  • I had somebody tell me to try growing cucumbers in a tomato cage! It was the best decision ever! The tendril connected, and when it got taller than the cage, it climbed downward and around it was so neat to watch, and the yield was amazing! And I’ll always grow cucumbers with tomato cages now ☺️
  • Our neighbor gave us cucumber seedling 🌱 and we got the best cucumbers now 🥒 He got the packet seeds from Walmart. I thanked him million times.

    Today we got some nice straight down rain with a little thunder. My mother texted me because it made her remember what an old co-worker used to say. She texted, "Nice pickle showers!" 😊

    As someone in the UK, so not the warmest weather ever, cucumbers still grow well, I transplant mine as well and they work great

    I tried a little experiment when I grew my cucumbers last summer. I put some in a pot with soil, and some in straight up mulch next to my garage. Both grew great Cucumbers, and this was my first time gardening. I also didn’t even get sick

    I love the longer videos because I listen to them through ear buds while I do my gardening chores (which some days is about 10 hours straight 😅). I have one spacemaster 80 I grew from seed in a bag, thought it was supposed to only get a few feet... but this thing just keeps getting longer and longer. Unfortunately, all the female flowers end up turning black and falling off, even though I've tried hand pollinating many times. I'm afraid it just might be too hot and humid/sticky out. Same for my tomatoes😢. Lots of chilis though! (Except my capsicum pub. seedlings...not sure what I'm doing wrong but they're still tiny)
