I planted these cuccumbers and zucchinis about a few days apart. The Cuccumbers I planted 04/05 and the Squash was planted 04/08. In this test, I tested both two different types of squash (yellow & striped squash) and cuccumbers (Armenian & Long Greens). Experiencing the squash growing faster than the cuccumbers even though they were planted 3 days before the cuccumbers. and wanted to know if anybody else had this same experience who might have tried or successfully grown them at similar times. Which ones grow faster in your growing expertise? 🤔

@Andrew Greenlee OK, good to hear this! Other things that could have effected it is the seed germination rate rather than the plantsability to grow. If only a few sprouted from that many planted then the seeds may not be that good or from a hybrid or something like that

@Kc Kaleo Awesome! Was hoping for results like this as I would love to transplant them at the same time but it appears that I will have to wait at least a few more days for the Cuccumbers to catchup.

@Jim Flach Love myself some Humic acid. Use that and Fulvic Acid all in my soil. Helps to regulate your Ph which is important with even high or low Ph.

Walk and talk through a no-till greenhouse

Thought you guys might appreciate this video from my no-till greenhouse in South Africa. A friend who farms papinos asked me for advice on controlling spider mites. I made this video as a reply. Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEgDUzY5U7o

Nice! Doing no till in my greenhouse/HYRS as well. What is your strategy with the weeds?

Nm, I grow similar Very similar. Planted Lintels while the plants were young and they were able to benefit from the nitrogen fixing g bacteria from the Lintels then the crops outcompeted them. Great work!
