And that&#8217;s cucurbits in the indoor grow room! Cucurbit is a fancy gardener&#8217;s way of broadly discussing squash, pumpkins, gourds, cucumbers, zucchini and many melons. It encompasses [&#8230;]]]></description>

One of the things we have up our sleeves is a range of recipes that are focused on specific produce. The goal of these recipes is to help [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, we talked about canning and mentioned that it&#8217;s not always our go-to preservation technique. We figured it might be appropriate to talk about how our preservation focus has &#8220;evolved&#8221; over the years. We used to (and to some degrees, still do) have many jars of canned goods put up. As &#8220;slightly younger&#8221; growers, though, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Many a new growers venture into cucurbits, such as squash and cucumbers, and get one of the biggest surprises! Unlike pretty much all other seedlings, these plants rapidly increase in size and stature. When these plants are started too early, they are exceptionally challenging to take care of and will, quite literally, take over. Hopefully [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s talk a bit about preservation and how we&#8217;ve observed our preferences change over the years. We&#8217;re fairly well versed across all methods of food preservation. We frequently leverage canning, dehydration, infusion, freezing and many of the more obscure food preservation methods. While we love canning for its absolute longevity in keeping foods preserved for [&#8230;]]]></description>

We&#8217;re going to share our favorite way of dealing with it and also show how this problem manifests. Cucumbers can be a super finicky veggie, even if you give them optimal growing conditions.

First off, some plants require pollination to set fruit. We talked about tomatoes and peppers the other day, those are super simple to pollinate by hand. But, some [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We should probably breach the topic of vining cucumber pruning. It&#8217;s a lesser known topic that many gardeners might not be familiar with, so it&#8217;s probably good to shed some light. In a lot of ways, vining cucumbers have similar growing characteristics to indeterminate tomatoes. Despite being entirely unrelated genetically, both will have a main [&#8230;]]]></description>
