Just the video I needed. I have yellow spots on my cucumber leaves and thought they needed to be pruned and cut the leaves off but now I see more spots on the leaves. I now know I need Neem oil that I have already for my tomato plants. Thank you so much. Should I spray every night? I'm in Zone 8.
Thanks for the comment. Spray twice a week for now. Remember once you mix your Neem it's only good far about 24 hours then you need to make a new batch.
New to your channel. Greetings from Delaware. Thank you so much for thoroughly explaining the different causes & giving the solution to each of them. This is my first time growing cucumbers. I only did one plant because I don't eat them. Just growing for a family member & friend & don't know what I'm doing. I'm still a novice at gardening. I'm starting to see yellowing & will do what you recommended.
Thanks so much for this! I just found your channel, please keep going! Great information. Are you in Florida? You are the first RUclipsr I've watched who has addressed the dreaded pickle worm (my nemesis!) I am new to FL (1 year) and new to pickle worms. This spring I tried growing a Suyo cucumber (parthenocarpic) variety inside my screened lanai. It did ok, I did find the dreaded moth once however. How it got there, I don't know! I am trying to be diligent with the BT, it seems to be the only solution. Most of my crops aren't producing during the hot summer. Would you do a video explaining how you built your raised beds? They are amazing!
Thumbs up! My issue is the cucumber beetle. They done ate all my leaves. And I hear that they mate like crazy and leave their eggs in the soil next to the stem.
Thanks for watching. Next season try delay planting by 2-3 weeks to avoid their peak feeding time.That's usually when the air temps hit 50 degrees or more. Try using varieties like "little leaf" and burpless. Small pieces of tin foil at the base of the seedling deter them feeding at the base. Also yellow sticky traps made with yellow solo cups and tanglefoot spray attracts the mature beetles. Hop-e this helps.
Past 2 yrs now, trying to grow cucumbers in my garden area. Both yrs they grew beautifully, green leaves with many blossoms and they dried up and died. thought it was the soil. This yr planted bush cucumber plants in 18" pots with potting soil (no dirt was added from the garden) on my back deck, Again beautiful plants with healthy leaves and blossoms...and again they all wilted and died...I am lost, you input greatly appreciated...
Love to help. As much info as you can. 1- What area in the world do you live. 2-What potting soil did you use 3- Any supplemental fertilizer? 4- Do you see any beetles or bugs. 5- Dou you happen to have pictures? If you do send them to me at Bellesbackyardgarden@gmail.com 6- Let me know what kind of seeds (brand) you used I'll do some checking and let you know what I think. Have a great day!

