Mine thrived last year and this year until the beginning of July. Starting new plants. Next year I will start the new cucumber plants earlier. 8a here and coastal North Carolina.
Saw your video about pouring beer at the base of cucumber plants - it works I have been doing that for years but I pass the beer through my kidneys first. It is called the Canadian way to grow cucumbers.
Oh no I cant take credit for that as I havent done it. Sounds interesting.

Great video…I heard mention of pruning suckers on another channel and I had a hard time figuring out where they were. This is my first year pruning cucumbers and it really makes so much sense. Thanks
They are really suckers as they turn into flower producing vines. So keep as many as you can in my opinion but prune to manage size.

Our pickling cukes are doing the same in zone 7! We have TONS of bees on those plants, so I highly doubt it’s a fertilization issue like google claims, but weirdly one plant has way more deformed cucumbers than the other 3. I was wondering if that was a sign that the plant is reaching the end of its useful life cycle.
@@olgas2332 interesting! Im not sure what zone im in I live in northwestern Pennsylvania (right on the border of Pennsylvania and ohio) maybe zone 6.. Gary is amazing, I cant say that enough. Are you using the trifecta plus as side. Dressing or suggest something different? Weathers been terribly hot and dry lately.
@@simpinainteasyRHEC we’re by Gary, and it has been super hot and humid, so the fungal diseases on the tomatoes and peppers are going nuts, sigh. I do as Gary says and use Espoma for side dressing every couple of months and a liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so (Texas Tomato Food, it’s magic). I also think I’m going to try shade cloth on the cucumbers next year once temps hit 90+. This is our first year gardening at a local community garden - unfortunately we didn’t find Gary right away so made some mistakes early on, but hopefully next season will be better.
@@olgas2332 awe, that's awesome though! Last year was my first year, then we took a leap of faith and scaled out to a 100ft×100ft (including paths to pick and care for) on a friends "farm" (not so much a farm anymore, but 🤷♀️) and after me and my husband turned our backyard into our first ever garden last summer successfully he was ready for a challenge. This is our 2nd year, so far so good, but im sure luck and wonderful guidance & knowledge has been a major part of our success. Praying for a good harvest, but to be honest, just feeling secure when it come to feeding my family, well, that's priceless. I wish you much success in your space too, lord knows its gonna be challenging.
Great video as usual! You must have hands as tough as a bulls a$$😂. If I played like that with my squash or cucs I'd have rash,red marks and scratches all over ! And I have pretty tough hands from 30 years of playing the guitar! This is exactly the video I needed this week. Thanks again for the best gardening videos on YT!
Hi Gary, thank you for sharing this video, very thorough and informative as always. Question: How can your customers know when something is back on stock from your stores? TIA for always responding 🙏🍀💕

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN super cool, maybe do a few shorts, even if quality is jumpy "hey guys, just grabbing a few things for the fam" 😄 I think it is very motivational to not give up and keep on growing 😊😁 and would love to see how much is sufficient and how much can be picked up. I don't have a gorgeous garden, but I grow everything parthenocarpic and greens and self-polinating inside and on screened balcony. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS! 🥰

Thanks for showing the simple task of watering with fertilizer. It's helpful. For some strange reason I seem to think that I need to give the entire 1 gallon of fertilizer water to my big barrel pot that holds my cucumber plants. Not so!

Ironically, I just cut back a lot of suckers and bad leaves on mine. They are really healthy, but I have so much growth, the pollinators could not see the flowers. And it was overtaking my raised bed. Hopefully, I will get a better fruit set now.

Great video, very informative even for an old gardener like me. I still learn new things to put into practice. One question, if a cucumber is large in the center but curved and pointed at the blossom end , will it get bigger or should I just pick it? Thanks for sharing your gardening tips with us. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Just pick. Usually due to pollination and sometimes temps.

The yellow/ black cucumber pests aren't too bad this year, but I noticed that when they've taken up residence in a flowering bud, the bees will skip over that bud.

I converted to all raised beds in the back yard or main garden and I didn't leave a good place to put the cucumbers in lol. I ended up planting them in between 2 rows of determinate tomatoes and they've been almost hidden from the sunlight. One cucumber plant at the West end of the bed is doing fine the other ones are hidden away. I was feeling rushed and way behind due to construction of the new raised beds and didn't really plan out the garden this year I kinda just did it on a wing and a prayer lol.

