Parthenocarpic Seed

[whoose]

Anyone use parthenocarpic seeds in their greenhouses. Cucumber, tomato, squash any others. What are your experiences and how well do these plants do in greenhouses?

There is a whole thread somewhere here about them.
As for tomatoes you dont need them and I dont think they exist if they do they are a hoax as far as I know.
As for the rest I have read here the results were good.

I am growing diva cucumber, cavili and dunja squash next year. High mowing seeds has several parthenopcarpic varieties, I noticed they have also added a yellow zucchini. And they have free shipping!

I have been growing Partenon Zucchini squash in my pop up tent for the last 3 years to avoid the Squash borer and bugs. It has worked like a charm and I get lots of squash. No other even regular variety does as well as these. I got my packet from Johnny's for 2013 and they have remained viable for the last 3 years. I have a few left for 2016.

I have also grown the Diva cucumber but haven't had as good results but I think that is my fate with cucumbers in general! I would like to hear your result with Cavilli, as that is on my list for future grow outs.

Sweet Success is my favorite variety of cuke.

I used to grow Sweet Success. I had forgotten about that one. I never tried it inside one of my pop up tents. It might well do better than the Diva! It was my favorite also until I ran out of seeds and decided to try some other varieties like Diva. Now my husband no longer tolerates cucumbers well so I grow just a few for me.

I have been contemplating doing this! I was thinking a PVC frame to go over the plant with row cover material to allow light. How do you do it?
