This year is my first year for growing cucumbers. And I decided to grow some from seed mostly for something for my 3 year old daughter to enjoy, planting, watering, watching grow, etc. Right now the plants are in 16 oz. plastic Solo cups and they are all around 7" tall. I plan on transplanting three plants into larger pots and growing them in the pots. I don't have any room in my small garden to have cucumbers in the ground. At what point does anyone reccomend I transplant the plants into the larger pot? I usually don't plant my garden outside until the middle of May. I am in northern Indiana and we could still very possibly get frost overnight. If need be, I could put the plants into the pots and keep them inside the house for a little while. Thanks for any advice on this.
