For the prevention of powdery mildew (this is the most common disease of cucumbers), it is necessary to spray on the leaves not only from above, but also necessarily from below with a solution of potassium permanganate (3 g per 10 liters of water). Signs of powdery mildew - a whitish bloom appears on both sides of the leaf.

After germination, when the first 5-7 leaves appear, I sprinkle the plants with the prepared soil.Often greenhouse cucumbers are affected by downy mildew. Another name for this disease is peronosrosis. Typical signs of the disease - rounded yellow or brown spots appear on the upper side of the cucumber leaf. Leaves, stems then dry up, a whitish bloom becomes visible on them. For this disease to appear, it is enough for the leaves of your plants to be wet for 6 hours, in droplets of water. That is, the main reason is high air humidity (above 80%), as well as temperatures below 20-22 ° C. Such conditions contribute to the rapid spread of the disease. Therefore, watering, processing in the greenhouse no later than 16 hours, be sure to ventilate so that the leaves dry before nightfall.12, 13, 23, 24 13, 14, 17, 18, 21-23 17, 18, 24-28 19-25, 30 5-7, 11, 12, 15 13-19 6, 7, 13-17 10-14 2, 3 29, 30 It is very convenient to water the cucumbers in such holes, since the water does not spread, but it gets to the roots of the plant. By the way, cucumbers should be watered only under the root with water heated in the sun. After almost every watering, I mulch the soil with dry grass, sawdust or hay. Mulch keeps the soil near the roots of the cucumber moist. Constant moisture at the roots is very beneficial for them - after all, the drying out of the soil, uneven watering is one of the reasons why cucumbers are bitter.When the first signs of the disease appear, make such a therapeutic and prophylactic feeding: add 1 liter of milk and 10 drops of iodine to 9 liters of water . 10-11, 19-21 13-15, 18, 19 15, 16.21-28 17, 18, 21, 22, 27-29 8-10, 13, 14 9-15 10-14, 18, 19 7-15 2, 3, 21, 22, 29, 30 I would like to share one more experience of keeping the soil moist. Gardeners claim that this method will protect your crops from weeds.Fertilizing with a solution of urea (carbamide) - 1 g of urea per 1 liter of water) also gives good results. It is both a prophylactic agent against downy mildew and a good nitrogen fertilization that will help plants grow stronger. 6, 7, 15-19 12, 13, 16-18 salad 17, 18, 24-28 9 , 10, 13 5-12 9-11, 14, 15 3-12 3, 4 22, 24, 27, 28 Before sticking cucumber seeds or seedling bushes in the ground, put a piece of thick cardboard on top (cardboard boxes are thrown out in large quantities near any store) with a hole cut out in the middle. Sow seeds or plant seedlings in this hole. Cardboard will retain moisture, prevent weeds from germinating. You don't have to loosen the ground either. If after a while you slightly lift a sheet of cardboard, you will see moist soil, earthworms, they will loosen the soil for you near your cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers or eggplants.Good results are obtained by preventive spraying with copper-containing preparations - Bordeaux liquid (1% solution) or HOM (see instructions). Spraying with these preparations is especially useful if it is rainy, cloudy weather, night temperatures are below the recommended limit. 13-17 8-10, 12-14, 19-21 13, 14, 17-19, 21-23 15, 16, 21-28 6, 7, 11, 12 3-9, 14, 15, 30, 31 3-7, 11, 12 3-9, 13-14 1, 19, 20, 27, 28 As you can see, the answer to the question - how to grow cucumbers in a drought - is not so difficult. Cucumbers love moisture, and our tips will help you keep it in. For downy mildew, it doesn't matter where your cucumbers grow - in the greenhouse or in the open field. This disease can develop wherever he wants. The insidiousness of this disease is that it can equally successfully infect your cucumbers in hot, dry weather.If moisture, dew droplets remain on the leaves for more than 6 hours, then the disease with downy mildew is more than likely. That is, watering, feeding, spraying, especially in the greenhouse, spend at such a time that all the leaves are dry by night. Therefore, preventive spraying is necessary even in hot weather.9-15, 21, 22 9-11, 17-21 9-11, 13-15, 18, 19 sunflower

