When is the right time to spray the back of the zucchini leaves with neem or soap and water and how often can I apply calcium in between fertilizer, Cucumbers just starting , had one short one curled up on the end. What causes that ? thanks

My Cucumbers are not cucumbering. I have plenty of male flowers and even have some female flowers with fruit on them. Bees are flying from flower to flower but still no Cucumbers

I’ll try this next year - I always let two shoots grow and main vine - once each gets a pollinated fruit I top the vine after the fruit - I get 3 big watermelons per plant

Does that gunk on the stem mean the vine Borer is there? I've started seeing that on my squash stems......😬

🎉🎉❤❤

Any repair videos for this tumbler? I have the same one but the plastic of mine is breaking where it rotates. These seem to deteriorate after about 2 years (at least being left out in the cold winters and the hot summers where I'm at here in Pennsylvania)

Waoo

Thank you for your KZfaq channel. You’re one of the best KZfaq gardeners I watch.

Good info. We're growing five kale varieties and of course, collard greens!

Excellent vid on using a compost tumbler. Our school has had one for years, but not using it correctly. This make so much sense, and will provide "useful" compost for the school's plants and flowers. Thank you!

I'm so sad all i have are leaves.

I love that you're sharing even with strangers. My family members all grow vegetables so our excess goes to a local food bank, neighbors, even our FedEx drivers leave with vegetables. 😅

Did the coffee grounds help?

Nasty! I’ve got an old gardening book from the 70s that says you can pile dirt up over the hole.

That's so awesome! Thanks for donating!

I'm not normally that squeamish, but the first time I did this same procedure I was literally jumping around the garden and yelling to express how totally gross this thing is. The plant survived but never produced another zucchini, so I traumatized myself for nothing!

High 80s? I’m jealous! We’ve been knocking on 100 the past 2 weeks. I can’t wait for fall to plant more cukes ❤ I’m living vicariously through your videos until then 😂

Looks great 👍🏻 Hope I get a good harvest. Mine are flowering but no cucumbers yet. Do you also put dry fertilizer every 2 weeks or just water soluble? I have been doing dry monthly.

My cucumbers start growing then turn pale and fall off… what can i do to help my cucumber plant?

Thanks for sharing all of your tips and tricks

Mine had the yellow spot, brown tendril, completely dark with no light green tint anywhere, had that perfect sound, well into the harvest period, but it was only white/light pink inside. I can’t figure it out

This is very helpful. My first time growing Zucchini(Grey Zucchini from seed, in container. So. Calif. in Zone 10), so I had no reference as to what their process is. I have been getting some pollinators. I went out this morning to clip several as you show here. It makes total sense so it allows its energy to work on the main ones. It was perfect timing as a bee had come just before I finished snipping. :) Thanks for helping us newbies. For other vegetable seeds I'm getting soon, I also just picked up my Scott's 10-10-10. Appreciate all your tips!

Man these things pests I hate them! This is what comes with organic gardening tho, everything wants to attack our plants. I guarantee you this doesn’t happen to commercial grower’s.

I’m gonna have to save this video because my plant got killed by one of these whoop it borrowed into it. I one day just wanted to see how strong the roots were. I pulled on it and popped the whole top just fell off I was devastated. that’s probably why the larva was in there, but they died both of my plants😢😢😢

Are espresso grounds good to use ?

Could you mound soil or compost up that stem and get more root growth? Maybe up-pot it into a larger pot and put the stem deeper? This time of the season we can still just start some new ones if we had to.

you guys keep recommending all side shoots and othe veins then main you end up with no leaves to produce energy, the stuff you say mostly makes no sense.

I have mine growing on a trellis and I put a watermelon hammock on them to prevent them from breaking off the plant once they get to be a few pounds, the smaller sugar babies only. I keep the bigger ones on the ground. So my sugar babies do not get this yellow spot because they aren’t sitting on the ground. The only way I can tell is from the tendrils and knocking/ flicking gently on the fruit to see if it makes a bit of a muffled hollow sound. The bigger ones on the ground I actually bought special plastic trays with holes to drain water and it keeps the mellons slightly off the ground and prevents them from rolling around. My backyard isn’t really designed to grow fruit and vegetables, I have a pool and around is all stone interlocking and the gardens on the retaining walls are already full of flowers and well established trees. But I have a section at the back where I have space to plant in pots but the ground is stone interlocking so I am worried the melons can roll around or get damaged by the stone, so the plastic trays really help with that. So far everything has been going very well, as my first year growing watermelons I am very happy with the outcome so far. Other than the fact I have already stepped on the vines twice, including once right now. Because like I said my yard isn’t very well designed to grow fruits and vegetables especially ones like watermelons that take up a lot of space. The first time I stepped on one the vine split but it seemed to heal itself and the plant continued to grow and stay healthy. The second time it was too much damage I had to cut it and allow for one of the side chutes to continue as the main vine, now I stepped on another and it split on one side but the damage doesn’t seem to be terrible, I hope it will heal like the last one and continue to grow. I put empty pots around the vines like pylons now so hopefully I won’t step on them again while trying to get to my other fruits and vegetables 😂

What kind of tape do you use?

Beautiful 🤩

In between some of your videos I checked my gardens and found eggs on four zuchinni leaves. You're correct, check everything everyday!

Thank you @GreenTGarden. What if it’s the leaves turning yellow in my potted zucchini?

Thanks. All the websites say to be patient but have no other tips. It’s already mid July and no female flowers!

Thanks

Interesting and new to me.

Performing surgery on plants....simply amazing!

Great description of what to do for proper harvest time.

My son and I love the greens.

I've heard soapy water kills grasshoppers. Do you know if it works on big ones too, or just tiny ones? I'm being over run! The chickens can't even catch up eating them!

Thanks for teaching me.

Thanks for the update!

Does this hurt bees at all?

Why is half of the eggplant fruit green while growing?

I love your videos! I've never seen the speckled bottle gourd but I like them. This year, for fun, I am growing Dipper Gourds and a few Egyptian Loofahs. I think I will try speckled bottle gourd next year! Thanks for the intro.

Amazing! Can you tell me what fertilizer you use? Ty!

I saw someone use a loop of duct tape to remove the eggs!

Wow
