>>341426Where do you live? A house or an apartment? If you have a house, check your horticultural hardiness zone and let us know so we can assist you more. Its not too late to work the soil and get it ready for them. I don't grow cucumbers however I did grow a zucchini/squash plant this year and I believe they are in the same family. I wish I grew more because the plant's flowers are not 'perfect' (definition of a 'perfect' flower is one that has male and female parts so it fertilizes itself like tomatoes). Zucchinis (and I'm guessing cucumbers too) need outside pollinators like bees and the plant produces more female than male flowers so I 'could' have gotten more zucchinis had they been pollinated right. I did manage to get three MONSTERS. The biggest one is 17" and weighs 4.4 lbs and went from flower to fruit in 16 days
If you have the space in the backyard, I'd say plant them all there so you'll attract the bees who like the flowers and you'll double or quadruple your crop with the extra male flowers and the pollination that would occur. Do you know what variety of cucumbers you have? That is another thing.. you 'might' be able to grow them in pots but don't push your luck because if the pot is too small the roots will choke eachother
But yeah please don't be a monster and don't kill any of the plants. I live by a methodology where if I know I can't take care of each seed that potentially grows into a plant, I refuse to plant more than one seed and I can wait a week or two to plant another one so I don't run into problems of not knowing where to put the plants. An alternative you could do is give them to a good friend (not a lazy one who won't water them and they'll die) who is a gardener or you could even sell them on craigs list or give them away if need be. When I planted my tomatoes this year, I put one Supersteak Hybrid seed it and two plants (twins) came out and I refused to kill or get rid of it and now both are about 6 feet tall. Always care for life!
