  • @OldManJeff
    I didn’t expect to get so emotional. I just wanted some cheerful gardening tips.
  • @juliekovach9784
    I've never seen a gardener anthropomorphize cucumbers before, but you made your point! Well done!
  • @janetownley
    The mistake is letting cucumbers stay on the vine after they’re ready to harvest.
  • @dos-fslady3140
    Eureka ... you cracked the code!!!! I am an old lady -- granddaughter of farmers -- and everything I plant inside or outside the house absolutely thrives ... except the cucumbers after we've been on a short vacation, or when I've overlooked a cucumber hidden behind the foliage. Thank you for this invaluable information. I plant "Summer Dance" cukes, and they are never bitter. Sweet and crisp. Thank you so very much.
  • @goodaskale
    I had no idea that cucumbers suffered from such anxiety! 🤣 Great video!
  • @Skyshell7
    I had no idea cucumbers were that existential. I was wondering what was going on with my cucumber plants. Great advice! Subscribed!
  • @arnoldm889
    I brought mine back by taking it to a tony robbins seminar. It decided to keep living to become an artist.
  • @Robert-vh2cl
    If you’re a new gardener, don’t get discouraged. Keep searching till you find a solution. Great info here. I would add trellising your cucumbers on an angle to make it easier not to miss any cucumbers. Garden on fellow cultivators of the earth! 😊
  • You are so right! I didn’t realize this until this summer. My husband and I can never eat all of the cucumbers that I grow. Even though I give plenty away to neighbors, I always seem to miss a few on the vine. This summer, I have had some workers doing a small construction project for me. I told them that they could take whatever they wanted and bring it home to their families. They diligently check every cucumber, squash, and tomato plant before they leave, and the plants are fruiting more than ever.
  • @lizxu322
    "it no longer has a reason to live". So true, direct, and brutal. Youre mu fave gardening youtuber, keepnup the great work!
  • @niquesavings1300
    Don’t allow them to turn yellow. Check it daily so it doesn’t get too mature. Succession plant new seeds every 6-7 weeks. Got it, thank you
  • @MrsBuggs
    All my gardening life I thought I was a cucumber failure. So much so that I stopped trying to grow them. You sir are doing the Lord’s work. New subscriber here!
  • I love the way you get right to the meat of the issue. No unnecessary info. Only facts. Thank you!
  • @ixeyeb
    5 year gardener here, and I just learned something today!! Thank you for sharing this simple yet so important tip. New subscribers as well! Happy gardening!
  • @user-gh8sl7iu3y
    Thanks for showing how you pull out the entire root and can reuse the same planter if the plant died naturally. It’s the little things like that which help us newbies.
  • @Norene_Re
    OH MY!!! That's exactly what happened to my cucumbers last year!!! The year before I had a wonderful harvest!! Last year I was so busy and did cut off yellow cucumbers and I recall being so upset that regardless of what I was doing, my plants were dying!! 🙏 Thank you SOOO much for this information ❤️
  • I just started growing cucumbers this year and have watched countless videos. I feel like I got more out of this one video than all others. Bravo 👏 great video! Thanks 😊
  • I love how to the point this video was, not filled with useless jabbering. I appreciate it! Ive learned a lot, thanks so much!