Thanks to him, you can calculate the timing of sowing seeds for seedlings. When to sow cabbage for seedlings? When to plant tomatoes for seedlings? When to plant seedlings? Planting calendar - when to sow cucumbers on it? When to plant potatoes? When to plant garlic in the fall, before winter? When to plant peppers for seedlings? When to transplant pepper seedlings? When to dive pepper seedlings? When to plant onions in spring? When to plant onions on a turnip? When to sow peas? There are answers to all these questions in the moon sowing calendar.To protect your cucumbers from aphids in the garden, it is useful to sow dill along the edges of the beds, which will attract ladybirds, surf flies (hoverflies), natural enemies of aphids. 5- 12, 17-20 6, 7, 13-17 12-18, 8-14, 19-21 13, 14, 21-23 4, 5, 9, 29-31 8 -10, 12, 30 4, 5, 9, 10-13 1-3, 6, 7-11, 12 17, 18, 27-29 Peanuts - 25.04-05.05 From aphids , other pests are well helped by processing cucumbers with such a composition: add 3 tablespoons of ammonia to a bucket of water. This treatment repels pests while feeding your plants. Repeat it every 10-14 days. 3, 4, 14, 15, 30, 31 10-15, 18, 19 8-14, 19-21 9-11, 13-19 1, 2, 5, 6, 25-29 onions 6-8, 11, 12 peas, 17, 18, 24-28
Watermelons - 25.04-10.05
To combat pests of cucumbers and at the same time, the following mixture is used as a top dressing - 100 g of superphosphate + 50 g of potassium chloride is diluted in 10 liters of water. It is better to spray plants with this solution in the evening.11, 12, 26, 28 7-11, 14, 15 8-11, 14-21 12-17 1-5, 8, 24-31 For a turnip cabbage, beans, 15, 16, 21-23 Eggplants - 15.04-30.04; - - *** - - 8-10 3-7, 11 , 12, 15 6, 7, 10-19 8-14, 19-21 1, 23-28 4-6, 31 incl. colored beans watermelons Rutabaga, turnip - 01.03 - 20.03; I introduced you to some methods of combating diseases of cucumbers in the garden, protecting them from pests with the help of fertilizing, fertilizers. The practical experience presented in the article, of course, is not only mine. Rather, I tried almost all of this on my site, but it was not invented by me. This is the experience of several generations of gardeners. Surely, it can be supplemented. Write in the comments if you use fertilizing and fertilizers as measures to combat diseases, pests of cucumbers in the garden. Which? How? Forbidden days 3-5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 30, 31 10-19 8-13, 17-21

