The best varieties of early cucumbers

Cucumbers

undoubtedly not only one of the most popular but also one of the earliest cultures. You can get the first harvest of fragrant cucumbers as early as 37-45 days after

sowing

... Soon after the emergence of seedlings, young plants enter the phase of active flowering, after which very little time passes (about 12-14 days), and instead of flowers, the first green plants begin to form. How to navigate the abundance of different cucumber varieties and really pick the earliest ones?

How to choose the right varieties of cucumbers and what you should pay attention to, we discussed in the article

Choosing varieties of cucumbers

... And we also talked about

15 best cucumber varieties for the middle lane

and about

unusual cucumbers and their exotic relatives

... And before we find out which varieties of cucumbers are the earliest, let's repeat an unbreakable and very important rule: whichever varieties you prefer - early, middle or late ripening - choose

only those that are suitable for growing in your area , which means that they are maximally adapted to the climatic conditions of the region. Only in this case (of course, with proper care) you will get the maximum yield of cucumbers that are not afraid

diseases

cucumber April F1

Using my many years of experience in growing cucumbers in a greenhouse and open field, as well as having studied the reviews of other gardeners on the forums and numerous neighbors in the garden, I can confidently advise you to plant the best varieties and hybrids of cucumbers. They are suitable for growing both in greenhouses and under temporary film shelters and in the open field. Each gardener chooses what suits him best.

Of course, for a greenhouse, it is better to take hybrid varieties of F1 cucumbers, since they have short side lashes and do not need to be pinched. Hybrids tend to have high yields and disease resistance.

If you choose varieties of cucumbers for the Urals and Siberia, then consider varieties and hybrids that bear fruit well in low light conditions and are cold-resistant.

If you plant cucumbers in a greenhouse or greenhouse that require pollination by bees, do not forget that from the beginning of flowering, bees should have free access to flowers.

Your feedback on the varieties of cucumbers will help many gardeners choose the best varieties and hybrids for planting. Attach a photo if possible.

Cucumber is a thermophilic plant, and no matter how strong your desire to get fruits as early as possible, you have to put up with the fact that you cannot get a good harvest without adhering to certain planting dates. The only thing that can help you in this case is the use of seeds that allow you to get early maturing cucumbers.

Early harvest methods

There are two ways to get early cucumbers:

• preliminary planting of seedlings;
• sowing in greenhouses earlier than usual.

The first option is practiced, as a rule, by experienced summer residents, who enjoy such events, since caring for any seedlings, including cucumber, requires discipline and attentiveness on the part of the owner. In addition, you must have enough space to be able to set up the seedling boxes in close proximity to natural light sources.

But even if all these conditions are met, cucumbers grown in this way very rarely meet the stated expectations. The fact is that plants, for a long time being in conditions different from real ones, after planting in greenhouses or on open beds, are unable to withstand the influence of various natural factors. Some shoots, for example, can be burned by the sun's rays and simply burn out, others will be unprepared for the natural temperature of the soil, and even if the soil is properly prepared for them, the shoots will not cope with low temperatures.

In practice, you can find only a few dozen varieties of cucumbers for each region, which would be adapted for growing through seedlings. But even they shouldn't be counted on.

A second, more efficient way for early ripening of cucumbers is to plant seeds directly in the greenhouse.

Using greenhouses

Due to the fact that cucumber seedlings immediately fall into real living conditions, they do not need to get used to the sun's rays again, the shoots are very strong and strong. However, this option has its own subtleties.

For early ripening of cucumbers, sowing should be carried out in a timely manner - in the second half of April.

At this time, in many regions, the soil, at best, only has time to thaw, naturally, it makes no sense to plant seeds of early varieties of cucumbers in cold soil. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance both the greenhouse and the seed.

Increasing cold resistance of plants

It is possible to make the shoot more resistant to cold weather, which is the main reason for failed early harvests, even at the stage of preliminary preparation of the seed. For this, a hardening procedure is used. Its essence boils down to the fact that seeds that have not yet sprouted are wrapped in a damp cloth and placed in conditions with an ambient air temperature of about 0С (the best option for this would be a refrigerator). After 48 hours, the seeds are taken out and sown immediately.

When hardening cucumber seeds, you must carefully follow the instructions. If you put them in the refrigerator after they hatch, you will lose seeds; if the temperature is below 0С, the result is the same.

Another effective way to protect early ripening cucumbers is the formation of steam (warm) ridges in the garden. Thanks to a specially prepared surface for planting, the root system of the seedlings will always be warm, this is due to the decomposition of the biological mass involved in creating the beds.Since the root system of a cucumber plant is the most sensitive part of it, by protecting the roots from the cold, most likely it will be possible to preserve all the seedlings.

