It would seem that growing cucumbers in a greenhouse would not be difficult even for a novice amateur. However, unlike cucumber varieties for open ground, in order to get a guaranteed harvest, you need to wisely select varieties specifically designed for cultivation in closed ground. Parthenocarpic and self-pollinating varieties that do not require pollinators make it possible to grow cucumbers in protected ground under any weather conditions. A special approach is needed when choosing varieties for polycarbonate and heated winter greenhouses.

Most modern varieties and hybrids of cucumbers have excellent taste, decent yield, and complex resistance to viral and fungal infections. For lovers of experiments and exotics, there is always a chance to try Dutch new products and proven varieties.

Bunch varieties of cucumbers for the greenhouse

Varieties and hybrids of bunch-type cucumbers allow you to harvest decent harvests even in limited areas. In addition, bunch varieties are a godsend for summer residents who cannot visit their plots every day.

Among the bunched cucumbers recommended for growing in greenhouses, we can recommend the following varieties:

Description of salad cucumbers

Salad cucumbers most often have an elongated shape and thin skin. However, they are completely unsuitable for storage and pickling. They are distinguished from other varieties by their ideal taste, which makes salad varieties especially good in salads and appetizers. And yet, such cucumbers are always an order of magnitude more productive than pickled varieties. This is due to the greater weight of the fruit.

Differences between salad and pickling cucumbers

The main differences between salad cucumbers and pickling cucumbers

:

1. Salad cucumbers usually have thin skin with a small number of tubercles, or completely smooth. If spines are present, they are usually white in color. The pulp of such cucumbers is sweeter, juicier and more aromatic. Thanks to this, they are irreplaceable in salads. But when canned, salad cucumbers become soft and tasteless. The marinade with such cucumbers becomes cloudy, which often leads to jar explosions.
2. Cucumbers for pickling and canning have a surface with a large number of tubercles with black spines. It is through the holes after the thorns that the brine or marinade quickly penetrates into the cucumber. And therefore, the marinade or brine never becomes cloudy. The pulp of pickling cucumbers is usually less juicy, dense and aromatic.

On a note

!

Varieties of salad cucumbers most often have earlier ripening dates. And yet, salad cucumbers do not taste bitter, unlike pickled ones. Important

! During salting, the bitterness disappears.

How are varieties of salad cucumbers classified?

According to ripening time

:

1. Ultra-early (35 - 40 days).
2. Early (40 - 45 days).
3. Mid-early (45 - 50 days).
4. Mid-season (50 - 55 days).
5. Late ripening (55 or more).

By purpose

:

• Salad. Only for salad.
• Universal.

There are also cucumbers

:

1. Varietal.
2. Hybrid.
3. Beams
4. Bee pollinated.
5. Parthenocarpic.

We read here what types of cucumbers there are in general.

Advantages and disadvantages of salad cucumbers

Advantages

:

1. Among salad cucumbers, there are many varieties with early ripening.
2. Basically, such varieties are parthenocarpic (self-pollinating).
3. Large fruit. Large fruits are obtained without loss of taste.

Flaws

:

1. Lower resistance to diseases. Although there are hybrids that have excellent disease resistance.
2. These cucumbers are used only for salads. Salad cucumbers are not suitable for pickling or pickling.
3. Most often, such cucumbers do not bear fruit for a long time.
4. They also don't store well.

Self-pollinating varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses

Self-pollinating and parthenocarpic varieties and hybrids are perfect for growing in greenhouses when there is no hope for weather, and the arrival of pollinating bees is in question.

Rules for choosing a variety

When selecting cucumbers for planting in a greenhouse or greenhouse, personal preferences and climate characteristics are taken into account:

1. Pay attention to regionalization.
2. Type of pollination.
3. Select according to ripening time. Early ripening ones die faster, and late ripening ones tolerate stress and illness more easily.
4. They determine where the crop will be planted - on open ground or in a greenhouse.
5. Desired harvest volume.
6. Use fresh and for preservation.

When choosing a hybrid or variety of cucumber, preference is given to parthenocarpic and self-pollinating ones , and attention is paid to the methods of consumption (universal, pickling, salad).

Disease resistance, play an important role . It is advisable to plant species with different ripening periods.

Reviews from gardeners

Among the wide range of cucumber seeds, gardeners need constant practical experiments to identify their favorites. Here are some reviews from summer residents about greenhouse varieties of cucumbers, taken from gardening forums:

Lyudmila, Tver. I'm crazy about Gluttony. I only planted 3 bushes, but there were enough cucumbers for every day and for pickling. They don't outgrow, there are no thorns. I planted them in well-rotted compost, let them go along the support, and they grew like that.

Semenova Yu., Biysk. I took the Marinda hybrid for testing. There was little space, so I formed it into 1 stem on a trellis. I was pleased with the ovaries, there are 5-7 pieces in each, and there is nothing complicated in caring for them: water them on time and feed them. I live in Altai, where harvesting before September is rare. The hybrid needs neutral soil, but mine is acidic, so I added ash.

