Planting and Caging Cucumber - May 2015

Tips, Tricks

1. I wish my soil was that loose. Have enough clay it gets like concrete if not damp. You have nice loam soil. I can't say dirt as I was told dirt is what you sweep up or wash off. haha .I could mix in compost and additives "till the cows come home" and it hardly makes a dent in it. Our soil is more alkaline in Colorado.
2. ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO WILL TRY BE TRYING IT OUT SOON THANKS FOR THE TIPS AYUH
3. I am in Slidell and planted my Dixondale Creole red onion plants  in December, only 3 bolted oyt of 80.I think with the early planting and the warm winter that one of the cold snaps must have triggered dormancy then warm winter came and they thought they were in there second spring!
4. Just curious,how close did you plant your Cucumbers to your Squash? Reason i ask is because there was a cage standing beside where you planted em but i wasn't sure if it was the same one you hung a minute or two for the Cucumbers. Did the Cucumbers tastes ok if it was? They didn't turn out bitter?
5. Hey webcagun does it help you if we watch the commercial? if it does I'll watch them. I like you CH.
6. Mr. Donald, any advice to get rid of ants in my okra patch? Little boogers keep biting holes in my ready to cut okra. At my wits end here.

14. Donald do you like the raised beds better.  I know that helps keep you off the ground.  I;m thinking about the raised beds myself
15. hey Donald
16. That Hook n Crook hoe does the trick!  I was told that you give the plant a little baking soda water if you burn them with fertilizer. Don't know why or if it even works but my grandmother always did it. She was notorious for over fertilizing everything! lol
