I planted cucumbers way too soon

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
At least it wasn't outside.

I saw blossoms on my peach tree and caught the gardening bug.

I was planting lettuce and strawberry plants in my hanging baskets a couple nights ago and decided cucumbers would be good in hanging baskets too.

But wait, it's not even april. It's still freezing some nights.

So they're in my bathroom. Hopefully they don't completely take over in the next few weeks, it's a small bathroom. Should I put them outside during the day? It's been 55 - 60 lately, and it is almost always sunny here.

Mine have been enjoying a sunny window for the last 4 weeks. I'm struggling to remember which ones are cucumbers vs. squash, pumpkin, or watermelon, but the tallest ones are about 8-12 inches now. The smaller ones are falling over, possibly damping off

My average last frost date is approaching, I'm watching the extended weather forecast to see how soon I can put them outside.

Well, I'm jealous. My cucumber (also inside) hasn't even sprouted yet, and I've been waiting a month. *pout* On the other hand, my pumpkin seedling already has roots coming out of the pot. Ack!
