I had a cucumber plant that survived from March until October last year. It looked horrible and was covered in beetles, died back twice, but started growing again. It finally succeeded in hiding a huge cucumber under a clump of grass and made seeds. I saved some of them because it was so tough. I had just moved to this lot and was testing the soil by planting various seeds in odd places to see what would grow. I decided to plant my first fig tree in that spot. Armadillos showed me where to start my garden by digging for worms there. It was the only area with ANY topsoil. The rest of the yard is red dirt and huge chunks of gravel. So I`ve been hauling in forest soil and dumping it where the only topsoil was. But now I have a SEVERE armadillo problem because my garden is an earthworm habitat.

Listening to you while I walk the streets of Hanoi, I’m getting excited about my garden in Alberta this spring.

[Steph_in_the_Garden]

Well, that explains my cucumber beetle infestation last summer! All previous years, I grew burpless. Thank you so much for the video! You content is so appreciated!

[DennisDerrick]

Been growing cucumbers in central Indiana for years. Last year was the first time I've had my crop wiped out by cucumber beetles. These were the same cucumbers I've planted for years. This year I hope I have better luck.

[jeannamcgregor]

Last year the squirrels ate every single cucumber when they were very small. EVERY ONE. So this year I've got Beit Alphas planted inside a big netted cage. That'll show the little monsters. 💚

Busy in yard working, I'll watch this later. I see cucumber beetles constantly with my giant pumpkins.

[teenagardner]

I was gifted many vegetable seeds for Christmas of varieties I've not tried. Too funny just now, you're talking cucumbers. I ran to check my varieties, and I have a couple you mentioned. Whoohoo! Can't wait to try them this year and thank my neighbor again. Ah, Dale, who can scold that handsome cute face? He does need to mind his manners, though. He doesn't need a bad reputation ❤

[Warrior-In-the-Garden]

Good advice. Something to keep in mind as cucumber beetles also love peppers, squash and melons. I had victory last year with covering using old sheers until flowering then spraying with mint solution. Also constant and early surveillance and collection from my lemonbalm which is where they show up 1st. If using nasturtium please know it is a trap crop not a repellent. I was so sad to find my nasturtium covered with them.

I’ve grown Diamont for years. Great producer and very few cucumber beetles (Northwest Ohio)

10:23 SO thankful for this info, I just ordered the beit alfa, suyo long and china jade. Have had a terrible time with cucumber beetles. Will definitely cover as well.

[tankscape]

5:02 please tell me where to source Godzilla seeds thanks. But also thanks to one of your older videos, I'm growing parthenocarpic cucumber this year! Looking forward to fruiting season!

[Sparklfoot]

What a great detail, and I never would have known except for YOU! Thanks so much.

[nikkistump]

Best gardening videos ever! Thank you ☺️

[lauriethompson]

Thank you for sharing the seed packets ... thats very helpful. Love your ideas and garden.

[jamescollinscares]

Thank you for these great tips and tricks ❤❤❤and the pickling variety

[Christopher-xdin]

I'm attempting muncher variety. I believe alpha beit so grows female flowers and is burpless. I watched an older video about the alpha beit varieties.

[GloriaJTddd]

Thanks for all your videos. I've only seen a couple so far, but its quite obvious that you know the topics very well! Thx for some eye opener.

[viviankirkwood]

I love how you share your knowledge with us! I was wondering why your tunnels aren't covered at the ends. Or aren't they for bug protection? 😊

[terridunning]

The "burpless" pickling cucumber looks interesting. I will be following your adventures with that one. If it lives up to billing I will definitely try it!
