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

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.

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. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
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.

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. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

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. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD

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.

Thank you for all your help in developing my garden. I’m a perk member and have a question: how do you get rid of ants in the compost bin. I drenched it with water and left to drain. Is there any other way to deal with them? Thanks in advance..
Thanks for being a perk member. I am glad you said something because there is no star next to your name. I would look up the borax ant baits on my channel and use them. That should work.

Hi, Greg.I wanted to ask a question.I plant my picklin cucumbers and all I see is male floors on them.I have yet to see a female flower on them.What do I do.? And do you think I should fertilize them. thank a lot.

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.
Have you heard of growing cucumbers up a string? I'm thinking of growing soya cucumber which grow 10 to 18 inches long and wonder if it would grow on a single stem.

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

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 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.

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
Not sure how they grow. Sorry. The Rusted Garden Vegetable Seeds & Home Garden Supplies: www.therustedgarden.com Earn 15% and become a TRG Affiliate for our seed & garden shop Sign Up Here: bit.ly/4aarkDD
@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 didn’t plant cucumbers this year, as it’s always disappointing. My vines start off looking nice, then suddenly get buggy & wilty. Decided not to waste my energy on them anymore.

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.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I will let you know if it succeeds or fails or something in between.
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.

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.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you!
Thank you for your video. It has helped me so much for my first garden. I was wondering if using watering trays would assist it keeping the grow bags I'm using from drying out.
Watering trays are a good idea

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.

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.

Thank you for all your help in developing my garden. I’m a perk member and have a question: how do you get rid of ants in the compost bin. I drenched it with water and left to drain. Is there any other way to deal with them? Thanks in advance..
Thanks for being a perk member. I am glad you said something because there is no star next to your name. I would look up the borax ant baits on my channel and use them. That should work.

Hi, Greg.I wanted to ask a question.I plant my picklin cucumbers and all I see is male floors on them.I have yet to see a female flower on them.What do I do.? And do you think I should fertilize them. thank a lot.
You can do anything but wait it out. They do their own thing.

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.
Have you heard of growing cucumbers up a string? I'm thinking of growing soya cucumber which grow 10 to 18 inches long and wonder if it would grow on a single stem.
I have seen it but dont know much about it.

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.
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.

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 ☹️😭
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.

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.

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
Not sure how they grow. Sorry.

@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 didn’t plant cucumbers this year, as it’s always disappointing. My vines start off looking nice, then suddenly get buggy & wilty. Decided not to waste my energy on them anymore.
Planting them later can help

I planted 6 cucumber seeds in tray, only 1 popped up, 10 days now..how to increase germination chances?
fresh seeds and keep them moist and warm (76f or higher)
It's a seed issue not a you issue probably. New seeds.

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.
