Like Weemamabell I grow Q's out of doors. I grow three individual plants each in a 12" x 12" x 12" container sited against a SW wall of the house. The variety is T&M's Cucina F1 Hybrid "Great for the Luchbox". They produced over 100, 3 - 4 inch Q's from late June to mid September. All they require is planting, watering, feeding, suporting with a single cane, tying in and harvesting every other day when fruit development starts. The great thing with this variety is you pick only what you need to consume immediately unlike traditional Q's which invariably are too large for one "sitting". These are just great for individual salads or as an individual contribution to the kids 5 a day. Worth a try. Dioon11

I grow a Cucumber plant every year and it is all female I find one plant is all I need as im the only one who eats them , I thin the cucumbers out from the plant as they appear so that I dont have too many , I find it very easy to grow and look after . Hope this helps
