You can start cucumbers, squash & zucchini in cups as transplants 2-4 weeks before they would go into your garden. You want 50 degree nights and days that get into the 70+ degree range for planting them outdoors in the ground. But you can start them in cups, during cooler weather. They make great transplants and you can get them started while you get your beds ready and wait for the right temperatures. Check out my vegetable gardening blog: The Rusted Garden.

Thank you...your explanation is very clear

35 to 32 degrees but I put shedded area now. thank your for your imformation.

from the phillines I seeds cocumber very difficult to grow what the temperature of heat.

I had some squash and zucchini planted in a container and it was to crowded so I transplanted my squash and zucchini from one container to others and they have been wilted for 3 days now.The plants are about 2 months. What can I do to help my plants and save them from dying. Please help I really don't want to start over but I did start some more from seed in case they die.

Staring my cucumber and zucchini seeds today we have a little bit of a cold spell so I think it's appropriate timing now here in California most people doing earlier but something just told me to wait we'll see how it goes thank you

My cucumbers are about 19 days old but they are huge some have around 4-6 true leaves they are still in a pot should I transplant then into the ground?

Hi Gary. For indoor starts on cucumbers , how far away from the grow light (I have 250w cfl) do you put them ? My normal outdoor planting date is mid May. So I'm guessing I can start cucumbers indoors soon.

Another great video, can't thank you enough Gary for these great tips.

What happens when you transplant too quick

Your entire channel has been invaluable to me in terms of learning gardening skills. I primarily do indoor gardening because of a skin condition that dictates that I spend most of my time indoors.

Have had great success with my herbs thanks to your tips and am now looking to start some cucumbers and squash.

Thanks for such a great informative channel!!!:)

THE FORM CUPS ARE NOT GOOD FOR ENVIORMENT.

great tips. I messed up my zucchini keeping it in a 4" pot too long :(

Thanks for sharing

Great video. I'm dying to plant cucumber to see them grow. They are delicious.

hi gary I'm young 12 year old gardener and i have okra,tomato,cantaloupes,watermelon and cucumber plants they are growing in my native soil but are surprisingly coming along great because there is a fruit tree fertilizing soil.but i have one question my cucumber plants are vining everywhere and today the flowers came but my plants is really young is this good or bad? plz reply and i love ur videos

+spongebillyboi Even more importantly why aren't you using Ad-Block Plus? You shouldn't even ever see a commercial on YouTube...

Hi Gary,

I've attempted to grow my cucumbers indoors twice, but no luck. I grew them in cells and watered them from the bottom- making sure to remove all excess water. My seeds did sprout wonderfully, however, within two days they're dead. I can't seem to understand why. Why do you think this may be?

+spongebillyboi I dont control the commercials, YouTube manages what gets put before my channels.

I always enjoy your videos and my zucchinis and cucumber are pretty much well on their way.

i really enjoy your vids but i must ask.... why the commercials for chemical soup? that goes totally against the grain of sustainably growing your own food organically!
