Baby cucumbers in pots

2 replies

I am so excited to have 3 healthy baby cucumber plants that I have grown from seed (first timer). I have to grow in pots on my patio. They have been successfully repotted into their final pots (still indoors behind south facing glass) and I have made a teepee for each of them using 3 garden canes per pot. However, I am now worried the teepees aren't tall enough! But I don't think I can remove them/replace with taller ones without causing root damage. There are also some little flowers beginning to appear, which I've read are best left undisturbed. So what to do?! I am learning from google and books. I just didn't realise they can get excessively tall!

Put them somewhere they can crawl sideways when they reach the top? Mine usually grow up canes for about 1.5 metres then start along canes I have suspended longitudinally below the greenhouse roof (as support for bubble wrap in the winter).

Thanks so much, this is a great idea! I will try to suspend some canes along my shed somehow. I thought all was lost!