what do pickle worms look like? I have never heard of them before. I don't blame your wife for the Jazmin that stuff smells amazing to me. I Subscribed I like how you talk in plain English about the content of your subject, also responding to your viewers most don't do that!
It works well with Broccoli and Cauliflower. Spray in the morning to avoid burning the tender leaves. Make sure you use a Neem oil that is not an extract. It needs to have the active ingredient Azadirachtin. Most garden centers carry it. I use the concentrate and mix it myself.
I use a concentrated version from Neemorganics. mix 5 ml per liter of water. I apply in the evening to avoid any burning of the leaves in the Florida sun. Good luck!
Thank u for a information but mine is whole plant of cucumber is turning yellow in in UK nd its too hot now so we need to water every day plz let me know
Hey! Use epsom salt it has what the plant needs. Common salt is the wrong chemical and can harm the plant. Use 15ml per 2 liters of water for your application. Check a couple of other things as well. 1- they require a good 6 hours of sun or more. 2- they also require 3-5 cm of rain/water a week. Too much or too little can cause the yellowing also. Let me know how it goes.
Cucumbers become bitter when the plant goes under some form of stress. Usually water or excessive heat. A chemical called Cucurbitacin that is in the plant leaves leaches into the cuke. There is not much you can do to remove it once the fruit has formed. Peel it down as much as you can.
Hey Anthony. Thanks for the honest comment. Sometimes we forget their are those that are just starting and want to get into gardening and we have a tendency to talk over import basic info. If you tell me what area you are in and what you would like to grow I'll do a video series for you if I can. Also a little background on you (how long you've been trying to grow, and what you have tried in the past, ect). Even a few second video of your garden area if you would like me to include it. Again thanks for the comment.
BT is an organic pesticide that absorbs into the leaves of your plants. It only kills by the caterpillar/larvae ingesting it and disrupting their ability to feed. It doesn't affect any beneficial insects. You can find it at your local garden center or amazon. Make sure you use what you mix in about 8-12 hours as it will break down rather quickly. On Amazon copy this to the search: Organic Bacillus Thuringiensis I use the BT from Monterey. Hope this helps!
Any type. I use distilled white. 1 cup per gallon. This is for a quick fix drop. If you want a longer lasting effect look at using sulfur to lower the ph before a new planting season.
Neem applied in a foliar spray will dissipate in approximately 45 minutes. It has a slight chance of toxicity to bees if it is ingested during that time. If you want to limit the chances even more spray early morning or evening when they are not out. Thanks for the reminder. I'll put it out on some of my next videos.
Hey Denise! Thanks for the comment. I’d like to look into this a little more. What are your thoughts on this. What zone are you in? I haven’t looked into water temps immediate impact on plant root systems. Sounds interesting.
@@bellesbackyard3264 I am in zone 6B Washington state. I’ve worked in the nursery business over forty years. Cucumber water temperature when watering is 80 to 90 degrees. It seems hot but a low hot water tank in the home only safety goes to 120 degrees. It helps to fill buckets the night before and put in a sunny spot or hook something up to a hot water tank. If cucumber isn’t watered with warm water it makes the leaves turn yellow and the fruit to curl. Look up how to water cucumber plants the right way there is a guy I believe AG site that specializes this method of watering. Thank you
My leaves were yellowing and I found out, thrips were invading my plant, I wasn't able to beat it and had to destroy my plant. These are the worst, i tried, soap and neem... cinnamon, peppermint oil... doesn't work :( .... and now earwigs are invading my new plant
For the earwigs. Take a small jar with a plastic lid. Cut a hole int the top. Fill it with a little olive oil add a touch of bacon grease of Soy sauce. Then bury it flush with the ground. You'll be surprised how well it works. I don't have the issue in my current garden. If you do this shoot, a couple of videos a few seconds long and Email it to Bellesbackyardgarden@gmail.com. I'll include it in a video and give you credit. Hope this works for you.

great. just 1 query, isnt common salt NaCl and not CaCl?
Yes. You are correct. I miss spoke.
Tnx for this info! Should we remove the damaged leaves?
If they are severely damaged or have signs of disease yes. If it is an overall yellowing wait and see if they come back.

How long does the jasmine stay in bloom?
About 2 months.
Cabbage butterfly. They are white butterflies that lay millions of eggs all over your garden. Also flys are a problem
What causes bitterness on cucumber skin? I like skin on fruit
I have to peal cucumber to use it. I was told to wash fruit with salt. No good.
Cucumbers become bitter when the plant goes under some form of stress. Usually water or excessive heat. A chemical called Cucurbitacin that is in the plant leaves leaches into the cuke. There is not much you can do to remove it once the fruit has formed. Peel it down as much as you can.

What is BT....? And where can It buy it..in Georgia Usa..?
BT is an organic pesticide that absorbs into the leaves of your plants. It only kills by the caterpillar/larvae ingesting it and disrupting their ability to feed. It doesn't affect any beneficial insects. You can find it at your local garden center or amazon.
Make sure you use what you mix in about 8-12 hours as it will break down rather quickly.

I use the BT from Monterey.
Hope this helps!
Greetings,
What type of vinegar? Cheers 🍷
Any type. I use distilled white. 1 cup per gallon. This is for a quick fix drop. If you want a longer lasting effect look at using sulfur to lower the ph before a new planting season.
Inject BT into the stems . Neem doesn’t work for me
Just a suggestion...move or get rid of the Jasmine plant.
It's been there for 20 years. Ithink my wife would divorce me haha.
Hell no!
Wont it kill the bees digestion e system
