I know I know, I need to separate them. I will when I get more pots. Honestly, I thought I’d have more time! I planted the seeds 6 days ago!! 48 hours ago they weren’t even out of the dirt yet!!

That’s hilarious!!
You may want to seperate them sooner than later. Cucumbers have pretty sensitive roots and you will probable lose some to transplant shock.
What I’ve learned in my first year (this year) of gardening.
If you are not prepared for growth, growth will wake you up in the middle of the night with a slap to the face and then BOOM seedlings falling out of your ass.
If you ARE prepared for growth, be prepared to wait about 3 business weeks for even the slightest sign that a seed may perhaps sprout sometime this year.
Thus far, I have found no in between.
Good luck to you and your new seedlings!
Be careful separating them and pull them out very slowly.
You’re the 2nd person today with a similar sized pot and dozens of cucumber seedlings.
Cucumbers don’t do well in pots. In-ground or raised bed with some kind of trellis. Cucumbers need a LOT of room. Some cucumber vines can get 8 to 20 feet long. If you don’t have a trellis then they need about 24-36 inches between plants.
Unless you want 75 cucumbers this summer, you only need 3ish plants. First year I grew them I had 9 plants… we couldn’t give the cucumbers away fast enough.
Wow!!
Wow! They look to happy and healthy! I’ve been trying to sprout my cucumbers seeds in soil under the sun- but the weather changed to cloudy and rainy. My seedling keep getting water logged 🙁
What type of soil do u use??
