Today we will talk about cucumbers and I want to share with you some experience of growing this crop.
Cucumbers are valued not for their nutritional value, but for their taste and the content of some unique mineral salts. On the "green" early spring table they take pride of place. Vegetable growers have a question, how to grow an early harvest of cucumbers, this heat-loving plant?
In early spring, as soon as the sun's rays slightly warm the earth, in a well-lit place I make holes with a diameter of 30-35 cm and a depth of about 10 cm. The distance between such holes I make at least 1 meter. In each hole, I plant 7-8 pieces of germinated seeds of super-early varieties of cucumbers (I use a mixture of different varieties) and cover the holes with a polyvinyl chloride film. I press the edges of the film to the ground in various ways, as long as the film is slightly stretched over the hole.
The film prevents moisture evaporation, and the space under it heats up under the influence of sunlight, cucumber seedlings grow quickly - they are not afraid of even night frosts. By the time the frost threat is completely gone, I cut the film over the plant and release it onto the surface of the film. I remove weak plants, and in each hole I leave only 3 or 4 strong plants, by this time they are in the phase of the 5th true leaf.
In the future, I do not remove the film, it helps to retain the moisture so necessary for cucumber plants, and the weeds that grow under the film warm the cucumbers with their heat. Watering with this method is halved, cucumbers are always clean, as they lie on the film, and not on the ground.
Why does this growing method allow for an early harvest of cucumbers? The secret lies in the combination of high humidity and high temperature - these two essential requirements of cucumbers. If, before the beginning of flowering (during the budding period), watering is stopped (until the soil dries slightly), then more female flowers will form. Accordingly, the harvest of cucumbers will be not only early, but also high.
