Cucumbers fit into the greenhouse

Okurek is many kinds, but how to choose the right one? Currently, seeds of cucumbers are not on the market, and they do not need to plant the pollinator. These are varietal cholesterol. If we choose this kind, we will not make a mistake. If not, we probably do not expect the desired fruits.
 
 

How to grow salad cucumbers?

First, we seed the seeds into the seed pot with the substrate, optimally into the fog. Seeds are sown in March or April. About a week, the plants have developed uterine leaves and can thus be transplanted into pots. At the latest within 3 weeks, the right leaves grow, and during this period, the seedlings can be transplanted into the greenhouse or foil. The optimum temperature for pre-growing the cucumber seedlings is in the range of 15 - 20˚C.
 
Tip:
 
Cucumbers are very demanding for the fertilization of nitrogen-rich fertilizers, but they do not like excessive fertilization with industrial fertilizers. If we do not have good fertilizer from our own compost, we fertilize during vegetation. Cucumbers are very sensitive to all chlorine-based products, so avoid them. Chlor negatively affects the germination of plants and their subsequent growth.
