I've got a half dozen pots, each with (2-4) healthy Zuchini and Cucumber plants that I started from seeds. I thinned the germinators to this plant density, knowing that I should only have 1-2 full size plant for this size pot.
My question..........should I thin the pots with 3 or 4 healthy growing plants or leave them? I want the best possible yield of vegetables from my 'garden'.
Thanks,

As big as zucchini and cucumber get, I'd only put one in each pot. They do get very big, and trail everywhere, so you're going to need a lot of space on the ground too - but I think they'll look best alone in that size pot.
If looks really don't matter, go ahead and put one on each side of the pot - it shou'd be enough room for the roots, but you will need to water often!
