I wouldn't toss 'em, but I would continue the milk/water spray. Yep, a pic would be good. Good luck!

to be honest, we need better pics. Wait to do anything drastic until the son can take better pics.

Cuke seed sprouts pretty quickly. I would restart more seeds and keep the soil barely moist(it looks awfully wet in your photo). Or, start them in their permanent home outside, maybe under a cloche. I direct sow mine in their container when the weather is warm.

A cloche is just a transparent cover you put over a seedling or plant to protect it from the cold. (I think cloche is french for bell)
An easy one to make is to take a plastic gallon milk jug and cut off the bottom. Then just set it over the seed area, like a little tent. ![]() |

Newwine - I am wondering if some of this is milk residue from the spray. Please satisfy my curiousity and see if you can wipe or wash it off one of the leaves.

I dont see much of anything wrong.
And I would just sow outside. Cucumbers and some squash will just set there and do nothing till the weather warms up. The longer they sit the more of a chance they have of something eating them. When it gets hot and the nights warm up they will explode with growth. Worth |
