No, it's not too late to start one inside. Though, really, you have to make the call on whether you want to invest time time and work, or wait. I have cucs volunteering in my garden now,

Tahlequah, OK

I have cantaloup volunteering in my garden, and the cucs I planted outdoors just breaking ground.

I am confused by the term "volunteering" what do you mean by that...

I am sure this is a big "duh" moment....

Ezzirah,
Volunteering is seeds from a previous crop germinating. In other words a crop you didn't plant this growing season. I've had volunteers of squash, cukes, ect coming up for over 2 weeks. I have cukes I planted up now. You could start them inside but I don't feel you would gain much if any. I planted mine two weeks ago. I have plastic milk cartons with the bottom cut out around them. More for wind and frost protection. They said there were areas close to me below 30 this morning. My low here registered at 34. Otherwise I wouldn't even have the milk jugs around them. Jay

cool...I guess I can go ahead and plant them then. I am just eager to get stuff out there and growing!

Thanks!

Ezzirah, I love "duh moments." That's a sign of learning!

hahaha I am glad you asked the cuke question. I went ahead and planted mine Sunday but I have been kinda nervous about it ever since. However I do have a few zucchini OR squash plants popping up in the compost pile. I feel so bad for them. I figure if they want to grow THAT bad I will find them a spot in the garden somewhere. I love surprises... now I just have to wait and see what I have 'more' of than I planned for.
