    Excellent presentation!
    English is my second language and I was pleasantly surprised to understand everything in detail. No where else I could find such a thorough explanation about all parts of the plant, the pollination and tips about healthy growth and rich harvest.
    Thank you so much!!

    After more than 40 years of growing my own vegetables I am still looking for tips to improve my gardening I love this video. You explain every detail very clearly and wisely. One thing that I plan to do next year is to include some flowers in my veggie garden to attract more pollinators to my cucumber plants. This year was the first time that I did staggered planting of my indeterminate English cucumbers. 3 weeks after planting my first set of seedlings that I raised indoors, I put more seeds in between the already growing vines on each side of my arched trellis. After watching your video I realized that I should have planted the seedlings on just one side of the trellis and later planted the seeds directly in the ground on the other side of the arched trellis. Regardless of my mistake, I am enjoying a second harvest. I am doing the same staggering with my pole green beans.

      Try borage! I hardly ever saw bees in my garden (other pollinators but not bees) until I planted borage. Now they're everywhere and everything is well-pollinated. Borage is also edible and medicinal.

    Thank you so much gardener Scott! Your tip on hidden cucumber was spot on! My plant is now 5 foot long with many small cucumbers, growing and more blooms coming, but plant the is starting to yellow. After watering your video yesterday, I just found a large overgrown cucumber fruit at the beginning of the plant hidden in grass! I picked it and hope the production will continue. Thanks! 🙏

    i learned a ton from your video; pinching out new branches, keeping lower branches and leaves off the ground, growing vertically, improving air circulation. I love cukes and didn't know that hidden maturing cukes would shut my plants down. This gives me hope that i will have a better crop this year. Thanks!

    Perfect timing. We had a downpour of rain today and the cukes got knocked down. Now I realize that the reason they fell is because of the over growth of the suckers. They are short enough still that it is fixable. Thanks Scott. Really appreciate all your info.

  • @juneshannon8074
    @juneshannon8074 2 года назад +17

    Thanks Scott for the first video I’ve seen that explains and shows, the benefits of pruning cucumbers. In the past I gave up pruning down low, as I was just guessing, and ended up with a lot of short growth flopping on the ground. Apart from the short growth looking sick and not producing much fruit, it’s far harder to pick the produce.

    Dear G.S, Peace and thank you for the videos. Just an update. I've got tons of aphid eggs (I think) on my cucs, but my cucumber season is coming to an end here. There are tons of tiny, black dots and the leaves are all dying, but that's normal for August. I only had enough for five pickling jars this year, but I did see a few different types of lady bugs towards the end of the season. My two good things this time are that my vanilla orchids, which I had on life support for almost a year, are much healthier and happier. My second is that I was able to start my first gallon of watermelon wine yesterday! I even made the yeast, and I used mostly things from my garden to make it. I also pickled some watermelon rind!
