Cucumber planting seeds in a greenhouse: the best Dutch greenhouses, what is the most cultivation, video and how to grow

Cucumbers are one of our most favorite vegetables Cucumber is not only 95% of water, but also a large amount of vitamins, microelements and biologically active substances useful to the body, useful for everyone. In order to have a harvest of fresh and delicious cucumbers all year round, even if the gardener lives in the cold regions of Siberia, you should choose to grow cucumbers in your own greenhouse. It will be less expensive to grow a cucumber on its own than to buy it in a lean season by sky-high price in stores or on vegetable markets of a settlement. Also it must be recognized that the taste and quality of these vegetables leaves much to be desired, but often such vegetables are tasteless, compared to home-made cucumbers. It is not exactly necessary to doubt as self-grown cucumbers.

Parameters for selecting the best cucumber seeds for the greenhouse

The parameters for selecting cucumbers for the greenhouse are different. By nature, the most suitable sorts of cucumbers for growing in a greenhouse are hybrid species. They are considered the most productive. At the same time, they are unpretentious with them, not necessarily engage in such types of manipulation, as pruning and pinching. It is also possible to choose seeds for specific climatic conditions.

Any process of growing a variety of cucumbers begins with the selection of seeds

When selecting the type of cucumber, it is worth paying attention also to the maturation period.

This can be done based on how the cucumbers will later be used. In the event that they are grown for the purpose of subsequent conservation, the best choice will be late-maturing species. These greenhouse cucumbers are good for pickling.

The following types are suitable for conservation:

• Vineyard;
• The stash and the like;
• Dutch varieties of Dolomite and Bettina have proved themselves well.

Also an important parameter, when choosing a variety of cucumbers, is their pollinating ability. In the event that the plant grows under hothouse conditions, preference is usually given to a self-pollinated species, that is, to a plant that can form ovaries, regardless of external pollination. If, in the same greenhouse, cucumbers of this species are grown together with insect-polluted ones, it should be taken into account that self-pollinated varieties do not like pollination from outside, and their fruits can be deformed because of this.

What are the best Dutch cucumber seeds for greenhouses

Holland is famous for its seeds for a variety of reasons. Plants are resistant to most diseases. They are pre-processed and prepared for planting in the ground and do not require additional manipulation. Usually, the ovaries of these species are formed immediately with whole bunches - from each node appears from 5 to 10 fruits.

Fruits grown under greenhouses can be harvested almost year-round.

Dutch elite species:

• Have a high yield;
• Possess a high degree of protection against external factors;
• They have excellent taste qualities;
• Not inferior to the taste of Russian;
• Good to use, both in salads, and when pickling.

Dutch elite species lack a bitter taste, which can appear in cucumbers due to improper irrigation. Dutch varieties, in turn, lack an enzyme responsible for the bitterness. This is what causes the absence of bitterness in these cucumbers.

The only disadvantage of the Dutch species is that they do not have seeds that can later be planted. Their seeds usually do not germinate, and if they grow, cucumbers will be defective.

Dutch species are relatively quick to mature. Both early and late varieties are distinguished by the rate of ripening of the fetus. Usually the period between the first leaves and mature cucumbers is a month. All of the above indicates the quality and convenience of Dutch seeds, even in winter conditions.

Competent planting of cucumbers with seeds in the

greenhouse. Before planting seeds, they are sorted out, thereby screening out unsuitable for planting. When the seeds that need to be planted are many, the sample is carried out in a 3% solution of edible salt, then the seeds should be mixed and left for 10 minutes. After that, those that have surfaced are selected and discarded, and the rest should be washed.

Cucumber is a thermophilic plant. Seeds germinate at a temperature of 12-13 ° C

To accelerate the germination of seeds, soak them in aloe juice, and put these seeds in a damp rag, then you need to fold it, and then put it in food film and leave for 2 days inWarm place. At the end of time, swelling will occur, and the first sprouts will germinate.

Due to the fact that cucumbers do not tolerate the transplant, for seed seeds for seedlings, you should choose containers with a diameter of 7-9 cm. For this purpose, both the most common flower pots and hollow peat boxes are suitable.

When landing, do the following:

1. Fill the container, leaving 3 cm to the edge.
2. Lightly tamp.
3. Drizzle with warm potassium permanganate.
4. Make grooves 2 cm, and plant 2 cucumber seeds.
5. Seed seeds should be sprinkled with sifted earth and sprinkled with water.
6. Pots should be covered with food film and placed in a warm place.

Shoots will appear in 3 days. After emergence of shoots, it is necessary to remove the film, and transfer the seedlings to a well-lit place. To improve the humidity of the air, you should put a wet rag on the radiator. When the first leaves appear, you need to gently water the seedlings with warm water, then repeat the watering daily. Then the seedlings should be supplemented twice with a droppings, diluted to a ratio of 1:30 with water.

If there is no possibility of treatment with bird droppings, then it is possible to use complex mixtures or full mineral fertilizers - 2-3 gr. For 1 liter of water.

To get good results, the first feeding should be done, a couple of weeks after the shoot. The second - 2 days before the planting of sprouts in the greenhouse occurs. Top dressing is a one-pot irrigation solution of 7-8 plants. One day before top dressing, you should water the seedlings.

Care for seeds of cucumbers for growing in a greenhouse

First cucumbers are formed with a single stem, and then tied to a trellis, usually in 3-5 weeks. In the process of growth, the plants are twisted around the twine. Branching is regulated by pinching.

Correct planting of seedlings and organization of beds in the greenhouse - guarantee that the vegetables will mature within a few days

When growing cucumbers in the greenhouse, pay attention to the following aspects of care:

• Shrub formation;
• Degree of irrigation;
• Fertilizers;
• Pinching.

Watering cucumbers in a greenhouse is a very important process. It is necessary that the soil is always moist, but not too much. And the one and the other option is harmful. Because of this, leaves may fall off, the fruits may become deformed and, in general, the harvest may decline. In the heat it is necessary to water every day 5-10 liters per 1 m2.

Water cucumbers better in the evening and with a sprinkler on the nozzle of the watering can.

To regulate the concentration of various nutrients in the soil, the plants are replenished. For the usual owners of the garden are not available different soil analyzes, so to judge the need for certain elements can only be the appearance of plants. For example, with excess nitrogen, plants grow rapidly, they have green leaves, but they have problems with flowering.