Everyone, as a rule, really wants something that has not ripened yet or is just beginning to sing. And when it has already ripened for everyone and there is a lot of it, then you do not want so much. And we pay big money for early vegetables and fruits of unknown quality. And the fact that in our country there is a scam at every step is known to everyone. Here's a real example. Market vendors who have cucumbers from wholesale markets on their counters buy fresh cucumbers from a trusted local peasant for their personal consumption. It doesn't last long on the cucumber market. They are already waiting for him there. He brought cucumbers, immediately sold them and left. From this we can conclude that everything local, fresh, early is in high demand and is always in price. But back to cucumbers ... 10-12 dill 3-9, 13, 14, 30, 31 7-11, 14, 15 1, 19-29 4, 5, 23- 25 8, 9, 12-14, 19-21 2-10, 12-14, 19-21 8-10, 12-14, 19-21 Cabbage, incl. color - 25.03 - 05.04; In this article, we will consider a method of growing cucumbers in the open field as early as possible. The method is quite simple, but effective. The greenhouse method is not considered here, since not everyone has greenhouses. This article will consider the method of obtaining early cucumbers using greenhouses, or, as they say now, using temporary film shelters. 7, 8 13, 14, 19-23 4, 5, 9, 10, 13 3-12 19, 20, 24, 25, 30 21, 22, 27-29 10, 11, 17-21 10, 11, 17-21 10-13, 19 -21 Potatoes - Feb windows - 15.03; All information is given from practical experience. I have done so successfully myself. This method is practiced by our local gardeners. And one of them even put this business on stream - for many years he has been growing early cucumbers for sale in greenhouses. 6, 7, 9 9-11, 13-15, 18, 19 1-3, 6- 8, 11, 12, 20 3-5, 13, 14, 30, 31 17, 18, 21, 22, 27, 28 24-26 6, 7, 13-15 6 , 7, 13-17 6, 7, 13-17 Corn - 15.03 - 15.04; And so, more about getting early cucumbers. 2, 3, 7, 29, 30 12-18 , 21, 22 beets 2-5, 9-10, 13 17, 18, 24-28 21, 22
10, 11, 18, 19 10-14, 18, 19 10-14, 18, 19 Onions per feather - 25.03 - 05.04; We prepare the plot for cucumbers in the fall - we dig up and fertilize. We fertilize with what is available. Just remember that cucumbers have a high need for phosphorus and potassium. And still it is necessary to exclude fertilizers containing chlorine. You can find out more in the material on fertilizing vegetables in the garden. If you didn't fertilize with anything, it doesn't matter. Everything will grow, maybe a little worse. 6, 26, 27 8-14, 17-21 1-3, 9, 28-31 6-8, 11, 12 14-16, 21-28 17, 18 7, 8, 14, 15 7-11, 14, 15 7-11, 19, 20, 27, 28
Onions for a turnip - 25.03 - 10.04; The best predecessors for cucumbers are onions, garlic, peas, carrots. With this, everything is clear. 5, 23, 24 7-11, 14-21 1, 2, 5, 6, 25-29 tomatoes pepper - 3-7, 11 , 12, 15 3-7, 11, 12, 15 3-7, 15 Carrots - 20.02 - 20.03; There is, of course, a large field for experiments. It is definitely necessary to choose early self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) cucumber hybrids. Whether there will be bees in the spring or not - no one knows, but you want cucumbers. Personally, I have successfully used the self-pollinated hybrid Buyan F1. It is characterized by a high yield - up to 13 kg per sq.m. It is early maturing - it gives a harvest in 40-45 days. And most importantly - Buyan F1 is very resistant to unfavorable growing conditions. 5, 20, 21 6, 7, 10-19 3-5, 8, 24-27, 31 13, 14, 17, 18, 21-23 sweet 26-28 8, 9, 13, 14 3-9, 13, 14, 30, 31 3-5, 13, 14, 20, 31 Cucumbers - 25.04 - 05.05; 05.06 - 25.06; Of course, we grow cucumber seedlings. There is nothing complicated here. Since cucumbers have an extremely delicate root system, we grow without diving. 2, 16-18 8-19 1, 4, 5, 23, 24, 27, 28 18-19 13, 14, 17, 28, 21-23 23-28 4, 5, 9, 10, 13 4, 5, 9, 10, 13 4, 5, 9, 10 Patissons - 15.04 - 30.04: There is a lot of information on the Internet about growing seedlings. You just need to use the search through Yandex or Google. And they often write that this is almost a whole science and you need to devote a lot of time to it. But, I think, many, besides cucumbers, have enough worries. Therefore, we keep it simple. 1, 13, 14 7-11, 14, 15 2, 3, 24-26, 29, 30 16-18 9-11, 13-15, 18 , 19 raspberries 6-8, 11, 12 1-3, 6-8, 10-11 6-8, 11, 12 Sunflower - 15.03 - 20.04; Many for one greenhouse seedlings are not required. It all fits on one windowsill on the sunny side of the house. 1-2 packs of seeds are enough. 1, 10-12, 30 3-12, 15 2, 3, 20-22, 25, 26, 29, 30 12-14, 19-21 12, 13, 16-18 13, 14, 17, 18 potatoes melons eggplants Pasternak - 20.02 - 20.03; We prepare the soil for seedlings as follows. 6-8, 29 3-9, 13, 14, 30, 31 3, 4, 22-24, 27, 28, 31 10, 11, 19-21 8-10, 12-14, 19-21 9-11, 18, 19 1-5, 8, 9, 29-31 13, 14, 21-23 13, 14, 21-23
