Start Your Cucumber Seeds Now To Get A Head Start On Spring! Cucumbers are one of the most popular garden crops of all time. They are easy to grow, but sometimes do not transplant well, so you really have to get them going and well established ahead of spring.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, your growing season is finite, and often too short to properly ripen Cucumbers that are directly seeded into the garden. Starter plants are expensive, so you need a plan! The plan is simple, start your own Cucumber seeds indoors, now during the winter, to get a head start on spring planting!
In this video, I show you from start to finish how to plant your own Cucumber seeds, at scale, so that you can be ready for spring, and have as many Cucumber starter plants as your garden can handle. The method works for any variety, and the strategies mentioned here are useful to beginners and veteran green thumbs alike!

We direct sow, but are VERY careful about checking the time to harvest. Maybe we should try starting indoor s this year!
These grow so fast
I direct sow in zone 4b and I got loads of cucumbers last year. Although I did start a tray indoors but lost them all bc I couldn’t get them in the ground due to bad Spring weather so I put seed in the garden and they did great. They don’t transplant well for me.
Way back in the 1970s, my dad tilled up part of the back yard so that I could put in a garden. I started seeds indoors in peat pots because somebody at the Hoak's Greenhouse had told me that cucumbers, melons, and similar types of produce do not transplant well. The guy told me that with the peat pot, I could just plant it pot and all. So that's what I did. I put one seed in each pot got my plants started and put in the ground after the last frost. They did okay and my mom used some of the cucumbers to make pickles. Last year, I got a late start; so, purchased plants ready to go in the containers. The cucumbers were Market More type cucumbers. If I could do it differently, I would have rigged some kind of trellis; but, I still got quite a few cucumbers. Soon as I rig up an indoor gardening system, I want to try Bushmaster cucumbers.
Part 2 of the Cucumber Series is up! Here, we take those germinated plugs after their first true leaves emerge and set them up in 4-inch standard nursery pots for both sale and final transition into the spring garden/greenhouse. https://youtu.be/EwFVJ79fPA8
