snip back first true leaves - March 6th, 2007 at 07:50 PM
Recently, I decided to get some peat pellets and start a little vegetable garden. I'm somewhat confused with how the instructions read. It states: After first true leaves appear, snip back all except strongest seedling in each pellet.
What is considered "first true leaves"?
I am growing cucumbers, tomatoes, peas and beets. Its only been about 2 weeks and the cucumbers have taken off! In each pod there are 3 tall stalks with 2 leaves at the top. As I'm not sure when I should "snip back", I am hesitant in doing so. Can anyone help?
Also, any tips relating to this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much!
