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!!

Best explanation for growing cucumbers I've seen. Thanks!

[Gkrissy]

I never knew about pinching off suckers in a cucumber plant. Thanks for the tips Gardener Scott. I have planted lots of cosmos and other flowers to bring in more pollinators.

[frankanselmo]

Been thinking about whether or not to prune the suckers. After watching this, I’m on my way out the door with pruners in hand. Nice video!

[uspiesb]

He covers in detail😊 all the aspects of careing for cukes :)

[bradymcphail]

You are a wonderful teacher. If you were my instructor in college I may have stuck around.

[BradfordHomestead]

Very helpful! This might be the first successful year for cucumbers in my garden. I’ve tried for 3 years; Third time’s the charm!

[LeverActionLarry]

I just want to say THANK YOU Gardener Scott! I love going back to these videos as a guide. I am planning on starting some cucumbers from seed today and I have a new bed with a similar setup as yours to eventually plant them in. Your vids are so informative and inspiring. CHEERS!

[loisjohnson]

Thank you for your help, I love growing my own vegetables, it’s my favorite hobby and the vegetables seem to taste more better than store bought ones, , haha, just fun going out to your own garden and finding some wonderful veggies!, the pruning is one thing I am just learning, and have been wondering how to do, , so thanks again ❤ North Carolina girl,

[ericapivko]

Fantastic, succinct, and informative video. Thank you, Gardener Scott!

[hmmm..]

I’m back for a refresher course. I had my best cucumber harvest last year after listening to your advice. This year, starting tomorrow, I’ll plant my succession cucumbers.

[PhuongHuynh-qmth]

This is the best video I’ve seen on YouTube for growing cucumbers. Thank you!

[velerialangbehn]

Best video I've seen on raising cucs. Been gardening over 50 years. This will help new gardeners learn how to raise cucs. Enjoyed. Thank you.

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.

I really enjoy meeting you in the garden, Mr Scott. Thank you for the channel.

[juneshannon]

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.

[b.bailey]

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!
