Many summer residents prefer to deal with one interesting variety of cucumbers.
They say it never fails in terms of yield, and is also resistant to adverse weather conditions.
“Samorodok” can be grown both in a greenhouse and in open ground, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, an agronomist and landscape designer.
This early-ripening universal variety will delight you with its first fruits just 40-45 days after emergence.
Moreover, the harvest is so abundant that, as experienced gardeners report, up to 12 kilos of fruit can be collected from one bush.
Cucumbers also look very attractive – length from 10 to 12 centimeters, thin skin, dense flesh, small seeds.
These cucumbers are ideal for various salads and preserves.
Another advantage of the variety is that these cucumbers are resistant to various diseases, including powdery mildew, cladosporiosis, etc.
The main thing is to sow the seeds in pre-prepared nutritious soil.
In order not to damage the roots during transplantation, it is recommended to use separate containers (keep in a warm place).
When the shoots appear, we move them to the windowsill so that the leaves receive more light.
Watering should be moderate, moisten the soil, but do not flood it.
Approximately 7-10 days before planting in a permanent location, we begin to take the seedlings out into the fresh air, gradually increasing the time they spend there.
