I just started planting this year digging holes for all my plants. 97 of them. Lot of holes to dig, but I did exactly what you're telling the viewers now that I wanted to constrict my resources to the plants and also I felt that it would give them more nutrient concentration and easier startup growth on planting them in the ground. They have done really well this way. I'm going to continue to do it every year like this. It saved me a lot of money. I used to buy four to five yards of amendments for the whole garden and then I realized I'm not using every square foot. I was just wasting my money keep up the good videos. We all can learn something from your channel. I've been gardening for probably 15 years and canning and making a lot of different things with the garden. It's a lot of work but it's a lot of reward
@joe
I do the hole method. Then I take my kitchen scrap bucket and dig between those transplants (if spaced at least 12" apart. Dig and dump compost and cover it breaks down while the roots of the plants are growing. The transplants then have additional food and so does your garden
It really works. Good luck. More videos to come.

I've done the same. I have a 26x40, a 10x20, and my own back yard full of food.....lol I just concentrate on the holes.. it gets expensive otherwise, and it costs enough already so while I wait on my compost piles to mature.....❤❤
Yes I also have just started doing the hole method. Save money - plants grow well- makes sense.👍
I was surprised how many cucumbers I got this year. I planted 6 different types. I'm about to plant my second round of cucumbers tomorrow.
These 3 plants are producing a lot. I might just do 3 plants a time for a family of 2.

Ive cut off secondary vines one time i had some with tomato suckers and dropped them in water. They grew roots. I didn't realize it until i saw blooms on the cucumber vine. I tried the cloning method with spaghetti squash and it worked too. I was surprised.
Cool. I will try it.

Well maybe I should've waited until this video came out before I asked about pickleworms lol. I'm at work right now but will watch after. After I sprayed 2 days ago i haven't seen anymore signs of the worms. Fingers crossed that I have saved my crop. Can't wait to see this video.
Man I hold on to my cucumbers way too long. I keep them even when they have yellow crumbly leaves and just a bit of new growth. The ones you say are beat up are like my better plants
I was thinking the exact same thing!😂
That one might be saved, but passed that they rarely recover. New plants work well.

I have one of your books and have learned so much from you . I will be doing cucumber maintenance this week. I am on my second round of zuchinni and yellow squash all from your teaching. I did learn that shade cloth is your friend in this heat.
Thanks for the book support. Agree about the shade cloth and good luck.

I'm trying an experiment this year. I have a 20 foot trellis row of King of the Garden limas that I started indoors and planted out in late May. I direct seeded my cucumbers (silver slicer) in the same row about 4 feet apart. in May (I'm in zone 6). I want to see if the strong scent of the limas will hide my cucumbers from the cucumber beetles. I'm glad I planted silver slicer because they are so much easier to see in the heavy foliage. I also want to see how well they last.
Great experiment. That is the best way to learn.

I just got into really into gardening literally may of this year, my first wave of cucumbers are absolutely trashed, a combo of brutal heat, a fungus problem, and 0 experence growing anything that climbs, everything else in my garden is perfectly fine except my cucumbers, they are fully doomed. I did get some harvest from them but the cucumbers are overly short and not at all long, still tasty i call them cu-minis. Hopefully with your tips i can grow better cucumbers in this 2nd wave
Yep wave 2 and 3. Good luck.

Thanks for video. Would ocean water (diluted) work in place of Epsom Salt? Thanks
No because it is NaCl or sodium chloride. Also known as table salt. Doing that will kill your plants. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate. The SALT means a classification of compounds. All SALTS are different.

Have an issue with earwigs on my cucumbers this year. Used neem oil with castile peppermint soap, many nights, because it keeps raining it off. They keep coming back. Used DE for the first time tonight. Finger's crossed, but man, I am over it. Any tips appreciated. PS the neem/peppermint was mixed to combat asiatic beatles on my raspberries and peach tree but pulled double duty on the earwigs because why not? I swear the earwigs appeared last year because I used wood mulch where they like to hide. I appreciate the videos, thanks.
Good luck. Maybe a spinosad dust.

