Hi, I live in Polokwane, Limpopo Province, so it is quit hot around here. Can I plant English Cucumbers in direct sunlight or can I plant it in a greenhouse with 40 persent sun troughlet, what kind of insectisides do I use? Can I plant it in pots of about 30cm high and 20 cm wide, then spaced to your specs or must it go directly in the ground?
