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 cover films and in open ground. 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.

What varieties of cucumbers do you grow? Which ones are the most productive? And the most delicious, without bitterness? What varieties of cucumbers would you recommend for the Moscow region, Siberia, the northwest?
Your feedback on the varieties of cucumbers will help many gardeners choose the best varieties and hybrids for planting. Attach a photo if possible.
It would seem that such a thing as growing cucumbers is not a big deal. According to knowledgeable people, this is actually the case. True, if you arm yourself with certain knowledge. For example, how to choose the right type of vegetable. You can understand all the cucumber variety by answering three questions.
How to choose the right variety?
- Where will the vegetable be grown? As a rule, "green ones" grow in a greenhouse, greenhouse or open field. It is not uncommon to grow them on the windowsill.
- When would you like to get the harvest? You can eat young cucumbers already at the beginning of June. The most patient are ready to wait until July or August.
- How long would you like to get a harvest of cucumbers?
According to this principle, the "green ones" are conventionally subdivided into early, middle and late... It is worth remembering that early plant varieties are more likely to get sick. In addition, in comparison with the late ones, they have a shorter fruiting period. If the variety of cucumbers is chosen correctly, they are not afraid of powdery mildew - false or real, nor bacteriosis. The main thing is to pay attention to the increased resistance of plants to these misfortunes.
It is worth deciding what vegetables are for. After all, someone prefers to salt them, and someone is not averse to crunching fresh. And then lettuce, pickling and universal varieties are distinguished. Naturally, each of them has certain advantages.

What else is important to know?
Among the hybrid varieties of cucumbers, there are bee-pollinated and parthenocarpic, that is, capable of forming ovaries and bearing fruit without pollination. When choosing the first, it is important that bees are found on the site.
The presence of male and female flowers will help to avoid barren flowers. Usually the first have a three-sided, and the second - a four-sided shape. You can determine the sex of a plant by the first fruit. To do this, you need to cut it across, and see how the seeds are located. In the male cucumber, they are in three segments, in the female cucumber, in four.
When determining those varieties of cucumbers that are more suitable for growing in the open field for you, you should remember about zoned seeds, tested by more than one generation of gardeners.
The success of the cucumber crop depends in particular on the choice of seed. The wide assortment on the shelves confuses thoughts rather than allows you to make the right decision.Novice gardeners are advised to first familiarize themselves with the varieties, their names, the characteristics of cultivation and care.
Depending on climatic conditions, different varieties can be planted in Ukraine, Belarus, Chernozem, Bashkiria and the middle lane - these can be parthenocarpic, early ripening, with a long ripening period, or delicious cucumbers for growing in a greenhouse. More information is structured in the article in the form of a kind of list-rating.
Varietal variety of cucumbers
A large number of varieties allows you to choose the best options that have disease and weather resistance the region where the green plant is planned to be grown.
A common mistake is the use of certain 2-3 varieties, the cultivation of which has been practiced for several decades.
Domestic and foreign breeders have developed many hybrids that have no less affordable agricultural technology and excellent taste than the once loved cucumbers.
Among the top tips for growing vegetables, experts point to the need to plant several varieties at once... This makes it possible to evaluate the yield of different species under the same ripening conditions, to get at least some yield during drought or prolonged rains.
Collect the necessary and useful information about the varietal variety, the characteristics of the characteristics of zelents can be found below.
The most popular varieties with names
For the convenience of perception and application of the text in practice, plants are divided into separate groups, united by a common feature.
