Many experienced gardeners know that cucumbers will not have any trouble bearing fruit until October, especially if the autumn is warm.
However, the culture must still have the “strength” to bear fruit for such a long time.
If everything is done correctly, then it will be possible to harvest cucumbers in huge quantities, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
What needs to be done with culture
Regular inspection
If you notice the first yellow leaves, remove them without regret. The plant will stop wasting resources on them and will concentrate on fruiting.
You also need to remove any questionable leaves if you notice even a hint of disease or pest attack on them.
Minerals
Cucumbers will need help from fertilizers in order to maintain their strength for long-term fruiting. The following recipe will be an excellent option: take a spoonful of superphosphate and potassium sulfate per bucket of water and fertilize the vegetables.
Milk
An excellent option is sour milk. For a liter of product, take three times more water and start feeding. The component can be replaced with whey. The mixture is used for leaf treatment.