Gennady, Yaroslavl. I plant at least 2 dozen varieties of different cucumbers. I noticed Ajax, Herman, Masha, Zozulya. They are the most productive, they hardly get sick, I get almost a bucket from 1 bush.

Possible problems when growing early greenhouse cucumbers

When growing early greenhouse varieties, it often happens that the plant’s leaves wither, spots or plaque appears on the leaf blade. Most often, beginners are faced with the problem of drying foliage. Experienced vegetable growers identify several reasons for this phenomenon:

• sudden changes in temperature;
• poor watering;
• improper application of fertilizers;
• planting next to tomatoes that prefer dry air;
• thickened planting;
• development of the disease.

On a note!

If the ovaries begin to turn yellow and fall off, you should check the temperature conditions, since at temperatures above 36˚C the plant sheds them.

By the foliage you can determine what the crop lacks:

• leaves curled up indicate a lack of phosphorus;
• a brown border appears along the edges of the foliage - it is necessary to apply potassium fertilizers or feed with ash;
• the formation of small and light-colored leaves indicates a lack of nitrogen;
• green foliage with a yellow tint – lack of microelements (can be fed with universal microfertilizer).

Sometimes it happens that parthenocarpic varieties form the wrong shape of vegetables: they grow ugly or hook-shaped. This happens when parthenocarpic plants are pollinated by bees.

Early cucumber varieties for greenhouses

It is convenient to grow early-ripening varieties of cucumbers in greenhouses and get the first harvest at the beginning of summer. The earliest varieties of cucumbers include those cultivars that ripen in less than 40 days from the moment of full germination.

Among the early ripening cucumbers intended for growing in a greenhouse, we can recommend:

Pollination and timing of ripening

Those who have decided to grow cucumbers on their own for the first time should be sure to know that the seeds of this crop are not only divided into hybrids, varieties, and types, but also differ in the timing of fruiting and the way in which they are pollinated.

There are three types according to the method of pollination:

• self-pollinating;
• parthenocarpic;
• pollinated by insects.

How are they different? The latter type is capable of pollination, as the name implies, only due to the transfer of pollen from flower to flower with the help of insects. A person can pollinate such varieties manually. The second, parthenocarpic, have flowers that are mostly female, and in order for them to produce green flowers, they do not need pollination at all.

Insect-pollinated varieties can be pollinated by hand

On a note! Fruits obtained from parthenocarpic cucumbers often lack seeds completely or partially.

But self-pollinating cucumbers have bisexual flowers that have pistils and stamens. Such plants are capable of pollinating on their own.

Advice! It will be extremely difficult to drive pollinators in the required quantity into a greenhouse, so parthenocarpic cucumbers or self-pollinating species are traditionally grown in it. Insect-pollinated plants are usually grown outdoors.

Cucumbers can be divided according to the time it takes them to grow and develop before fruiting begins, into:

• super early;
• early;
• mid-early;
• mid-season;
• late ripening.

The first two types include species from which the harvest can be obtained as quickly as possible. Some begin to bear fruit just 40 days after the sprouts appear. Mid-early ones produce the first cucumbers on about 47 days, and from mid-early ones you will get them no earlier than 51-52 days later. Late ones bear fruit in 55-56 days.

Diagram of cucumber growth phases

Advice! To keep fresh cucumbers on your table for as long as possible, it is best to cultivate several different varieties in a greenhouse that differ in the ripening time of the cucumbers.

Dutch varieties of cucumbers for greenhouses

Those who like to experiment in their own dacha can try Dutch exotica. The recommended varieties are included in the state register and are suitable for growing in greenhouses under Russian conditions. Among the Dutch representatives, the following varieties can be distinguished: Angelina (2008), Gunnar (2014), Hector (2002) and Betina .

Angelina

Early maturing Dutch hybrid. A typical parthenocarpic for salad purposes. The plant belongs to the indeterminate type, it is of average growth vigor, with a predominantly female flowering type. Zelentsy are quite short, their shape is cylindrical, the surface is tuberculate, and the pubescence is whitish and very sparse. The cucumbers grow quite small - from 60 to 60 g. The taste is excellent. The variety is not affected by cladosporiosis.

Gunnar

Mid-season in terms of ripening, both for salad and canning purposes. It is a parthenocarpic that does not require pollination, of an indeterminate type with predominantly female flowers on the plant. The greenery itself is short, has a spindle shape and large tubercles on the surface; in nutritious soil and with sufficient moisture it reaches 118 g. The variety is rated the highest in taste. Productivity per 1 m² is 20.9 kilograms. In addition, this variety is resistant to cladosporiosis.

Hector

It is distinguished by early ripeness, belongs to the salad type, but is also often used in the canning industry. This is a determinate plant, having the form of a large bush, although quite compact with a predominance of female flowers on it. Zelentsy have a cylindrical shape, green color, rare but rather large tubercles and whitish pubescence. Greenery on good and nutritious soil often exceeds 100 g, its length is about 13 cm, and its diameter is just over 3.4 cm. The taste is simply excellent. Productivity is low - only 4 kg per 1 m². The good thing about this variety is that it is completely resistant to cucumber olive spot, cucumber mosaic virus, and powdery mildew.
