The hybrid variety Podmoskovnie vechera f1 has been around for about 20 years. It was created and entered into the State Register in 2000. Since the hybrid is parthenocarpic, it is approved for cultivation in greenhouses, as well as greenhouses, film shelters and open ground. Its fruits set without pollination.
It has indeterminate bushes with predominantly female flowers. From 1 to 3 greens are formed in each internode. They ripen 42-46 days after the sprouts hatch.
Description of the fruit: a mature cucumber reaches 12-15 cm in length, weighs 90-110 g. The skin is covered with sparse but prominent tubercles. The pulp is tasty, but not very juicy. The fruits can be used for winter preparations and fresh salads.
Rules for planting seedlings
Planting is one of the main factors that subsequently influence the formation of ovaries and the development of the plant itself. Before planting, vegetable growers suggest that you familiarize yourself with the description of the features of planting Moscow Evenings f1.
Landing dates
It is recommended to plant cucumber seeds in mid-April in the northern regions and in the second half of March in the southern regions of the Russian Federation. In addition, experts advise paying attention to the temperature of the soil. So, planting seeds near Moscow evenings is carried out only after the soil has warmed up to 15-17 degrees Celsius.
Site preparation
It is recommended to plant the seeds of the variety in beds where tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, or cabbage were previously grown. It is not advisable to plant the crop in a place where zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkins or watermelons were cultivated.
Despite the shade tolerance of the variety, it is necessary to choose a site located on the sunny side, which is protected from the wind. Vegetable growers also recommend the expected acidity level of the soil in the beds - pH 6-7.
In the fall, future beds are dug up and fed with manure, compost, or wood ash. To reduce the acidity level, the soil is fed with chalk or slaked lime.
Planting seedlings
It is recommended to plant the seeds of Moscow Evenings f1 to a depth of 2-3 cm. The holes with cucumber seeds are sprinkled with soil and the soil is moistened with warm liquid. Afterwards, containers with future seedlings of the variety are placed in a well-heated room (temperature 27 degrees) and provided with lighting for up to 16 hours.
Cucumbers are transplanted into open beds after the bushes have formed 4-5 full leaves. The depth of planting of bushes is 5-7 cm. After planting, the plants are watered and shelter is created for the beds.
Planting scheme
The hybrid Podmoskovnye Evenings f1 is planted according to a 50 to 50 scheme. Such a planting scheme does not cause inconvenience during harvesting and does not impede the development of its neighbors.
Agricultural technology and care
In the spring, to warm the soil faster, cover it with film. The optimal soil temperature for growing the Podmoskovnye Vecheras variety should be at least +15°C. The planting location should be sunny or in partial shade. Before sowing, soak the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate or boric acid (0.2 g of boric acid per 10 liters of water). To make the seeds germinate faster, wet the gauze and leave the planting material to hatch.
The originator advises sowing the seeds to a depth of 2-3 cm, in late April early May. Place 2-3 seeds in one hole. The first shoots from pecked seeds should appear on the 4th day. Water the plants in the late afternoon. Water consumption before flowering is 5-10 liters per 1 m², and during setting and fruiting 10-15 liters. The day after irrigation, loosen the beds.
Important!
Do not bury the hoe more than 2-4 cm, so as not to damage the root system of the cucumbers.
Keep weeds away. Grass attracts pests to the garden. Keep the beds clean. Vegetable bushes are strongly climbing and densely leafy. Remove side shoots to reduce stress on the plant. Form cucumbers into 2-3 stems. It is advisable to tie the vegetable crop to a trellis. Feed the plants at least twice. First, when 5 leaves appear, use Azofoska. The second time, during the flowering period. Fertilize with a nutrient solution based on potassium salt - 15 g, superphosphate - 15 g and 10 liters of warm water. Consumption per bush is 1 liter.
Care
To make cucumbers beautiful and tasty, it is recommended to regularly water the bushes near Moscow evenings f1, feed and hill up the soil, and form bushes. We suggest studying the description of all the necessary agrotechnical procedures for cultivating the hybrid Podmoskovnie Vechera.
Watering
Water the cucumber variety as the soil dries out: once every 3-4 days. In severe droughts, watering work is carried out more often. The irrigation liquid is infused in the sun, or heated independently to 25-27 degrees.
Watering procedures are especially important during the period of plant growth. Moscow evenings. At this point, the soil moisture level should reach 60-70%. During fruiting, the bushes of the variety need moistened soil of about 80%.
Garter and bush formation
The lashes of bushes near Moscow evenings must be tied to a vertical support. If cucumbers are grown in greenhouse conditions, the bushes form 1 stem.
