yep, Is my first time aroun the block... I have 4 in a row, and they are progresively taller, the less afternoon sun they get. I'll get mine in the ground earlier next year and do them along the opposing wall, which I think will be a better compromise... they like sun but not getting too hot. Next year I'll plant 10 (2 seed packets, these are friggen expensive consideringyou only get 5 seeds) but they seem to be carrying well, most of them are on their second cucumber now.
