This is what happened to mine last year! Now I know! Thank you.
i have Parthenocarpic katrina cucumber plants growing but im not getting any cucumbers …..the plants are fairly good size and have plenty of flowers but no fruit….bought the seeds from a private grower online and wondering if i got burnt
Very useful. Thanks a lot.
Great information. I now will think of cucumbers like a Mr Meeseeks!
Thank you. I'm going to try cucumbers for the first time this year. Wish me luck.
I never heard of that I have left cumber ripen before and never hurt them
I’ll follow your lead! Thanks
Great info, Two questions: 1)what about planting the same location due to the need to rotate the plants in the same area for nutrients? 2) can you use any seeds from the previous cucumber to replant?
fascinating. I had no idea. I'm just beginning my gardening journey
I didn’t know that.but yes I missed one and found it under a leaf, by then it was too late and it eventually died just like that. Thank you
Wow! I had no idea.
What a drama queen cucumber 🥒😢😂
Hi from TN.
Thank you for sharing your info. I will try to plant more.often. I start them in cardboard egg cartons sitting in a foam one. They just break apart easily.
how do you know when a fruit is fully grown on the verge of turning yellow and you need to pick it?
Thank you very much.
You made my day.
Always thought something else killed my plants
Oh okay i will now.pick them b4 they mature.
Dale is just as smart as his daddy!
Brilliant! Thanks!!
Ok got it it's drilled in my head now lol.. I'll pick my cucumbers!! 😂 I think I get so excited I do the opposite and pick em too early. Maybe. I still low yield. Gotta research nutrient needs I think. Tysm for the vid
Oh my god the cucumbers are for the drama i love them
He's just like me
Man, now I feel bad for the cucumber-
I had crazy success with jalapenos and tomatoes in containers last year because I did exactly what you said to do! This year I'm putting in raised beds and adding cucumbers….had no idea about any of this so thank you thank you!!
I just seeded / start of cucumbers
Summary: Don't let even one cucumber ripen to yellow. Also start new plants every 6 weeks because even if you pick every cucumber the plants won't like lasting the whole season
Awsome advice. Thank you. Really enjoy your videos.👍🏻🇨🇦
So pick them when they are green and don’t let it turn yellow? Makes sense. Surprised I could start more plants. Boy, Imam going to be busy!!
I never knew that.
WOW! I never knew that! ! ! ! My Grandparents were gardeners all their lives and we helped pick, but I doubt they knew this!
Well knock me over with a Feather ! ! ! I sure didn't know that . TX
That is great advice, cheers 🍻
How deep do raised beds need to be for cucumbers? Also, do you use anything like landscape fabric to keep your bed soil separate from your natural dirt? Great video!
I’m going to call you the cucumber whisperer. You are a cuke mind reader! Great advice, as usual! Thanks!
I have some melons was the same, haha, thanks for the tip,l never grow vegetables before,l used to grow flowers ，it's very different,bugs love fruits and vegetables haha,,, 😹 organic is fantastic 🤩
Thank you for the first tip, that's why my cucumbers died back after having two of them, I let them get too big on the vine and should have plucked them early. They just completely stopping growing after a certain point and developed mildew then browned and died off.
Do you use the seeds from your overgrown cucumbers to replant? loved the information thank you, new subbie here :-} Hi from Queensland Australia.
Very helpful, thanks so much! 🥒😀
This is my dream😍😍
Great video!
Thanks for the tips and tricks.
What a sweet doggie!
That makes me feel better that they are not a long-lived plant. I thought it was me.
