Great timing! Last season I tossed an old cucumber into my yard and forgot about it. I had just added new soil to plant something else and when I went back I had tons of cucumber plants coming up. I'm going to test a toss and grow garden... See if it works
My new way to water is using milk jugs with a tiny hole pricked in it for a slow drip. I just make sure every plant has their own jug which makes monitoring water amount easier and everything is doing so well through the summer so far, including new baby transplants in this 97 degree heat.
That's a great use of milk jugs! Are you burying the jugs next to the plants like an olla? Or are you just putting them next to the plant on top of the soil? I'm just starting a container garden and I've been thinking of using ollas but they'd take up so much room in my containers.
@@jennywren76 I just put them on top of the soil, then I can grab them and refill them all without dragging the hose. My other advice would be put the hole about 2 inches from bottom so a little water remains and the jug won't blow away lol I've learned that the hard way.
Great idea. Although, I would have to buy over a hundred jugs for all my plants! 🤣 It’s gotta work better than my drip irrigation set up that I currently run for 2 hours at a time & my plants are STILL dehydrated 😡
Your videos have inspired us to garden. We bought our house about 2 years ago, and the previous owner raised bird dogs in the backyard. The backyard barely has grass, the ground is very uneven, and it just isn't serving us. We are hoping to basically turn our backyard into gardens with paths between them. We currently have 6 raised beds. We started with one bed and a compost bin last year, and this year, we've expanded. I'm SO excited! I learn so much from you and the boss in every video. Thank you so much!
I've been watching you for quite a bit now James and at 70 I have learned so much from you. And Tuck of course too. I also enjoy your garden so much too. Keep up the good work young man! God ess you and Tuck.
I just love your music intro ❤ it’s a feel good song. I was going through a terrible time a few years ago recovering from surgery and found your channel then and it made me feel really good bc I love gardening ❤ thank you
I see a variety people saying to water from the bottom, on both flowers and veggies, but rain comes from above so I still don’t understand why it’s so crucial to water from below??
I so love this channel. I have a small garden as well in my backyard here in Florida and I use no pesticides, fertilizer, growth hormones, etc. I just water my plants with rainwater, and if rain is scarce, I use filtered tap water. It rains here almost every day this summer and my plants are so green and healthy. Mother nature is taking care of all of them. Thank you for sharng all these wonderful videos. I have yet to watch them one at a time🥰
Wow, plant burpless to limit bugs! No burps, no bugs! Thanks for that great tip! Love all the information. So nice to see that you have several varieties of cucumber. Look at that harvest! Impressive! I know you've mentioned kaolin clay before, like for the fruit trees. Had no idea how you got it onto the trees. But in this video we get a peek at the sprayer you used for the cucumbers. Now I know! Thank you!
I'm taking in all the tips on cucumbers since this is the first time I'm growing them. Definitely want to try that Asian variety you mentioned. Cucumbers are such an interesting and complicated plant to grow, but I find it rewarding and a learning experience as you mentioned. Appreciate the advice brother.
Hi James and Tuck I’m in north Tx and when my cucumbers start growing they turn yellow and die. Yes it’s been in the triple digits for a while and I water everyday. Top is dry quick yet bottom of bucket is wet. Plants are all producing yellow fruit. I love your channel and especially enjoy Supervisor Tuck.
I know what your talking about, I live in south Tx near the gulf and its been like 108. I think what you should do is add more holes in the bucket to prevent root rot since its always wet, and mulch heavily. You could use gardenstraw for the mulch it works great for me or just some leaves
This is absolutely amazing. Your great tips for gardening and overall how much value you give us by sharing your journey and experience is just priceless. I started my own very tiny garden this summer and your tips have been nothing but a life changer. Thank you again and send much love and happy gardening.
I used Ollas this summer in NZ for cucumbers and tomatoes. Best garden yet and did have to use as much watering. I used your trails method worked a treat.
The last couple years here in Middle Tennessee I've had a hard time with cucumbers. This year growing the Bet Alpha Israeli cucumber, it is raining cucumbers and they are absolutely delicious. Love your video and I was already following about everything you put in there, but it's nice to get the reassurance from someone who does it more than I do. thanks for all the great information. Dave Fairview TN
My greenbeans stopped producing when I stopped pulling them...but I have seeds that I'll get from them...heirloom seeds. Your dog is a big feature for your great work thnx.
I always love your enthusiasm!! Perspective really is everything. Fabulous garden, you're a real artist. Thanks for everything you share, it's made a world of difference in my gardening over the years 😊
Thanks for the reminder to check my cukes today! The cluster of plants is tucked in a corner and it's the one plant I forget to check. Good tips! I plant Suyo Long, have never seen a beetle on it.
James and Tuck. We did the pruning you taught in another video and picked the cucumbers before fully ripe. We did that in 2 buckets. Had enough to share and tried my hand at pickles. Genius. Hope Tuck is feel well these days Zone 6b Ct. USA. Upbeat channel I love. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this. For most of us gardeners, insect management is one of the most difficult to master - especially if you are wanting to use less or zero poisons and insecticides. Much love to 💞💞💞 TUCK 💞💞💞
Im keeping an eye out for the cucumber beetles cause im growing mainly pickling cucumbers this year and i know they attract more beetles. I have the spinosad and it seems to be working so im just gonna keep using that i think. I also use it on my brassicas cause i had horrible worm damage. Not so much anymore. I use it on all my plants. But the cucumbers are growing well so far and no beetle damage. Hope ir stays that way. I know another trick is to keep them up off the ground and that helps deter the beetles.
What about planting marigolds around tomatoes and cucumbers for the beetles? Great harvest James,. I'm in Arizona high desert so it's always a water issue. I'm going to plant this year in large pots with the bottoms cut out and the pot planted in the ground a few inches that way I'm hoping to concentrate the water and control the water flow. I like your garden foreman Tuck he's so cute. Thanks for the good info.
Thanks for the tips on how to get more cucumbers, you have a great garden I wonder do you question why the skies are white and muted sunshine? Lovely little dog you there.
Haven't even watched the video yet but I love you James and Tuck! I know it will be a banger. Just the right timing for me as I have started to harvest my cucumbers.
Hello Susan how are you doing and how’s the weather over there? I was going through comments when I came across your post.. I would love to be a friend, would be nice if you can add me up, i hope you don’t mind?
What's going on Growers? I am harvesting cantaloupe and watermelon from my garden and it's sooo yummy 😋 P.s💛💚❤️🐕🐶 hearts for tuck Thank you James for being you
Let's Gooo!! nothing like fresh cantaloupe, sooo dang good! Watermelon tooo!! you're crushing it!! Thanks for the hearts and love, keep growing and keep harvesting!
That's a smart move, and if you add some journal entries to that of what you are doing and how your season is going, you will find that to be of great value to you in the future. Some of my own garden journals are my greatest guides to the growing season
I like what you said. Nothing happened in the garden is bad it’s just perspective. We can always learn something from our mistakes. I just made a mistake today in my garden and feeling bummed by it… Thank you for the pep talk! :)
Hello Patty how are you doing and how’s the weather over there? I was going through comments when I came across your post.. I would love to be a friend, would be nice if you can add me up, i hope you don’t mind?

