James, please, I'm right across the Tacony Palmyra from you. This smoke? What should we do? Protection wise I mean, this can't be healthy for the food we hope to eat either? 2nd year Gardner, but this seems pretty unprecedented here. Any advice from anyone in all this?
@@LynnMTHA I'm near capital of Ct and I see some smoke and sure can smell it. I don't see any ash on my veggies. In New Haven, local weather on news shows thick smoke from sky to the ground it seems but I'm on ground level. Those pics were from drone or copter higher up. Looked at the way the air is moving on the map. Curious how it seems to avoid the capital. Only one thing comes to mind. Manipulation. If I find ash I'll use a vacuum to blow it off with shop vac or my hand held. Worth a try. Air quality is bad for those with lung issues so stay inside. If it is just timer burning that's one thing. Any chemicals in the smoke, I don't know.
James, I’d like to thank you for teaching me so much. I’ve learned gardening by TH-camrs such as yourself. So, much peace and love sent your and Tuck’s way. 💜🥕
Tuck is quite the little helper! Nice to see a yorkie actually on the ground being a dog rather than being carried around under someone arm! he’s really CUTE! Is he full bred or a mix? He looks a little more robust than most! Thanks for the tips!
James, I love watching your videos and wish I could see your garden in person! I bet you have the best garden in the Garden State! I’m a Jersey girl living in Indiana and gardening in part of my heart and soul. Can’t imagine what I would do if I didn’t have some earth to dig, plant, and grow flowers and vegetables. I appreciate the wealth of information that you share.
I'm so glad I watched your videos about cucumbers before planting them for the first time. I wouldn't have known to start the seeds later than others or to not let them ripen on the vine without your help.
I love that little dog. It reminds me so much of my little guy who loved gardening with me and would eat whatever I ate except hot peppers he wasnt stupid. Lol God love ya James and your little helper
I've been growing from heirloom seeds for five years, saving seed every year, now my plants are putting on two different kinds of cucumbers. The new ones are smaller, round and have a different skin texture, it's not the heat or water, I've got some stunted regular cucumbers and they look completely different, almost like young cantaloupes. No one within two miles grows near me so it's not cross pollination.
honestly, i wish this video came out two weeks earlier. My first batch of cucumbers died, but hopefully, the second batch will do better with your help
I too had so many cucumbers last year. I made Cucumber water. Blend peeled cuks with a little water, lime juice, sugar or choice of sweetener, or no sweetener. Strain or not. Also add watermelon. Cucumber and water melon water. Everyone loved it! Can put a sprig of mint in glass.
@@wifigrannyl.1354 I’m at that age where I’m trying to work out how to delete certain memories, so I’ve room in my brain to take in great detail on cucumber growing 😂🙌
@@wifigrannyl.1354 Right now, I’m at the point where he advises to cut off the first few cucumbers 😱 I’ll need to sleep on this for a couple of nights before I perform this cucumber surgery & hope others will appear 🙏 I’ve had my first radish today 😋 & shared it with three people, (it was the best radish ever!) so you can imagine my predicament 😂
I sell bedding plants at a northern Minnesota Farmer’s Market. So many people want cucumber & melon plants way early in the season. I tell them the plants won’t be happy if you put them out too early. But they go buy them from someone else then wonder why they don’t do well. Thank you for your advice & agreement.
I am always so amazed with your wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing. I am definitely going to buy insect netting. Great idea! Tuck is so cute! All the hearts for him ❤❤❤❤❤
I put up a 50 x 14 caterpillar tunnel with a 50% shade cloth. Running up strings, best crop I have ever had. I am in hot Alabama. It is humid and rains a lot, no blight, put copper wire antennas in for electroculture and no bugs so far.
Love your videos! My husband and I are avid gardeners but still have a lot to learn. We are also determined to only be organic in our gardening. You fit the bill on both. You n Tuck keep up the good work😊
The skip you do at the beginning of each video!!!! My boyfriend and I get a kick out of that! Your energy is great! Thanks for the info, Tuck is so cute!
Zinnias and dahlias are the best trap crops for cucumber beetles, in my experience. The flowers are like a billboard for pollinators too. It's easy to knock beetles off the blossoms into a container of slightly soapy water to drown them. Use just enough soap or detergent to break the surface tension of the water.
My zucchini and cukes are under And all out assault by these little devils. This is my first time gardening so I didn’t take the necessary precautions. I try to grab them and they drop into the dirt or fly away! Do you think Neem oil will work?
My mom sent me one of your videos now I’ve watched 10 in a row! Great advice, you are so knowledgeable and fun to watch.. Thanks for all the good advice.
Hi James Great info thanks. You mentioned about a garden journal, I was wondering if you could do a video showing how you fill in your garden journal and talk it through. I am located in Great Britain but find the tips you give are very helpful. 😊😊
Thanks for the tip on covering cucumber seedlings. Here in North Jersey, they are getting chewed up. Keep up the great work. Spamming hearts for Tuck.❤❤❤❤
James thank you, very good and complete video, I will put in practice all of this usefull information 😀 keep up the good grow my friend, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
You my friend, are the new King of Gardening for beginners!! I love it here and have gotten so much valuable info from you. Best Gardening Value for a few years now for me! And THANKYOU to Tuck, he's got me planting things just for my pooch as well! 💞
Not saying that they don't like to snack~~my parrots LOVE fresh veggies almost as mch as Tuck does! *LOL* I'm hoping for a new/larger yard in the next year or so. Then I can start implementing much of what you've shown us. I've got to modify them a bit due to some physical disabilities, but I'm willing to make do! Please give Tuck a scritch for me!😁
I Garden here in New Jersey also mines much smaller I have a forest in my backyard not much sun trying my hand at some corn this year also love growing fig trees I haven't seen any in your garden
god damn those were some long cumbers! thx for the tips OG. don't garden since I live in an apartment but loved it when I was able too in the past & look forward too next time im able.
Thank you!!! This is such good information. This is my second year growing them and I wish I saw this sooner! Thank you for educating us! So dang good! And let’s be honest, we know Tuck is doing all the hard work 😆. He’s lucky he’s got a good assistant in James 😆❤️.
Watching your video no one can possibly doubt your words if they just look at the close ups of your gardens. Unlike many other videos your plants look so healthy...no yellow spots, no diseases, no bug bites. I am a new fan!! Will be stopping back to watch your cucumber tips again. So much was helpful. Thank you for your knowledge!! Oh, and Tuck....if I could only get my dog to behave as well as he does around your plants! Melissa

