    My indoor cucs are about 8" high and I think they are ready for their final potting on. I wanted to 'double pot' as Dave had done but can't quite remember how it went and can't find the thread where the photo had been posted. Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Also, will one cane be enough support or will they need a framework. First time to grow cucs and they're mini munch so are a small variety.
    Thanks

    You will need more than one cane to support them. I've never grown mini munch, but the smaller varieties of cucs I've grown in the past are still large plants, over 6ft high then lots of branches trailing down from that height. Although the fruit is smaller there are many more of them so they will need a lot of support. :gnthb:

    Thanks John,

    I spent ages looking for it myself and gave up (I have too much to do IN the garden). Will copy the set up shown today.

    Thanks again Sheelagh :luv:
