Bitterness-free cucumber varieties ideal for outdoor use

Part 2.

The first part of my collection dealt with the varieties of cucumbers that can be planted both under cover and without cover. But their yield is much better in greenhouse conditions. If you are going to plant in a greenhouse, then it is better to read the previous article on our channel.

Today my list is made up of varieties that are ideally suited for growing in the open field.

Let me remind those who have not read yet first part. If you are a summer resident who is not able to daily monitor the timeliness of the shelter of cucumbers and water in a timely manner, then ordinary varieties of cucumbers begin to taste bitter. From the stress experienced, the fruits begin to exude bitterness, and when fresh, it becomes not very tasty to eat them.

There are summer residents, sometimes they even plant and run a country house almost according to the principle “Planted and forgot”. They often forget to water in a timely manner; a shelter for them in general may be something unfamiliar. And some so

generally on weekdays they do not have the opportunity to go to the countrybecause how far away. Watering, spilling and removing weeds only on weekends. Today's selection will also be just right for such summer residents. Take a closer look.

By the way, I would like to first cite the words of one root crop breeder, a professional in our matter. Perhaps there are varieties that you have already bought, but you can understand whether they will taste bitter or not early, as explained in the quote:

As for the presence of bitterness in fruits, this is a genetically determined trait. If the bitterness gene is present, then depending on the prevailing stressful conditions, bitterness may appear in the fruit. The presence of such a gene can be very easily verified by trying the cotyledons of young plants. If they are bitter, then the plant has a bitterness gene and the fruits can be bitter. Conversely, if the cotyledons are sweet, then there is no bitterness gene in the plants, and the fruits will NEVER be bitter.

I'll just list the varieties, but they are similar in characteristics:
