The first cucumbers of the season were picked on 27th May 2025. These prolific mini-cucumbers (Passandra F1) can be picked when they are 10-15 cm long (Photo 1).

I grow this vegetable in my polytunnel using the Quadgrow planters. Once established in the Quadgrow, they put on rapid growth provided it doesn't get too cold overnight. Fortunately, April and May have both been frost-free this year. Just two weeks ago (15/05/25), these cucumbers were tiny (Photo 2).

These F1 hybrid seeds are relatively expensive (approximately 50p per seed) but I expect 100+ cucumbers from the four plants I cultivate. Enough to enjoy raw in salads or with dips or turned into cucumber relish.