Sweet pepper - 25.04 - 10.05; From autumn, we collect good earth in some containers and put it in a barn until spring. We harvest the land from the area where the shrubs grow. Those. where any vegetables, let alone cucumbers, have never grown. This is so that the earth was free of pathogens of various fungal diseases. 4, 5, 29, 31 4, 5, 9, 10, 13 1, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28 6, 7, 15-17 10, 11, 17-21 11, 14, 16, 17 5, 6, 25-29 9-11, 18, 19 13-15, 18 , 19 Parsley for greens - 03/15 - 04/15; Previously, this was enough for seedlings. But recently we additionally buy in the store a large bag of universal soil for vegetables and flowers. We mix this soil and earth in a 1: 1 ratio. Everything. The seedling soil is ready. We give it some time to stand in the house in a warm place and pour it into half-liter plastic cups, which are sold in any store for a ridiculous price. At the bottom of the cups, we make a hole with a thick nail, like in flower pots. Of course, it is better to plant cucumber seeds in peat pots in order to completely eliminate damage to the roots of seedlings when planting in the ground. But they have a higher price. As a completely free option, you can collect enough sour cream cups during the winter.
1-3, 6-8, 11, 12, 30 19, 20, 24, 25, 30 13-15, 18, 19 6, 7, 13-19 8-10, 12 -14 3-5, 8, 24-31 16, 17 12, 13, 16-18 Parsley per root - 20.02 - 20.03; We plant one seed in each cup to a depth of 1- 2 cm. We put it on the windowsill and wait for the seeds to sprout. If you bought normal seeds, then you will have everything.for planting, garlic 17, 18, 21, 22, 28, 29 9-11, 14, 15
13-19 10, 11, 17-21 1, 4, 5, 23-28 12-14, 19, 21 12-14, 19-24 Tomatoes - 05.04 - 15.04; When the seedlings grow, we very carefully remove them from the plastic cups and plant them in the ground under the greenhouse. In this case, the roots of the seedlings are practically not damaged. To make it easier to remove seedlings from the pots, the soil in them must be dry.transplant 4-8, 15, 16, 31 17, 18, 24-28 6, 7, 15 9-11 , 14, 15 6, 7, 13, 17 2, 3, 24, 25, 29, 30 10, 11, 17-21 7, 10, 11, 17-21 Rhubarb - 01.03-20.03 A very important point. It is definitely not worth rushing with the seedlings of cucumbers. Cucumbers grow very quickly. And we don't need overgrown seedlings either. 6-8, 15, 16, 24, 25 1-4, 11-13, 27-29 15-18, 21-25 3-5, 13 , 14, 30, 31 5-7, 15 6-19 2, 3, 21, 22, 25-27, 29, 30 6, 7, 13-17 6, 7, 13-17 Salad - 25.03 - 20.04; 15.08 - 10.09; Consider the example of cucumbers Buyan F1. The period declared by the manufacturer when the first cucumber appears is 40-45 days. But this is theoretically, if the temperature regime permits. If the house is warm enough, then the seeds will hatch in a maximum of a week. And grow seedlings before planting in the ground for 2-3 weeks. Total - 3-4 weeks before disembarkation. 12, 13, 20-22 10, 11, 26-30 celery 4, 5, 9, 10, 13 3-5, 8, 9 , 13, 14, 30, 31 3-15 4, 22-24, 27, 28, 31 10-15 10-14, 18, 19 Beetroot - 15.04 - 30.04; And yet, when to start seedlings? 1, 18-20, 28, 30 6, 22-28 1-3, 21-23, 28-31 6-8, 11, 12 2-5, 9, 10, 13, 14 8-12 1, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27-29 7-11, 14, 15 9-11, 14, 15 Celery - 15.03 - 15.04; In our village, according to the timing of planting in the garden, people are guided by Easter. Early Easter - early spring with return frosts, late Easter - late spring, usually without frost. True, once there were frosts even in summer - June 5. 6, 15, 16 4, 5, 19-23, 31
1, 2, 5, 6, 27-29 rhubarb 6-8, 11, 12 3-9, 30, 31 19, 20, 24, 25, 30 3-7, 15 3-7, 11, 12 Pumpkin - 20.04 - 10.05; So, cucumbers, zucchini are planted with seeds in the ground on Radonitsa, 9 days after Easter. Around this time, you need to plant cucumber seedlings in the ground under the greenhouse. But this is here, in the north of the Kuban. Those. we plant seedlings when people massively begin to sow cucumber seeds in open ground. 3, 4, 12, 13, 31 15-19, 27-29 1-5, 8, 24-31 21- 23 parsley 4-6, 9, 10, 13 17, 18, 21, 22, 28, 29 3, 4, 13, 14, 30, 31 3-5, 8, 9 , 13, 14 Dill - 15.03 - 15.04; 15.08 - 15.09; Here, too, everything is simple. You can purchase a ready-made greenhouse. So it is called - "cucumber". But it's not difficult to do everything with your own hands. It is enough to find a thick wire, cut it into pieces of about 3 meters and bend it in an arc-like manner. 1, 8-10, 27, 28 13-17, 24-26 1, 4, 5, 23-28 13-15, 18, 19 for greens 1-3, 6-8 17, 18, 24-28 4, 5, 9, 10 4, 5, 9, 10-13 Garlic - 15.10 - 25.10; In the place where we stick arcs of wire or thin reinforcement into the ground to a depth of 10-20 cm, the width of the greenhouse should be 1.8-2 m.Then the standard film 3 meters wide for us enough to cover the greenhouse. The length of the greenhouse - as much as you like. But on a greenhouse that is too long, it is difficult to handle the film. We set the arcs at a distance of 0.5-0.8 meters. Stretch a rope (twine) along the top of the arcs for additional support for the film. We buy a film of medium density. Too thin - instantly tears, and the densest - is expensive. If any holes appear in the film, we glue it with ordinary tape. The film, if handled well, should last a minimum of two years. When the film is stretched, sprinkle one side with earth.