Top dressing
It is necessary to apply fertilizing 2-3 times per season. The most effective soil fertilizer is manure. However, you cannot limit yourself to just this mineral. As a rule, cucumber bushes near Moscow evenings are fed with potassium and phosphorus components contained in superphosphate.
Features of growing a hybrid
In order for the harvest to please, and the work not to be in vain, it is necessary to provide the crop with proper care. It is advisable to prepare a greenhouse, although the hybrid can also be successfully cultivated on open ground ridges.
Subtleties of sowing and caring for seedlings
In the southern regions, the stage of growing seedlings is skipped, sowing the seeds directly to a permanent place. In temperate climates with a short summer season, gardeners first grow seedlings, planting them in beds or in a greenhouse. It’s more hassle, but in return they get a supply of time, an early harvest of greens.
Prepare for seedlings:
- containers (pots, peat tablets, plastic or cardboard cups);
- substrate.
It is recommended to sow the crop immediately in separate pots, since seedlings after picking slow down their growth and take root worse. Sowing in separate containers allows you to avoid painful transplantation, and when planting in a permanent place, use the method of transshipment with a clod of earth, or plant seedlings together with peat pots.
Diseases and parasites
Moscow Evenings f1 is a hybrid variety that has strong immunity to mosaic, powdery mildew and olive spot. However, improper care and planting lead to infections, which are described below.
Downy mildew
Downy mildew or downy mildew is a disease that causes young leaves to become covered with spots and holes. Initially, spots with an oily consistency and a yellow tint form on the foliage.
Over time, the leaves become brown in color, and a gray coating forms on their back side. In addition, the infection also affects the cucumbers themselves: the fruits turn white and become tasteless. To combat infection, chemical preparations “Topaz”, “Ordan”, “Quadris”, “Khom” or “Oxychom” are used.
Root rot
Root rot is a pathology as a result of which the stems of a plant begin to darken, weaken, become soft and undergo cracking. In addition, during the daytime, cucumbers begin to fade, and at night they regain their previous appearance. To treat plants against disease, bushes near Moscow evenings are treated with the substances “Previkur”, “Glyokladin”, “Trichotsin” or “Fitosporin”.
White rot
White rot is a disease that causes the foliage to become covered with white spots that look like cotton wool, the affected parts of the plant become rotten and watery, and the tops of the plant begin to wither and die. To combat infection, the drugs “Fitosporin” and “Previkur” are used.
Harvesting
At the peak of fruiting, greens are harvested every day.
Carefully remove the cucumbers from the bushes, trying not to damage the shoots of the plant. Regular collections are desirable, as this stimulates the culture to form new batches of greens. With infrequent harvesting, the fruits remain on the bushes for a long time, and although they do not overgrow or turn yellow, the overall yield decreases. Other cucumbers remain in their infancy and do not ripen. The hybrid is easy-to-use and, when stored in the refrigerator, lasts for up to 8-10 days without loss of taste and presentation. It is advisable to process cucumbers for preparations within the next 2-3 days after harvesting.
Pests, diseases and prevention
The hybrid is not afraid of cucumber mosaic, olive spot, and powdery mildew. Slightly less resistant to downy mildew. To protect against other fungi, the ground and bushes are treated with a solution of Fitosporin. Copper sulfate is effective against root rot, and Topaz is effective against white rot.
To repel insects, when planting, rows of cucumbers are interspersed with rows of onions or other strong-smelling crops. Treatment with soap solution, infusion of tobacco or onion peel, or insecticides will help against insects.

Reviews
Olga Ivanovna, Vologda region
In April I go to the village and work in the garden until winter. There are two greenhouses, cucumbers grow in one, tomatoes in the other. I tried Moscow Evenings a year ago, it’s a good cucumber. The fruits are smooth, not long, with an average number of tubercles and spines. I collect it in basins, immediately put it in water and put salt in jars in the morning. I make them lightly salted for eating in the summer, and I also roll them under iron lids for the winter. Perhaps one of the best cucumbers for preparations.
Inna, Borovichi
I trust the seeds. I’ve been buying their bags for 6-7 years now, and the cucumbers never disappoint. I have been growing Podmoskovnye Vecheri for two years, a very good variety. There are a lot of cucumbers, tasty and juicy. They go great in salads, I also salt and marinate them. I really like how crunchy the cucumbers are.
Tatyana, Nizhny Novgorod region
An unpretentious variety, it grows in my garden bed, I cover the seedlings after planting with plastic bottles (five liters each). The cucumbers are beautiful, without voids inside, with good taste. I often feed with green infused grass, pour the liquid under the cucumbers, and place the liquid around the plants. The smell is not very pleasant, but the cucumbers are just happy and bear fruit well.
The cucumber with the beautiful name Moscow Evenings F1 is one of the best lumpy early ripening hybrids in its group. It bears fruit well in beds and in shelters, is suitable for salads, but its main purpose is pickling and pickling.
