starting cucumbers-was seed exch.

In the future try starting your cucumbers in strawberry baskets. Line
the baskets with a little bit of newspaper, add the dirt and seeds, and
then when ready, transplant the entire thing into the garden. The roots
will grow through the baskets and at the end of the season you can dig
up the basket and save to use next year.