I am very happy that you were able to share there with me I been wanted to grow some cucumbers this year thank you for the encouragement you show to this video and I will try to see if I can order one of those knee helper that's the best video I have seen on cucumbers
Hi James what an amazing harvest. Still over 40 days with no rain and temps at 104 to 110, most all of Texas is real bad. We have in our channel all the struggle we went though and we are done until the fall. This drought is the worst we have seen in a very long time. Blessing to you and your family.
Hey brother, the pic on UA-cam shows you pouring what looks like milk on your plants…do you use something to fertilize or amend your cucumber plants??? Thanks homie!
My favorite gardening channel!!! Hello James and Tuck. My cucumbers are already burning up and dying back, and have almost quit producing. I overhead water them. I know I need to figure out a better way. But they're only 8 weeks old! I haven't seen any beetles. Can you see them or do you think they just lack water? I water them an hour a week with my sprinkler. I'm in the south and its been so so hot!!
Mine are struggling too. I'm in southern Missouri and it's hotter than hot. I water everyday! I use a drip irrigation system and run it for at least an hour a day. Then I check the moisture of the soil every day... In the morning or late evening. And I put up shade cloth... That my son bought from Amazon... It's 60%. Maybe James can try it out and post it on his site?? It's really helped protect them. So I'm getting a few... And waiting for cooler weather.
@@christinejjones3068 I’m in South Carolina and I definitely know what you mean by hotter than hot! Omg you’re the best gardener ever! You take such good care of your cucumbers! I’ll take notes from you and I’ll do better next year!
I’m in zone 9a, as a new gardener growing has been rough. I lost 2 of the 4 cuke plants I had but was able to manage getting fruit from the other two. One of them looks super sad. It doesn’t seem to be growing yet I see baby fruits producing and then just dying. Flowers on the other that just dry up and lead to nothing. Wondering if I should give up and plant new ones from seed next year or if these still have a chance?
Have you stuck your fingers deep into the soil up to your hand? I thought mine were getting enough water. Evidently the green leaves and growth needed the water and The flowers would not fruit until I did the fingers depth test.
If the fruits are starting, but then dying when they are very small, they might not have been pollinated. Maybe hand pollinate? Sometimes I'll pinch flowers off of plants when they are really small to try and encourage them to grow rather than start forming fruit. I'm in zone 6B in NJ and just planted another round of cucumbers. I would think you definitely could start another round from seed now in 9a.
Just the video I was looking for without even knowing it! Thanks for sharing! I have 28 cucumber plants going , 5 are already fruiting, ten are medium sized about to flower And the rest are all 4” seedlings 😂 Sooo many cukes! PATIO CUCUMBERS ARE GOOD! 40 days and 3’. Dozen of cukes on one plant !😱
Great timing! Last season I tossed an old cucumber into my yard and forgot about it. I had just added new soil to plant something else and when I went back I had tons of cucumber plants coming up. I'm going to test a toss and grow garden... See if it works
I did that several times with yellow eggplants,but didn't get any young plants.I guess they were GMO vegetable.
Non GMO are not allowed in my country.
I have a cucumber plant that stopped producing and now I know why. You really have to stay on top of the gherkin variety. They grow fast!
My new way to water is using milk jugs with a tiny hole pricked in it for a slow drip. I just make sure every plant has their own jug which makes monitoring water amount easier and everything is doing so well through the summer so far, including new baby transplants in this 97 degree heat.
That's a great use of milk jugs! Are you burying the jugs next to the plants like an olla? Or are you just putting them next to the plant on top of the soil? I'm just starting a container garden and I've been thinking of using ollas but they'd take up so much room in my containers.

