I don't know why, but my zucchini I am getting ready to transplant this week are a little leggy. About 2.5 to 3 inches tall. I started them in the basement and as soon as they started to germinate the went under the lights and when they were all up I put them out in the high tunnel greenhouse. They have full sun and are growing great. They are only 2 weeks old and ready to go. My question is this. Do I plant them a little deep to cover up some of that longer stem or will I run the risk of the stem rotting if I do that? Last year I had a similar problem, but I don't remember what I did and I didn't write it down (big mistake!). I know that cucumbers and zucchini don't transplant well, but I am willing to take that chance to try to get a jump on the season. Last year we had cucumbers and zucchini by the end of May.