Maybe it is more expedient to talk separately about feeding, and then about diseases, pests? By the way, I did just that - articles on feeding cucumbers in a greenhouse or in open ground, as well as on diseases of cucumbers, have already been published. But every year, feeding or fertilizing my cucumbers in the garden, I noticed that fertilizing, fertilizers help not only to get a good harvest. They are very important for controlling diseases and pests of cucumbers. After all, nature itself puts everything in its place: a strong plant can better withstand diseases, pests.

July

As a rule, early cucumbers have time to ripen before outbreaks of massive fungal diseases.

So, ordinary wood ash helps well from these basic diseases. This is both a top dressing, as well as a means of combating the above diseases of cucumbers. Ash can be powdered, sprayed or poured with an ash solution under the root (1 glass of ash per 10 liters of water, leave for a day, drain). You can process or feed plants even during fruiting. This is an absolutely safe remedy. Spraying with a daily ash solution is especially helpful.

After cucumbers, other crops can be grown in this place this season.

Do not forget that cucumbers are thermophilic plants, which means that they need to be sprayed or watered only with warm water, not cold solutions or infusions - their optimum temperature is 25-28 ° C.

Growing in greenhouses is still cheaper compared to the greenhouse method.

Ash will also help control pests. Of course, it will not destroy the pests themselves, but with its help an unfavorable environment will be created for them. They simply cannot live in such conditions. For example, cucumber leaves powdered with ash will become coarser, coarser, and therefore inaccessible to aphids.

If you increase the area of ​​planting cucumbers, then you can have time to sell cucumbers on the market.

Experts agronomists advise, at the first signs of the appearance of a disease of cucumbers with powdery mildew, to increase the percentage of potassium content in dressings. And this can be achieved with the help of ash.

I will suggest one more recipe for combating diseases of cucumbers.For 10 liters of water, take 1 glass of wood ash and 700-800 g of mullein (I take a volume equal to approximately the volume of a half-liter jar). Insist day, strain. This is both feeding and disease prevention. You can spray this infusion, you can pour it at the root - 0.5 liters per plant. Remember to water the cucumbers before feeding. The soil should be moist if you pour the nutrient solution at the root.

That’s all. Sincerely, Alex. I wish you a rich harvest!

6-7 sprays are done per season. I'm talking about the total number of sprays per season for cucumbers. That is 6-7 spraying with different solutions. Alternate between them. Spraying is recommended every 10-12 days.

In this article you can find out the planting dates in 2018 of the popular cucumber vegetable in central Russia, Siberia, the Urals, Krasnodar Territory.

