To begin with, comrades, let me load you with a little theory. A cucumber tastes bitter when an excess of a substance with a difficult to pronounce name - cucurbitacin - accumulates in the fruit. Uff, barely copied.

Even in normal and sweet cucumbers, ku-chicken-bi-ta-ching is present. But in very small quantities. And when "it" is produced in too large quantities - we frown, biting the "ass" of a fresh cucumber from the garden.

This order of affairs did not suit me.

They say that certain varieties of cucumbers are subject to bitterness more, the second less, and still others do not taste bitter from the word at all. This is worth considering when buying seeds.

The land in the garden with cucumbers should always be moderately wet. I try to prevent the topsoil from becoming dusty. And I noticed that the problem of bitter cucumbers disappeared from my dacha life.

By the way. It is necessary to water only with warm water. Showers with temperatures below 20 ° C can result in ovaries falling off. And I water it only in the evening: because during the day the sun will mercilessly dry out the moisture before it gets to its destination - to the roots.
