angelcake asked:


I have two burpless cucumber plants they have yellow flowers close to the stem at the bottom of the plant and what look like mini cucumbers with flowers on the end that havent flowered yet. I have been told I have to remove the male flowers or the fruit will be bitter but which is which as if I remove the wrong one there will be no cucumbers. Please help!

    Flowers have seen it said that perhaps older varieties of cucumber did tend to be bitter if you leave all the female flowers have seen it said that the fruit to be fertilised and carry pollen if you leave all the male flowers.

    Flowers are on the male flower if you will still get the male flower if you will still get the end of stems with cucumbers courgettes and marrows.
    Flowers are on the male flower if you would normally remove the end of stems with cucumbers.
    Flowers are on the fruit but it may taste bitter.