Your cucumber plants are in my dreams - lol. What variety did you grow? I get 1 little bitty limply cuc for a lot of work. I even planted parthenocarpy types hoping for better yield, still 1 little bitty limply cuc is what I get on a plant.
Nope. I use it all the time for years and no bee issue. And btw, if you grow mints, the flowers are covered in bees.

Gary! I've been doing the baking soda/peroxide/dish soap mixture on my tomatoes since i saw the first few spots on the leaves and pruning the affected leaves like you said and they are not improving! Its been very wet, humid and hot here so im sure the weather is playing a part, but my tomato plants look like two foot long sticks with a few leaves at the top now! It just keeps spreading! What do you recommend?!? HELP!
I just pruned and sprayed them again yesterday and this morning there were at least two leaves on each plant covered in new spots ☹️😭
Judging by the way you water I can’t help but wonder if drip irrigation is enough. It does not saturate the top two inches of soil. Thoughts?
Drip irrigation would definitely be for the surface. Deep waterings are often missed and I found that, to be key for thriving plants.

The dust that you put on the leaves, do you wash it off in the morning, or is this something that is on 24/7? I understand not to put the dust by the flowers. thank you
I do both. If it on the outer leaves, I tend to leave it. I just am cautious of being close to flowers.

Do you think a drip irrigation is inadequate for cucumbers because it waters only at the base of the plant?
I do. But you could adjust the emitters for a deeper soaking. I am sure there are ways to manage it. Well maybe a timer that leaves the drip on longer.

Question. Their is a natural product called Wondercide that uses things like cedar oil and sesame oil as the main ingredients. The yard and garden one kills, repels, and prevents fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. It's still going to harm the good guys too , right? Thanks
Yeah. Oil combos work but any oil spray can coat insects and kill them. I am not sure how Wondercide works but at least if you contact good guys it can harm them. The rest might just be repelling and now harm is done.
Wonderful video. I read peppermint oil may deter bees. Do I need to worry about that?
It wont. BTW if you ever grew mints, you'd see the honey bees love the flowers. SO no worries.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN great!!
I planted Beit Alpha cukes for the first time. There's male flowers on there, although it supposedly doesn't require pollination from them. I see baby cukes forming, but they don't seem to be growing in size. Any idea why?
I planted 3 beit alphas at various times of the year. It's warm in Hawaii. At all times, the vines grew and flowered well. Lots of self-pollinated little cucumbers. But none of them grew past an inch. Never going to grow parthenocarpic ones again.
Spacemaster 80 is fine. Direct sown 5/22, harvested 1st one yesterday at 5". Now 74% humidity, 75°F

@heyyou4023 OK thanks. I just harvested 1 full size B.A. cuke. 2 more should be ready by next week. I think consistently watering them might be the ticket because I have stepped up the watering big time. Also, our temps are only mid 80s right now.

I smash them. But I try dust too.

My cucumber plants, second planting looked great until these little green worms making the new leaves look like lace. Captains Jacks to the rescue hopefully.
Grow bags: Great option for easy planting and growing and moving when necessary. I lined my grow bags with cardboard to help them retain moisture. Didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Next round I inserted and lined a plastic bag with cardboard then the dirt and plants. Those are retaining water MUCH better in this extreme heat. Poke a few small holes in the bag if you like.
From southern York county Pennsylvania.
I really like them for plopping them around the garden. Good tip with the plastic bag. I have done that in the past. Or I have put a cheap nursery pot in the center and it gets buried.

My plants were looking good, then they were wilting. I was watering, now they look dead
What am I doing wrong?
Did you see cucumber beetles? If you have bacterial wilt, the plant is now lost.
Years ago I learned from The words of a gardening mentor…”plant some more. “
To much water
One of those things. Replant. Thats all you can do.
