    Ref: Ridge cucumber (out door ) wilco seeds. Do male flowers have to be removed ?

    First time I have grown ridge cucumbers for many years. All of my garden books contradict each other, and you make no mention of the above on the packet.

    Pollination
    Ridge (outdoor) cucumbers produce both male and female flowers. The female flowers need to be pollinated by the male flowers for cucumbers to develop. With ridge cucumbers, insects will do the job for you. Don't remove any flowers from ridge cucumbers. If the plants are being raised under cloches or poly tunnels make sure they are opened up in the warmer parts of the day to let insects get at the flowers.
