The ones I started sceem a little tall. When I trasnsplant them can I put them in deep? Or will they start to grow out more then up?
Thanks
This morning I transplanted a cucumber that I purchased from Home Depot on Sunday. It was in a tiny little pot (3" diameter?), but the plant was nearly 6" tall already. When I tore off the pot I saw only white, as the roots had completely filled in the pot. I could barely see any soil through the root fabric.jal_ut wrote:I have long been of the opinion that squash does better planted from seed placed where the plant will grow. They don't seem to like their roots messed with. They also have a gigantic root system and starting them in pots gets their root all curled up. They could have an extensive root system when reaching the size of your transplants if started directly.
