Growing CUCUMBERS and the SECRET to SUCCESS - SEED to HARVEST Garden Documentary -

[@bizzybee852]

I have been gardening for years and I watch lots of gardening, homesteading, and farming channels on KZbin that I enjoy, but they are usually filled with information I already know. But I always learn something new when watching your videos. Your channel offers a wonderful combination of gardening information, history, beautiful vintage illustrations, and entertainment that I really enjoy. I also love antiques and vintage items and enjoy seeing the many beautiful antique/vintage items you collect and use in decorating your home. As a former owner of an advertising agency, I recognize and appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into producing such aesthetically pleasing videos, thank you.

[@suburbanhomestead]

I’m so pleased to hear you appreciate the effort put into the videos. My goal was to give a different perspective to how we interact with plants, and to hopefully inspire us to green up the spaces around us. Thank you so much for the kindness and the positive feedback.

[@mariefriedmann3203]

I concur!!!! The best vegetable documentary I’ve seen, anywhere.

absolutely mind blowing documentary Siloe, thank you so much. who knew cucumbers had such a rich history

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks brother. And thanks for the shout out! It is fascinating how food is entwined with culture.

[@jamesfrederick.]

Yeah I love the history but personally, I’ll never grow any crop I’ve got to continue to replant every year I’m much more of a fruit person and if you do you’re research you will find plenty of trees that will yield continues food with out the need for replanting over and over again.”how ever it takes way more space and time to grow rare trees of course”

It was very timely for THIS Gardener, as I've also wondered why some years are great for my cucumbers, and some not so great. I learned SO much about how to give my cucs the best possible chance of thriving. Especially helpful was the information abt why the fruit sometimes doesn't fully develop. I'm having that problem this year for the first time. THANK you. 💗

I love that glass you have your seeds germinating in. That is such a good idea. I think I will find something similar to use instead of Ziploc bags.

[@suburbanhomestead]

It is so much easier to clean as well, and will last a life time (after its initial lifetime as a decorative dish only) I got it for 1 dollar at a flea market and it is the perfect size to fit a saucer. You can pour some water under the saucer, creating a humid environment without drowning out the seed.

[@FumblingwithFlowers]

I laughed so hard my eyes literally teared up.. This was such an unexpected, entertaining video. Talking to the mirror was hilarious. The cat eye becoming a cucumber seed pushed into the ground then into a roulette wheel was jaw-droppingly brilliant! An overwhelming plethora. I can’t imagine how long it took you to do just the first two minute and I imagine without an unsung team of people to help you unlike other channels. To answer your feedback request, I found your channel by actively searching KZbin for "garden design" and "before and after" garden videos as I am pretty new to the pleasures of gardening and need some inspiration and guidance. I’m subscribing to your channel because you share your experiences in an expertly artistic way yet with a relatable and infectious childlike wonder. This is what I personally like best. Thank you!

[@siamsurf]

@@suburbanhomestead what a great video. Your question at the end is a tough one... if only one of these amazing video get recommended by Google, it would probably get you as many new subscribers, as you'd get by having a gardening channel with regular updates. Also, once people discovered one of them, chances are the others will get more and more views, too. If you are happy with where you are, and with what you are doing/producing, then please continue. These high quality videos are a real treat! If you want to grow you channel "organically", I think you should make more videos where it's just you and your garden, or you and whatever interests you. I like that you cook a dish at the end... maybe share some good and bad cooking experiments with us. What I am trying to say is: I watch all your videos, because I like the person in the videos, and I think that's the case for many. p.s. I actually got a bit of anxiety, each time I saw you sitting between the strings. That vase with flowers looked like it would fall, had you made one wrong move. :-)

[@suburbanhomestead]

@@siamsurf glad you liked it. So far my biggest hurdle is getting a breakthrough video that has a very high click-through rate. That means I need to find a thumbnail and title that attracts a large percentage of people. It’s refreshing to hear you understand what I’m trying to get to with these unconventional gardening video. The internet is full of great and informative normal gardening videos, so I don’t see a point of repeating that over and over again. I’m more interested in taking viewers on a journey of reflection. Also, yes, the whole living room was one move away from disasters while I was filming the string scenes.

