Hi poohpouri, I'm growing "Market More" its a ridge cucumber for outside, but at least three peeps on the forum are growing them in greenhouses/indoors, if its not outdoors you will need to polinate it by hand with a small artist brush, so no, dont take the male flowers off, they drop of on their own about a week from flowering anyway.

Hope thats of some use.

Plant Potty.

 

I've grown marketmore in our polytunnel for at least the last 5 years. I've never needed to hand pollinate and I've never removed any flowers. They crop abundantly.

anyone know about the baby sugar melons?

 

Melons need pollinating so its best to do it with a small brush around mid day.:WINK1:
