My gherkins are growing what seems like excessively sharp spines.
I know i harvested these (below) a little late so its pronounced but even the little ones are covered in the sharp hairs.
Im using Adam Gherkin (Cucumis sativus) from Johnny seeds who ive always had good experiences with but this cultivar Im not so sure about.
Are these excessively spiney or do most gherkins come out this way?
Is there any way to reduce spine growth?
I did use blossom set spray could that be a contributing factor?
Many thanks for any help
Stefan
