HOW TO PRUNE YOUR CUCUMBER PLANTS FOR BEST PRODUCTION.

[@leemager128]

Wow, I did this pruning what a difference from last week! I have tons of cucumbers! Thank you Patti! You are my go to for all our growing info. My mentor!

Very nice video tips how to prune your cucumber , thank for sharing to us such amazing experience .

I am so glad I came across this vid. Thank you for making the parts if the plant as you trimmed them. This was a great visual. I've got to get outside and start trimming my cucumbers.

Hello my dear thanks a lot for sharing . It's tutorial and inspirations. Stay safe and connected please

[@heartmomma6460]

I'm jealous of your Greenhouse. Awesome. How fun. Are you sisters or good friends? I love your videos. It would be awesome if you grew a few outside in a typical outdoor garden *not growing up a string*. Then make a video next year. That way I could get a better idea "how to" in my typical poor woman's garden. The pepper video took me a cpl times to watch to grasp since mine are not on a string. Still very informative and actually one worth viewing. Thank you. God Bless You Tube (and people like you) for teaching me about gardening. I wished I would have watched & learned more from my Grandparents when they were alive. All my knowledge has been aquired via You Tube videos.

Wow that a lot of cukes and blueberry bushes!!! You’re so lucky! I planted my first garden this year and even though I hate hot humid weather, I found I had rather be outside doing garden work than monotonous housework!!!

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Missi R Isn't it amazing how relaxing it is? Love to hear of people getting outside to garden. Such a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for watching! ☺ Patti

[@RameyRocks]

Spring Hill Farms yes it is. It’s kind of hard on me because I have herniated and bulging discs but I’ve lost 45 pounds since January and it has helped me be able to do more things and for longer. I like the fact that when you do the jobs in the garden, you know you’ve accomplished something and when you’re done for the day, you’re done. Unlike housework where you look around at all the tedious things that need doing and you don’t know where to begin and there is no end!!

[@BusyBeaver22]

Great looking garden. Good information about the pruning of the cukes

Thank you for your video. I started my first veggie patch in September 2019 and its now March 2020. My cucumber plants weren't growing many cucumbers and now your video has shown me how to prune so i can get the most of my cucumbers. Hopefully now that ive pruned it, got rid of the half eaten leaves and leaves with larvae on it, hopefully itll grow really well.

[@MsLindy57]

Thank you. I’m glad you had some long growth points to demonstrate what to look for and how to cut them. I’ll be pruning mine tomorrow. My cucumbers are growing in the ground. I noticed you have plastic on the bottom of the plant. Should I be doing something like that even though I don’t have a greenhouse.

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

the plastic helps keep weeds down and moisture in. you don't have to do this, but just be sure to keep the soil moist all times. cucumbers love water, but not standing water.

I read somewhere that for cucumbers layering firtilizer under the plants was better How do you fertilize your cucumbers? Thank you

[@mattuk1310]

@ 3:15 your cutting off a branch and say its producing everything....does that branch your cutting off produce any cucumbers ?...if so why not leave it for the production ..or does it help the plant get taller / direct more energy towards fruit ?.. i'm growing straight 8 inch on cement lattice frames .HOPE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU ....> Thanks for sharing

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

+Mat Tuk yes it does produce cucs as well, but it is a large growth point which had to come off. Otherwise you will have vines growing in all directions and your production won't be as good on the main vine. Hope this makes sense. Lol

[@mattuk1310]

thank x for th reply ....Okay that what i'll try doing seems like i get lots of leaves that just hide cucumbers anyway...any tips on them bugs that seem to find these plants ?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

Thank you so much. The string hooks are called tomahooks. They are very simple to use and very affordable. If you Google them, you can research all questions you may have about them. We also use tomato clips to secure the vines to the string. I hope this helps!🙂

What about the tendrils? Do you prune those as well?

Everyone on the East coast prunes their veggies so much! Here in Napa California I believe we don’t have to prune cucumbers and tomatoes like you. I guess the old saying is true! All gardening is LOCAL!!!

[@joelegrand5903]

This month I will be 59 year old/ born 1960 & have been growing cucumbers for over 40 years in a outside garden. I like planting them on outside of the tomatoes cage. I have never had any side vine or problem getting enough fruit. The coffee chaff compost is to blame for the great harvest. Still no side vine, you must have a new fango Hybrid cucumber.

[@2001callie]

Loved the Video . Where do you get those clips that hold the vines up ?

[@pilotactor777]

Please get more specific about fruit tendrils and growth point. I'm a beginner

[@harrygatto]

Only allow the main stem of the plant to grow and remove all the "branches" as this the plant trying to spread out far and wide. In this video there is plenty of height available to do that but sometime you can leave one or two sideshoots if you have the space for the plant to spread. Be careful not to accidentally remove the flower shoots or small fruits. Cucumbers are very forgiving plants so will recover easily. Start new plants a month apart during the growing season so as not to get all your cucumbers at the same time.

[@memberson]

Hello good job, question I have all these cucumber plants tied up with string if so are they tied at the base and then wrapped around the string?

[@Growwiththelaplantes]

Hello, Thank you so much! When you start to tie your cucumbers, you want to start at the bottom under the strongest leaf and clip the string to the main stem of the plant with the tomato clips I show in the video.... be sure the tension isn't super tight but tight enough to hold in place, you will then clip about every foot or so, but again be sure to clip under a strong leaf to prevent the clip pulling up and clipping around your flower sets. once you have clipped up to the main overhead string wire, you will then start dropping and lean and loop as you will see in my other videos. I really hope this makes sense to you, but if not, please feel free to ask any other questions you may have. I am going to do a more in depth video on this when we start transplanting our cucumbers which will hopefully be the first week in may, and we will walk everyone through each step. Thank you for your great question! Have a great weekend, Patti
