Pickling cucumbers

[BasilRock]

I should have added for Basil, the seeds that I bought are Sumter pickling cukes.

Your sunroom is to die for. Your seeds are what you need. Now, if you look on my profile picture the container in the background is the one that I grew all the cukes in. It did not have a trellis, but it did wrap around my tomatoe plants that were in the ground next to it. Also along the fence. So, I think that a couple of large containers (I think you want to can a lot) and then maybe somehow stake a trellis next to it would do the trick. Maybe even alongside the frame of your sunroom you could anchor them.
I am sure you will figure it out. You must take pictures after they get started.

Hi Linda, I just went out to measure my containers. The terra Cotta ones are 11 1/2" deep x 17" wide and the green ones are 20" deep x 18" wide. There are heavy duty plastic and I can leave them out all year round. I am atth some pics of what I plant in them. and another shot of my garden at the end of the season so you can see that I do not have a really big space. I use quite a few containers and as you can see, I even get really large peppers, which I start from seed.

Wo plantingw bev, yo're giving me some great ideas for the sunroom. I do have some containers which I think would be extremely suitable. in your profile you mentioned that you craft, me too, what else do you do ???? I make greetings cards for the Soldiers in the Mid East and I glass etch (I have a cricut)

Sure is nice to see green things! Thanks for the pics. I'm determined to do a herb garden by the kitchen this year.

Bought one of those indoor greenhouses were you plant your seeds in little fibre pots. Nothing ventured nothing gained, just planted my cucumber seeds. Have to leave them in a warm place, out of sunlight, so they're going in the guest bedroom.

i am well pleased with the way my cucumbers are going. Out of 18 pots planted with seed, I have 15 going strong after I repotted them. I planted some green pepper seeds a few days after and I have three so far that I have had to transplant into bigger fibre pots. I planted Jalapeno and tomato seeds last week. I intend to take full advantage of the sunroom
