About how many cucumber plants can I grow in a 21 inch pot that is abour
18
inches tall? I ran across some interesting seeds, Hmong Red and Gold
Lemon.
I thought they'd be cool to try - something different.


Vegetative growth is proportional to root growth. The less room for the
roots, the smaller the plant above ground.



So one? Two?

One. You'll get more cukes from one uncrowded plant than from 2-3 plants
that are crowded... so it really depends whether you want to grow cucumbers
or cucumber plants.
