I got a little eager when transplanting some small cucumber and squash plants about 6 weeks ago. Now the plants are beautiful, growing and have many buds on them. The problem is that the raised bud is very crowded. My question to everyone is...Can I safely transplant some of the plants into containers without shocking them and losing the buds?Thanks!

You may lose some buds wghen you tranplant them, but there are products out on the market with B! vitamins in the fertilizers that will lessen the amount of shock that will happen with it when plants are planted and transplanted. I would recommend going to your local nuresery and they can hely you find such a product.
