Growing Cucumbers From Sowing to Harvest

Crunchy cucumbers, fresh from the garden are in a league of their own. There’s nothing as cool as a homegrown cucumber!

Cucumbers grown in the greenhouse require slightly different care from those grown outdoors.

In this short video we show you how to grow both outdoor and greenhouse varieties, and share our nifty idea for making a fantastic cucumber frame to grow them up for easy picking.

If you love growing your own food, why not take a look at our online Garden Planner or Garden Journal which are available from several major websites and seed suppliers:

I enjoy your 'rapid fire' style of putting out a LOT of info in a succinct manner in a very short time. Too many hosts take forever to get to the point. You can say twice as much in less than 5 minutes as others can manage in 20. Well done

You remind me of my deceased brother, who knew so much about gardening. You’re my new go to for information.

Honestly, you're the best source of gardening know how all in one place.

I've seen a lot of gardening vids and he answers all the questions that I had on all the prior videos I watched. I really appreciate it when people take the time to explain WHY you should do something. To me it is really important.

Could you make a more detailed video showing us how to prune them please. Thank you so much

They are full of water and keep you alive, that's all the reason I need! Had success last year so I got 2 varieties for this spring. Cheers from Florida!

Hi Benedict - just to say the same as @Singleman below and lots of other viewers have said, really enjoy how you manage to squeeze so much info into a short time, no time wasting and beautifully filmed too. Thanks a lot for sharing! 😀

I didn't know that bit about pinching of growing vines to encourage fruit production. My four plants from last year were allowed to grow as they wanted and each one only produced one fruit each!

[haroldinho]

I am amazed at how informative this is, and how calming your voice is, subbed on the first video!

[vanesanchezk]

I love your energy! Your videos are great because they go straight to the point, beautiful veggies, an instant fan!

[only-vans]

We have such different growing techniques yet reach the very same results.
I'll keep on watching and liking your videos.

In Southern Oregon(USA), here. My lemon cucumbers go wild without much help. This year I am trying cucamelons and armenian cucumbers. Thank you for your advice, and wish me luck!

We had the spiky cucumbers and had trouble getting some out! They were so spiky and we couldn't avoid getting spiked but the taste was worth it! This quick tutorial is just what I needed to start again fresh this year!

I love the German-style cucumber salad with sour cream and dill. One of my favorite recipes.

[LibbyRoseEmbroidery]

Thank you so much for these wonderfully informative videos! You pack so much into a short presentation. I feel much more confident in my first year growing thanks to your help. :)

5/14 and still having a hard time getting any growth. Its a cooler then normal year. Weather starting to look good again with night time lows around 55. on the bright side my blueberrys and strawberry and blueberry's are coming along fine. My peppers and cucumbers not so much yet.. But its gonna be soon when the weather is right. Need just a touch warmer.

I love your idea for growing lettuce. I don't even like cucumbers but I like your videos so I watch this one and still got a tip.

[hardnackfarms]

Thank you! I love the comment on how fast and efficient you say how to! I hope you have a blessed day! Wendy❤️🌸🌺🌷🐞

Another excellent video, thank you. I could never grow cucumbers until I found Japanese cukes. They practically grow themselves, and they grow big. Last simmer I had so many I had to freeze them (to be used in fruit and veg smoothies) they add a sweet touch of simmer all winter long.
