My cucumber plants finally seem to be flowering (yeah!).
But I read this on the GW website and I don't know what it means.....
"Pinch out cucumber sideshoot tips two leaves beyond a female flower"
How can tell the difference between male and female flowers?

Thanks MG, I'll wait to see a wee fruit then lop the rest of the shoot off! Cheers.

The female flower, once fertilised, will have a baby cucumber at the base.
