This was excellent -- thank you so much! I recently found you and have been watching your videos as I need the information. You're thorough, down-to-earth, and relatable. : ) I really appreciate the zone 9b info as I get more serious about gardening. We Florida gardeners are in a whole different world!
Great video, great advice except for the very last part. DO NOT LET YOUR CUCUMBERS MATURE ON THE VINE! It will stop fruit production and the plant will yellow and die. Why? Because the purpose of the plant is to continue the species. A ripe cucumber on the vine signals the plant that the job is done and the plant dies. The only exception would be the case where you don't need the plant anymore and you want seeds.
I just want to thank you. I was LITERALLY just going to throw some store bought seeds in the ground and call it. Your vid has helped me see I need to do a wee bit more preparation😊
Hi Patrina I love your videos and have learned so much from you👩🏻🌾 I have a cucumber plant that I got 1 cucumber from. There’s no make flowers only female for weeks now. So I’m watching all cucumbers just die. I tried pollinating with other varieties of cucumbers but that didn’t work. Please HELP! Thank you🙏
That’s interesting. I suspect it might be your variety. Try giving it some liquid fertilizer that has some good potassium and phosphorus like Neptunes Harvest.
Lovely and informative cucumber video! My son loves cucumbers and eats them everyday. Unfortunately I have not be able to grow them because of the dreaded squash borer wasp. After 3 seasons of failed cuc attempts, I have given up. I've even tried panty hose and foil around the bottom of the stem where the wasp lays its eggs.
Absolutely. I have a few playlists by veggies where I did similar veggies that you might want to check out. Garlic, watermelon, broccoli, dry beans, brussel sprouts… I have plans to do a couple each season so I can show from planting to harvest.
Rewatching this again as I clearly have a bad memory and now i know why i only got 4 pickling cucumbers. I ripped all of them out today and was thinking about replanting but clearly it’s getting too hot here in 9b/10a. I did make some awesome pickles with them though. Great recipe on pintrest and so darn easy.
Hi! Here in Europe we use Milk for a lot of your Cucumber-Problems in small gardens. Mix it 1 part to 2 parts water and apply regularly either preventive or daily in case of infestation (while taking heavily affected leaves off, ofc). It works against mildew through the lactic acid, but also against aphids through the lecithin in the milk. Lecithin inhibits those insects from forming a new carapace so they simply die (i don´t know about pickleworms, them being a subtropical/tropical species). Also the milk-fat forms a thin coating on the leaves, stems and fruits lets the water roll off more easily and also discourages some other pests and bugs. In my experience the milk doesn´t spoil so there is no smell issue, there are two things to consider though: 1st: use real cows-milk, not some low-fat or vegan variety! the pasteurized kind with 3,5% or 3,6% fat you get at any supermarket or grocery-store will do just fine 2nd: if you try this use a "test-batch" of plants removed from the ALL others, since you being in a completely different climate-zone from me i can´t guarantee you won´t attract any other nasty surprises from your environment (i´m from Vienna, Austria pretty much dead-center of continental Europe...) For application i use a pump spray bottle just like you, only smaller with 1,5 liters (roughly 1/2 gallon) If you should give it a try i´d be glad to hear about the results you get (for better or worse) and if successful ofc feel free tell your friends, neighbors and audience! Greetings from Vienna! Philipp
Thanks for the tips. I have tried milk and water before but it didn’t seem to work for me for powdery mildew. I’ve heard other folks having good results with it but it didn’t seem to slow it down for me. Maybe something to do with our rains and humidity.
I would love to watch a video on soil health for new garden beds. Where did you start? Did you purposely grow certain veggies in your new beds to start the soil off? Or did you test your soil and add amendments as needed? How did you get to where you are now =)
Beit Alpha doesn`t need pollinating. I just got seeds to try indoors this winter. I tried Spacemaster last winter a grew a GIANT cucumberless KUDZU vine! LOL! I`m growing in a hydro bucket because it`s way way cheaper than potting soil. I`ve given up on potting soil because of the cost and horrible results. But my new outdoor garden here has poor shallow topsoil so my first year was peas and beans to begin building soil and I added grass clippings and chopped leaves. Now I have to go into the forest here when it`s cold to get wagons of dirt and leaf mold...not easy with a disability...but I have to keep moving or my health will collapse at my age. I have a collection of the little tabletop hydro growers too and just got two new 12 pod ones to grow the micro dwarf tomatoes, Pinocchio and a few other types. I have Watercress seedlings started too. We don`t have much in Louisiana stores so if I want the fancy stuff I have to grow it. Like Arugula...I`ve never heard of it so I grow that now too.
You can also grow one cucumber plant for seeds only. They say they will die if a cucumber matures but my first outdoor Spacemaster hid one from me under the grass that got huge and yellow and I harvested about 75 seeds from it and the plant came back from the dead after a few weeks and somehow survived from March until October and it caught every disease there is. I`m glad I have seeds from that one. All my others died very fast from diseases after producing about 8 cucumbers each. My Armenian cucumbers never produced but it was over 100 degrees each day from mid June until September. Maybe the desert cucumbers can`t take our humidity?
Love the content. I am curious how tall are your garden beds? And these were grown in those beds right? Do you only grow corn there or are you growing companion plants to help with bugs? How big are the beds or the area you're using? And how much of each fertilizer for the space as I feel fertilizer is a big issue for more of us also on when and how much to use. Keep growing. Thank you for this!
I have an upcoming video Q&A when I’m going to talk about a lot of these questions so keep an eye out. In the mean time. These beds are 8x4x1 and I grow all my annual veggies in them including the corn and lots of companions plants.
Any veggie that you plan on curing or storing for a long time like squash and pumpkin benefit from leaving a lot of stem on them to help them store longer but anything you plan on eating soon or preserving, it’s not really a factor.
This is my first time planting and I live in North East Florida. I started my cucumbers in February. I first wrapped them in a wet paper towels for about a week to germinate. Then I moved them to 4" cups and after a few weeks I moved them to 7" pots. After a few more weeks I just put them down in my raised garden beds. Currently I have a string hanging down that I wrap around each plants so that they grow straight up and have some support. I may need to move to something like a lattis, which I do have. Although I do not know how I would mount that in my 2' x 6' bed.
There are two ways I have found that work great for building some easy trellises for cucumbers. Get some 1 inch bamboo stakes or t-posts and hammer them into the ground. Then just get a roll of chicken wire or animal fencing and zip tie it to the posts. Works like a charm
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I already have T-Post on both ends and a PVC pipe connected to both ends using two elbows. I am going to upload some pics and send you the link.
Is there any reason not to use insect netting in Florida? My chosen cucumber variety doesn't need pollinators. This is first time using insect netting. Zone 9a North Central Florida
Also MIGARDENER seeds are very affordable and fresh with a very high germination rate! Not the case with some other huge seed sellers. I'm beginning to wonder if they don't package more because of the lower germination rate. It seems to be the case with some of these bigger companies.
Yes, mix 1 gallon water with 5-10 tbsps of hydrogen peroxide (wound care aisle at the store). Apply every week or two as plants grow and increase use if you see disease. I work my way up to 10 tbsps over a period of the plants life.
My Port Charlotte Florida cuke plants were so beautiful and productive and then suddenly they died. I pulled them out and lo and behold the roots were infested with root knot nematodes and the cukes were drilled with pickle worms -- double whammy.
OK, having rewatched this, now I am armed for powdery mildew, pickle worms, nematodes, etc. and give it another go for the fall. Here's to quick germination!
Hi. I'm new to Florida and can't wait to get growing. I just ordered my seeds from MIgardener. Great variety and prices. They were sold out of garlic bulbs for planting, though. Where do you get yours? Thanks, Molly
I normally get mine from GarlicGods but we have to vernalize our garlic down here (stick in fridge for 6-12 weeks) otherwise they probably won’t bulb. It’s basically how we trick it into thinking it went through winter.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a Thanks so much. I couldn't believe how quickly you replied. I'm an hour north of Tampa. We're getting close to a frost tonight and tomorrow. I'm going to try putting some in the ground soon and then refrigerate the others. Is softneck best for down here? Thanks, Molly
@mollygraham3531 haha, I was on YT watching some videos when you commented. I basically live on here. I’m also about an hour north of Tampa in Spring Hill. Soft neck is best. If you can get your hands on Inchelium red, those do really well. If your first round doesn’t bulb, you can still use them for garlic powder or frozen minced garlic in oil. I do both and love them that way.
@@HomegrownFloridaZ9a I'm on RUclips too much myself but there is always so much to know. Thanks for all your videos. I'm in Homosassa. I looked at garlicgods. They didn't have softneck available so I'm going to try a couple of hardneck varieties this year. If you have another source for softneck, please let me know. Thanks, Molly
Believe it or not that grocery store garlic is softneck. I can’t guarantee how they will do but it’s worth a shot. Just make sure to get organic ones because regular has sprout inhibitors sprayed on it.
@@indrekkpringiyou definitely can but you might have a good amount of loss due to bugs and pest. Anytime fruit lays on the ground, it is susceptible to this.
More than likely it’s from watering or nutrients. If the plant experiences drought it will taste more bitter. Also, if it’s not getting the nutrients it needs from fertilizer, it can cause this. Peeling them and cutting the ends off and allowing it to sit for 20mins can draw out some of that bitterness.
If you want to do a plant that is native to the US, sports pollinators, is beautiful, and feeds people, and considering it will be pampered, thrives on neglect... Jerusalem artichoke/sunchoke. Unfortunately it's planted via bulbs, you do have to do a little digging.
I just found your Channel and I have to tell you you're pronouncing two things incorrectly. You are writing correcting yourself when you said spin a sad instead of spina sad, I know the spelling is incorrect but I was trying to show you some ethically what it sounded like.

