I use the Cattle Panel trellises to grow a wide variety of vegetables and also to support our bougainvilleas and trumpet vines on our property. They are convenient,easy to set up and cost effective. Yes, it does require a truck or a large SUV to transport them. But well worth it at harvest time.👍🏽

😂 I have several in my backyard garden that I put up by myself and they work great. They aren't the only trellis system that works but they were cheap and easy to build and are very effective.

Im growing my Cucumber hydroponically on my porch it’s gotten huge but I’ve only seen 2 female flowers a ton of males. It’s eating a lot of nutrients. I’m just learning about gardening thanks for the video.

I’ve never canned tomatoes. I have a late plant here in Wisconsin just bearing fruit. A boxcar Willie (heirloom). Watching it carefully due to our temps getting cooler. Also we’ve had the issue of not enough rain. Thx for the info!

What species of wood for your frames? Cedar so they don’t rot? Or do you just make new every year? Thanks, Tony.

If a flower falls off a female cucumber after pollination will it still grow?

I like to get the skins off.

Nah, your argument that they're hard to move doesn't work, they are very easy to move. In fact easier than your thing. Both sides also get sun, one side in the morning and one side afternoon.

We put our X on the bottom. Seems to work a little better. Also, we blanch 2 mins. Thanks for sharing your video!

Im new to growing cucumbers and I don’t know exactly what to do with them they’re growing slowly, it’s the third month and im supposed to get some harvest from them i guess but this is the first week of them flowering, the problem is all of them are male flowers, also all the leaves started having these yellow specks some turned brown like they’re being eaten by something and some died they browned from the side of the leave , also a couple of the leaves that are green got a pale-ish white vien in them.. i was this close to giving up until i saw this video , you gave me a bit of hope , i need to get me some neem oil !

Those look like my purple Hull peas. My black eyed peas turn yellowish when dry. Would it be the same for Purple Hull and Black eyed peas?

You call those tomato plants? Nggremore

I am in NE PA, zone 5B. It has been extremely hot all summer. I am growing 2 Black Beauty eggplant from seedlings in 5 gal pails with Miracle-Gro potting mix, M-Gro Plant Food 18-18-21, every 7-10 days. Potted on June 10th.They would be coming due for harvest in few wks. They are on an elevated deck, away from garden soil. The fruit looked great for a while. I had 12 healthy eggplants on each. When they were small, I used Sevin dust to get rid of flea beetles. I don't see signs of insects, I've covered them with garden fabric every night since after using the dust. The fruit have suddenly stopped growing. All the fruit on one has turned pale, but no rotting, no soft spots, or BER. They are all hard as a rock. In the last 2 wks, I've fed both 2x with a liquid high phosphorous fertilizer (Miracle-Gro Quick Start to see if that helps. It doesn't seem to be getting better, but ir's been very hot here, so I started keeping shade cloth on them during the hot days. The other plant's fruit looked like it would make it, they were still deep purple, but now I notice they are also starting to look pale. The majority of the fruit are size of a baseball. One on the healthier plant has turned light brown. I cut it open and it is unripe, light green, but yet healthy looking. The plants are a normal height, about 4.5 feet, and still starting new fruit. Am I missing insect damage? Disease? Is it the heat, maybe too much sun? Has to be sun & heat, right? The stems look perfect. How can I get the fruit's color back and get them to keep growing?- Thanks!!!

I loved this video. ❤❤❤I have to learn how to prepare tomatoes, to can, and any other ways to preserve my harvest. 😅

I got three 16 foot long cattle panels home no problem with my first generation toyota tacoma. 6 foot long bed. I did not bend them. You can buy these things called roof racks that go on top of the pickup. Something you would need anyway to get that lumber that you are using home. You just have to put a red flag on the load that sticks out (check your states regulations) If you can't pound a steel T-post into the ground you should just not go outside in the first place. I am a 5 foot 7 inch 125 pound human with a crooked back and I have no problem doing this and my soil is trash, full of rocks. treated wood in the ground only lasts 3 or 4 years in my climate. Concrete on soil then treated wood is the only way to go. Digging the hole for the two post would be more work than necessary. my cattle panel designed greenhouse does not need power tools to build. You need a miter saw to cut those 45's and not everyone has a miter saw No reason to be a dick about it. You could have just showed people what you did without the insults. the cordage wont last long. it expands and contracts with moisture levels and with the sun, heat and cold they will go bad in a couple maybe three years. quarter inch galvanized steel panels will last decades. You failed

You and yours are the best ML&R

When you pick them not quite ripe do you break the stem off?

