yep thats cool. ive had 14 good ones this year from one plant, and got more to come if im lucky. the seed cost £1 each and the 75lt sack of compost was £4.  I'll re-use the compost and ive sold a few cues and given a few away and eaten the rest.
at least, one of my plants has returned more than it cost!!
ten plants, grown well, could make a good profit if you had a route to market. :thumbsup:

I've made £1.00 from selling my cukes at work  ;D ;D  (2@30p and 2@20p)


Taking into account gro-bags, nitrogen granules, seeds, replacement plants etc etc - we've - er - run at a bit of a loss  ;D ;D


But I am enjoying it so much and am learning so much.
