Shops and websites of the relevant profile offer many varieties of the most unusual varieties. There may be many options, but for successful cultivation you must first familiarize yourself with the most suitable ones. Conventionally, all varieties can be divided into salad and pickling cucumbers, as well as universal hybrids.

Salad varieties of cucumbers have an elongated shape and thin skin. They are not suitable for storage or pickling, but due to their ideal taste they are used in salads and appetizers. The main advantage, in addition to taste, is the large weight of the fruit, as well as high yield.

The best cucumber seeds - personal experience

Cucumber is an important vegetable on our table.
Cucumber contains a lot of potassium, and potassium, in turn, strengthens the walls of the heart and all blood vessels, and also removes excess water from the body. This is why, after eating a cucumber, we run to the toilet, and not because the cucumber contains only water. Now, having understood the beneficial properties, let's try to choose the best cucumber seeds. The choice of cucumber seeds should also be based on your preferences and requirements. So, it’s time to talk about how I choose cucumber seeds and which ones turned out to be the best for me.

My requirements when choosing cucumber seeds:

— Firstly, as you already understood from previous articles, I prefer to choose hybrids that give their maximum yield, regardless of weather conditions.

— Secondly, I always choose cucumber seeds, where it is written: the seeds are genetically without bitterness. I want to enjoy the sweet taste of a cucumber at any time and in different situations: a small cucumber, or an overgrown one; the garden bed was watered abundantly, or not very much.

— Thirdly, I choose cucumber seeds intended for pickling, not salad seeds. This is an old tradition: when pickled, salad cucumbers form voids inside, and when you eat this cucumber, it splashes water in different directions. Cucumbers intended for pickling are almost all without bitterness, which is why they are bred so that they do not become bitter when pickled.

— Fourthly, I choose parthenocarpic cucumbers. These cucumbers have female flowers and do not require pollination. Why exactly like this? Because cucumbers bloom still under the film, when it is cold, and it is too early to open the cucumbers, and also subsequently the weather may not always be favorable for the flight of bees. And I want to have a guaranteed harvest of cucumbers.

Another reason why I don’t like salad cucumbers: at the end of July or August, when you no longer run to the cucumber patch every day, if you only hesitate for a few days, the salad gherkins turn into round yellow “balls.”

The problem with water is also very acute in summer: in recent years, in summer the air temperature has risen above +36 0C, sometimes reaching +40+42 0C, and there is no water at all. There can be no talk of any watering. In such a situation, pests quickly develop; for example, last year, after prolonged June rains, heat set in.

Some cucumber bushes were badly damaged by spider mites: should I spray them with chemicals and eat them? The Bush Cucumber was attacked by a spider mite. But some hybrids turned out to be great. Especially the hybrid Well done F1.

The cucumbers are all aligned, and even when they outgrow, they do not turn yellow. And even in September we picked fresh cucumbers.

I do the same with cucumber seeds as with tomato seeds: after buying several bags, I plant only half of the seeds. If I like the cucumbers, I plant the remaining seeds. I simply discard the seeds of cucumbers I don’t like and throw them away. And, naturally, I buy several bags of new products.

Don't plant cucumber seeds too close in the garden. Previously, I planted cucumbers at a distance of 30 cm. Now I have come to the conclusion that the larger the feeding area of a cucumber bush, the higher the yield per plant. Now I try to leave about half a meter between two plants. At the beginning of summer, when the cucumber seedlings are still small, the bed with them seems half empty.

A neighbor, looking over the fence, laments: “Fathers, are the cucumbers missing? And mine came up like a brush!” However, when it comes to the harvest, I harvest it in buckets, and she just asks: “Do you have cucumbers? But I don’t have it yet.” Now, with fewer bushes planted, I get a guaranteed stable and high yield of cucumbers.

Enough for food, salting, and the neighbors!

In September, when it gets colder, feed the cucumber bed and cover it with agrospan and polyethylene film. (This option is suitable for those who do not have greenhouses.

) Until the end of October you will be able to enjoy fresh cucumbers from your garden.

