How to Plant Cucumbers
Plant cucumbers can be directly into the ground and through the seedlings.Many, in order to get an earlier harvest, use the second method. The seedling must be no more than a month old, otherwise it doesn’t get well and the seeds planted right into the ground eventually overtake it in development. When planting in the ground it is necessary to cover the seedlings, shade in the daytime, water and open at night. Otherwise, it may burn in the sun or suffer from wind. When a seedling is acclimatized, it will no longer need shelter. Usually it takes several days. In the greenhouse, seedlings are less ill, there is no wind, high humidity, direct sunlight is not dangerous.
Before planting, it is advisable to soak the seeds before the root swells or sticks. Now some hybrid seeds are sold in a colored casing, they are not soaked to save it.
Planting in open ground
When planting in the ground make a bed.It can be earthen or dung. If cucumbers are planted just on the ground, then the bed should be no more than a meter wide, so that it is easy to harvest and care for cucumbers. On such a bed cucumbers are planted in 2 rows, between the bushes in a row leaving a distance of at least 20 cm. With a hoe you can make 2 furrows along the bed, it is good to spill them with water, then sprinkle fertilizer, it’s better nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium, there is everything you need . Then put cucumber seeds and cover with earth.
High bed of manure
