Oh! You Wanna See?
Oh-you wanna see my tender young cucumber plants? Well, here's my little patch, my first time experiment with growing just about anything. I have no idea if this container is big enough but I'll wait and see what happens.
Here's a close up of my plants-it's interesting how the leaves are shaped differently and what is that white stuff?
Please share any tips YOU have and does anyone know how long it will take before they bloom and start producing? Obviously I'm just watering them and keeping my fingers crossed at this point.

looks like you have leaf miners in your cukes. did you use garden soil to plant them?
this page has a pretty basic overview of cucumber growing. how big are the pots you have them in? i have seen cukes grown fairly successfully in half-whiskey barrels with tomato cages for support. good luck!
Ok, I googled Leaf Miners...thanks for the heads up. Any organic recommendations to shoo them OUT of my plants?
snails,and the plants are too close together.
Id go one plant per vessel
Should I pluck out all but one of the plants? can i move some of the plants to individual containers or will they not survive the move? Thanks for the advice! I need all I can get!
