Planting cucumbers in a greenhouse

Cucumber is the only vegetable that is usually eaten unripe. Its juice removes toxins and has a beneficial effect on the body.

Planting cucumbers in a greenhouse

1. Growing seedlings. This allows you to get a harvest earlier than when planting seeds. Plants that are 20-25 days old are transferred to the greenhouse, usually at the end of May.
2. Landing in the ground. The seedlings are placed in two rows, in holes 10-15 cm deep. Fertilizer is placed in each hole (300-500 g of compost, humus or peat with 5-10 g of potassium salt and superphosphate). To rationalize the area used, cucumbers are compacted with fast-growing crops, which are sown on the day of planting or 6-7 days before it.
3. Flexible stems of cucumbers need support - trellises. A nylon cord or wire is pulled in the direction of the rows. 4-7 days after planting, twine is attached to the wire, placing it above each of the sprouts. The plant is tied with the lower end of the twine at a height of approximately 10-15 cm above the soil.
4. Care. It consists of fertilizing, watering, maintaining a comfortable temperature, protecting against diseases and pests, and timely adding fresh soil. During the fruiting period, old and diseased leaves, as well as ugly fruits, are cut out.

Planting cucumbers in a greenhouse creates favorable conditions for fruiting and growth, allowing you to reap a rich harvest regardless of weather conditions.