Greenhouse preliminary preparation

Ultra-early varieties of cucumbers require early preparation of greenhouses. It is recommended to start the process in the fall. First of all, it is necessary to rid the space of the old soil completely. This must be done without fail if the outgoing season has not been without fungal or bacterial infections attached to the crops planted here. And it doesn't matter what kind of culture they were. If they hurt, then the soil should be completely replaced. In the event that the sores have passed your garden, you can do with removing only the top layer of soil. It is possible, but still undesirable.

The vacated spaces must be filled with organic residues. These can be: leaves of trees and shrubs, tops, straw, turf grass, etc.

Since it is straw that produces the greatest amount of heat during decomposition, it is desirable that more than half of the total volume of organic matter.

In early spring, the surface prepared in this way is covered with a 15-20 cm layer of snow, which, a couple of weeks after application, is covered with a black film in two layers. When sunny days come, the soil under the film will actively warm up, the snow will begin to melt and saturate the soil with moisture.

After a week or two, when the thawing process is completed, organic fertilizers, or rather manure, must be introduced into the greenhouse. The manure is mixed with sawdust and organic matter, as well as with a layer of new soil and the remains of the old. After the completion of the process, all this is covered with a film for another week until it warms up completely.

How to choose the right variety

All varieties of cucumber seeds on the market can be grouped according to three main characteristics: by the rate of fruit ripening, by the method of pollination and by the method of cultivation.

By the time required for ripening:

• ultra early ripening varieties with a growing season of up to 40 days;
• early cucumbers with a ripening period of up to 45 days;
• mid-ripening varieties, the first fruits of which can be obtained in 45-50 days;
• late cucumbers with a vegetative period exceeding 50 days.

By pollination method:

• bee-pollinated;
• self-pollinated;
• parthenocarpic.

With the first option, everything seems to be clear. Such varieties of cucumbers require the presence of bees participating in the fertilization procedure, and therefore it is better to use them in greenhouses or in open beds, where bees fly regularly.

Parthenocarpic and self-pollinated cucumbers do not need bees. They differ from each other in that the former form ovaries without the presence of the very fact of pollination, while the latter contain both a stamen and a pistil in each flower, which allows them to pollinate themselves on their own.

By cultivation method:

• for planting in greenhouses and in open spaces;
• for sowing in greenhouses.

This classification is very arbitrary, since there are enough varieties from which you can equally successfully get crops both on the street and in closed spaces.

For open ground

So, the following are the best early varieties of cucumbers for open ground:

1. "Goosebump". Parthenocarpic variety, the name of which very well describes the appearance of the fruit - large bumps on the surface resemble numerous goosebumps. The fruits themselves are short, regular cylindrical in shape, have a very pleasant smell. Cucumbers appear in 43-45 days, each plant can be harvested up to 8 kg of fruit per season.
   
2. Bathory. Refers to productive parthenocarpic hybrids, allowing to get more than 10 kg of fruits from each plant. Ideal for growing cucumbers, which will require processing in the future - salting, preservation, etc. Refers to medium-sized variants with a bundle type of ovary formation. The fruits themselves are small, up to 10 cm long, tasty and sweet.
   
3. "Aquarius". A bee-pollinated variety that allows for early harvests. Cucumbers are larger than those of most varieties (up to 14 cm in length), oval, elongated, without a tendency to yellowness. It stands out from the total mass by a long fruiting period - subject to the rules of planting and care, it completes the period of ovary formation 2-2.5 weeks later than other early soil varieties. The yield of "Aquarius", however, is not too happy - only 2.5-3 kg of cucumbers per bush per season.
   
4. "Diva". Delicious bee-pollinated hybrid, the fruits of which are ideal for use in fresh salads. It belongs to the varieties of cucumber plants that ripen early and at the same time give a decent level of yield (up to 10 kg per square meter), cucumbers 15-20 cm long are distinguished by a smooth surface, while they have an excellent aroma and a sweetish aftertaste.
   

   “I have been growing cucumbers for a long time, and I fell in love with the Diva variety for various reasons. Firstly, it gives very decent yields, and consistently, every year. Secondly, cucumbers of this variety are among the first to hit the table. And, finally, their taste is simply excellent. With each new season, I plant more and more bushes of this variety. I recommend everyone to try it. "
   Marina, 64 years old, Volgograd.

5. "Parade". Another variety of early open field cucumbers. The type of ovary formation is single, but high yield does not suffer from this. The type of flowering is mixed, the path of pollination is bees. Refers to ultra-early options with a ripening period of 35 days. Fruits with characteristic tuberosity, medium in size, especially good if eaten fresh. If conservation is planned, then greens collected at a young age, when they are still small, are suitable for this.
   

