Cucumber Seedlings

[WelshBoa]

Hi

I planted some cucumber seeds in a heated windowsill propogator along with some tomato and chillies.

The cucumbers have already germinated and are quite leggy now with two very small leaves at top.

The propogator does not leave an awful lot of bright sunlight in due to its semi obscure plastic and the condensation within.

Should I re-pot these or leave them for another day or two? The orientation on the plug means its difficult to turn the propogator around so they are drawn back vertically level with sunlight.

i personally would of said it's a bit early for cucumber,last year i planted early and they all ended up dying,I replanted end of may and they grew well ,I grew a outdoor/greenhouse one, but found he one ouside just died greenhouse one done well

I didn't mean to repot and put outside or in greenhouse. Just re pot and keep indoors although you may be right in thinking that the plants will grow too big for a window cill before they should be going out

I would agree that you are way too early with sowing Cucumbers. They are warm weather plants and require a soil temp of 60 + and should not be planted out until 2 weeks after the last frost. You wont be able to keep your plants inside until then.