Pests and diseases

Pests can be controlled

Pests

The whitefly is a small white midge that drinks the sap of plants and leaves behind sooty fungi. A solution of garlic and water (150 g of garlic per 1 liter of water), which is sprayed on cucumbers, helps against whiteflies.
Aphids like to settle in colonies on leaves and eat them. The consequences of its sabotage are wilting of leaves. A solution of wood ash, soap and water helps against aphids (add 50 g of wood ash and 20 g of soap to 2.5 liters of water).
Spider mites are small mites that leave webs under leaves where they sit. Spraying a soap solution (1 tablespoon of soap per 1 liter of water) on the back side of the leaves helps against them.

If pests have settled on one bush, you need to try to exterminate them before they spread to the rest.

More effective in the fight against parasites are branded drugs “Tanrek”, “Aktellik”, “Commander”, “Fitoverm”, “Vofatox”, “Kinmiks” and others.

Diseases

Diseases most often appear due to the carelessness of site owners.

Powdery mildew. White spots appear on the leaves, gradually spreading throughout the plant. Because of it, the leaves dry out and fruiting stops. To combat the disease, the infected parts are cut off and the plants are sprayed with fungicides (10 g of fungicides per 5 liters of water). If the disease spreads strongly, the bush is destroyed.
Cladosporiosis. Brown cankers appear on the plant and the fruits look rotten. To combat, watering the plant is stopped for 5 days and treated with foundationazole (10 g of foundationazole per 0.5 liter of water). The affected parts of the bush are removed.
White rot. This is a viscous white consistency that causes the fruits and the bush itself to rot. The affected parts of the plant are removed, the bush is treated with a solution of urea, water, zinc sulfate and copper sulfate (10 g of copper sulfate, urea, zinc sulfate per 2 liters of water).
Downy mildew. Small yellow spots on leaves. The disease causes the leaves to dry out, and then the entire plant. Stopping watering and feeding for 3-4 days, as well as subsequent treatments with polycarbacin (10 g per 5 liters of water) will help in the fight against this disease.
Yellowing of leaves. Common yellowing of leaves is often due to a lack of potassium. Spraying the plant with an infusion of ash (200 g per 2.5 liters of water) helps to cope with this.

We must ensure that the disease does not spread from the diseased plant to the healthy one.

If the disease has gone too far, the only option left is to get rid of the planting.

Along the entire length of the main stem, all the buds of the side shoots are plucked out, and the ovaries are left. 2 ZONE. The main stem is wrapped several times around the trellis wire and pinched as soon as it reaches the neighboring plant. All side shoots on this section of the stem are removed. You can grow 20-25-day-old seedlings. The planting density in the greenhouse is 2-3 plants per 1 m2. The hybrid requires regular feeding. The filling of the ovaries in the bunch is consistent, so the fruits need to be collected daily so that food can easily flow to the developing fruits.

The variety is quickly gaining popularity among farmers and ordinary gardeners due to its excellent yield and bunched ovaries. With proper care, one bush is enough to supply the whole family with vitamins and prepare them for the winter.

Growing and care

Upon disembarkation

When planting seedlings per 1 sq. m place 3-4 plants. A little wood ash and superphosphate are placed in the holes. If the seeds are sown directly into the soil, then it is prepared in the fall - they dig it up and apply organic fertilizers.

After landing

The beds are watered every 3-4 days or daily in hot weather. They use warm water, which is previously left in barrels in the sun. Do not allow the soil to dry out or sit in water for a long time, otherwise the roots will suffer.

Supports are built for the lashes and the bushes are tied up. Regularly weed the weeds and carefully loosen the soil so as not to damage the roots.

Feed 2-3 times per season, using organic solutions of manure and bird droppings, as well as mineral fertilizers.

Plants need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. A balanced amount of these substances is contained in superphosphate, potassium nitrate, ammophosphate, and urea.

