Therefore, if you want to harvest cucumbers, learn about suitable varieties and features of the "Ural" nature of growing this vegetable.

Growing in greenhouses: which varieties are best suited for the Urals

The climate of the Urals is far from ideal for thermophilic cucumbers, but among the rich variety of varieties, you can choose suitable ones. Given the short duration of the warm summer, it makes sense to plant early and mid-season hybrids.

To provide ourselves with a crop for sure, we will choose at least 4–5 hybrids. By mixing various varieties in plantings, we increase the yield, as we increase the cross-pollination of cucumbers.

Cucumbers Nizhinsky are very popular among vegetable growers in the Urals... This variety is good for both salads and pickles, and it bears fruit until autumn. Breeders offer the following hybrids for growing in greenhouses.

Outdoor cultivation

Gardeners of the Urals are offered a large selection of zoned early and mid-season hybrids and varieties of cucumbers. They are specially bred for short summer conditions, therefore they are able to withstand heat, prolonged rains, cold weather and at the same time bear fruit well. The varieties and hybrids offered below are distinguished by a short ripening period: one and a half months from germination to first fruits.

Table: varieties and hybrids for outdoor cultivation

These varieties and hybrids are bee-pollinated, with a predominantly female flowering type. They are characterized by a combination of unpretentiousness, productivity and reliability.

What is the difference between a variety and a hybrid? Hybrids are more productive, but do not form full-fledged seeds. Hybrids are indicated by the F1 symbol on the packaging.

How to properly plant cucumbers in a greenhouse

Cucumber is a thermophilic plant, and in our area the period favorable for cucumber is very limited: from the second decade of June to the second decade of August. However, there is no guarantee that the summer will be warm. Therefore, in order to provide themselves with a harvest, it is preferable to cultivate cucumbers in a greenhouse.

The disembarkation process consists of several mandatory steps:

1. greenhouse preparation;
2. soil preparation;
3. preparation of planting material.

Greenhouse preparation

Experienced gardeners recommend a polycarbonate greenhouse. It has several advantages:

• It is more durable than other types of greenhouses.
• In a polycarbonate greenhouse, it is easier to create an optimal microclimate for plants: there are no cracks, and therefore, there are no drafts, there are no problems with ventilation, the leaves do not get sunburn.
• Polycarbonate can be left in the winter.

Greenhouse work begins in the second half of April. For the prevention of diseases, we disinfect the greenhouse completely (we process the frame and walls with a solution of bleach) and replace the soil: remove the top layer of earth 10 cm thick and put it in the sun.

Garden bed preparation

Cooking new ground for cucumbers.

• Option one: we add compost or manure up to 10-15 kg per square meter.
• Option two: 6 parts of peat, 2 parts of humus and 2 parts of woody soil.

We form the beds and add a glass of wood ash to each. In the beds prepared in this way, we can plant both seedlings and seeds at the right time.

Warm up the soil for cucumbers. For this purpose, we put metal arcs of a meter height on the beds and cover them with agrofibre with a film for several days. Remember that cucumbers are planted at an air temperature of + 20 ° C, and the soil temperature is also needed at least + 20 ° C. For a more accelerated heating, you can water the beds with warm water and an EM solution.

EM are effective microorganisms. The introduction of the EM solution into the soil contributes to its earlier revitalization and enrichment.

Seedling preparation

We planted the seeds in cups 3 weeks ago, and now we are gradually accustoming the seedlings to fresh air and sunlight. On the first day, we take out the seedlings in the greenhouse for 2-3 hours. Every day we increase the time the seedlings stay in the greenhouse by 1–2 hours. The seedlings prepared in this way will suffer less from the difference between night and day temperatures.

Disembarkation

When the earth warms up to the desired temperature, we proceed to planting seedlings. By this time, our cucumbers have 3-5 true leaves. In order not to thicken the planting and use the area rationally, we plant cucumbers according to the following scheme:

In the greenhouse, the distance between rows is 160 cm and 35 cm between plants in a row

Disembarkation instructions:

1. We move the film away from the garden.
2. We make a cup-sized depression in the ground.
3. Put a pinch of Kemira on the bottom of the hole.
4. Water the seedlings with warm water and carefully remove them from the glass, trying not to damage the trunk and roots.
5. We lower the seedlings into the groove, carefully compact the earth. The seedlings must grow vertically.
6. We water everything with warm water at the rate of 4 liters per 1 sq. m. Then do not water for a week.

Cover the beds with foil at night. We ventilate the greenhouse daily, avoiding drafts. After two weeks, we feed it with a liquid mullein (1 liter of solution per 20 liters of warm water).

How to properly plant cucumbers outdoors

The optimum air temperature for a cucumber is +20 + 24 ° C during the day and +16 + 18 ° C at night. At + 12 ° C and below, the roots cease to function, cucumbers lose their ovaries. If the temperature drops to + 5 ° C, the cucumbers simply die. Thus, the primary task is to provide cucumbers with protection from the cold. In practice, this can be done using one of the following methods:

• fit under the film;
• landing in a warm bed;
• landing in a barrel.

