Does anyone have experience growing cucumbers?
I decided to try this year and I bought some seeds (for lemon cucumbers... they look so weird
). I tried to start the seeds inside in a biodegradable container and no luck. 3 of the seeds never germinated and the fourth one gave a small plant that then withered and died. I think my apartment might have been too cold (we turned off the heat really early this spring)
I read in my book that I can plant seeds directly outside at the end of May. Would they still grow quickly enough? My space really limited so I don't want to waste some on a plant that might never grow enough to give me anything...
I could also buy plants, but then I wouldn't have lemon cucumbers, only regular ones. Also, I heard that cucumber plants hate to be transplanted.
What should I do?
