We grow cucumbers in the open ground: popular fruit varieties

This year, the cucumber beds did not particularly please us. Whether the lack of rain or the seeds turned out to be "wrong". Tell me, which cucumbers are the most productive for open ground? I would like to make sure in advance to be in the next season with vegetables.

The choice of seeds is a responsible business for truck farmers, especially for cucumbers. The thermophilic culture has a relatively short vegetation period in comparison with the other "garden inhabitants". In addition, the summer, at first warm and moist, quickly becomes hot and lean for rainfall. Therefore, gardeners are important to have time to grow vegetables, while the whips and ovaries are not burned under the scorching sun rays.

In the presence of a greenhouse, the timing and periods of fruiting vegetables can be controlled, but on the beds it all depends on the weather. In this case, it is necessary to choose the most suitable varieties that meet the requirements and regional conditions of cultivation.

Before talking about which varieties are the most productive for open ground, it is worth noting that the most suitable for beds are self-pollinated cucumbers.

When choosing a variety of cucumbers, you should also pay attention to such factors as:

• the size of the fruit;
• for what they will be used (conservation or salad);
• resistance to disease and adverse weather conditions.

If the region is characterized by a short summer - it is better to plant early ripened cucumbers, in the case of a long summer period, late varieties are suitable.
