Cucumber trellis: https://bit.ly/3ev6txH Growing cucumbers in containers is pretty easy once you know how these prolific plants work! Variety selection is important here, so decide if you want a pickling or slicing variety, and then if you want a bush or vining type, as that will inform how you support the plant. I encourage you to read further for my in-depth growing cucumbers guides linked below as well!

You can get all female varieties of cucumbers.. just so you know

Do you top mulch on the grow bag?

We had frost here well into May so I started my cukes indoors then moved them outdoors later. The plants are nice and big now with huge leaves and lots of flowers but the local bee population hasn't been around that I've seen. I've considered hand pollinating but can't seem to find any female flowers. Is it too early? Thoughts?
I have a question for you. This is the first time growing anything. I have a good sized cucumber plant growing. It has plenty of male flowers but no female flowers has this ever happened to you? Is there a way to fix this?? I guess it was more than one question. And FYI I live in the northeast part of the country. If that matters. Thanks
Did you ever make the video on hand pollinating cucumber? I searched and can’t find it!
i have a ton of cucumber plants in my garden and theyre growing into my neighbors yard… hope they like cucumbers lol

Can you move cucumber plants when they are already grown some? Like they have flowers…
I have been growing MarketMore 76 for2 years. Very reliable grower, very consistent and flavorful. I like to use as a slicer ( skin on ) for salads. Great flavor. Thanks for sharing your videos.
I just wanted to say that you don't need to grow pickle cucumbers only for pickling. We're in rural Croatia and just like people do in the villages here we grow a lot of our own food. The climate gives us long summers but they are brutal to our plants so we have a few varieties that can survive the heat and sun during the hottest period. Cucumbers are usually one French cornichon for pickling and one local kind that contaivs more water but is short and works both for pickling and eating fresh. Now, I prefer the French ones. They should be picked and pickled when they are very small, but we leave them to grow 3-4 times the length of pickled cornichons. They are much sweater and absolutely less sensitive to becoming bitter from the heat. In other words, I would recommend sowing several kinds of cucumbers and not limiting what it can be used for. Pick some early if you want tiny pickles, but otherwise just use them as fresh cucumbers.
This year our cucumbers do unusually well. They're in the field and we have no irrigation system, but we need to water manually every evening. This means we need to add a lot of water to prevent the soil from drying up during the day, so there is no gentle, even flow and sooner or later the cucumber do die of mildew. This year we let them grow vertically and it seems it's good for them. There is mildew, but not much and it arrived very late. Our neighbour's vertical cucumber is doing well too, but our other neighbour let his grow horizontally and his cucumbers are all dead by now. I would say the vertical solution is better, even if you have the space to let them stay on the ground.
I tried growing cucumbers in a bag this year and they were super bitter. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
Good tips! My own harvest was fun: https://youtu.be/j6ATjcwi7Lk
Great information! However…question that I hope you can answer. Started a little leaf cucumber 7/17/21. Grew like crazy! But all I am getting is male flowers. No fruit as of today 9/1. It's supposed to be a heat tolerant variety and parthenogenetic so I am clueless. A couple people said it may be the heat that we have been having here? Any thoughts? Thanks
Epic dude: says a bunch of cool stuff about setting up his cucumbers
