Boston picking cucumbers

[cucumberlover]

I started growing Boston cucumber in my bounty
We are past day 60 I don’t see any males or even know if I need males all I’m seeing is females not sure how to add photos as I’m new is any one familiar with this cucumber at all

I had trouble finding detailed growing info and photos of these through Google, but from what I can tell they are not parthenocarpic so you do need male flowers to pollenate with. Unfortunately I have never grown this variety so not sure, hopefully someone else has better info

Yeah we are past 60 days and I have all females next time I’ll grow two plants maybe I’ll get some luck with males

cucumberlover, my experience with growing cucumbers in an AG is limited to the Mini Munch, which has all female flowers and requires no pollination. However, Sher's recent post in the forum's Vegetables section includes a link to a helpful Aerogarden Experiments video on You Tube that discusses growing cucumbers that have male and female flowers.

Nice photos!
