Nice!
My cucumbers are being attacked. By what is unknown. I’ve searched for cucumber beetles and loop worms and haven’t found one. I have my cucumbers trellised and whatever is eating leaves and flowers is mostly attacking the leaves and flowers at the top of the 6 foot trellis. I am at a complete loss. Any clues what else it might be? Thanks. Also, they only seem to be attacking the Armenian cucumbers only
i plan to grow these to shade my lawn out a bit. really pretty plants. great video!
I love it! 6.95 on there there website
Is that pvc pipes
Yes
If you do not want to "paint" your jars another option I saw on a different site was to use black socks.
The members of our town FB page know I grow so they always hmu when they have them. Very handy 😊
I'm new to gardening. I have only tomato plants. They have never been outside. They are about 7 inches tall and have maybe 15 leaves. The biggest one has leaf curl and I have no idea why. I did water it a little more than usual two days ago. Could that be it? Thank you for the video. I made sure to like it.
I cut plastic milk crates to hold my seedlings containers and I can dip the crates to fully soak my seedlings as they are starting in my old recycling beverage containers . Beverage containers and milk crates are repurpose and FREE ❤
Hey! Great idea...thx!❤
What is the purpose of using the weights?
It simulates them being underground, encourages them to grow stronger and push through the soil! They are optional though

thank you
I have a scroll shaped design in leaves. Any ideas? I have them growing vertically and support
What a lovely plants 🪴 Like 107 My friend thank you for good sharing Have a good relationship
💚
thank you !
Great video. I love growing Elephant Ears, they are so pretty. Thanks for the information.
I think mine keep doing on me because they’re not cuttings. I transfer from soil to water. Maybe that shocks the plant.
according to my research on xylem an phloem of plants, the fact about the plants needing "rest" is a myth, what you should really focus on are three main aspects:: thermal output revelant to distance of plant to bulb - u can feel this out using your hand as all plants prefer tepid temperatures they amount of zylem and phoem(read as plant blood) in the plant body relative to the amount of nutrients and moistures drawable in the soil relative the to plants size of leaf - and what your adjusting here is the amount of time to put the plant to full intenstity grow light to dimmed grow light in alternation - a automatic slow phase medium swap time dimmer switch with adjustable variable nobs would be extremely usefull here and finally the loam soil and saturation of the soil itself, since 100% of plants are nitrate based youll want something thats rich in protean nitrogen and calcium to automatically balance as well as natural earth minerals, if u want to go ultra extreme i recommend fermented hotdogs, egg shells, and diatamaceous earth as very fine blended earth mix, but an approximation for far cheaper would be red indian clay, shell powder, and very expired meat such as very expired chicken liver{make sure to dry the liver or it will grow mold} and you can mix in normal fine soil
this is because the pulling and pushing of the plants blood as the xylem moves towards the interactions is the actual source of the growth of the plants
My wife keeps saying sunlight and I am agreed with you partly sun more shade.And we'll add more fertilizer Thanks Geek Lady
Short and sweet :)
Mine are taking over the raised flower bed. I’m going to take all of them out! Beautiful, but invasive.
They do spread quickly in the right environment! You can also dig them up, store the bulbs, and then plant them in large pots next season to contain them.
I had them for 30 yrs, starting out w 1 bulb. After yrs of digging up 1000's of bulbs I got rid of every single one of them. Mine multiplied prolifically. I'm in Lincoln NE. These things look cool, but they took up more and more of my yard every yr, and then in the fall I had to make room for them to over winter. Definitely a good plant for someone w brown thumbs. The last year that I planted them, I had probably about 20 bulbs left not know where to put in my yard, I dug around the base of mature pine tree in heavy clay/packed limestone gravel, that use to be a gravel driveway. I didn't think they'd do well there because it's high + dry area, I ended up with 100 new bulbs from that one spot in the fall.
Oh wow! Some varieties (including C.esculenta is considered invasive in certain areas), so growing them in pots will help contain them. Sounds like they do well in your climate!
Gardening helps us stay healthy as we get older! Keeping plants under control can sometimes be overwhelming.