Planting dates for cucumbers by region

To understand when to sow cucumbers for seedlings, you need to know that from the moment of planting seeds before planting seedlings in the greenhouse or garden in the open ground must pass about 25 days, but not more.

Based on these terms, in regions with different climates, the landing dates differ:

1. In the Krasnodar Territory, Volgograd Region and other southern regions already in late February - early March, you can sow cucumber seeds in the greenhouse. In early May, when the soil warms up, they plant the vegetable directly in the open ground in the beds.
2. In the Volga region and central part of Russia (Moscow, Moscow region, etc.) for cultivation in a greenhouse, sowing of cucumber seeds is carried out from February to March. If it is planned to grow vegetables in the open field, then they should be planted for seedlings from late March to mid-April.
3. In the Urals, Siberia and other northern regions planting can be done already in the last week of March if there is a heated greenhouse on the site. For a greenhouse without heating and a manure bed for seedlings, seeds are sown in the last ten days of April. For greenhouses without heating, cucumber seeds are planted at the end of April.

Having decided on the month of planting, it remains only to study the Lunar calendar for sowing cucumbers.

Growing cucumber seedlings at home

Experienced gardeners know that cucumbers have a delicate root system, so it is recommended to plant each seed in an individual container. To do this, you can use:

• peat tablets;
• peat cups;
• special cassettes;
• disposable plastic cups.

Cassettes and plastic cups are washed with a strong solution of potassium permanganate before use.

Seed preparation

Before planting, it is necessary to select and discard empty seeds, for which the planting material is soaked in a 3% solution of sodium chloride. Good seeds will settle to the bottom, and empty ones will float up and need to be thrown out. Suitable seeds are placed for disinfection in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate and kept in it for 30 minutes. After that, the seeds are wrapped in wet gauze or a cloth, and for about 2-3 days they are placed in a warm place up to a temperature of + 25 ... + 30 degrees. During this time, they should hatch. The seeds will be ready for planting when sprouts up to 4 mm long appear on them (longer ones will break!).

Preparing the soil for cucumbers

You can buy soil special for cucumbers or prepare it yourself according to one of the following recipes:

1. Sod land, rotted manure, sand (3: 6: 1).
2. Rotted manure, sawdust, sod land, low-lying peat (1: 1: 4: 4).
3. In equal parts vermiculite, peat, sand, turf and some coconut fiber.

The purchased substrate can be used immediately, and the one prepared by yourself should be disinfected, for which it can be spilled with a strong solution of potassium permanganate, held in a water bath or calcined in the oven. After that, the soil is mixed with fertilizers. For 10 kg of soil you will need:

• magnesium sulfate - 2 g;
• potassium sulfate - 6 g;
• superphosphate - 10 g;
• urea - 6 g.

Now bacteria useful for plants should form and develop in the soil, for which it is placed in a container, covered with a film and placed in a warm place for two weeks.

Remember! There should not be a lot of peat in the substrate for cucumbers, since it is too fat for this vegetable. Also, the soil must be neutral!

How to plant cucumbers correctly?

Prepared containers are filled with moist soil so that about one centimeter remains to their edges. After that, seeds are placed in the ground, digging them to a depth of about one and a half centimeters. Care must be taken not to break the processes. Plantings are sprayed with warm water and covered with foil. Seedling containers must be placed in a place where the air temperature will be from +23 to +28 degrees. Every day, the film must be removed for a few minutes so that the substrate does not begin to mold. As soon as the soil begins to dry out, it is sprayed with a spray bottle.

Cucumber seedling care

After emergence, seedlings are placed in a well-lit place. If the cucumbers were planted during the winter months, the seedlings may need additional lighting for up to 16 hours. In March and April, plantings can be placed on the southern windowsill.

To prevent the seedlings from stretching, the seedlings are grown at an air temperature of + 20 ... + 22 degrees. At night, the temperature should be even lower (+ 18 ... + 20 degrees).

Watering cucumber seedlings

Seedlings are watered with warm water (+22), which must first settle for at least two days. Watering should be carried out only after the top layer of the substrate in the pot has dried. At an average air temperature, the frequency of watering can be once every 5-7 days. If the radiators are working and the apartment is hot, more frequent watering may be needed. You can also spray the seedlings using room temperature water.

