I leased a half acre of irrigated ground in South east Washington this fall. I am a Forester by trade and starting a small farm is a new endeavor even though I've been exposed to farming. Your videos have been very insightful. It will save me from countless green horn errors this upcoming growing season. Thank you!

To stop cutworms my father taught me to use strips of news paper . You wrap a piece about 2 inches wide around the stem about 1/2" below the soil . I do this to my tomatoes also . Great way to recycle sale flyers just do not use gloss paper does not break down fast or hold water.

I enjoyed watching those cucumber tips! I usually grow slicers but I got a pickling crock for Christmas so I want to add some pickling cucumbers next season. I have noticed that tilling the soil before planting does away with cutworms. Klaus

You could pre sprout your seed then direct seed them. I don't know how this scales but it seems like it would work.

I think I'll start in 4" pots instead of a 72 cell this year 👍

Great info as always. What are those mini scissors/secateurs/sheers called? I have seen people using them before, but cant find them to buy

[@ShaggtyDoo]

I'm guessing these t posts are 10 feet apart.

i find clips are easier than weaving, possibly breaking stem.

more like gherkins than cucumbers, at least cucumbers that we eat :)