Pros and cons of the Little Humpbacked Horse raspberry

The Little Humpbacked Horse is great both for growing raspberries “for yourself” and for production scale. The variety has a number of advantages:

large and very tasty fruits that ripen faster than other representatives of this crop;
Every year the level of raspberry productivity increases;
the berries can easily withstand long-term transportation;
raspberries reproduce easily and quickly, so you don’t have to spend money on a large number of seedlings;
The Little Humpbacked Horse begins to bear fruit already in the first year after planting;
The variety is relatively resistant to light frosts;
the variety is quite unpretentious in terms of care;

As you can see, raspberries have a sufficient number of positive aspects. But, despite their large number, the bush also has a number of negative aspects:

The humpbacked horse sends out many shoots, which in a short period of time can clog the entire area. It is necessary to constantly monitor the bush and the degree of its growth.
You need to monitor the pH level of the soil: if it is acidic, then the raspberries will not produce a large harvest.

Attention! Comparing the positive and negative aspects of raspberry varieties, you can see that the advantages prevail by a large margin. It is for this reason that gardeners look forward to the appearance of the Little Humpbacked Horse with such impatience.

Varieties and hybrids

Tournament

Chic
branching includes early ripening sprinter hybrids that give away most of the harvest in the 1st month of fruiting: F1 Alphabet, F1 Cupid, F1 Regina-plus, F1 Bouquet, F1 Balalaika, etc. There are practically no side shoots - i.e. They are very short (up to 10-15 cm) “bouquet branches” - with close internodes, often without leaves, which stop growing on their own. Such bouquet branches with filling greens look like bunches of fruits.
Salad cucumbers have medium-sized smooth or lumpy fruits. Greens have no bitterness, they have a crispy, sweetish flesh and are eaten fresh (F1 Zozulya, F1 Bazaar, F1 Bukhara, F1 Tamerlane, F1 Kochubey, F1 Marta, F1 Makar, etc.).

The seeds of greenhouse cucumbers that are best suited for fresh consumption include the following varieties:

Features of cultivation

Agricultural technology is standard, cultivation is through seedlings or sowing seeds directly into the ground (on ridges or in shelters). The second option is suitable for the southern regions; summer residents usually sow cucumbers as seedlings in pots, and only then transplant them to a permanent place.

Sowing seeds

The timing of sowing is determined taking into account the future location of the crop and the climate of the area. When sowing directly into the ground, the soil should warm up to +15ºC, the same indicators should be when planting cucumber seedlings. Count back 20-25 days from the expected planting day, add another 4-5 days for germination and get the approximate date for sowing cucumbers.

For seedlings, cups and peat pots are used.

On a note!

Hybrid seeds are sold in packs of 8-10 pieces. They have good germination, so it is recommended to sow one seed in each pot.

Manufacturers indicate on the seed packaging whether additional processing is required. But most often, hybrids are already completely ready for sowing.

Planting in the ground, greenhouse

Seedlings using the seedling method of cultivation are planted in the ground at the age of 22-25 days. In the middle zone they are planted on ridges at the end of May, in the northern regions - at the beginning of June.

The timing of landing in shelters is 10-15 days earlier. To protect against possible cold snaps, the seedlings are additionally covered with non-woven material. 2-3 Connie bushes are planted per 1 square meter. A vigorous hybrid requires a large feeding area; when thickened, the greens form more slowly.

Organic matter (mullein, rotted compost, humus) and ash are first added to the soil. The seedlings are planted carefully, trying not to damage the roots of the cucumbers. Plastic cups are convenient to use, they cut and remove the plant along with the earthen lump.

Care

After planting, cucumbers are not watered for 4-5 days, providing conditions for the plant to adapt and form the root system. In the future, watering is regular, abundant, taking into account the condition of the plants and weather conditions.

On a note!

It is advisable to irrigate the crop in specially prepared furrows or between rows. Prevent moisture from getting on the leaves of the plant.

When the fruits are forming, the watering rate is increased (especially for greenhouse cucumbers). Use only settled and heated (up to +20ºC…+22ºC) water.

Watering is combined with fertilizing. At the stage of formation of green mass, nitrogen additives are introduced (mullein, urea); from the moment of budding, nitrogen is reduced, giving priority to potassium and phosphorus fertilizers.

Approximate diagram:

before flowering - organic, Agricola-5;
at the flowering stage - humates, potassium sulfate, superphosphate;
in the fruiting phase - nitrophoska, gricola-5, universal fertilizer Barrier.

