Male flowers on all-female cucumber?
I am growing an all-female F1 mini greenhouse cucumber and I have never grown them before. I am a bit worried that there appear to be some male flowers as well- I thought that there wouldn't be any. Should I remove them? How will I know now whether the female ones have been pollinated?