Love the video thanks for the information. Have you ever found any grow lights that are better at a distance I’m trying to find one to go under a shelf, but I need to clear at least 2 to 3 feet before the plants.
I'm not personally fond of cucumbers but I love butternut squash, which seems to have many of the same appearance and characteristics. I've so far used direct sow or just gotten volunteers (which have done better yet -- because they grew out of old compost and seem to love very rich soil). The only real problem I've had has been powdery mildew in late summer. Do you expect most cucumber tips carry over to squashes?
I like how you roll so subbbed! Thanks!🙏🏻❤️😉
Hello and thank you. Nice information. Take care
I had the worst diseased cucumbers ever this year from all the rain. I couldn't keep up with it. I only got to can 4 qts of pickles. Thank you for this video it was really helpful and I will keep this for next year!

Funny how a radish grown in your garden,, is actually worth eating.😊
Did I miss the part where you told us what brand kaolin clay works & how to mix??
No, but we use surround WP Kaolin clay, and they recommend 1-2 cups per gallon of water, and you need to agitate it regularly while spraying (it is not water soluble)
I'm in zone 8b in east Texas and it's HOT. Been mid 90's to 100 every day. My cucumbers in large pots were dying and horribly wilting. I covered 40% shade cloth and in about a week they recovered, but I'm finding those yellowing and dying leaves and spots, especially at the bottom of the plant.
I've heard the same, have yet to start an asparagus patch
What is the output light color of this brand, warm light or white? Thank you
Soak clean banana peels for about a day or two pour the water that has been soaking into plant
HEY Pepper Geek! I didn't know you re an Everything geek, too!😄🌶🫑Thanks for the info!🥒
Hey there, happy you found our other channel :)
After several videos and one attempt at growing....I am thankful to find your very easy to watch video and important information I needed to try again.
Happy to hear that! Good luck, hope you're successful 🌱
What about the people in the Caribbean
The absolute easiest crop I've grown yet has to be green onions, just regrown from the cut off ends of store bought ones. After regrowing them in a jar of water for a bit and then planting them in ground, they took off! It's been a couple of years now and they're still going strong, reseeding themselves and even giving me a small harvest of little white onion bulbs this summer! I disagree with peppers being one of the easiest crops to grow, at least they haven't been for me 😅 I think the main reason is how easily they are damaged by too much direct sun. Maybe it's easier after a few years of fine tuning, or depending on your climate, but not really the most fool proof for a beginner in harsher summer zones.
Plse don't mislead us..Peas/ beans are not so easy to grow.they are rotting and sometimes even don't germinate...
Fresh, high quality seeds can make a big difference for germination, and soaking seeds overnight. In our experience, they have been a breeze to grow here in New England
Music, Chesnock RED, and, Northern White, are what I grow, up in Boston area for Garlic. Usually Peppers are a success, but my tiny seedlings got hit w some infestation, about 2-3 weeks before transplanting out.
Asparagus super simple but need patience to harvest for years to come.
I've heard the same, have to try starting a patch soon!
Chives are the easiest plant and adds delicious to potatoes and more
I couldn't agree more!
Totally agree about the Jimmie Nardelos, but I have to recommend the Zulu pepper. Super prolific and tastes better than Bell peppers. BTW I'm in 7b central Arizona.
great stuff - thanks!!
Glad you liked it! 😊
Odly enough I haven't pruned my cucumbers at all this sesson and they are still producing. I did have to put a fences around them to stop rabbits.
So do I do this when the package says sow in late fall? Such as self heal seeds
Yes, if it says to plant in fall then it's a good candidate for winter sowing
@@geekygreenhouse I guess I am just getting confused between the words fall and winter.2 different seasons
