What to do to stop crooked cucumbers from appearing: a fantastic harvest is guaranteed
Although crooked cucumbers may taste good, they can be difficult to find a use for.
Therefore, in order not to puzzle over where to put the irregularly shaped greens, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to find out about the reasons for this phenomenon and not allow them on your site.
Watering has a great influence on the shape of vegetables.
It is important to use water of a suitable temperature for this purpose - from 25 to 28 degrees, and also to observe intervals between waterings - until mid-August, the soil is usually moistened once every 2-3 days, later - as needed.
Another factor that determines whether cucumbers will have the correct shape and look beautiful is the timeliness of harvesting.
If this procedure is delayed, the plants will not distribute nutrients correctly, which will affect their appearance.
During the period of active fruiting, the cucumbers are collected approximately once every 3 days.
Finally, although less rare, but still quite possible, the reason is under-pollination of cucumbers.
The situation can be corrected by thinning out the vines and spraying the cucumbers with a solution of boric acid prepared from 3 g of the preparation and 10 liters of water.