Never known a dog to be so fond of vegetables. Such a paradise for Tuck. 🥒
My Yorkie used to love to eat cucumbers and the brother to my Yorkie was half his size and he loved those
My puppy loves quite a few veggiescucumber, peppers, carrots, etc.
Tuck chomping on veggies in the garden is just the sweetest thing!
Tried it with my dog...na😂
❤❤my dog luvs to eat cookies, Brownies, etc. 14 y.o. so far, is my Zoey. I love Tuck ❤❤❤❤
Tucker is literally the CUTEST garden helper ever!! 😍🐕💕
Yes he is!
Thanks
Tucker is such a lucky dog, and one of the healthiest.
I came for the cucumbers, stayed for Tuck! 😂 Great video, thank you!
James, I’d like to thank you for teaching me so much. I’ve learned gardening by TH-camrs such as yourself. So, much peace and love sent your and Tuck’s way. 💜🥕
Me,😊👌🏾 as well
Absolutely agree. Thank you!
Yes!
I love watching Tuck nosh on the veggies. I can’t believe he loves radishes too! 🥒 🐕 🤎
Thank you for making this video! I love Tuck❤I just lost my 17 year old Yorkie, please give Tuck a hug for me. They’re amazing dogs!
Haha, OMGosh, Tuck at the end poking his head thru the cucumber plant to get his cucumber snack you gave him, LOL!! He is so cute!! 🥰🥰
Tuck is quite the little helper! Nice to see a yorkie actually on the ground being a dog rather than being carried around under someone arm! he’s really CUTE! Is he full bred or a mix? He looks a little more robust than most! Thanks for the tips!
soooooooooooooooooooooooo true
My Yorkie is the same size and I’ve seen others like that. They’re 10-lb dogs :)
Robust...lol❤😂
“Cucumbers hate cold feet” 😂😂 Don’t we all? Thanks for the tips! You always help me with anything I want to drop!
Is grass and weeds good as mulch for plants
@@JohnnyZBeatZ if there are no seeds, yes.
@@JohnnyZBeatZyep excellent chop & drop or in this case Pull & Drop! Just make sure they haven’t been sprayed with weed killer 😅
James, you have a lot knowledge. I think you should write a book.
I’d buy it!
James, I love watching your videos and wish I could see your garden in person! I bet you have the best garden in the Garden State!

This is perfect timing, as my cucumbers are in the seedling stage right now. As always, ❤❤❤❤s for the little boss!
Hey James and Tuck, we sure appreciate your videos and Tuck eating his veggies always brings a smile to our faces!!!
James I follow you frequently. I’m up in north Jersey and have patterned my garden after yours. Gary
I'm so glad I watched your videos about cucumbers before planting them for the first time. I wouldn't have known to start the seeds later than others or to not let them ripen on the vine without your help.
Tuck is the sweetest pup❤
Hope you and Tuck are staying safe from the wildfire smoke, I know it's bad in Jersey right now!
Just love your garden ❤. 👵🏻👩🌾❣️
I love that little dog. It reminds me so much of my little guy who loved gardening with me and would eat whatever I ate except hot peppers he wasnt stupid. Lol God love ya James and your little helper
Putting black plastic over the beds in march, will thaw and warm the soil so planting can happen a bit earlier.
Great information! Thanks so much. Also, I have never seen a dog eat radishes! Way to go Tuck! ❤️😘💘💓💜
He is one dieting dog.

