Growing recommendations

1. When buying seeds, they are calibrated and processed. To accelerate the emergence of seedlings, they must be soaked in advance by putting in a damp cloth. After this, it is advisable to harden the seeds, but only for those that have not germinated. They are placed in the refrigerator in a damp cloth for 2 days. Then they need to be transplanted immediately into boxes or already into the greenhouse.
2. In conditions of cultivation in the middle lane or in the northern regions, it is recommended to grow a crop with a seedling type. Knowing that many cucumbers do not survive transplants well, it is recommended to use boxes in order to reduce possible trauma to the root system.
3. After the appearance of the first shoots, one must carefully watch so that they do not stretch unnecessarily. To do this, they must be rearranged in well-lit places or organize additional lighting using lamps. Do not rush to sow seeds in boxes - they should be there for no more than a month.
4. To transplant seedlings to the main place of cultivation, it is necessary to take into account that it is necessary to observe a change in the place of planting with gourd pumpkin crops. The bed should be in a sunny place and be fenced from strong winds, and the soil should be well loosened and fertile.
5. If seedlings are planned to be planted immediately in the greenhouse, then seeds must be sown in March, and in open spaces and in beds in mid-April.
6. When using a special trellis grill, it is possible to more accurately organize a space for growing cucumbers - it will become more convenient to take care of them, this will allow the cucumbers to always stay clean and not touch the ground.
7. When planting cucumbers directly on open beds, you need to wait for stable warm weather when the soil has already warmed up, and observe a distance between shoots of at least 30 cm and 50 cm between rows. At night, it is better to cover the seedlings with film and shoot during the day.

The main care is regular watering, loosening the soil and pulling out weeds. By following these recommendations, you can get a high yield.