Feed the plants in the evening or in the early hours, observing the norms for adding additives. After irrigation and fertilizing, the soil is loosened, preventing the formation of a dense crust. From the second half of summer, when cucumbers grow strongly, it is recommended to pierce the soil several times with a pitchfork instead of loosening. When growing in a greenhouse, air and soil humidity are controlled. Cucumbers like to grow in warm conditions, but do not tolerate drought or drafts.

On a note!

It is not recommended to grow tomatoes and cucumbers in the same greenhouse, since these crops have different regimes and agricultural practices.

Protection from pests and diseases

To prevent the appearance of pests, cucumbers are sprayed:

infusion of tobacco dust, chamomile (for cucumber bugs);
solution of the drug Actofit (for whiteflies);
decoction of tomato tops (for spider mites).

The Connie hybrid is resistant to various infections, but only with proper agricultural technology and preventive treatments. Gardeners often grow different varieties and hybrids on their plots, so there is always a risk of contracting an infection.

Particular attention is paid to plants in greenhouses, since shelters create favorable conditions for fungal and bacterial infections.

Prevention:

treatment of seeds before sowing in a solution of Epin, zinc sulfate;
spraying the bushes with Bordeaux mixture and copper oxychloride (2 times per season).

Harvesting

The first greens are removed approximately 47 days after the plants emerge. The hybrid is distinguished by extended fruiting, so the collection of cucumbers continues until autumn.

Despite the fact that the fruits do not overgrow or turn yellow, it is advisable to collect cucumbers once every 2-3 days. This will allow all the fruits to ripen and increase the overall yield. The first batches are used for summer salads and fresh food; cucumbers harvested in August and September are used for pickles and marinades.

We started planting Connie F1 cucumbers back in 2005. They've been one of our favorites ever since. We grow seedlings in open ground every season. At first, the cucumbers, densely covered with small tubercles, seemed unusual and unsuitable for pickling, since they did not have black prickly thorns. But it turned out that they are perfectly salted and marinated, do not get soggy and do not become empty inside. We happily eat them fresh straight from the garden almost all summer and close a lot of them for the winter.

Tamara Stroeva, 75 years old
We have a vegetable garden with a glass-enclosed greenhouse in the Moscow region. There is not much space, so we plant 5-10 bushes of proven parthenocarpics: Zozulya, Konny, Vstrechny. Longer cucumbers are used for food, and Connie's small gherkins are mainly used for canning. It’s convenient that they don’t outgrow, even if you can’t come often and harvest on time. We also take care of the bushes as much as possible. We try to water twice a week and add organic fertilizer when it’s supposed to. These hybrids are quite productive, but they are also good because they can withstand our weather conditions and hardly get sick.

The cucumber variety Connie f1 has been planted for several years. I liked its yield, taste and quality of cucumbers, their even, uniform presentation. But they can be stored even in the refrigerator for no more than 3-5 days. So you need to eat it or process it right away. We switched to other varieties.

Svetlana Kuznetsova, 46 years old
I am very pleased with Connie F1 cucumbers. Unpretentious and strong, they delight with the friendly ripening of gherkins several times a season. The greens are small and neat, smooth and non-thorny, the flesh is tender but dense, so juicy that in the heat you can quench your thirst with them. The taste and aroma are excellent! Simply ideal for homemade preparations. In the summer I make lightly salted ones, and in the winter I salt them in a ceramic tub and seal them with pickled ones in jars. The cucumbers look very appetizing and remain crunchy and strong.

Alina Goldman, 26 years old
I am a beginner gardener, and this year, on the recommendation of my parents, I planted Connie and Courage cucumbers. The seeds all sprouted and grew well. They say that there are no difficulties with them, but it took me a long time to figure out how to form the bushes correctly, because they always stretched up and to the sides, and the harvest was very small. True, when I removed the lower stepsons and trimmed the side shoots, the ovaries began to appear in whole bouquets and fill up much faster. I liked the taste of the cucumbers - there was not a single bitter taste, the seeds were small, the flesh was very juicy and aromatic. During the season, 2.5-3 kg were collected from each bush.