That is a fantastic idea! This is precisely why I always read the comments section on these videos. 👍😎😇
@@fortwillie that’s why we all
Do. Haha. Our “neighbors” are the best resource.
Great idea. Although, I would have to buy over a hundred jugs for all my plants! 🤣 It’s gotta work better than my drip irrigation set up that I currently run for 2 hours at a time & my plants are STILL dehydrated 😡
Your videos have inspired us to garden. We bought our house about 2 years ago, and the previous owner raised bird dogs in the backyard. The backyard barely has grass, the ground is very uneven, and it just isn't serving us. We are hoping to basically turn our backyard into gardens with paths between them. We currently have 6 raised beds. We started with one bed and a compost bin last year, and this year, we've expanded. I'm SO excited! I learn so much from you and the boss in every video.

Good tips. I agree covering with insect netting when young. I don't bother spraying for cucumber beetles. I just succession grow them.
In Georgia, we use 3 layers newspaper, 4 " pine straw. We leave 2 feet between plants, in tomato
cages. We plant directly in the ground.
How often watering cucumbers?
Thanks for the reminder to check my cukes today! The cluster of plants is tucked in a corner and it's the one plant I forget to check. Good tips! I plant Suyo Long, have never seen a beetle on it.

Try some Ceder Chips (Used for pet litter) The dust and chips stick to the leaves to keep insects away. It worked for me.
Another tip: choose a self pollinating, parthenocarpic variety like beit alpha, it will double to triple harvests alone
Great channel-- so much helpful information, compactly presented. Upbeat, encouraging. Thanks, James! 👍🥒
Re: squash: PLEASE tell us how you handle /deter the squash vine borer ? Also 🤗🥰 for Tuck!

Have you stuck your fingers deep into the soil up to your hand? I thought mine were getting enough water. Evidently the green leaves and growth needed the water and The flowers would not fruit until I did the fingers depth test.
@@smas3256 I haven’t you to my hands, no. I do have a water meter that I use though and haven’t had any dry readings. They’re on drip.
*up to
If the fruits are starting, but then dying when they are very small, they might not have been pollinated. Maybe hand pollinate? Sometimes I'll pinch flowers off of plants when they are really small to try and encourage them to grow rather than start forming fruit. I'm in zone 6B in NJ and just planted another round of cucumbers. I would think you definitely could start another round from seed now in 9a.
Are you having any spotted lantern flies in your perma? I just found one snacking on one of our cucumber plants
