Description of the best varieties of cucumbers for open ground - according to gardeners
Author: Natalya Baskova
Cucumber is a tropical plant successfully acclimatized in Russia. In the central zone, cucumber is grown on each plot, in industrial greenhouses it is culture No. 1. About how to choose the best cucumber seeds for open ground, and will be discussed in our review.
Choosing the best cucumbers for open ground, most often gardeners prefer hybrids that exceed the varieties in terms of yield and resistance to adverse weather conditions. In the open ground they grow both bee-pollinated varieties and hybrids of cucumbers, and parthenocarpika with flowers of the predominantly female type, which give fruit without fertilization.
Bee pollinated Forms differ in the expressed aroma and high tastes, but their productivity depends on weather conditions during flowering. During heavy long rains that prevent the bees from flying, many barren flowers are formed.
Suitable for open and protected ground self-pollinating cucumber varieties with bisexual flowers. They tie fruit with seeds, unlike parthenocarpic.
Cucumber varieties and hybrids are grouped according to the size of the fruit (short, long, gherkins and pickles), according to the type of thorns (smooth, hilly, with white thorns, with numerous small black thorns), by destination (lettuce, pickling, universal), according to maturity ( ultra early, early, mid-season, late).

I plant cucumbers Rodnichek for preservation mainly until I found a worthy replacement. And fresh very tasty and beautiful. |
Cucumber succeeds even in a novice gardener. However, it is a capricious culture. He likes fertile soil and top dressing with mineral fertilizers (organic matter is applied only under the previous crop), good lighting, regular moderate irrigation. It is very picky about the temperature regime, so in the open field at the beginning of the growing season it is necessary to provide for the possibility of sheltering a nonwoven for the night in case of a sharp cooling.
When planting cucumbers, both direct sowing and seedling are used. The article analyzed the price of seeds. The cost of seedlings was not affected, since it varies greatly in the regions. A significant minus in the purchase of finished seedlings - will have to take what is on the market. And this is rarely what you need.
Growing your own cucumber seedlings is not difficult. The main thing is to use individual cups or peat pots. If it is not possible to arrange additional lighting, then do not sow too early to avoid stretching and weakening the seedlings. In the ground planted seedlings with a pair of these sheets. The root system of cucumber does not tolerate transplantation, so they use transshipment. In the first days after disembarking, shading is arranged.
If you did not succeed in growing seedlings - feel free to sow in the ground under the film. Cucumber seeds are sown in the heated soil, if the spring is cold - under the film or under plastic cups. In cold soil, seeds rot or stop developing before the onset of favorable conditions.
Have a good harvest!