How to get a harvest of cucumbers in cold summer

First, check the long-range weather forecast for your area. What do the services promise: drought, rain, heat, cold?

To increase cold resistance, cucumber seeds are hardened and treated with stimulants. A week before planting in the ground, seedlings are kept at temperatures up to 16 ... 18 ° C. In good weather, you can take it out onto the balcony, but just do not place it in direct sunlight.

If the forecast predicts a cold June, planting in open ground begins as soon as the threat of frost has passed and the soil has warmed up. Covering plants with lutrasil or film will help protect plants from cold weather. Don't rush to take it off! If you remove the cover in cold weather, the growth of plants and fruits will stop.

Due to abrupt changes in the growth rate, crooked or “constricted” fruits may appear. Only when the weather is very hot and the covers can cause leaf burns are they opened slightly during the daytime. If you remove the covers completely, the plants are early damaged by powdery mildew. For ventilation, it is enough to raise the shelter on one side.

Cucumbers are a moisture-loving crop, but in cool and rainy weather the frequency and volume of watering should be reduced. In greenhouses and greenhouses, plants are watered in the first half of the day only with warm water (not lower than 18 ... 20 ° C). During prolonged cloudy weather, it is recommended to feed the plants leaf by leaf with complex water-soluble fertilizers with microelements at a concentration of 0.1% (1 g of fertilizer per 1 liter of water).

Often, due to sudden changes in temperature, plants stop growing vegetative mass and instead form a large number of female flowers with ovaries at the top of the shoot. If the topping is not strong, you need to remove the ovaries or greens at the bottom of the stem and several large ones at the top; if it is strong, all the ovaries and flowers at the top are removed. Feed the plants leaf by leaf with nitrogen fertilizers or growth stimulants (Epin-extra, Zircon).

Landing

To grow a crop in a greenhouse, seeds are sown for seedlings in early April, for open ground - at the end of the month. You can sow directly on the beds at the end of May-June, but only in the southern regions with long summers.

Cucumbers need loose, nutritious soil with good drainage and acidity pH 6-7. In a permanent place, it should be heated to +14 or higher; for seedlings to germinate, +20-25 degrees is required.

The seed of hybrids does not need to be treated with anything. For seedlings, prepare small peat pots with a diameter of 12 cm and a nutrient substrate. Place 1-2 grains in each container, moisten them, cover them with film and germinate in a warm place. The emerging sprouts are moved to a sunny place and the temperature is provided at +18-20 degrees.

Super bunch cucumbers - why they are good and which seeds to choose

Adding an article to a new collection

A real summer resident's dream is cucumbers that do not require pollination, are not afraid of bad weather and diseases, and bring a generous harvest of crunchy, aromatic fruits. All this is possible if you sow high-quality cucumber seeds with superbunched ovaries.

Without exaggeration, the cucumber can be called the king of garden beds. However, many summer residents still remember the old traditional varieties of cucumbers and the problems that accompanied their cultivation: a large number of barren flowers, diseases, bitter fruits and, alas, often modest harvests.

Agrofirm AELITA has found a solution to these problems! The pride of the company is early parthenocarpic cucumber hybrids with a bunched ovary arrangement. These hybrids do not require pollination by bees, and the plants are completely free of barren flowers. And the main distinguishing quality of these cucumbers is their resistance to diseases and adverse weather conditions.

Summer resident's dream F1

The name speaks for itself - this is, of course, our most popular parthenocarpic hybrid in recent years. It is distinguished by its ultra-earliness (the period from germination to the beginning of fruiting is 38-42 days) and disease resistance.

The plant is powerful, with short internodes, which makes it ideal for growing in low garden greenhouses and on balconies, where there is a limit on the length of the vine.

Thanks to this same feature, the total number of nodes on the plant increases. Considering that at least 6-10 cucumbers ripen in each node, the total yield reaches 8 kg per plant.

The hybrid Summer Resident's Dream is unpretentious and tolerates lack of light, which allows it to be used in shaded areas.
