This Week in the Garden
Cleaning out the Cucumber Bed

This Week in the Garden retired MSU Extension Horticulture Specialist Lelia Kelly shows how to clean out the cucumber plot. She removes all the plants and then rakes the ground to collect all the leaves that have fallen off the plants over the growing season. Getting rid of the plants and leaves removes places for insects and disease to overwinter.
