Oh wow! I’m surprised you put them all in the same tray! How are you planning on separating them?

#### keira replied on 2026-03-31

haha i didn’t expect them all to grow tbh lol, and im gonna put them in the six tray packet holders yk, and just pick them up from the root of the plant 🌱

we did it in highschool last year with tomatoes and cauliflower so i assume it’ll work the same with these cucumbers 😅🤞🏻

You can when they’re young pick them up by the seed leaf (never the stem, it’s too delicate) and gently smoosh/shake the soil away while gently pulling the seedlings apart. It’s best done a day or two after watering while the soil is still damp I find.

Ohh wow you planted a lot. I only grew 4 😕

#### keira replied on 2026-03-31

awww:( maybe try again! i just grew these last week…. 😅 seeds from Dollar general and the humidity tray from Dollar tree!

#### keira replied on 2026-03-31

actually the cucumber seeds are from lowe’s

#### Jannette replied on 2026-03-31

Maybe I’ll do 2 more, I planted 4 last year and I got about 6-8 cucumbers. I’m having construction so I can’t go crazy this year.

Cucumbers are my favorite veggie to grow from seed because I feel like they’re so resilient. These look great!
