Great video, CaliKim29, as always, you keep things clean, organized, economical, simple but effective, very inspiring! Love to see you sharing your gardening ideas, I have used many of them with great success! I'm going to grow cucumbers this year in 5 gallon containers (got some Bush Cucumbers to try that way), and continue growing others in a bigger container that I use. Unfortunately, squirrels invaded my garden last year, and I think they enjoyed more of my cucumbers than I realized ("Why are there so many fewer cukes this year when the plants are doing great!?"). So that's a challenge ... but your video reminded me I need to get busy with my cukes! Love seeing Mac, too, beautiful and oh so dignified

Glad it was helpful, NamiNaeko - you're gonna have some nice cukes! Since your seedlings are all in one 5 gallon pot - take care when you repot them to disturb the roots as little as possible, as they don't like their roots disturbed. You might want to use a spoon to lift them out and place them in a new container where they have more space. Thanks for stopping by!

@CaliKim29 Ай бұрын

es, it's generally fine to add earthworms to a bucket or container for composting purposes. Earthworms are excellent decomposers and can help break down kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost. They don't typically eat live plant roots; instead, they feed on decaying organic matter, such as kitchen scraps, leaves, and other plant material. CK

Do you have to have full sun to get good cucumbers 😊

2 questions: First, how much water do you give the plants daily that are in 5-gallon buckets? Secondly, do you manually pollinate any of your cucumber flowers? All of our honeybees are gone so next year I will put up Mason bee nests or my plants won't get pollinated.

I was trying to find a video like this from you this morning and I’m so happy to see this one now! I have a patio variety in a 5 gallon grow bag. Do you think I should put it in a 7 gallon just in case?

Hi Joyce, glad the timing worked out! A patio variety should be just fine in a 5 gallon grow bag - you should have some to harvest before you know it! Enjoy!

Daft question but what does the xoxo mean as I've seen it in front of lots of names. Is it just hugs & kisses?
