I agree -- I start mine several weeks before planting out and they seem to do much better than direct sown. My favorite variety is "Summer Dance," a long (12" plus) slim type, with small seeds, that grows best on a trellis and is extremely productive.

I never heard of Summer Dance, I will have to look it up.

So hold on, I did look it up and it looks very good. I am sure I would like it.

Years and years ago I used to direct sow a whole row of cucumbers. They came up fine and it worked out well. I must not have has as many slugs as I could never do that now.
