We take our extra cucumbers and skin them then purée them and put them in ice cube trays and store them frozen in one gallon bags. Then we make limeade with it. I take 16 cubes and put in a half gallon jar add 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup line juice. After the cubes melt stir real good. It is so refreshing

Namaste, your very efficient and a highly warming spirit so great to encounter these days GOD BLESS YOU and your family

Love the flowers you have in the fabric pots! And look at those really tall sunflowers! I also love how you and Gary co-operate to bring great information to us and to support efforts to teach those who would otherwise not have any hands-on experience, which is so much different than only watching it on a screen! Love these cucumber growing tips! Got to have sweet refreshing cucumbers!

I just planted some pickling cucumbers today and plan on putting up some jars of dill pickles with them.

I understand what you mean about the hot weather you just sweat buckets Its been In the 90s here all week and Its going to be In the 100s this week end anyway I am growing cucumbers there out of your late summer garden seed packet

[@lisawilson8683]

I love your sunflower shirt!! I have a backpack that matches! 🌻🌻🌻

Tip 6: Right after harvest dip them in ice water to cool the interior temperature quickly. Makes them stay fresh longer.

Dear CaliKim, thank you for my order of Heat Tolerant Greens seeds and extra special seeds, I've had them for a while and needed to tell you I have them. God bless, from Sheila Washington in KCMo

I ordered the 70% sunlight and 30% shade cover..black from Amazon. Cucumbers seem to be going good. Also using worm tea.. I have had 100 degree weather for two weeks…

[@tillysgarden]

Thank you for the tips, Kim. I always learn so much from you.

This year, I will be growing 3 different types of cucumber from my usual. The dragon suhyo, the Armenian, and the lemon. I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

[@CaliKim29]

Great Candace ...and please do keep us posted, both here and/or on Insta!!!! Great job! Kim

[@melissakingery4393]

Hi @CaliKim I try to come for about 20 minutes on Monday's but I have voice at 2:30 so hard to watch so I catch the replay! Dealing with the 103 degree weather here!!

[@craigerwin4007]

@CaliKim29 thanks so much for this video! I was wondering how long from seeing tiny cucumbers - until harvest... I'm sure depends on the variety. I started some "munchers". Ty!

[@lisalt1655]

I don't see your Amazon link for shade cloth. Will you add it? Thanks for all of your gardening help!

[@glendathomas856]

I'd like to get 4 bags with the covers to compost my leaves and grass clippings

[@BethKiesel3n1]

Here in South Florida my cukes& squash are destroyed by pickle worms. Do you have any suggestions? I tried growing a parthenogenic variety, inside my screened lanai. It seems to be working, but this isn't really a final solution for me. Thanks so much, I love your upbeat style and your gorgeous garden!

[@maryelizabethcalais9180]

CaliKim, your videos are most informative and your presentation most professional, although entertaining:) Last night I watched the 2018 video on making cold compost in one of your fabric grow pots. I'm wondering how I would keep it protected from rodents and wild animals if they come into my yard. Tks for response :)

[@heherttu]

I added vermicompost to my raised beds last year. Used 3 round irrigation valve boxes per 4x8 bed. Seem to be working well so far. One of my raised beds is a sub irrigation or a wicking bed and the 3 others are normal raised beds (which need more frequent watering). No issues with animals.

[@randydeshane9991]

My backyard is 104 degrees so far on Tuesday.

[@pparvez2302]

Salaam alaikum parvez Aslam good thanks so much

[@kamalkholiya0001]

Awesome 😍 🥰 👌🏻 👌🏻

[@monetfaulkner5069]

Hi there from a very hot south Louisiana . Question: Can I use my frost blanket as a shade cloth too?

[@bonniep.5165]

I missed the live ~ but what do you use for mulch? Thank You!

[@juliehorney995]

Is there a difference in using a black vs light-colored shade cloth?

[@suewatters1]

I will be growing my cucumbers in Rubbermaid containers. I want to be able to plant 2 in the same container. What size container should I use? I have a few different sizes totes/containers from Rubbermaid. I want to plant 3 or 4 cucumbers plants in total. Thanks

[@missadkins5882]

It had gotten to 108 where I am today

[@michelleshlaen8982]

I'm growing Armenian cucumbers in a container pot in Southern California (highest temp has been 82 degrees) - after two months, I have beautiful, healthy leaves and LOADS of male flowers, but no female. Has anyone else encountered this and know how to troubleshoot?

[@lilmak889]

Are any of these varieties of cucumbers parthenocarpic?

[@dymonicreed7521]

My cucumber plant is not producing do you have any ideas on why or do I have all male flowers?

[@angelaraum1545]

My problem too. Happened to me last year. I found out there is a self pollinating of sort like tomatoes. Cucumbers & zucchini always do that.

[@nikkeyslips6937]

Sometimes it happens when they are stressed. Make sure you see watering consistently especially with this heat

[@shellystacy3476]

Let's get to the point.

[@jessewilson6213]

To much talk about nothing...not talking about the subject 🥒

[@elisawalsh7445]

Would you share your Instagram handle? This is helpful. I have my first garden and some of my cucumbers were bitter. Now I know what it do. Thank you!
