I never knew to prune my cucumbers?! 🥒

Maybe that's why I didn't get a good harvest last year? I did some research on it and let's try it out this year and see if we get a better harvest!

THANK YOU TAKING THE TIME TO TEACH US

Look how hardy your cukes are. Nothing tastes better than homegrown. I never pruned my cukes, and they grew like a weed! These are great tips to share with my daughter. Unfortunately, there are no more gardens in condo living . Tfs

[@FarmsteadDream]

I know, right! I'm so excited about them and I can't wait to make some pickles! Definitely ... homegrown always tastes so much better. Mine did too, but then they got sick and dies way too soon in the season! I'm hoping this helps these plants to last longer and be healthy. Definitely share with your daughter. You could throw some veggies in pots on a patio or deck of a condo? Just a thought. Big Hugs

What a great video on pruning - I never did this - might try this - thanks.

[@FarmsteadDream]

Thank you so much ☺️ it's my first time trying it too, but so far they're loving it and growing like crazy!

[@charlescoker7752]

You can also put soil up around the stems for more roots.

[@FarmsteadDream]

Great tip! Thank you 👍 I didn't realize you could do it with cucumbers, but it makes sense because I do that with tomatoes

[@tomatoespoppieseverything]

They look awesome!

[@FarmsteadDream]

Thank you so much! I think there just might be something to this! tfw

[@chompers11]

Ridiculously helpful and informative. Can you do pumpkins next? 😂

[@donnarichey144]

We were always told do not touch them with your hands it kills the leaves and they do. Yet you are touching all over.

[@FarmsteadDream]

Oh wow. I've never heard that. I've always touched them and I haven't ever had a problem with it. I will keep that in mind, though. Thanks

[@-3-D-]

Those leaves 🍃 would be better to leave in the garden for composting

[@FarmsteadDream]

I agree, but I was afraid it would cause more pests so I just add them to my compost pile

[@chompers11]

How old are they? What did you feed them? Mine are SO small haha. Mid to low 40s at night 😢

[@FarmsteadDream]

I started them in March and fed them banana tea ... check out my other video about how to make it! It will take longer to grow at that temp!

[@jenmv3483]

It would be good to know in your videos what zone your in please?

[@FarmsteadDream]

Oh! Absolutely. Thanks for the tip. I am in zone 7a-7b. tfw

[@annahudson4087]

can barely hear you, please up your volume

[@FarmsteadDream]

I'm so sorry. I have a new microphone and I'm still trying to figure it out. I will try to do better. tfw
