How to get early cucumbers
• First (preferably in the fall), the soil intended for cucumber beds is fertilized: using compost, potassium chloride and superphosphate. Then it is carefully dug up, no less than a spade's length.
• There is a lot of debate about how to properly grow cucumber seedlings. But everyone agrees that growing cucumber seedlings in separate cups allows you to preserve the delicate root system when transplanting plants into the ground.
• In mid-March, 1-2 seeds are planted in individual pots with nutritious soil to a depth of 1 cm.
• At the age of 20 days, you can plant cucumber seedlings in a greenhouse; you need to water the plants at the roots with warm water (about 20 degrees).
• When planting cucumber seedlings, the plants are immediately tied to a trellis.
• After a week, the beds with cucumbers can be sprayed with copper oxychloride.
• Cucumbers need to be watered once every three days.
• Already in mid-May the first wonderful cucumbers will appear!
