Hello Friends, this video is all about why it is important to wait to start cucumber, winter squash, summer squash and pumpkin seeds. I know many people who start them early but there is a very important reason- all of these plants grow really fast and do not like being transplanted and they do not like their roots disturbed. Direct seeding is preferred, but starting these seeds in pots or trays needs to be delayed so the outside weather is more favorable for transplanting them quickly after germination.
Also, funny story time, as you watch this video, you will notice a certain cat snuck up into the seedling trays and continues to walk across. I usually restrict her access, or try, to the seedlings but she took advantage of me filming, lol.
As always thank you for watching and please feel free to share any tips below or what you have learned in starting cucumbers/squashes.
