Hi, Everybody,

Springtime here, and I just put in some cucumber
seedlings into 10-litre (2 and a half gal) buckets.
Any suggestions on leaving them to wander on the
surface, or supporting them?

One stake in the centre (tied with string), or three
stakes around the edge, in a tripod form, with strings
going between?

Thanks in advance!

In our AZ desert location, the hot winds and relentless sun tend to dry out
the vines so letting them run free is best. But you need to put a board or
some such thing under the cukes to keep them off the ground. Olin
