Cucumber from seed

Now that I know pretty much what went wrong last time it is time to try it again with cucumbers.  This time the rockwool cubes will be skipped and the seeds put directly in the clay pebbles.  These are the same Burpee picklebush cucumbers.  Basically to plant scoop the pebbles till you hit the wet layer.  That should be about 1/2" deep.  Place your seeds there and then cover and sprinkle a little water on top.

This is after 2 days in the grow bed.

Eight days.  Cucumbers are in the back right hand corner.  Tomatoes in front and rear left hand.  Strawberries on the front left corner.
