In this video, I share an easy hand pollinating procedure that will double your cucumbers, squash and melons! Growing cucumbers, squash and melons can be a challenge for gardeners, because they have separate male and female flowers. If pollination fails, the baby fruits will shrivel and drop. This is the cause of most gardener's problems growing cucurbits, and in this video, we correct the problem!
By hand pollinating, you can double, triple, quadruple your harvest, or more! In addition, I also show you unique cucurbit varieties that do not require pollination so you'll grow more squash, cucumbers and melons than you ever thought possible!