You should make a calendar with Tuck ❤❤❤ so much cuteness ❤❤
Not giving up James. With your help this is going to be the year!! LET'S GO!!!!!
Have you tried growing Nimrod cucumbers? Mini ones that Tuck would love xxxx❤
I can see how passionate you are to have this beautiful garden. enjoy
Never knew how good a fresh fig tasted right out of your garden it's an amazing fruit
You are my favorite gardening channel! I love your positive enthusiasm!
honestly, i wish this video came out two weeks earlier. My first batch of cucumbers died, but hopefully, the second batch will do better with your help
We are growing Suyo Long cucumbers this year because of your recommendation!! Thank you!
Let's Gooo Karen S! Me and Tuck hope they give you some massive harvests!
Tuck is soooo cute! ❤😊

Fantastic advice! 1st year of growing cucumbers, they’re currently about two inches tall, so I’ll try to remember everything you said. Thank you 🥒🥒
Let's Gooo!!!
@@jamesprigioni I’ll be doing your little “Let’s goooo” jig every time I enter the garden too 💃😂
I have to take notes. My memory isn’t what it used to be, especially on the names of the varieties.

Hi James thanks for update on cucumbers. I can't wait to start. I am in Canada in Ontario near Toronto zone 5b😊
Love that you said keep a garden journal. I’m doing this year to see what is working
Wonderful video🌹🌹❤❤
Hi James . I recently started watching your channel and let me tell you your videos are amazing.......Lots of love from India
I really appreciate your videos. I always learn something.
Our Cucumbers here in the Tropics of Australia experience heat all year round. We experience tempretures from 71°f - 96°f in one day
Im in NSW ...what varieties do u grow?
I mainly grow Lebanese Cucumbers their the main one that grow well up here
@@Blackwood_Cottage are they heirloom do u know?
No I don't sorry
Thank you as a fairly new gardener learning a lot
Hello Petra how are you doing today
The way Tuck looked at that cucumber! 😄🥰🐕 12:55
My precious! 🤣🤣🤣
I put up a 50 x 14 caterpillar tunnel with a 50% shade cloth. Running up strings, best crop I have ever had. I am in hot Alabama. It is humid and rains a lot, no blight, put copper wire antennas in for electroculture and no bugs so far.
We tried electroculture it didn't work
Love your videos! My husband and I are avid gardeners but still have a lot to learn. We are also determined to only be organic in our gardening. You fit
the bill on both. You n Tuck keep up the good work😊
Nice Mary how are you doing and how is the weather conditions over there
In Australia we have the same problem with pests, but ours are called Pumpkin Beetles, and they multiply day-by-day.
I love your teachings and tips. You make me feel like I can be a successful gardener. There's so much to learn.
The skip you do at the beginning of each video!!!! My boyfriend and I get a kick out of that! Your energy is great! Thanks for the info, Tuck is so cute!

@@katm4841 Neem oil did not help with the cucumber beetles
for me last year. Tons of beetles!
Thank you and Tuck I have learned so much from the videos.
Love little Tuck! Growing Beit Alpha this year.
Thanks..!.. I planted Japanese cucumber seeds...Looking forward to seeing them grow..
My mom sent me one of your videos now I’ve watched 10 in a row! Great advice, you are so knowledgeable and fun to watch.. Thanks for all the good advice.
Thank you for being such a great teacher. Your videos are always so informative, interesting, and entertaining! Tuck is adorable.
Nice comment Camille how are you doing today
Tuck is probably one of the healthiest dog around. ❤
Thanks for all your videos. It was so helpful. Do share your harvest with your neighbors?
Thank you for sharing your story, wonderful garden and all your helpful info ♥️♥️ your Tucker
Hello Mercedes how are you doing today I hope you are doing well

Hey James hope your doin good with all that smoke over there right now. Lovin your channel! Keep it up!
I just put my seeds in the ground today. lets see what happens 6 weeks from now. I never knew that about production stopping!
Do the cucumbers finish ripening after they’re picked???
Half way through one video, and I’m hooked! Great info straight to the point!
Since birds usually eat plants for moisture, have you considered putting in a couple of bird baths?
Not saying that they don't like to snack~~my parrots LOVE fresh veggies almost as mch as Tuck does! *LOL* I'm hoping for a new/larger yard in the next year or so.
