After quite a bit of head scratching about where to put my cucumbers -(initially I was going to grow them inside this tent, up the arches -but then I realised I would be using up space and pots I needed for my brassicas) I have come up with the solution of attatching strings to a bucket -running them over the arch and down to another bucket on the other side. There are only 2 strings on each bucket at the moment, but before I plant anything in there I will add more zig zag ropes to train them up. Plus I will sink a smaller pot into the bucket to plant the cucumber in, so that I can water into the bucket part as cucumber stems don't like getting too wet ..
So I have room for 6 cucumbers there if need be -the troughs inbetween haven't been decide on yet -but they won't stay empty long..
