After two weeks, the fruits reach technical ripeness and can be plucked.
Disease and pest resistance
The cucumber variety is the envy of everyone and has a high immunity to most typical diseases of this crop. Bushes are rarely affected by powdery mildew, root rot, cucumber mosaic, spotting. To maintain the health of plants, preventive measures are necessary:
- Compliance with the timing of planting and crop rotation.
- Use for irrigation of warm settled water.
- Maintenance of optimal indicators of temperature and humidity.
- Treatment of plants with biological preparations with fungicidal and bactericidal effect.
Among the most dangerous insects for cucumbers, everyone is the envy of insects – aphids, whiteflies, ants, bears, slugs. To combat them, an integrated approach is used – in addition to biological products, folk remedies, plants with a frightening aroma, and traps are used.

Until spring, cover with polyethylene. In March, they remove and pour a layer of soil. They make a shelter again and leave it for ten days so that the soil warms up. As soon as the soil temperature reaches +15 ⁰С, start sowing. Holes are made at a distance of 50 cm from each other and 30 cm between rows. Each one is poured with warm water and three seeds of cucumbers are put in. Everyone is envious. They fall asleep with a layer of soil 2-3 cm thick. Next, a shelter is installed from arcs, non-woven material or plastic film. When seedlings appear, thinning is carried out – one plant is left in the hole, removing the weakest or damaged ones.
After four true leaves are formed, pinch the top to speed up fruiting.
After the emergence of seedlings, the shelter is periodically opened for ventilation.
Seedbed method
Sowing cucumbers For everyone to envy for seedlings, they spend from the third decade of March to mid-April. To prepare the seeds, they are heated by dipping them in water for two hours, the temperature of which is 45-50 ⁰С. You can sort out empty and underdeveloped ones by immersing them in a saline solution. Only those that have sunk to the bottom are taken. They are washed, disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate (3%), garlic infusion or aloe juice. You can strengthen the immunity of future plants by soaking the seeds in a growth stimulator – Epin, Gummi.
Peat pots, plastic containers or glasses are filled with soil mixture containing garden soil, humus, sand, peat, taken in equal parts. The soil is heated, watered and laid out in each of the containers one seed, planting to a depth of 2 cm. Before the first shoots appear, the containers are covered and placed in a warm place (+25 ⁰С). When sprouts appear, they are transferred to a well-lit room with a temperature of +18 ⁰С.
Cucumbers are the envy of everyone ready for planting at the age of 27-35 days

Drip irrigation is most preferable, the best time is morning or evening. Before the appearance of buds, 1 liter of water is consumed in three days for one plant. After the beginning of fruit formation, watering is carried out once every three days, spending 7 liters each.
In the second half of fruiting, moisturizing cucumbers is cut in half for everyone to envy
Loosening and mulching
The soil must be loosened at least once every ten days. When planting seeds, the operation is carried out only after germination, so as not to disturb the root system. Simultaneously with loosening, weeds are removed, the soil is mulched with sawdust and grass.
Pinching, tying
Cucumber varieties Envy everyone does not require pinching. Lateral shoots are pruned only for the purpose of obtaining an additional crop. When growing vertically, plants are given a reliable support and periodically tied up, preventing contact of the shoots with the soil.
Additional fertilizing
For the first time, cucumbers are fed to everyone with envy two weeks after germination. Make a solution of infusion of chicken manure (1:15). The second time (at the time of flowering) fertilize with superphosphate (35 g per 10 liters of water). Then they are fed three times during fruiting, using urea (15 g per 10 liters of water).
Conclusion
Cucumbers are the envy of everyone, they are stress-resistant and can grow even with a lack of lighting. There are few other varieties that have similar properties. For this reason, the popularity of the hybrid among gardeners is growing, especially since this is not its only advantage.