Black kow is what I normally go for if I need to buy it. Otherwise, I make my own with my compost tumbler
Would you happen to know what the shelf life is on Spinosad?

Sending you positive germination vibes!
where was the nematode info? Did I miss it? idk
You gotta pollinate them?
If you have a lack of pollinators in your garden, you can hand pollinate or introduce flowers to entice bees.
Best to leave cukes to over-ripen on the vine (for seeds) at the end of that plant's life or you'll risk it stopping growth of new fruit on it.
I heard that amaranth is a good trap crop for cucumber beetles.
I have horrible luck growing cucumbers. Zone 9b....always get powdery mildew and cucumbers worms, always!
That’s pretty common here. Your best bet is to start a weekly spinosad and hydrogen peroxide spraying schedule. That was a game changer for me

Should pickling cucumbers be allowed to grow on the ground or should they be staked?
It depends if they are bush or vining varieties. Bush can usually hold themselves up off the ground where vining needs to be trellised or staked

Why do my cucumbers get bitter? Even the little ones
More than likely it’s from watering or nutrients. If the plant experiences drought it will taste more bitter. Also, if it’s not getting the nutrients it needs from fertilizer, it can cause this. Peeling them and cutting the ends off and allowing it to sit for 20mins can draw out some of that bitterness.

Make seed bombs with the leftover seeds. It doesn't have to just be flowers. Toss seed bombs in empty spots and give the homeless population a garden.
