    Even though you can purchase fresh produce at the farmer's market, I like to be sure that no chemical will be used when I grow my own garden plants. Growing cucumbers and tomatoes at home from seeds, saves you so much money, especially when you grow a large amount of them.

    To speed up the growing process, I recommend soaking the seeds before sowing them. After starter plants are about 1 inch tall (2.5 cm) they need to be repotted into a larger container, so the root has more room to expand.

    Cucumber and Tomato Starter Plants

    4" (10 cm) wide in diameter pots

    Simple Steps

    Plant seedlings into pots that have holes on the bottom. When you fill a pot with soil, it will be loose so pack it down for the roots to have a nicely packed soil to grow into. Since this is potting soil or a starting soil mix you will not over pack the soil, there will be plenty of air pockets.

    Make a hole in the middle of the pot about one inch (2.5 cm) deep, lift a vegetable starter using a popsicle stick, or if using starter containers remove from the container one at a time. Repot into a larger pot so the plant has plenty of room for continuing growth before it gets planted into the garden.

    Water the pots carefully so that the soil does not splatter onto a plant; by doing this, it will prevent any bacterial contamination. Check the plants daily to keep the soil moist but not saturated.

    Another way to water these plants is to place pots into a plastic container. Fill the water for about one inch and the plant will get moist through the holes on the bottom of the pots.

    My preference is to place pots with plants into a cardboard box (that keeps the soil moist longer), and water each plant very carefully from the top.

      Can you not just put your seeds into the small pots to begin with so that you don’t have to transplant them?

        Yes, you may. You can just replant the seeds that did not sprout into the small pots again if you wish.

      Do they need direct sunlight or indirect?

      my cucumber sprouts are not producing a third leaf it's been about 2weeks growing indoors with a fluorescent light on them for 18 hours 6 hours off watering from the bottom waiting for some plant food coming tomorrow a compost tea. They look healthy otherwise just not much change.

        I do not use fluorescent light. I would try giving the plants regular daylight. Chemicals released from fluorescent light may prevent the plant to grow.