In a separate group, I would like to collect varieties of early cucumbers for open ground, characterized by a high rate of generation of the first fruits:

1. "Baby". Ultra-early bee-pollinated variety. It is quite possible to get the first fruits in 35 days. Amazing palatability and versatility allow this variety to look equally good both fresh and raw. Cucumbers are small (up to 10 cm in length), with large tubercles, they are perfectly stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, without turning yellow and without losing their taste characteristics.
   
2. Ajax F1. Excellent early cucumbers for open ground with a bundle type of ovary formation. Zelentsy are beautiful, 11-12 cm long, perfect for picking pickles. A high-yielding hybrid capable of producing up to 10 kg per sq. meter subject to growing conditions and care rules. The variety is heat-resistant, immune to many cucumber diseases, and bears fruit abundantly throughout the season.
   
3. "Herman F1". What are the most popular cucumbers in our country? Perhaps these are the ones. German possesses unique characteristics that contribute to obtaining high yields in the early stages. The hybrid is parthenocarpic, each bunch can form up to 9-10 ovaries. From one square. m, it is almost guaranteed to remove 9-10 kg of fruits, and if the growing conditions are favorable, then much more. The cucumbers themselves are beautiful, of the same size, tasty, without bitterness, even with inadequate watering.
   

The following names of varieties, as well as hybrids that are perfectly grown in open areas, can be attributed to the category of super early ripening:

• Levina F1;
• "Masha F1";
• Orpheus F1;
• "Son";
• "Khutorok";
• "April F1".

For greenhouse

Greenhouse conditions differ significantly from open spaces and require the culture to have special specific properties. One of the features of greenhouse cucumber varieties is the possibility of pollination without bees.

There is no place for bee-pollinated varieties in greenhouses, save them for open areas.

However, parthenocarpic hybrids should be diluted with pollinated varieties, since otherwise, with multiple flowers, ovaries will not be formed enough.

Let's go over the best varieties and hybrids of cucumbers for greenhouses:

1. "Goosebump F1". Parthenocarpic hybrid produced by Gavrish. Refers to early ripening early cucumbers for greenhouses, although it can be successfully grown in open areas. The first fruits ripen on 42-45 days, the size of the fruits is 8-12 cm, with a black thorn, large-knobby surface. Possesses increased resistance to powdery mildew.
   
2. "Boy with a finger F1". This hybrid was bred by the Manul company, in 2000 it was added to the state register of plants of the Russian Federation and is recommended for use throughout the country. The time required for ripening is 35-40 days from the date the first shoots appear. The name of the variety is extremely indicative - the cucumbers will be small, up to 11 cm in length and up to 60 g in weight, with white thornless thorns and abundant edging. It is not recommended to leave the fruits on the branches for longer than the prescribed period, as they are prone to overgrowing.
   

   “I heard about this variety for a long time and now, finally, I decided to plant it on my site. What can I say? I didn’t regret it. I get fruits early, in sufficient quantities, caring for the bushes is the most common, I did not catch any diseases this season. The only nuance that I didn't really like is that you can't miss the moment of harvesting. I forgot to collect, left, and that's it - the cucumbers were gone. No, they didn’t rot, but they became big and tasteless. And the rest, if you do not allow such oversights, is a very good option. I recommend".
   Mikhail, 52 years old, Moscow region.

3. "Benefit F1". Cucumbers ripen in 5 weeks. The hybrid does not require bees, forms fruits weighing up to 120 g, which are not bitter and have excellent taste. Perfect greenhouse cucumbers that will allow you not to worry about possible diseases, as they are completely tolerant of the most common options.
   
4. "Alekseich F1". Another early cucumber variety that is great for greenhouse cultivation. The fruits ripen quickly and can be used for a wide variety of purposes. The hybrid is tolerant of powdery mildew and a number of other diseases, for these and many other reasons it has acquired a large number of fans.
   
5. Glafira and Emerald. Two more species not interested in bee pollination. Perfect for areas with a shortage of sunny and hot days, especially in this regard, the Glafira variety is good. "Emerald" is distinguished by increased productivity, this is a nuance that must be taken into account, these cucumbers do not tolerate too frequent plantings, that is, it is necessary to avoid thickening of the beds in every possible way. Otherwise, varieties that are very undemanding to care for - regular watering and periodic feeding will be quite enough to get the necessary yields.
   

These and many other earliest varieties you can use in order to get a great harvest of cucumbers in the greenhouse or outdoors. Regardless of the region in which you live, there is always a way to grow this wonderful vegetable, the main thing is to show the necessary degree of discipline in observing the rules of care. In addition, the correct choice of varieties is also an important aspect. Not every culture is universal, there are varieties that can yield crops only in certain climatic conditions, which are difficult, and sometimes impossible to recreate artificially. There is no point in chasing cucumber varieties that require incredible efforts in the growing process. It is much more correct to choose the ones that will bring you pleasure from the care measures and will fully delight you with the results.
