Need some advice. I decided to try my hand at growing vegetables. I chose zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes. I put them in plastic pots that are about 1"X1" and about a foot deep. You're going to laugh, but being the virgin planter that I am, I put THREE packets of seeds in each pot!! I now know that was way too much, as I was informed after the fact.lol So I was told that farmers generally lay more seeds then needed, then go through and *thin* them out, by pulling the ones that didn't grow as good. MY PROBLEM is that ALL of them are GROWING...GREAT!! Such as my luck. So I am wanting to know two things...#1. When should I thin them out?(I will have to throw away about 15+...seems like murder.lol) and #2. I would like to leave the veggies grow in the pots and just *stake* them...but I need to know if my pots are large enough?
Thanks for any advice you can heed my way
