Plant Your Cucumbers In Your Spring Garden. Cucumbers are one of the most popular garden crops of all time. They are easy to grow, but sometimes do not transplant well, so you really have to get them going and well established ahead of spring.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, your growing season is finite, and often too short to properly ripen Cucumbers that are directly seeded into the garden. Starter plants are expensive, so you need a plan! The plan is simple, start your own Cucumber seeds indoors, move them along to bigger pots, and then, when the weather permits, harden off those plants and get them into the spring garden to grow for summer harvest!
In this video, I show you how to take the awesome Cucumber starter plants that you created in Parts 1 and 2 of this series and how we plant them right into our spring garden! Get those Cucumbers planted up right and they will produce an astonishing amount of fruit this summer!

Hello … Can you please guide me how to wire the pots for cucumbers branches to climb the wires.
I noticed you didn’t shake the root part of the cucumber and just planted straight in the ground with the original square shape. When or why should you or shouldn’t you flake the roots ?
Thank you very much for uploading these videos! I am a first time gardener trying to show my kids and actually look like I know what I'm doing hahaha You break down these videos so simple and easy. Thank you!
Excelent video you do great job
Of you have leggy cucumber seedling can you bury the stems?
What age were these cuke plants when you put them in the greenhouse?
What size are your beds? I have cucumbers that have already produced the yellow/orange flowers! I need to plant them asap! I can't plant in the ground so wanted to build a bed n similar to yours. I have 7 plants, what size bed could I do? And how deep does it need to be?
great series! One thing….I didn't think peppers were the same as tomatoes for planting up the stem and sending out roots.
New sub, new to gardening, UK weather dependent you have explained so well I shall progress my cuc seedlings 3 to 4 leaves now. Thank you.
Wow! I’m impressed I saved all 3! Where have you been all my gardening life!! I subscribed after the first 2 minutes of the first video.
Hello,how many cucumber plants can fit into an either 5 or 10 gallon fabric bucket?thank you!new subscriber and first time Gardner.
Nice video,
what about cucumber beetles?
Between the video part 2 and part 3 you mentioned hardening off but we didn't quite see what you did to harden off.
Hi I love your channel!! When do I start fertilizing my plants? I planted seeds about a week and a half ago and I am growing them in a container .
Should i water the leaves also
I valued your cucumber series and want to highly thank you for especially giving time periods and what to look for before you transplant and what size pot to use for your first transplant. I am a beginner with a yellow thumb I need to stay cautious while planting because I killed every vegetable I began to grow. Now, I’m not giving up and starting over. My cucumbers are thriving and they are not leggy as my first time starting. So, thank you kindly for your patience in your video, explaining as if you are teaching a beginner. I am in debt to you. Thank you so so much!
Thanks again first time planting (almost anything) so need some luck!
Thanks my plants is at part 2 but now I can get the bed and wire ready
What's your opinion on the real reason cucumbers turn bitter? I had seven varieties all in the same bed same treatment and water condition. Almost every one was bitter but produced very well otherwise
Never put water on the leaves..
Doesn't green grass clippings burn the plants as mulch??
Do you have a suggestions for dealing with cucumber beetles?
Thank´s Jeff for very good indeed, excellent, tutorials on cucumber. Second year for me. Learned from last year how big they get. And how hungry the are. And that they insist on being looked after and watered. This season I try with self watering containers, home made of course: A couple or three strings, appr. an inch in width, of cut water mat stuck into the bottom up into the soil; water in the container below. It seems to work fine, so far. This year I plan to keep them more rigorously cut back, appr. 1,5 m. I will string them up to a curtain rod; they stand on a Eastern window sill over a radiator; warm enough! One more experiment for this year: I will try another way to manage the small flies: UV lamp, 11W. Bye for now. Take care. Love your videos!
