A message from the garden on cucumber care for mid-season maintenance. I get inspired while working and here are a few thoughts on cucumber pruning, pest management, and the varieties I'm growing this year.

Wish you posted more frequently, but I get that it's a lot of work. I enjoy your videos man.

Yes, I prune. I saw DANNY from Deep South., saying that you can prune your cucumbers. You can prune your squash and zucchini leaves so you can find them so the bees can find them.
Plus cucumbers seem to be hiding all the time Lol 🌱🌱🌱

Love your cucumber advice. Good advice for a lot of veg.
I am currently in Kyle (a south Austin transplant).
Happy Gardening and Thank You 💚

New subscriber here! I just pickled my first cucumbers! I love your channel!

Thank you. I've been wanting to prune off some lower leaves from my cucumber because it's getting hard to know where to put the watering wand.

I’m looking at Cucumber Shop website! Do you have a favorite cucumber/cucumber melon for pickling? I’m in Central Austin! Thanks for all the info you share!

I hear you about the aphids and I've been trying to take it easy on soaping them. I have a new menace this year: spider mites on the the tomatoes and beans. Do you use the same philosophy? Thanks in advance. BTW - love, love, love your channel. I've been doing great growing again this year in CenTex thanks to your advice.

Three weeks ago a cucumber vine started growing in my garden from nowhere (I have no idea where it came from). It was in my avocado tree planter box. I tried to relocate it to its own space and when i did that the whole vine shriveled up and is nearly dead with in an hour of moving it. Do you know why this could have happened?
