Cucumber Problem

Cucumbers have come on really well apart from recently leaves starting to turn yellow and some are flowering.  They have a really good root system and wonder if I should pot them into a larger pot meantime until ready to go into greenhouse.  Also should I pinch out any that are starting to flower?  I sowed them earlier this year but everything has come on earlier than last year somehow.  I had few seeds left so have sown them just in case!!

    The leaves that are turning yellow at the bottom are the seed leaves which are the first to grow, these die off as the true leaves develop, otherwise they look healthy.

    I would definitely pot on your plants. The pots they are in are too small for them now.

    And you can bury the stem up to those seed leaves.

    Thanks. Previously I have repotted too soon!! Should I nip out the flowers?
