is definitely too many...
5 of them are in the polytunne, l 2 of which (Jordanian) are spaced properly and going like the clappers. The other 3 (crystal lemon apple )are a bit too close together, and fortunately are a little more sedate in their fruit production. the polytunnel is heaving with honeybees and a few large white butterflies...

I know what you mean. I bought six cheapies from Wilkinsons at the start of the season and planted them in the polytunnel. Now, they've completely taken over it. For the last month or so, I've had masses of cucumbers, so many infact, that I've been giving them away to anyone who stands still enough for long enough and I've even sold some to the local pubs. I've got a load hanging there right now, they look just like a colony of fruit bats hanging from a tree.
