Hi All,
I planted zuke seeds in these cute little 3" peat moss
cups. Three per cup. Not all the cups have sprouted
(I know, PATIENCE!).
When I go to plant them in my garden, can I separate
the multiple sprouts from the same cups, or should
I just prune out the two small ones?
Many thanks,

I like to leave the 2 strongest in each hill . You think zukes take
patience ? Try sprouting Anaheim peppers . My record is zero sprouts for two
years effort . Grrr . Which reminds me I need to get the okra seedlings in
the ground .
Hi Terry,
Never ever been successful with Peppers. Grew Poblanos
(called Ancho after they are dried) one year. Got like
three tiny peppers off of two plants. I feel your pain.
As an experiment last year I planted nine zukes on a particular
hill. And ALL NINE sprouted. So I left them to see what would
happen. They all came out stunted. I got one pickle sized
fruit total from that mound.