Film landing

It is possible to plant under the film already from the second half of May. First of all, we choose a place for future beds. Cucumbers require a well-lit place, sheltered from the wind, away from groundwater. We remember the crop rotation: we have not planted cucumbers in one place for two years in a row. There is no need to plant cucumbers where last year you grew melons, squash, squash. Onions, tomatoes, or potatoes are considered good precursors for cucumbers.

For a cucumber, loose earth is needed, with neutral acidity. We prepare a place for sowing: we loosen the ground and use a rake to form a bed 70 cm wide. Then we install metal arcs and stretch a film on them. Thus, we warm up our beds for several days. When the ground warms up, we plant cucumbers. The technology is simple:

1. With a rake along the edges of the garden, we draw two neat grooves with a depth of 4 cm.
2. Pour warm water from a watering can.
3. In these grooves we spread the seeds 10 cm apart and cover them with earth.
4. Water the bed abundantly with warm water and cover the crops.

For reliability, we make a two-layer shelter: closer to the plants - a covering material, a film on top. We are waiting for seedlings. We do not open the garden until they appear. When the cucumbers hatch, we do thinning: we remove the excess seedlings, leaving 20–25 cm between healthy plants. In the daytime we remove the film, cover the cucumbers with a film and covering material at night. In the heat, we protect young shoots from the hot sun. In case of cold weather during the day, we remove the film for a while so that the crops do not suffocate, we leave them under the covering material. It provides a temperature 3-4 degrees higher than outside.

Without a film, cucumbers can be planted in open ground not earlier than the second decade of June, when warm weather sets in and the threat of night frosts passes.

Growing cucumbers in a warm garden

A warm bed is the most convenient way to grow cucumbers in our conditions. It's cheap, environmentally friendly, and practical. There are many options for preparing a warm bed, but the principle is the same: below is biofuel, about 20 cm, and above is the same layer of earth. The technology for making a warm bed is simple. At the beginning of May, we pour manure according to the size of our future bed, on the sides we make bumpers from boards and fill the resulting box with earth. We cover it with foil and let our bed warm up for two weeks. When manure "burns," it gives off heat and carbon dioxide, which is good for cucumbers.

Be careful not to burn the roots of the cucumber. The layer of earth must be at least 20 cm.

Such a bed “burns” for about a month, then its temperature gradually decreases. The beauty of a warm bed is that any organic material can be used as fuel: manure, grass, sawdust, hay. This is done simply:

1. We outline the dimensions of the future bed and remove the top layer of the earth (about 20 cm).
2. We put thin branches into the resulting depression for drainage and fill in everything that will rot.
3. We tamp it tightly. It turns out a "pillow" 20 cm thick.
4. To get rid of pests, pour a hot solution of potassium permanganate.
5. We cover the "pillow" with a layer of removed earth. To fertilize the soil, add compost and humus. For acidic soil, we use chalk, dolomite flour with lime or wood ash.
6. We cover with foil and wait two weeks.

It is convenient to make warm beds in such wooden boxes.

At the end of May or even from the second half of May, you can plant seedlings or sow seeds in such a warm bed. The bed provides enough heat to keep crops from frost in May. After germination, we open our garden in the morning, close it in the evening.We act this way as long as the danger of frost persists. Then we remove the film until August. This month we reduce the watering, and we insulate the cucumber beds with a film for the night. After a short cold snap, the heat can return, and then the cucumbers will continue to grow and bear fruit. You can pick cucumbers under the foil all August.

Growing cucumbers in a barrel

One of the options for arranging a warm bed is growing in a barrel. A layer of drainage from branches is placed in a 200-liter old barrel without a bottom and organic garbage is piled: cleaning, food waste, tops, grass from the site, filling the barrel by a third. Manure and fertile soil are poured on top. They leave 15–20 cm to the edge. Then they act according to the already familiar scenario: they cover it with agrofibre and film, warm the ground, water it, plant seeds and wait for the harvest. 4-6 seeds are planted in one barrel.

Useful Tips

To get a harvest, one should take into account the key characteristics of this vegetable and not lose sight of the peculiarities of the weather in our region, namely: unpredictability, the possibility of frosts until mid-June, periods of prolonged cold snap in the middle of summer. Therefore:

• We choose early ripe zoned hybrids, which are characterized by resistance to various unfavorable weather conditions.
• To get early cucumbers, we plant them not with seeds, but with seedlings.
• Protecting cucumber beds from possible frost.
• We provide cucumbers with a temperature not lower than + 18 ° C.

Otherwise, the methods of cultivating cucumbers in the Urals do not differ from the basic rules for caring for this popular vegetable.
