Grasshoppers is the problem I have
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
I planted 6 cucumber seeds in tray, only 1 popped up, 10 days now..how to increase germination chances?
Thanks for video. Would ocean water (diluted) work in place of Epsom Salt? Thanks
Hi Gary your channel is awesome .I have the bell on to get your new vids, and i do but You Tube keeeps unsubscribing me . Maybe you cpuld check about that and i hope it doesnt happen with other subbies. thank you for the vids Gary.
My plants were looking good, then they were wilting. I was watering, now they look dead
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.
Ive cut off secondary vines one time i had some with tomato suckers and dropped them in water. They grew roots. I didn't realize it until i saw blooms on the cucumber vine. I tried the cloning method with spaghetti squash and it worked too. I was surprised.
😂 I planted too many cucumbers
Perfect timing! I planted mine today!
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?
Thank you. I need to fertaluze my cucumbers. Heat is getting tto them
I have an armadillo infestation on top of this heat…
Man I hold on to my cucumbers way too long. I keep them even when they have yellow crumbly leaves and just a bit of new growth. The ones you say are beat up are like my better plants
How do you take care of the squash bugs
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.
my cukes aren't doing well. this is the first year i've had a problem. perfect timing!
Perfect video!! Thank you!!!
