Since I lost my cucumbers again I decided to try some seedlings this time. Went to Lowes. I found the variety I always like to grow but the pots each had 4 seedlings in them. They looked pretty healthy but I am not sure if they would thrive. What does one do, just break them apart, cut them apart, maybe soak them to rinse off the soil and tease them apart? I've read and experienced that cucurbits are sensitive to root damage. But I cannot see buying a single pot with 4 seedlings just to destroy three of them as some have suggested elsewhere.
