Cucumber trellis: bit.ly/3ev6txH Growing cucumbers in containers is pretty easy once you know how these prolific plants work! Variety selection is important here, so decide if you want a pickling or slicing variety, and then if you want a bush or vining type, as that will inform how you support the plant. I encourage you to read further for my in-depth growing cucumbers guides linked below as well!

Cucumber peelings have massive cucumber flavor. I know a lot of people peel the skin off and just compost it. Home grown (non waxed) cuke skins make great cucumber water. Before you Chuck them in your compost pile, put them in a pitcher, add a few torn mint leaves if you have them, cover with water and set in the fridge for like half a day. It's amazingly refreshing after an afternoon of weeding. 😀

@GinaSiska 4 года назад

Angie 978 : great idea! I’m gonna try this with my cukes....They have oil in the skins that feel so good on sensitive skin too!

My garden is set for this season, but I had to share this story. 2013 we had moved to Georgia from Arizona. I was and still to this day ALWAYS blown away by the beautiful foliage and atmosphere here. I planted my very first "garden" all five gallon buckets and over two dozen of them. Yeah, my exuberant appetite to become a gardener overwhelmed my common sense. I planted a number of things, most didn't work because I was so new, I had no idea what I was doing. But the cucumbers. SWEET BABY JESUS... I couldn't keep up with them! I was coming out every day to dozens of cucumbers, but because I couldn't keep up, I was getting cucumbers that were overgrown to the size of FOOTBALLS! No joke. Huge, swollen monstrosities the size of a small dog. Next season I will be planting them again but shall we say....with a great deal more knowledge and a LOT more restraint. 🤣 Love your channel so much and I spend hours making notes. There may be hope yet for me!😁

@Love.Fe. Месяц назад

I started my first garden this year. I planted a bunch of seeds. Some of the seeds were out of date so I over seeded for the best odds most took….but the cucumbers! The space master cucumbers just shot up and I have nearly 40 individual cucumbers plants. I think I’m gonna roll with the chaos to see how well they all do 😂😂 Family and local Food pantries will be happy 😆

Yes!! When my current neighbors were looking at the house across from mine last year, I was harvesting a TON of cukes. It was like they had all come in at once. The guy was like....dude, that is a massive cucumber! Lol!! I just laughed and waved, but took great pride in my massive cuke. Lol! I love making lime pickles. They sound gross, but they are THE BEST! I actually used my grandmother's pickling crocks to make them last year! They tasted just like hers. I was so proud! ❤🙂👍

Hi, Kevin. I just wanted to tell you once more how much I appreciate your videos. I follow a very select few gardening vloggers (you, Harvey Ussery, Doug and Stacy, and Self Sufficient Me) who know what they are talking about and communicate it well. When I watch yours, I feel like I am back in college because of your well researched and well presented information. I very much appreciate your educated usage of the English language (it is sometimes hard to take seriously a vlogger who butchers the English language). You make me feel like you have done your homework and you present the information in a manner that is so easy to follow. I am an education junkie, and I consider you one of the finest educators I have had the honor of studying under.

@dancemonkeydance2813 4 года назад

Cucumbers dont like their roots disturbed so the best way is to start them in a biodegradable pot that can be directly planted in the ground. But if this is not the case be sure to keep as much of the dirt around the roots to stay intact.

@pash9956 3 года назад

Hope they make it. They're finicky.

@jenfarmer4864 4 года назад

This was very timely, thank you! I'm doing my research to start my own veggie garden (I grow a lot of non-food plants, but I've never grown plants for eating before). I've identified about 6-7 veggies that my family eats a lot of to start with and cucumbers are definitely on the list. 😁

@project1003 4 года назад

It seems like every day you're answering another of my questions! After not gardening since I was a kid, I went full blown container garden for my 'Pandemic Patch' because the amount of work needed to get my soil ready for planting would have been monumental (actually it's just dirt, soil would be too kind a description for the stuff under my feet). I'm trying to focus on one or two topics a day to avoid being overwhelmed or falling down the RU-vid rabbit hole. Today's topic is "How do I trellis cucumbers and zucchini?". Thanks for making it a "one stop shopping" experience!

Great video! I'm growing cucumbers from seed for the first time and they're doing wonderful. I'm growing marketmore, straight eight, lemon cucumber, and white wonder cucumber all great looking cool cucumbers. I pruned them heavily because I want them to focus on growing upwards my trellis. And they don't mind it I only pinch off the suckers growing in between the leaves while leaving the flowers and tendrills untouched. So I end up leaving only the main stem and there big healthy leaves.

My pickling cucs are surviving better but although 7 feet tall are not bearing much fruit (yet?). I'm learning and loving it, thanks to vids like yours. :)

@davinasquirrel7672 2 года назад

The diluted milk works a treat on powdery mildew. First time I had it was this year. Removed the few worst leaves, sprayed the rest. Took two applications about five days apart. The PM was not on the cucumbers though, but on the pumpkin and cantaloupe. The cucumbers were basically finished by that time. I grow mine hydroponically, and they tasted perfect (kratky method). They also grew HUGE. I actually had way too many cucumbers, and the chickens got a fair bit esp during the hot days (good water content). Anyway, they are super easy to grow. Trellis is the main thing, I happened to have very wide mesh, and used that.

Here's my experience with container gardening on a patio, and my cukes: I have a couple long wooden rail hanger style planters that came with the place. They were originally mounted on the top of the privacy wall that was around the patio. I took the fencing down, as the yard had a fence around it, and we no longer had a hot tub on the patio. I placed the planters on the southern edge of the patio, and hung trellis netting along it, from the fence posts I left in place. I start each spring with peas in the planters, sewn very thick. Once I've harvested, I let the peas dry enough that I can harvest seed peas, then chop up the whole plants and mix it into the soil mix. At that point, I transplant the long english cuke starter plants into the long boxes, and I always get a large harvest, provided I stay on top of the powdery mildew (I use a dilute baking soda spray as a prophylactic). Of course, I mix in organic slow release ferts when I'm digging in the pea straw.

@CatFish107 3 года назад

YEah, feels like you achieved something when you get a big fruit, or a big root. Or my fave is peaches and cream corn on the cob right from the back yard. Just look at those majestic suckers. I grew that plant taller than me in less than a year!