Depends on where you live etc. Science tells us it's better to heavy water once per week and do natural wetting and drying cycles. If you're mulched etc, that should be sufficient. That being said you can always go out and look at the plants and grab a handful of soil and see of it actually needs it. You're garden will tell you.
Most outdoor plants dont mind watering daily but every other day, a good soak makes a difference. Plants survive with a watering 1x a week. They thrive with more waterings weekly. It just varies based on your soil, mulching, rainfall, etc. So its hard to say exactly.

Depends, I’m in the 100+ for 3 weeks now and mine seem to not produce any flower if not watered everyday. My plant is also getting attacked by aphids so I’ve been water spraying em off. So far I’ve been only focusing on my cucumber and anything in pots. My basil’s in the bed seems fine without extra water. In the 90’s you could get away with 1 time a week, just test your soil with your finger if it’s dry or not.
I learned alot from today's video. Thank you! I see you have some pretty big cucumbers in the video. My question for you is: after you fertilize your plants, how long do you have to wait before harvesting those cucumbers?

Gary I love your videos! I'm growing Cucumbers at the moment but I've noticed that I have spidermites on them. What do I do to get rod of them? Years ago the killed 2 rosemary plants. It was then that I gave up gardening until now....
I use peppermint oil spray on them. It works well. I sell it. But where every you buy it, you want the essential oil, not extract.

Why use the fish emulsion at this point? I thought you said earlier that it should be used before fruiting to establish the leaf growth? (You were discussing peppers.)Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!
So we have over simplified, Nitrogen now, P and K later but dont really discuss how much to use when and how well the soil was prepared or how big the plants are and plant type. Peppers seem to benefit most IMO with P and K at mid growth. More nitrogen for them should be low at that point. For heavy feeders like squash, cukes and pumpkins, I tend to include nitrogen as they still need leaves and vine growth. I wish I could simplify it.

I have straw mulch down. I did a finger test and the soil is still decently moist. Should I still water with these 90+ days? It was 92 today where I am. It rained hard on Monday but I haven’t watered since then.

Will Agrothrive slow down a plant's production once it's bearing fruit (cucumber, pepper, etc.) Since it's mostly providing nitrogen? I'm wondering if I should continue adding it to my Greenstalk (peppers mostly) and the cucumbers, like you're doing. Thanks!
Agrothrive is less N than fish emulsion but its not the presence of N, its how much you keep putting in week after week. Just dont over do it.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN that's very interesting.... I've never heard the statement "it's how much you put in week after week. Just don't overdo it." I figured any fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content wasn't going to advocate for the flower at this point of its fruiting season. It does make sense if I repeatedly give my plant a higher nitrogen fertilizer, but I just figured any higher nitrogen content fertilizer was a No-No at this point of the season. No? Thanks, Gary.

Water soluble is used immediately. The top dressing has to break down and move time and it slowly gives back over the weeks. But you do not have to use both.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you, I absolutely will test spray, i’ve watched several of your hydrogen peroxide videos they are very informative. I’ve been keeping a journal because I can’t remember everything I need to do during a busy gardening season lol. Would you say the hydrogen peroxide spray can work on any type of leaf spot ? I have leaf spot issues every season on annuals and Perennials.
Hi Gary, after watching this video I have no more confusion about pruning my cucumber plant. Have you try out Neptune harvest hydrolysed 2-3-1 fish and seeweed fertilizer? Has good reviews but want check with you. Pl advice. Thanks.

Not Really as it is based on how much you pour in and what exists in the soil, stage of growth. I would not use Miracle Gro with a 24 nitrogen or blood meal with 12 Nitrogen. But when you have number below a 5-5-5, it is really hard to mess up things and over do it at any stage.

@@denisebayer8748 I am talking about out at the very end. With tomatoes you never want to do this (indeterminate) as this will stop all future growth up the one main lead (and we often prune the suckers as they will pull from the main vine, though I usually leave 2-3 suckers for extra growth, then prune the rest and either regrow them by potting or put them in the compost). With cucumbers, the main vine will produce gobs of male flowers, very very few females, but the side growth suckers have a higher percentage of female. Clip the far end on the main lead and the only future growth will be the suckers. I do not have hard data on this, but can see my own main lead have zero females, tons of males with bees on them, but only the suckers with female. Recently clipped the far end of the main lead after it had grown out 20ft plus some, and I had been clipping the suckers based on video recommendations, but some suckers still existed on various plants that have produced fruit. No more sucker pruning for me. So I literally just did this two weeks ago, so not enough data. I would recommend not pruning suckers, until you can see for yourself if you have more females on yours, then decide if you want to end the main branch growth. Best of luck. Please let me know if you do this on a plant or two and what your results are.
Ive never done that. If it is that bad, I would probably start new plants.

