Wow. Excuse my ignorance but what is the difference between a cucumber and a gherkin. I thought a gherkin was a pickled cucumber !!!!

Not sure, but the gherkin cucumber is a different variety - it's more rough skinned.

Wow. I only have 2 plants out of 5 still alive and I am expecting them to die. My first attempt so I don't know what I have done wrong but will try again next year

My first attempt too, so I must be lucky! My courgettes are not doing so well however - it's all a big experiment isn't it 😊
