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.

Well , nine IS a bit much ... on the peppers , once I can get them to grow
, I usually get pretty good yields . This year I have red bell peppers and
got some Serrano's to grow . Last year I grew some cayennes , year before it
was jalapenos . 3 or 4 plants will produce a couple of years worth for the 2
of us .