Mine thrived last year and this year until the beginning of July. Starting new plants. Next year I will start the new cucumber plants earlier. 8a here and coastal North Carolina.
Saw your video about pouring beer at the base of cucumber plants - it works I have been doing that for years but I pass the beer through my kidneys first. It is called the Canadian way to grow cucumbers.
Oh no I cant take credit for that as I havent done it. Sounds interesting.

Seriously? Is it the yeast in the beer?
I didn't know to trim cucumber plants like that! Thanks Gary!
It works.
Definitely going to plant some cucumbers. Thanks for the tips from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦
Great video…I heard mention of pruning suckers on another channel and I had a hard time figuring out where they were. This is my first year pruning cucumbers and it really makes so much sense. Thanks
They are really suckers as they turn into flower producing vines. So keep as many as you can in my opinion but prune to manage size.

I was really doing it wrong. I was trying to make sure there was a leaf for every flower. Air flow pruning will now be my best friend.
Good luck

All the best. Be patient. It can be very rewarding and a great opportunity to learn something beneficial.
My cucumbers have been bad this year, think it’s mosaic virus again, got some new seedlings, see how it goes
I use peppermint oil and that seems to help. Ive also been using h202. However if its the virus that is hard to treat. If it is fungal those sprays help.

My hero! 🙂 I assumed this was old but clicked it anyway.
My boston pickling cucumbers are all growing deformed, big at the stem and small at the tip.
They are stressed with heat and all that. I plant in waves so young plants grow through it.

Our pickling cukes are doing the same in zone 7! We have TONS of bees on those plants, so I highly doubt it’s a fertilization issue like google claims, but weirdly one plant has way more deformed cucumbers than the other 3. I was wondering if that was a sign that the plant is reaching the end of its useful life cycle.
@@olgas2332 interesting! Im not sure what zone im in I live in northwestern Pennsylvania (right on the border of Pennsylvania and ohio) maybe zone 6.. Gary is amazing, I cant say that enough. Are you using the trifecta plus as side. Dressing or suggest something different? Weathers been terribly hot and dry lately.
@@simpinainteasyRHEC we’re by Gary, and it has been super hot and humid, so the fungal diseases on the tomatoes and peppers are going nuts, sigh. I do as Gary says and use Espoma for side dressing every couple of months and a liquid fertilizer every 10 days or so (Texas Tomato Food, it’s magic). I also think I’m going to try shade cloth on the cucumbers next year once temps hit 90+.
This is our first year gardening at a local community garden - unfortunately we didn’t find Gary right away so made some mistakes early on, but hopefully next season will be better.
@@olgas2332 awe, that's awesome though! Last year was my first year, then we took a leap of faith and scaled out to a 100ft×100ft (including paths to pick and care for) on a friends "farm" (not so much a farm anymore, but 🤷♀️) and after me and my husband turned our backyard into our first ever garden last summer successfully he was ready for a challenge. This is our 2nd year, so far so good, but im sure luck and wonderful guidance & knowledge has been a major part of our success. Praying for a good harvest, but to be honest, just feeling secure when it come to feeding my family, well, that's priceless. I wish you much success in your space too, lord knows its gonna be challenging.
Great video as usual! You must have hands as tough as a bulls a$$😂. If I played like that with my squash or cucs I'd have rash,red marks and scratches all over ! And I have pretty tough hands from 30 years of playing the guitar!
This is exactly the video I needed this week. Thanks again for the best gardening videos on YT!
Hi Gary, thank you for sharing this video, very thorough and informative as always.
Question: How can your customers know when something is back on stock from your stores? TIA for always responding 🙏🍀💕
It is so hard because so much is out of stock from were we get it. We actually just dont know when stuff will be in. Sorry.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN super cool, maybe do a few shorts, even if quality is jumpy "hey guys, just grabbing a few things for the fam" 😄 I think it is very motivational to not give up and keep on growing 😊😁 and would love to see how much is sufficient and how much can be picked up. I don't have a gorgeous garden, but I grow everything parthenocarpic and greens and self-polinating inside and on screened balcony. THANK YOU FOR ALL THE VIDEOS! 🥰

Thanks for showing the simple task of watering with fertilizer. It's helpful. For some strange reason I seem to think that I need to give the entire 1 gallon of fertilizer water to my big barrel pot that holds my cucumber plants. Not so!
Nope. Slow and steady smaller feeds, I find to be the best.

