Hey Raybo my sweet success vines, 4 to a regular 18 gallon container in 5-1-1, fertilized with Espoma Garden tone, are looking great. Growing like mad up a net trellis with cucumbers hanging down. Should pick some within a few days.

Thanks for the "more per container" tip!

I did want to mention that I haven't seen any side leaders to prune so far.
Just leaf, runner, and fruit.

Is that how these grow? No side leaders to prune off?
