Cucumbers or Courgettes & Plum Tomatoes

Hi,

I was given a packet of T&M seeds which I planted and have now all come up. Trouble is that I can no longer see on the packet if these are cucumbers or courgettes. The code is 4591. Does anyone know what they are?
I have e-mailed T&M and tried their website but nothing is coming up with that code.

Also can anyone recommend any good plum tomatoes? Baby ones and regular ones please? Ideally I'm looking for plants, not seeds. T&M only send them by the end of June, I would like them earlier.

Thanks

The only advice I have is that if you put them outside (or if they already are outside) then courgettes will grow at an alarming speed in this weather, whereas cucumbers will be far more slow growing.

Cucumber leaves seem to be more prickly/frilly/spikey around the edges much smaller than courgettes. Also courgette leaves tend to be much darker/bluer than cucumber, but I'm speaking from personal experience, so different varieties/growing conditions may make all this irrelevant to you!!

I'm in west Wales, if that helps! Good luck x

Try a google image search, I am always doing that for IDing plants.

If you're not sure, post a pic of the baby plants & we can ID them for you - they look very different.