Ironically, I just cut back a lot of suckers and bad leaves on mine. They are really healthy, but I have so much growth, the pollinators could not see the flowers. And it was overtaking my raised bed.
Hopefully, I will get a better fruit set now.
That has to be done sometimes

Great video, very informative even for an old gardener like me. I still learn new things to put into practice. One question, if a cucumber is large in the center but curved and pointed at the blossom end , will it get bigger or should I just pick it? Thanks for sharing your gardening tips with us. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Just pick. Usually due to pollination and sometimes temps.

The yellow/ black cucumber pests aren't too bad this year, but I noticed that when they've taken up residence in a flowering bud, the bees will skip over that bud.

Pruning, agrothriving every 7 days but those darn cucumber beetles are taking over! I feel like every yellow flower has 2 beetles inside. Hopefully strengthening the plant will help fend off the bugs
I use insect dust. On late eve, wash off early AM

I converted to all raised beds in the back yard or main garden and I didn't leave a good place to put the cucumbers in lol. I ended up planting them in between 2 rows of determinate tomatoes and they've been almost hidden from the sunlight. One cucumber plant at the West end of the bed is doing fine the other ones are hidden away. I was feeling rushed and way behind due to construction of the new raised beds and didn't really plan out the garden this year I kinda just did it on a wing and a prayer lol.
Hey you got planted. Good luck.

With temps in the high 90’s would you suggest to water everyday?
Depends on where you live etc. Science tells us it's better to heavy water once per week and do natural wetting and drying cycles. If you're mulched etc, that should be sufficient. That being said you can always go out and look at the plants and grab a handful of soil and see of it actually needs it. You're garden will tell you.
Most outdoor plants dont mind watering daily but every other day, a good soak makes a difference. Plants survive with a watering 1x a week. They thrive with more waterings weekly. It just varies based on your soil, mulching, rainfall, etc. So its hard to say exactly.

Depends, I’m in the 100+ for 3 weeks now and mine seem to not produce any flower if not watered everyday. My plant is also getting attacked by aphids so I’ve been water spraying em off.
So far I’ve been only focusing on my cucumber and anything in pots. My basil’s in the bed seems fine without extra water.
In the 90’s you could get away with 1 time a week, just test your soil with your finger if it’s dry or not.
I learned alot from today's video. Thank you!
I see you have some pretty big cucumbers in the video. My question for you is: after you fertilize your plants, how long do you have to wait before harvesting those cucumbers?
You can take them that day. No worries.

Gary I love your videos! I'm growing Cucumbers at the moment but I've noticed that I have spidermites on them. What do I do to get rod of them? Years ago the killed 2 rosemary plants. It was then that I gave up gardening until now....
I use peppermint oil spray on them. It works well. I sell it. But where every you buy it, you want the essential oil, not extract.

Why use the fish emulsion at this point? I thought you said earlier that it should be used before fruiting to establish the leaf growth? (You were discussing peppers.)Thank you for your wonderful videos!!!
So we have over simplified, Nitrogen now, P and K later but dont really discuss how much to use when and how well the soil was prepared or how big the plants are and plant type. Peppers seem to benefit most IMO with P and K at mid growth. More nitrogen for them should be low at that point. For heavy feeders like squash, cukes and pumpkins, I tend to include nitrogen as they still need leaves and vine growth. I wish I could simplify it.

I have straw mulch down. I did a finger test and the soil is still decently moist. Should I still water with these 90+ days? It was 92 today where I am. It rained hard on Monday but I haven’t watered since then.
Not every day but I keep these watered several times a week.

