Planting cucumbers in open ground, seeds or seedlings - when to plant and how to grow correctly

Cucumber

- one of the main vegetable crops, which is consumed both fresh and in pickles or canning, but the yield of this agricultural plant will be low without observing the timing of planting seedlings or in a greenhouse. To correctly determine the timing of sowing in 2022, it is necessary to take into account several basic rules that are known to agronomists, but are not always available to beginning gardeners.

It is impossible to imagine a Russian garden without cucumbers. And even though this vegetable contains practically no nutrients, crunching a green cucumber straight from the garden is an undoubted pleasure. Everyone plants cucumbers, because it is not at all difficult to do. For very early consumption, they even grow seedlings, but even when sowing seeds directly into the garden bed, summer harvests are always guaranteed.

When to plant cucumbers in 2022?

Cucumbers have a very vulnerable root system, so it is better to grow them by sowing seeds immediately in a permanent place.

  • Sowing of seeds is carried out in May-June, when warm weather sets in.
  • If the crop is grown by seedlings, then planting begins 30-35 days before planting the plants in open ground.
  • In the southern regions, it is recommended to start sowing seeds for seedlings in mid- or late April, and in the northern regions in mid-May.

When growing cucumbers in heated greenhouses, seedlings begin to be planted in February. Such early cultivation is associated with a number of difficulties, so it is better to sow the seeds on favorable days. The Lunar Sowing Calendar for gardeners and gardeners for 2022 will help you choose such days.
