Advice...Cucumber Plant.
I always thought you had to take the Male flowers off? as I was told years ago that if you didn't the cucumbers would have a bitter taste? I looked on the RHS website & they say Don't remove the Male Flowers.
Now I'm confused?
I have been taking them off :-0
Oh! Growing in my Greenhouse :o))

Depends on variety and where, the outdoor [ridge type] you leave on

I only grow female only varieties. Perhaps the modern varieties have had the bitterness bred out of them.
I wouldn't worry ladyessex.
