Thank you Robbie 🥰👍
Good info and tips!
I eat cucumber from my garden every day. They are all volunteers in my bucket garden. I can't express my gratitude enough to you Robbie.

Great review and reminders! Incredible how hot the hose water is!
You could have the hose in a bucket and save the water when it cools.
Good advice as usual , trimming and pruning is very important.
Any plant that goes to seed it's life cycle is over.
Great information. It has been extremely hot here in the Coastal bend in Texas. Hope you guys have a great evening and thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the great information Robbie.
Just did this!
I find with my runner beans that I really must pick them small and not let them set seed pods or they will slow down or stop producing. If I catch them before they set seeds they give a lot of tender beans.
help i think I've overwatered and also cooked my plants leaves from top watering
and why no beans on my plants?? garden disaster
Great advice! Thanks!😁
A few weeks ago I moved a pot and almost burned my fingers. Stuck my finger in the dry soil, the pot had been harvested and ouch. Outside temperature was 100F. I got my instant read thermometer and checked. That 2 gallon pot was 120F. Next one, moist soil, was 110F. A larger, 5-6 gallon of cucumbers, moist soil, was just 100F. My poor plants were cooking. I put up a shade structure and it's helped. Next year everything goes in 4 and 6 gallon containers. Live and learn.
I would put the top hot hose water into a few empty watering cans for use later when it cools down. Or run it uphill from a tree or garden bed where the ground can cool it as the water percolates down. Or put it in a compost tea pail where the heat may help.
👍
Awesome video with great information for sure!
Great tips about the hose & hot water and trimming. Thanks!
Robbie, I follow a gazillion garden sites, but you and Gary are truly boosting my harvests! 🌾
Can you do a video about powdery mildew. I did my container garden, like your rainbow garden. My squash plants continue to have powdery mildew, even heavy on the stem. I’ve tried spraying with 1 part skim milk and 2 parts water. Squash plants producing some flowers. mostly male flowers, but not male and female together. I’m feeling defeated 😩 I have a patio container garden and have been shading the tubs with cardboard or burlap. I’m careful to water late in evening
Thank you for sharing Robbie, I used tulle on some of my tomatoes, they worked great.
I definitely need to trim some leaves. Thanks Robbie, didn't know I could tailor trim them like that. Tomorrow the scissors come out!
