Direct planting in open ground

Work is carried out in late May or early June. It is necessary that the soil warms up to +16 ⁰C and the threat of return frosts has passed. The wells are deepened by 2 cm, 3 seeds are placed. After germination, when the cucumber grows up to 4 cm tall, the seedlings are thinned out, leaving one strong sprout. Interval between holes 45 cm. Per 1 m² place 4 cucumbers. The scheme of planting in the greenhouse is the same as in open ground, sowing is carried out in mid-May. If the structure is heated, the seeds are planted in early May.

Seeds are sown in March in separate peat containers; picking is not required for the culture. Peat containers are planted immediately in the ground, because the cucumber does not tolerate transshipment. Work algorithm:

1. Fertile soil is poured into the container.
2. Deepen the seeds by 1 cm, fall asleep, water.
3. Put in a room with an air temperature not lower than +22 ⁰C.
4. Provides 16 hours of light.

After 1 month, the plant is placed in a permanent place.

In an open garden, the watering regime depends on precipitation; in a dry summer, two waterings per week will be enough. Activities are carried out in the evening, preventing water from getting on the stems and leaves, so as not to cause burns during the day. In the greenhouse, moisten the soil with a drip method, the top layer should be slightly moist.

To get a high yield of cucumbers “All in a bunch” you need top dressing:

1. The first – after the formation of four sheets with a nitrogen-containing agent (urea).
2. The second – after 3 weeks with potassium, superphosphate, phosphorus.
3. With an interval of 2 weeks, organics are added.
4. Another top dressing, necessary for better fruit set, is carried out with a nitrogen-containing agent during fruiting.
5. Before the ripening of the last fruits, mineral fertilizers are applied.

Formation

The variety of cucumbers “All in a bunch” is formed by one central stem. Side shoots are removed. If you leave two stems:

• yield will not increase.
• the plant will be overloaded;
• the fruits will not receive the necessary nutrition, they will be formed with a smaller mass and size:
• there is a risk of falling off the ovaries.

The plant is grown near the support, as it grows, the trunk is tied to the trellis. Only those leaves are left on the stem, in the internode of which bunches of fruits are formed, the rest are cut off.

For prevention, the plant is treated at the beginning of the growing season with copper sulphate, ventilation is monitored, watering is reduced, and treated with colloidal sulfur. There are no parasitic insects on cucumbers in the greenhouse. In unprotected territory, the whitefly moth poses a threat, the caterpillars are eliminated with the Commander tool.

Productivity

Cucumber “All in a bunch” – an early variety, harvesting is carried out from mid-July to the second half of August. Beam-shaped fruiting is the guarantor of a high yield. Cucumber fruiting is stable, regardless of where the variety grows: in a greenhouse or on a garden bed in open ground. Return from a bush to 7 kg.

 For example, the first batch at the beginning of May, the second at the end.
