It's easy to take a dig at the Victorian gardening obsession with "perfection", but the fact is - try as a modern farmer to sell even slightly imperfect produce to supermarkets and see how you go. How many curvy, uneven cucumbers and russeted apples do you see at your local store?

Obsessed is right! Liked the quirky historical gardening artifact invented by the famous railway engineer. 🥒

Botanical Treasures totally agree! I don’t care how mine is shaped, just the flavor 😄 So interesting to learn all this.

Yes, knowing the historical background is delightful. Also these cukes are simply crisp, delicious, and don’t require peeling. 🌱

Botanical Treasures I would probably order it but I have five varieties of cucumber growing right now lol I’ll have to grow it next year! So the skin isn’t bitter at all?

Not in my experience. I’ve only eaten them, not grown them. I imagine that these cukes require more protection from pests and extreme weather not having a thick skin.

Botanical Treasures I’m sure you’re right. Especially those nasty cucumber beetles. Thank you, I’ll have to try this one!

Cucumbers are crocked when you grow them on the ground...

Could somebody please tell me when should I remove the male flowers from a Telegraph Improved cucumber ?

You can do so pretty much immediately, just as soon as you are able to determine that they are the male blossoms and there isn't a tiny cucumber attached.
