Starting cukes/squash inside
from Backwoodswife on 03/31/2015 02:43 AMDoes anyone start these inside? My plant out date is 5/19 ish and I was thinking about starting these inside this year about 4 weeks before last frost. Wondering if anyone has any pros/cons on this? Thanks!

I haven't had much success starting seeds inside. They always seem to fragile when I start them inside.