Top dressing of cucumber seedlings

When growing seedlings, it should be fed two or three times. The first time fertilization is applied after the appearance of the first true leaf. For this, a solution of mineral fertilizers is prepared. For 10 liters of water you will need:

• superphosphate - 15 g;
• potassium sulfate - 8 g;
• ammonium nitrate - 7 g.

You can add organic matter to the solution. A 1: 7 diluted bird droppings or 1: 4 mullein diluted in water will do.

Two weeks after the first one, a second top dressing is done, for which a double dose of mineral fertilizers is used.

Picking cucumbers

As we wrote above, cucumbers are best grown in separate containers. But if the seeds were planted in one seedling box, then the seedlings will need to be dived. This will need to be done very carefully and in accordance with all the rules, otherwise the seedlings will take root for a long time or may even die completely. It is recommended to dive seedlings at 5-7 days of age. They must still develop cotyledonous leaves.

The procedure for picking cucumber seedlings:

1. Prepare containers with a volume of about 700 ml, fill them with drainage, and fill them with suitable soil.
2. The day before the pick, water the seedlings and moisten the soil for planting seedlings.
3. Make a deep hole in the soil.
4. Using a fork or a special spatula, remove each young plant from the box along with a lump of earth and carefully place it in a hole in a pot.
5. The sprouts are covered with soil so that the knee located under the cotyledonous leaves remains above the surface.
6. The earth is compacted and well shed.

Transplanted seedlings must be kept away from drafts and direct sunlight. It is recommended to grow it at high air humidity with a temperature within +20 degrees.

When to plant cucumbers outdoors?

The dates and dates for planting cucumbers in 2018 were described in the table above. But it should be recalled that it is possible to plant seedlings only when the soil in the beds warms up to +15 degrees and the threat of night frosts has passed.

About two weeks before planting seedlings in open ground, the seedlings should be hardened. To do this, on warm days, they are taken out into the fresh air. On the first day for an hour, and then the hardening time increases every day. By the day of planting in the garden, the seedlings should be in the fresh air for 24 hours.

Where to plant cucumbers? They cannot be planted after zucchini, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, beets. After nightshade and other crops, cucumbers can be planted.

For cucumbers, prepare a bed with fertile and loose soil, which should be fertilized in the fall. If it was not possible to prepare the site in advance, then you will have to put manure in each hole during planting. Pits for cucumbers are prepared so that four plants fit in one square meter.

Transplanting of cucumber seedlings is done by the transshipment method. That is, the plant is carefully taken out of the pot along with a lump of earth, placed in a hole, covered with soil and watered abundantly. Around the plantings, it is recommended to cover the soil with straw, which will protect the soil from drying out and will restrain the growth of weeds.

Diseases and treatment of cucumber seedlings

Cucumber seedlings are stretched out - what to do?

There can be two reasons for this problem:

• high room temperature;
• lack of lighting.

If the seedlings begin to stretch, place them in a cooler place with a temperature within +20 degrees and provide good lighting.A glazed loggia is suitable for growing cucumber seedlings. After eliminating the causes, you will see how after a while the seedlings will stop stretching and become stronger.

Cucumber seedlings turn yellow

Why are the seedlings turning yellow? Main reasons:

• cotyledonous leaves turn yellow from lack of lighting;
• seedlings can turn yellow if they are not fed on time;
• overgrown plants are cramped in small pots and lack food.

Such reasons are easy to eliminate and correct the situation.

The cucumber seedlings are rotting

Root rot on young plants often appears due to frequent waterlogging of the substrate, watering seedlings with cold water or growing them on a cold surface. As a result, fungal diseases "black leg" or "root rot" develop in the soil.

A sign of a "black leg" is stem rotting at the base. Diseased plants must be pulled out, and healthy plants must be transplanted into new soil, placed in disinfected new pots. It is recommended to mix the soil with ash before sowing.

If the seedlings suddenly stopped growing, began to wither and die, then these may be signs of root rot. In this case, it is too late to do anything, but you can try to treat the plants with special fungicidal preparations.

Observing the planting dates according to the 2018 Lunar Calendar and all the rules for caring for seedlings, you can grow strong and healthy cucumber seedlings, which will begin to give a bountiful harvest in the summer.
