Do I prune my zuke/cuke seedlings?
Hi All,
I have a black thumb. So if anything actually grows, I am tickled.
It hurts my heart to prune anything. But ...
This years in my garden, I planted both zucchini and Japanese cucumbers:
three seeds to a hole. To my "astonishment" ALL
three seeds now have seedlings. Big ones too!
Question for those wiser and with a green thumb: do I prune
the seedlings back to the largest one? Do I leave them
alone? Any words of wisdom?
If I prune, how do I do that? Just pull them up? Cut them with
scissors close to the ground so as to not disturb the remaining
one's roots?
Many thanks,
-T