Thank-you for the video. I am an amateur gardener from New Jersey (zone 6b). Your video addressed my main problem of cucumber plants producing a lot of leaves and flowers, eventually turning yellow and decaying without producing much fruit. I plant Burpee Straight 8. Are there other varieties you suggest? I use miracol grow to feed. Does that supply all the nutrients needed for a successful crop? You mentioned several nutrients. I grow my cukes vertically on a fence. Is it necessary to disinfect the fence after the growing season or will the Northeast winter kill viruses and disease?

lol saw this thumbnail and knew the comments would be epic. 😂 However, you forgot the factor that trumps all potential issues: because my wife really wants an arch.

That's a great trellis design. I did not have any of the trouble you mention but I used hog panels. I used 6 hog panels which are more narrow because my 4 beds are 3 foot x 8 foot, in 2 rows. 4 panels in the bed and 2 of the panels span between the beds.

My cucumber has male flowers no females yet and we had tropical storm Debbie and basically kilt off my male plants and the females haven’t even bloom yet wats do I do

Is the soil you used in this video also good for tomatoes, okra and beans?

Wat do I do if the males die off before the female even opens up im in zone 8b and had a lot of rain

Good

How to control whitefly without chemical, at large scale

Sorry sir but you are wrong! Cow panel are excellent and I grow same thing in same spot every year!

Of course! Use your advertiser while debunking all other idea😒

I noticed when I watered to much when I was first starting, I got blossom end rot. The moment I stoped watering as much have not had it since. I did a lot of those recommended fixes that you spoke of. Nothing worked. Just watered less…same with damping off. I had a major issue with this when I first started seed starting. I almost gave up because everything was dieing. I figured it couldn’t be a disease. What are those chances? I stopped watering as much and fixed my problems. I was able to save a lot just by putting it in dry soil and stopped watering as much.

What is organic fertilizer made from? What are the ingredients?

Good idea, but how did you get those 2x4x10's home?

I planted bush champion in my garden bed and it got to 3 to 4 feet tall already.

Is the Neem oil a cold press?

I have been growing cucumbers for several years this year the baby cucumbers there like blossom end rot all black not developing I cut them off plant looks great just picked 16 cucumbers but over half of babies are affected any ideals? Loved your video very informative

Heh,,, that's what she said.

not only is it the best parthenocarpic, indeterminant cucumber, it's the best stage name for a male stripper EVER!!!

Had to start harvesting tomatoes shortly before fully ripe - bc they were getting nibbled on by animals at night. (Can't blame them, they're delicious.) I was skeptical, but gotta admit they do ripen beautifully on the window sill!

Not a great argument, I think you should have said is that cattle panels don't work for you! The points about transportation are exaggerated and as the comments demonstrate many people have no issues with getting cattle panels home and installed . When planning a garden you always look at the path of the sun, so why would I install cattle panels in a way that shades my plants? I do like the fact that you are open to counter opinions. Best of luck with your garden.

I just got the 32 Oz bundle. Let’s see what this baby can do!

Excellent video thank you!

Thanks for the video! It was so informative and useful!

I planted 5 German Queens in 2024... they are potato leaf plants... the branches are very stiff... the tomatoes are large... the plants are wide and tall...

What do those fertilizers cost?

Can you freeze this

They are becoming so hot.. plants are burning wherever it touches to the panel..

I find ber has a lot to do with the plant breed and variety itself. I grow Early girl Bush with zero ber. I also grow Carolina gold with zero ber. This year I tried a new one to me called Best boy Bush and it's got ber. Keep in mind all of these plants are determinate varieties. I grew indeterminate varieties for years, and they all had ber! I went nuts for years and tried everything out there to keep my plants from getting ber. Now I no longer have to. I will only grow determinate varieties from now on and just keep an eye out for the ones that get ber.

Is the peppermint one ok to use? Or does the lavender Dr. Bronners work best?

I found avid on my tomato plant. Sprayed neem oil. It left a white coating on everything

You're a fine teacher, superb help for my tomato patch! Subscribed yes. Thank you.

Cat ion is actually CORRECTLY pronounced ‘CAT EYE-ON’… and gypsum is pronounced ‘JIP-SUM’ with an “M”…not an “N” 👍

Very good video, you covered all the issues. I am a Master Gardener and many people have problems with bottom end rot problems, including myself. It is usually due to a lack of water. As you say, get your soil tested. Do not use lime, which has calcium but will raise the Ph. As you say egg shells,Tums etc is a waste of time.
