Cucumber/Summer Squash Suggestions for a Cool Wet Spring

greenthumbomaha · May 6, 2019

I have several cups started and will restart some as they look miserable. I may have cooked them under lights or some did not like being outside once germinated. Butternut is doing wonderful, watermelon meh, cucumbers not so much. I'm sure that I have seed for SMR 58, and I didn't remember that it originated in Wisconsin. I'll check my tags and see if I need to start that one.

Useful information, as usual, Robert. Thus going forward I will turn to Fedco Usually I can start seed in the ground in early June, and start just a few in pots. This year everything is cooler than normal, in part due to the continued high water table from rain and levy releases. I want plants ready when summer finally arrives.
