How to Prune and Stake Cucumbers

In this video I talk about how to Prune and Stake cucumber plants in my garden. Typically cucumbers are grown on a netting or a trellis, but this year I am testing out the method of growing them with a bamboo stake and pruning them similar to tomatoes. Many people warn against pruning - but it will reduce the amount of foliage which will reduce disease, pest, and fungus pressures. Plus it should direct more energy in the main vine, fruits and flowers. This will be especially important for this plant since it is an Armenian Cucumber that can grow up to 3 feet long!
