Hello everyone.

Everything I've planted so far has done well (including my upside down tomatoes). I ordered some cucumber seeds (took forever to get them). I started them in my bio-dome, package said 6-10 days. They came up in 4 days, about an inch tall, with only the first set of leaves.

OK, finally my question...I transplanted them to a bigger pot already. Is this okay? I don't want to rush them, but I am trying to get some pepper seeds to germinate, so figured it was best to get them out of the dome.

Cukes grow so fast you don't normally need to start indoors. And like weezie said they don't transplant very well. I usually just direct sow them in the garden in May.

If something happens, you can always start more,
like John said, they do grow fast...
They aren't shy once they get going!!!

Keep us posted...

Rosepetal,
Try saving some see thru juice jugs, cut the very bottom off, and put those over where you've planted the seeds, *(keep the lids too, and put them on over night but make sure you take them off my mid~morning's sun, or they'll fry in there once they've sprouted)* then inbetween the seedlings put some landscaped fabric or something...
*(I use fences straight up in my garden and put that fabric between them so the weeds don't grow and it holds a bit of the moisture in..)*

speaking of cucumbers. . . i've heard of people growing them vertically into the air on a fence or a support of some sort. . . has anyone tried this method and any input on it plz

I hear you Danno. My 1st pepper seeds (store bought and from some Vietnamese peppers my wife had) came up real slow compared to my tomatoes. Good to say they are all transplanted.

I figured to try some more peppers and just dried some seeds from peppers I got from the store. They haven't done anything, so I am planning on giving up on them (or maybe give them one more week?).

I'm guessing it may be too late to start anymore from seeds, so if I get the "bug" for more pepper plants (I have 27 going in containers now) I'll just pick some up locally.

Cool!!!

I planted some here, wayyyyyyyy earlier than I normally would... several have been hit by frosts,
and the other half have been eaten by slugs...

But the rest are pluggin' along good...
What kind are you growing?????

I always string my cucumber vines up the side of my garden fence (I have a major fence to keep the deer out) and they do very well. It saves space for other stuff around them. You have to just keep an eye on the fruit as it forms to make sure it doesn't get tangled up in the fence. I've had more than my share of c-shaped cucumbers!
