There were times when vegetables grew in tubs and boxes on almost every balcony. Residents with windows facing the south were especially happy.
Then it was possible to grow heat-loving crops, such as tomatoes or cucumbers. It is curious that having a country plot did not deter such experiments.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told which cucumbers will bear fruit not only on the balcony, but even in a flowerpot in the kitchen.
Considering that pollination in urban conditions is not as good as in the countryside, we should immediately turn all our attention to hybrids.

The crop is early maturing and the first ovaries can be detected already on the 39th day after emergence.
Plants do not exceed 1.5 meters in height.
The hybrid is resistant to many known diseases and insect pests, if they suddenly appear in your apartment.
The bush bears fruit for a long time and, what is no less important, abundantly. But the cucumber is considered a salad cucumber.
The fruits grow up to 8 cm and up to 60 grams, crispy, juicy and no different from those collected in the garden.
Another advantage of this variety is that the cucumbers are not bitter at all.
As for care, in addition to observing the watering regime, you will have to periodically apply fertilizer.
For growing, it is better to use medium-sized seedling containers rather than flower pots.
However, do not take large ones. Large containers have a negative effect on the growth of this hybrid.
