For cucumbers I recommend growing them on tomatoes cages. It allows you to train 2-3 pants in one container to grown around it in circles & the kicker is the more things they grab on to the more cucumbers they put out. The cages I recommend are the one your build your self with 3 - 4 metal stakes and the plastic clips that connect them into a triangle or square. In my experience I get 2-3 times the production per plant than I did stringing them up for years.

Inexperienced cucumber grower here! Had NO idea that letting just one cucumber ripe would essentially shut down the entire plant. Hence last year likely why I only got two cucumbers off the vine before it peaced out. Now I know better, my current cucumber vine is looking so healthy, and now I'm just waiting for it to get large enough and start flowering.

Merlin Merlin Merlin. I live in central very sandy Florida. I have not gotten a cake to produce in the four years I have been trying to grow. Years of amending and trying many varieties, I watched your video on cakes. You said that Merlin blew you away. I bought the seeds for them, planted in mid sept and today, Merlin has 4 flowers, every single one is a female, cuke producing one.. TY millennial . You are my number one utube gardener .

You really have some of the best gardening tips on YT! My cucumber plants gave me such small yields this year and this is so so helpful. Thank you!

I have allowed a patch of clover to grow in my yard. I now have consistant bee's. It has made a huge difference, and surprisingly the patch is a focal part of the yard and makes me feel better helping my bee population.

I am about an hour and half north of you. I took your advice from a previous videos and purchased some shade cloths. It is the 2nd week of having put one over the cucumbers and tomatoes and this week, with the heat coming and high UV, put one over the bell peppers that were looking a bit stressed. I am already seeing a big difference in lack of stress on the cucumber and tomato plants. Definite change and less water required. Thanks for the tip.

Started watching your channel about 3 years ago when I did an intensive gardening season. It was always one of my favorites. Coming back a few years later I'm so pleased to see how the channel has grown. You're deserving of a great big audience.

I just started growing cucumbers
last year. I watch a video and did the basics, never mentioned pulling them off before ripening, I lost that plant. Told me when you see the 2 yellow flowers pull the 1 flower off. All season (And I live in south western Pennsylvania so not a lot of season ) I might have gotten 6-8 cucumbers 🥒. I found you on you tube. I’m soooo grateful, you explain a lot now I understand better. This video I saved so I’m going to look up the type I have and go from there. I appreciate you so much.

Ordered parthenocarpic cucumber seeds last week and plan to implement all of these tips.
Shade cloth is so important here in Texas.
The hidden cucumber that gets too mature is so frustrating! I think that along with mostly male flowers was responsible for a failed early cucumber harvest.
I appreciate these tips!

I’m one of the many who watched your video and bought the Party Time seeds from Burpee’s. I started sharing them through my garden group and they’ve quickly became the favorite variety. I will definitely be saving the seeds for next growing season. Thank you!

I’m super Green ( hehe ) at growing veggies… i have done a lot of finding out what NOT to do just by trial and error… but i have to say finding your channel has been an HUGE help with figuring out this growing thing lol i don’t have enough land to plant things but i have started a bunch of containers with a few of the bush beans seeds and transferring them to a bigger container after they get big enough has been a huge help. Watching and re watching your vids is very educational for someone who had NO CLUE on what i was doing lol thank you!!

So grateful I found your channel! Been binge watching for weeks now..I’ve tried to grow cucumber 🥒 and zucchini in summer and my plants have always struggled ugh I barely got like 4 cucumber in about 3 plants in previous years :( now I know why, I’ve recently transplanted some in container 2.5 weeks ago and followed all your fertilizer recommendations and today I have some baby cucumber and zucchini flowering and the plants are luscious and thriving! Thank you so much ❤
