The enthusiasm and the gardening knowledge is tops, but let's be honest, I'm really here for Tuck!

I like the way you keep saying "Come over here." My guess is that you're talking to your brother, the photographer, but it makes me feel like I am there in the garden with you. Wish it be so!

I love those plastic clips. I bought mine online 4 years ago and I keep reusing them. I grow the English cucumbers. Each year, I leave 2 of the biggest cucumbers on the vine and allow them to mature. They become my seed donors for next year.

James, would love to know how you store and preserve your abundant harvests!

The young king is looking very dapper with his new haircut :)

Thank you James for all the great wisdom! Gotta say your garden is next level, you harvest sooo much. Definitely best I have seen on YT. We have copied some of your methods for our food forest we started two years ago, your fence design works great and is very solid, along with fruit tree and raised bed layouts, it's really coming together! 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!

Watching your videos reminds me of our horticulture classes, 40 years ago. You explain enough to make us understand the reason for good Practices.

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. 😂 ❤

Well, I’m going to tend to my cucumbers tomorrow. Thank you for this insight!

Perfect timing for me. Currently have 5 cucumber plants growing at different stages. I’m following your advice regarding removing suckers and clearing lower leaves. Thank you James and I always enjoy seeing Tuck munching and guarding your garden, such a cutie! ❤

I planted Amaranth and Cleome flowers once in my cold frame, and they both come back every year. Both work as a trap plant. Thanks for the great advice!

Tuck has to be the healthiest dog on the planet - love him!! Your videos are so informative - thanks and keep them coming!

❤❤❤❤ for Tuck and another great video! You're my favorite gardening channel and have inspired me so much! Our little Food Forest here is getting bigger each year! 🌱

Tuck the big boss. You are so fortunate to have Tuck teach you how to grow cucumbers

Found it very informative thank you. Have never pruned cucumbers before

JP, I can say my garden is looking so green and healthy, thanks so much! With your Secret Stuff Fertilizer, kelp and other products. My garden is thriving famously.😊❤

❤ Tuck. I hope my new pup loves the cucumbers in the garden as much as he does.

Much love James and Tuck thank you for being you ✨✨✨✨✨