Will Agrothrive slow down a plant's production once it's bearing fruit (cucumber, pepper, etc.) Since it's mostly providing nitrogen? I'm wondering if I should continue adding it to my Greenstalk (peppers mostly) and the cucumbers, like you're doing. Thanks!
Agrothrive is less N than fish emulsion but its not the presence of N, its how much you keep putting in week after week. Just dont over do it.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN that's very interesting.... I've never heard the statement "it's how much you put in week after week. Just don't overdo it." I figured any fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content wasn't going to advocate for the flower at this point of its fruiting season. It does make sense if I repeatedly give my plant a higher nitrogen fertilizer, but I just figured any higher nitrogen content fertilizer was a No-No at this point of the season. No? Thanks, Gary.
Why does my English type and Lemon cukes seem more productive when not trellised and growing on the ground?
They often root put at stem contact points and you get stronger plants. More water and nutrients going in

I would appreciate your advice. My cucumber plants (3) are not blooming. The plants are about 3 feet tall. What can be done for the plants to have flowers?
Thank you.
Nothing really. Nature will figure it out. But people try using More P and K to get them to flower more. I have it linked in my AMAZON SHOP under fertilizers. Its called MoreBloom a 0-10-10 water soluble.

Great video Gary, do you plant Cukes, tomatoes etc in the same beds every year? I thought I heard to not plant brassicas in same place two years in a row, does that apply to anything else?
I dont follow that actually. In a small garden, there isn't much benefit. Verses farming where it makes more sense.

Is it necessary to both top dress and use the water soluble fertilizer? Why use both? Thanks
Water soluble is used immediately. The top dressing has to break down and move time and it slowly gives back over the weeks. But you do not have to use both.

Growing burpless hybrid cucumbers in a bucket - will the same fertilizer work? My leaves are very light green.
Yep same stuff and water soluble is perfect for containers

Gary, I’m having rust or fungal spots on Pole beans, would you recommend a copper fungicide spray, Neem oil, H202, or some other spray?
So copper or h202. Always test spray.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN thank you, I absolutely will test spray, i’ve watched several of your hydrogen peroxide videos they are very informative. I’ve been keeping a journal because I can’t remember everything I need to do during a busy gardening season lol. Would you say the hydrogen peroxide spray can work on any type of leaf spot ? I have leaf spot issues every season on annuals and Perennials.
Hi Gary, after watching this video I have no more confusion about pruning my cucumber plant. Have you try out Neptune harvest hydrolysed 2-3-1 fish and seeweed fertilizer? Has good reviews but want check with you. Pl advice. Thanks.
I use Alaska brand. It just what I started with.

Isn’t using Ing fish emulsion on an established plant providing too much Nitrogen rather than PK?
Not Really as it is based on how much you pour in and what exists in the soil, stage of growth. I would not use Miracle Gro with a 24 nitrogen or blood meal with 12 Nitrogen. But when you have number below a 5-5-5, it is really hard to mess up things and over do it at any stage.

Prob need to clip the main lead so that it starts using the suckers. Second and third level suckers produce more female flowers then the main vine!
@@erikutube33 if you clip the main lead, how are the suckers going to survive? Am I missing something?
@@denisebayer8748 I am talking about out at the very end. With tomatoes you never want to do this (indeterminate) as this will stop all future growth up the one main lead (and we often prune the suckers as they will pull from the main vine, though I usually leave 2-3 suckers for extra growth, then prune the rest and either regrow them by potting or put them in the compost). With cucumbers, the main vine will produce gobs of male flowers, very very few females, but the side growth suckers have a higher percentage of female. Clip the far end on the main lead and the only future growth will be the suckers. I do not have hard data on this, but can see my own main lead have zero females, tons of males with bees on them, but only the suckers with female. Recently clipped the far end of the main lead after it had grown out 20ft plus some, and I had been clipping the suckers based on video recommendations, but some suckers still existed on various plants that have produced fruit. No more sucker pruning for me. So I literally just did this two weeks ago, so not enough data. I would recommend not pruning suckers, until you can see for yourself if you have more females on yours, then decide if you want to end the main branch growth. Best of luck. Please let me know if you do this on a plant or two and what your results are.
Can I cut all the leaves of
Ive never done that. If it is that bad, I would probably start new plants.

My cucumbers have lots of flowers but no cucumbers. What can do?
Use a q-tip and hand pollinate them.
Nothing really. The plant will work it out when the time is right
