Grow Healthy Cucumbers & Prevent Yellowing

Tips, Tricks

1. Cucumbers like water, when there are a lot cucumbers on the plants, water them every morning or evening after you pick up the adult cucumbers. The yellow ones are for seeds, they are old. We usually make the cucumbers grow on verticals, easy to water by row, the cucumber will not feel too much water even after running.
2. Love the Community Garden! Been meaning to ask you, as a Houstonian here, wanting to find some good fruit trees... Where do you get yours? There's a place in Rosenberg, do you have experience with them?
3. how often should we water in Houston?
4. Is it a bad idea to water cucumbers for your neighbors plot if they look sick?
5. I am I. Southern washington
6. So how often to water?
7. yellow cukes that big - they are RIPE. that's when you can open it up and save the seed so you can plant more next season.
8. I need help! My cucumber plant is about 3 feet tall. Using the trellis to grow them upward rather than on the floor. They look healthy and all its just one concern I have. They seem to be splitting at the base I've looked it up online but no sure answers. I water them daily the leaves are dark green every once in a while a leaf will look deformed which has never happened before but anyway if you have any advice that'd be cool John Koehler is too busy to answer questions these days
9. Do you have any advice for squash vine borer bugs? I lost my entire 58 plant cucumber crop to them, then my zuchini, then my various squash plants, now its my cantaloupe plants they are attacking. I spend around a hour and a half each day picking them off by hand and murdering them. Tried two different organic pestacides. Yet its still a losing battle, i cant keep up enough to save my plants let alone keep any of the "fruits" or flowers alive long enough to get a harvest. Tried putting pantyhose on the "fruits" too but they chew right through it to get in.
10. great video! I myself am having problems with some newly planted cucumber plants. the leaves are starting to turn white. it's not powdery but just some white coloring on the leaves. what could be causing this? keep the videos coming!
11. hi Jeff. I live. Quail Run located in Missouri City, Texas. im so glad to have found your channel. where is your community garden located?
12. It is difficult growing cucumbers in direct sun from Texas (Austin), it gets so hot they wilt when the temps are even in the 70's! Had to place them under a canopy and I hope they give me plenty of fruit.
13. We had heavy rains in Florida last year and a couple of my cucumbers turned yellow/orange. I did save them for seed and those seedlings are about 4" tall. I should be planting soon and hope for a great cucumber harvest.
    
    Jeff, do you use the same nutrients when planting your vegetables as your tomato video, ie, Epsom salts, Fish bone meal and Calcium nitrate? I am new to your channel but enjoying the benefit of your experience and knowledge. Thank you, Nancy
14. use that yellow one for next years seed?
15. Great gardenguy an like you technique want learn more for Dave
16. That over ripe orange/yellow cucumber was perfect matured veg. That would be a best machine plant item for quality seed savings! Hope you saved them seeds!
17. Hi Jeff, i have a small garden in my home and i have crickets  all over in my garden and i think they eating my plants , what can i do ? i need same help ...please,thank you.
18. I just re read my post. I sounded like a know it all. Was unintentional
19. ok people here are some thoughts from an organic produce grower. I'v many ag degrees and have been a farmer for 40 years. Rain has nothing to do with cukes getting yellow. You won't get sick if u eat them. In fact they make great toung pickles. If u pick daily or every other day at least they wont turn yellow.
20. NO save that old yellow Cucumber and harvest the seeds and save for next year !