[@siamsurf]

@@suburbanhomestead Try getting in touch with some of the bigger gardening, homesteading, etc. channels. I am sure all of them would send people to each of these video, latest when they are growing salads, sugar beets, cucumbers, ... :-) I will definitely plug your videos in future comments, whenever the subject matches.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Delightful video! My grandma had the most wonderful garden for decades in which she grew cucumbers every year to pickle (the best pickles in the world!) and this was out in North Dakota, where every winter it gets as cold as -25f and for many months sees snows as deep as 6-8 feet. It also has really hot summers, upwards of 105-110f for several months on end. I think the reason her veggies were so healthy and delicious was because the soil was really good- jet black and super soft.

[@anikac8380]

This was a fun, exceptional video! I wanted to suggest alfalfa meal pellets as fertilizer to improve your cucumber yields. A 40 pound bag is about $12 at Farm supply stores, and that’s enough for several years. 3 to 5 pounds of pellets fertilizes a 100 square-foot area. The more interesting and useful aspects of alfalfa meal is that alfalfa contains a naturally occurring plant hormone which stimulates vigor and resistance in other plants. That boost could be especially useful in helping your cucumbers get ahead of cutke beetles And disease, this making the most of what your garden has to offer. While most people probably stir the pellets into the top few inches of soil as they prepare the seabed in spring, IA I do it in the fall, because I use a lazy continuous, deep mulch system. I broadcast the pellets in the fall after clearing the garden beds, then mulch my beds knee-deep with shredded leaves and grass cuttings. The mulch usually persists until July. Alfalfa meal pellets only need to be used Every other year, once per year at most. Research has demonstrated that multiple applications in a season to the same plants do not improve results. Hormones don’t work that way. Why do you leave the kale too flower the next year? I understand that bees need flowers to forage, but the kale was hogging essential real estate at your cucumbers expense. Dandelions are far more bountiful forage crop for bees, and can grow in the lawn. Also, borage is a glorious bee plant. A couple of borage plants in my garden are enough to provide a rave for bees. Lemon balm, Melissa officinalis, is also an excellent B crap, but it is an aggressive perennial and not a good fit for my small food plots.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thanks for the tip on the alfalfa. I’ll try to find some for my other beds as well. I let the kale flower to save seeds for micro greens.

I’d love to read your further feedback as well, but yes, I had to do that precisely not to lose the gardening people because of algorithm, although I may have to dial back the length in the future.

Such a lovely presentation. Who knew that the cucumber had such an interesting history. Thank you and missed your U-tube vlogs.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Glad you enjoyed it!

The quality of the editing alone is astounding!

[@SuperLambini]

Thank you for this video. I feel so much better about my struggles with cucumber. I had no idea! I appreciate your hard work to bring us this beautiful story unmatched by anything else I have seen on YT

[@annecrisp7818]

As a gardener, I find your channel a great sauce of understanding as to why I sometimes fail with certain plants and vegetables... cucumber is one of them.. Peruvian hot day weather mixed with night cold sea breeze and salty air does not help. Thank you keep the stories coming...😊

Hello Siloé, I most definitely enjoyed the video! I appreciate the time, effort and research to bring it to life. By the clips of you tending your cucumbers I could see your garden is extending and blooming just as your other garden. The previous garden was so much more developed as it happens year to year. Gardeners that video or photograph our garden can see the progress from one year to the next. I missed you! 😉💗

I just stumbled upon your content and I simply can believe how well researched, produced, and beautifully made work of art your videos are.

[@kyleharris2844]

The production value of this video is insane! You truly seem like you’re in the zone.

[@katierobinson5464]

Your best yet! Thank you for sharing such a work of art.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thank you so much 😀

[@MelanieRodriguez-ge8mr]

Such beautiful production of cinematography and art interwoven amongst the historical narrative. Bravo! Greatly enjoyed and appreciated.

[@gardengrrlWendy]

You know, you create absolutely BRILLIANT content! Thank you SO much!!! One of my very favorite youtube gardeners, hands down!!!

[@zsandmann]

Your illustrations and animations always remind me of Good Eats. You’re becoming quite the food anthropologist!

[@suburbanhomestead]

That is always a great comparison. It was a great show. Thank you so much

[@user-travelbug79]

Love how this video started out by talking to yourself - I see myself! I'm doing two rows of hoop houses this year; a new strategy to fight off the deer. I planted Lemon Cucumber last year; it was a success... more of those this year. Thank you for including such great information in your videos.

[@elizaa8071]

I love your new videos. Truly a work of art. My most enjoyable gardening videos to watch.

[@suburbanhomestead]

Thank you so much.
