Some of you will laugh at this simple question but can I grow my outdoor variety of cucumbers in the greenhouse? I germinated too many outdoor ones and a few earlier indoors would go amiss.

Thanks for any advice.

I grew three so-called outdoor Cucumber plants in my greenhouse last year with outstanding results...I am repeating the excercise this year too
I am in my own little world, ...it's OK, ...they know me there!

I always grow 'marketmore' in the greenhouse, and it is an outdoor type I beleive. Always get enough cukes to feed a small army! :lol:

Hi David,
I now do not grow cucumbers but when I did I had far more success with Burpless let to go wild at the base of my tomato plants than any of the others.
Reason for not growing is that I like cucumber but cucumber dislikes me!!
I'm sure they will be absolutely fine in the greenhouse.
JB.
