Hi
Thanks for reading. This is my first year gardenening, ever and was just wondering if 1) I planted too many seeds in the seed tray and 2) should I put them in bigger pots yet?

2) not yet, but you need to thin the seedlings you have to the one strongest seedling per section now. it's better to use tiny sissors & snip off the weaker seedings rather than pulling them out & disturbing the roots of the one you are keeping.i'm guessing those are 6" or 8" pots? if so, they're ok for starting, but you can't grow tham out in them. you'll need at least 12" pots, & preferably larger if you plan to grow the plants in pots. that's per plant (although 2 cucumbers should be ok in a 14" or larger pot)
don't keep your cucumbers that wet. you'll get fungus &/or mildew.
