Thanks again!

I just harvested my first cucumber (green hybrid burpless) and it was so good. These things grow SO FAST! I followed all your tips from prior videos, making sure not to let one get lost at the bottom and ripen on the vine. I used our old trampoline frame and put it together. Instead of the safety net I put trellis netting and left 3 pieces of the circle of the trampoline out so it’s like a “U” shape and it’s working so great! My loofa is loving it, cucumbers and tomatoes too!

Tuck is adorable 🥰 my little terrier is a garden maven. She started her gardening career at less than a pound…her favorites were young green beans, melons, and corn. She literally pulled off a low hanging corn and had it on her patio, pulling silks and shucking to get to the delicious corn. She also had a couple pet ducks and would run out as soon as she woke up and check on them. An animal took them one night and when she ran out in the morning her cries scared me…she was crying at the duck house. Something dug under the gate and ripped them apart. She was inconsolable. Eventually her garden (make no mistake …it belonged to her) helped her heal. Tuck and Quanah could be soul mates. 😂 ❤

This is my first time direct planting cukes in the garden. Usually, I do plant seeds in advance in trays and transplant in May or early June. Unfortunately, we usually get a hail storm in late May and it stunts their growth. This time I direct planted later than usual, so they hadn't emerged until after the heavy hail came, and now they are thriving! I bought some of that clay you mentioned and will try it on my apples, cukes, and squashes.

Succession planting is so powerful! Especially for new gardeners. Mistakes can be remedied with a new crop, more planting increases experience levels faster, and less than ideal harvests are made up with another crop. My cucumbers are doing well on the trellis and we just planted more seeds yesterday. Thank you for the great videos. And thank the BOSS

@@RKOuttathebox Thanks. I've set up a similar shade. Anticipating another hot Summer I took his advice on soil preparation/composition. Over the past few years the soil had dried considerably during high heat episodes despite regular watering, frustrating. Not this year! Zero experience with extended, extreme heat rather than a few days of high temps. Trying to find a balance among shade, watering, fertilization, new plantings, etc. Good so far
