How to Grow MORE Cucumbers (Expert Tips)

Excellent presentation! English is my second language and I was pleasantly surprised to understand everything in detail. No where else I could find such a thorough explanation about all parts of the plant, the pollination and tips about healthy growth and rich harvest. Thank you so much!!

There is nothing better than fresh cucumbers and tomatoes out of the garden.

You are my go to master gardener. Your presentations are always excellent, informative and easy to understand. Thank you for all you do for us aspiring to have healthy and productive gardens.

I feel like I'm in a gardening class 😆. Thank you Gardener Scott for your expert tips.

Fantastic, succinct, and informative video. Thank you, Gardener Scott!

I’m back for a refresher course. I had my best cucumber harvest last year after listening to your advice. This year, starting tomorrow, I’ll plant my succession cucumbers.

Thank you for your help,I love growing my own vegetables, it’s my favorite hobby and the vegetables seem to taste more better than store bought ones,,haha, just fun going out to your own garden and finding some wonderful veggies!, the pruning is one thing I am just learning, and have been wondering how to do,,so thanks again ❤ North Carolina girl,

You are a wonderful teacher. If you were my instructor in college I may have stuck around.

I never knew about pinching off suckers in a cucumber plant. Thanks for the tips Gardener Scott. I have planted lots of cosmos and other flowers to bring in more pollinators.

Been thinking about whether or not to prune the suckers. After watching this, I’m on my way out the door with pruners in hand. Nice video!

Very helpful! This might be the first successful year for cucumbers in my garden. I’ve tried for 3 years; Third time’s the charm!

You have the best gardening videos on youtube. Good job!

Your T-shirt is LITERALLY what's up

After more than 40 years of growing my own vegetables I am still looking for tips to improve my gardening I love this video. You explain every detail very clearly and wisely. One thing that I plan to do next year is to include some flowers in my veggie garden to attract more pollinators to my cucumber plants. This year was the first time that I did staggered planting of my indeterminate English cucumbers. 3 weeks after planting my first set of seedlings that I raised indoors, I put more seeds in between the already growing vines on each side of my arched trellis. After watching your video I realized that I should have planted the seedlings on just one side of the trellis and later planted the seeds directly in the ground on the other side of the arched trellis. Regardless of my mistake, I am enjoying a second harvest. I am doing the same staggering with my pole green beans.

I want to echo others' comments that this was the most thoroughly explained video on the growing habit of cucumbers. I knew there were two basic types of cucumbers, but I never understood what the difference between a slicing and a pickling cucumber was. Equipped with the information you have given me I'll have more success in the garden.

i learned a ton from your video; pinching out new branches, keeping lower branches and leaves off the ground, growing vertically, improving air circulation. I love cukes and didn't know that hidden maturing cukes would shut my plants down. This gives me hope that i will have a better crop this year. Thanks!

I really enjoy meeting you in the garden, Mr Scott. Thank you for the channel.

this felt like a good lecture

Thanks Gardener Scott - so calm and pleasant in your presentation. Very clear and detailed also! Loving these tips!!!

I just want to say THANK YOU Gardener Scott! I love going back to these videos as a guide. I am planning on starting some cucumbers from seed today and I have a new bed with a similar setup as yours to eventually plant them in. Your vids are so informative and inspiring. CHEERS!
