Cucumbers

[workhorse]

I know you can earth up tomatoes by planting them deeper in the pot, but can you do the same with cucumbers?

[rustylady]

Yes, definitely. Tomatoes and cucumbers can produce new roots from the stems if they are buried in compost.

[workhorse]

Wonderful, thank you Rustylady.

By the way, at what size do you plant your Cucumbers and Toms?

[phil the shed]

yes workhorse it helps to strengthen them and make for a better and often stronger plant.

HI Phil the Shed

No panic at the moment, mine are only 2"-3" tall. Bit more to go yet.

Mine are in 4 inch pots now. Three pair of true leaves on. Doing really well inside in my conservatory.
