Thank you so much for this video. You're never too old to learn new things. I've seen those bugs but I never paid any attention to them. I have that damage on my leaves and thought it was a disease. Now I know and I will be spraying my new planting of cukes with my peppermint spray. Thanks again.

I'm glad I watched this. Some people are saying this pattern is downy mildew. I had my soap spray in the garden this morning - use it directly on cucumber beetles as it's the only way I've kept them under control this year - anyway......found a leaf hopper and gave it a squirt this morning too. Hope he's a gonner!!!! Gonna' go mix up my peppermint oil spray now! Thank you, Gary!!!

The leaves on one of my cucumber plants are developing white spots. I'm going to try the peppermint spray tonight!

[@lisalarson938]

Enjoy learning from you! Curious, did you not use your recommended spray mixture enough on your first cucumber plant? Looks like they were really attacked.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

So I missed a spray and went away. I get a bit burned out now. That combo was just too long. The damage was done. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

Omgoodness…I have so many of these on my flowers. Oddly, I thought they were harmless until earlier in the season when I suspected they were causing problems. I’ve never seen spider mites, but suspected them possibly, too. I have hand squished so many cucumber beetles and squash bugs. I’d go out early on with my head lamp just after dusk. It was nuts! I wasn’t able to save the squash plants…I did harvest two fruits though. Still not sure if it may have also been vine borers that got to them. Cukes, I had to stay on top of the bugs, but did get some harvesting in before/as they’re dropping like flies. I have some germinated to pop in their place…but, now I’m seeing some nymphs. 🤦‍♀️ some years seem so much worse than others, but I feel if I don’t start taking strong measures, I’ll forever have a fight on my hands and no worthwhile harvest. Do you happen to deal with the type of stink bug that causes internal damage for tomatoes? Harlequin bugs have moved in on the lacinato kale. Thinking I’d shorten it (in hopes it would re-sprought for fall) spray and net. The long spring and late onset of cabbage moth was really nice. -On my patch of curly kales, I wish I would have just dug it up and planted beans and then seeded another round indoors, to set out once the beans finished. I guess I’m realizing it may not be wise to attempt keeping kale growing through the summer. It does bounce back string after cutting it back, though. Lol, too many options can leave my head spinning 😅 but makes gardening a challenge that we love!!

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Leaf hoppers are pretty voracious eaters. Soapy water can kill stink bugs buts its tough not making it to strong so it doesnt damage leaves. Take notes of what the pest show up and start spraying 2 weeks early next year. That really helps.

[@ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

Ya know - this is so great. Those leafhoppers are eating between the leaf veins, creating an angular appearance. Many folks go straight too Mosaic virus - and then panic. Sometimes, it's just a pest and, with the right techniques, is totally manageable.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Exactly. It's their feeding pattern.

[@savagette74]

we have the rainbow leafhoppers, they are pretty but fast as heck lol. I have been treating all my plants with neem but if I see them getting bad I may have to add this, thanks

[@jackiehorsley9263]

Thanks for the video Gary I planted some cucumbers earlier in the season and that cucumber beetles just took over I sprayed my plants to kill them I think they just caught me off guard it's been so hot here too so I planted another round because I think they knew I was coming but I did get the start of one cucumber but I think it just didn't get pollinated very well because it never turned into a full cucumber so I guess I'm just going to try again because I want some cucumbers I'm going to grow the market more

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Cucumbers are great to keep planting. Good look with this round. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

[@tthappyrock368]

Marketmore are good! I've grown them in years past. Hope you get good results!

[@susanflaharty1724]

No insects yet. I have some hail damage to the cuke leaves. Some of the leaves are turning a bit yellow. Should I leave the damaged leaves or remove them?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

You can pinch them off. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

[@immitzime]

Good morning Gary. I went out one day to find Mexican bean beetle had done alot of damage on mine. I'll be pulling the vines but should I do anything to the soil? My research said they can overwinter in soil.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

What's hard is they over winter in and around and do fly in. SO you really cant do anything to fix the soil in any effective way. But note the date they showed and start spraying about 2 weeks early. That is the best way to prevent future problem. But you can direct seed a lot right now.

[@mygspaaht]

Thank you for the info…I don’t have the issue with the underside. My leaves appear to have something munching on them from the tip to the stem overnight. I have no idea what it could be.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Hmm not sure. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

[@virginian3390]

Your thoughts on spraying a kaolin clay solution on the leaves, particularly the undersides? I use that on my fruit trees every year.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

I am going to start doing that. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

[@lcm0578]

After you harvest the cukes and cut the leaves, what do you do with the leaves?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

To be honest, probably leave them in the path. They dry and crunch away. But I try to get them to compost. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

I got a late start with cucumbers(early June), and the plants are getting tall...with lots of MALE flowers...hardly any fruit. What causes this. I have fed regularly with a 5/10/10, Calcium/Mag, and amended the soil initially with leaf compost and fertilizer. They are in grow bags...so I have watered daily unless it rains a lot... Any thoughts?

[@inthetwinklingofaneye]

I just pulled out a big zucchini plant and planted seeds to start over. It, too, was only producing male flowers, after producing only one zucchini, and three unpollinated. the leaves were yellowish too. I didn't want to deal with it anymore. so now I'm excited to see how the new one will do. I still have a good couple of months of warm weather in 8b.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Nope. Just keep up the watering up. It is in Natures hand. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

[@tamaramiller288]

What is causing some of my cucumber plants to wilt?

[@inthetwinklingofaneye]

most likely they need more water. hot weather will make them wilt too. but check the soil first to see how wet it is. they love lots of water especially when they're producing.

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Always start with watering but they can get a virus. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

[@Elijah12459]

Are you still having this problem even with you spraying routinely?

[@THERUSTEDGARDEN]

Much less when I stay up on routine. They can damage very quickly over several day, so you have to keep watch. Visit my blog, The Rusted Garden Journal for more information and other garden articles: therustedgarden.blogspot.com/2023/07/how-to-make-mason-jar-herb-garlic-olive.html

If the oils work and you are selling it, why are your cucumbers so bad?
