Hello, what's going on everyone.

Kevin from Epic Gardening here.

Today we're talking about cucumbers, but we're not talking about those vining boys.

How do you grow these and why might you even grow these?

Well, you know me, I'm a big small space gardener guy

and if you've got a patio, a balcony, or just minimal space, sometimes it makes

a lot of sense to grow a bushing variety instead of a vining variety.

Even if you have the space to grow a vining variety, you might vine it up and actually

block the sun from the limited amount of growing space that you have, and so it may make more sense

to grow a bush variety. So that's what we're talking about today.

I'm going to talk about a couple of the varieties that I've chosen as well as some of the

variations in care for growing a bush cucumber.

The first question to answer is what's the real difference between the two of these?

Is there any difference besides their growing pattern?

And the answer is kind of no.

They, for the most part, just are different

in their manner of growing.

So Bush cucumbers will require maybe two

to three square feet per plant. Andining cucumbers as you know either they're

going to take up a ton of horizontal space if they're sprawling all over the ground

and if you trellis them you can get quite efficient space usage but of course they can they can block they can
