Are you planting these seeds outdoors now? Wondering if it still may get too cold in Orlando for cucumbers and peppers planted now.

nope--planted in a cell pack. an experiment with the cucurbits. i usually direct sow these at the beginning of march, when i plant my solanaceae. but i have extra seeds, the seeds themselves aren't that expensive and the trouble is minimal...so why not try to get a head start? last year i had great success growing squash in large nursery pots, in a super-draining mix.