Caring for growing bushes
It is recommended to water the plants in the evening, after sunset. For this purpose, water heated by the sun's rays in a barrel is used. It is recommended to water the hybrid with plenty of liquid.
Feeding the bushes is carried out once every 8-10 days. First, nitrogen fertilizers are used. After flowers appear on the plants, fertilizing is carried out with potassium and phosphorus mixtures. When the first fruits form, it is recommended to switch the hybrid to fertilizing with mineral fertilizers.
Loosening the soil is done 1-2 times a week. This improves the aeration of the root system of the hybrid and allows you to get rid of parasites living on the roots of plants.
If dangerous pests such as aphids, mites or flying insects appear on the site, then it is necessary to treat the leaves and stems of plants with chemical toxic substances. At the same time, it is recommended to treat the hybrid with copper sulfate or soap solution. To kill insects, you can use folk remedies, for example, infusions of onion peels or garlic.
Description of cucumbers of the Alliance variety and cultivation of the hybrid
There are 2 types of Alliance cucumbers. The first appeared on the market almost 20 years ago, in 1999. The variety is grown in almost all regions of Russia. This hybrid was bred by Russian breeders. In 2008, a second variety of cucumbers appeared on the market, created by the Dutch company Bejo. The vegetable is an early ripening variety and is grown in the North Caucasus and Nizhny Novgorod regions.
Both species are characterized by consistently high yields and disease resistance. However, they have their own characteristics that must be taken into account when choosing planting material.
Description of the Russian hybrid
Cucumber Alliance F1 is intended for growing in a greenhouse. The ripening period is from 50 to 55 days. The flowers are predominantly female, the plant is parthenocarpic. Bushes of medium height with small leaves with wavy edges. Ovary is cylindrical, from 1 to 3 pcs. in every sinus. The fruits have a regular cucumber shape with a short neck. The size of cucumbers is about 15 cm, weight - from 95 to 115 g, the skin is dense, rich green in color with small white stripes. The plant bears fruit until late autumn.
The yield of the variety depends on the growing region. The minimum yield in the East Siberian region is 6.4 kg per 1 m². The highest figure is in the northwestern territories - 19 kg per 1 m².
The vegetable has excellent taste and is used both fresh and for winter preparations. The main characteristic of the variety is excellent immunity. The plant is not susceptible to diseases such as:
- powdery mildew;
- brown spot;
- peronosporosis.
The fruits are stored for a long time and are easily transported, which makes it possible to grow the vegetable for commercial purposes.
Dutch F1 Alliance
An early ripening variety, no more than 47 days pass from germination to harvesting the first harvest. Pollinated by bees, suitable for growing in open ground. The central branch has no growth restrictions, the leaves are medium sized, dark green. The plant has a powerful root system.
- cylindrical shape;
- fruit length – from 6 to 10 cm;
- weight – 70-90 g;
- the skin is thin, the top is light;
- high transportability;
- rich taste and persistent aroma.
The variety is not afraid of hot summer. In addition, the plant is resistant to temperature changes. You can sow seeds at the end of May, when the night frosts have subsided. The yield of the variety, depending on weather conditions, ranges from 150 to 485 c/ha. Gherkin-type cucumbers, ideal for canning.
The plant is resistant to diseases and pests, and is not afraid of olive spot, mosaic virus, peronospora and powdery mildew.
Sowing and cultivation
The Russian variety Alliance F1 is best sown in a greenhouse, but if planting in open ground is planned, growing seedlings is recommended. Since it is less resistant to temperature changes than the Dutch Alliance F1. Beyo cucumbers can be grown using any method. When pre-sowing seedlings, the first fruits will appear several weeks earlier.
Seedlings are sown a month before planting on the site. First, the seeds need to be germinated. For this, damp gauze is used. After the sprouts appear, they are sown to a depth of 1-2 cm. The soil should be moist. In the room where the seedlings are located, you need to maintain a temperature of +25°C, water the plant several times a week. You can transplant seedlings to the site when the ground warms up to +10°C.
The main requirement is a large amount of sunlight; the area should be illuminated for up to 15 hours a day. At the same time, the plant needs protection from the wind. It is recommended to place tall crops, such as corn, next to the cucumbers.
Watering should be regular; the variety prefers moist but loose soil. The plant is not very tall, so it is necessary to remove weeds in a timely manner. Fertilizing is carried out with mineral complexes. But if the summer turns out to be cool, you can use organic fertilizers. They generate large amounts of heat during the decomposition process.
High yield and excellent taste provide the vegetable with only positive feedback from gardeners. At the same time, the Alliance F1 variety is unpretentious in care; even novice gardeners can grow it.
