How to prolong the fruiting of cucumbers for a month, or even two.

Cucumbers can rightfully be called one of the most common vegetables grown by gardeners in their backyards. Fruiting begins in the first half of summer, and ends in late August or early September.

There is a technique by which you can extend the fruiting period by one or even two months. There is nothing difficult to do.

The most important thing is to follow the rules and sequence.
Of course, in terms of volume, the second crop no longer competes with the first, but still, you can collect a few dozen more fresh and crispy cucumbers. To do this, you just need to follow the following simple recommendations:

Always pick cucumbers on time. This is very important, because overgrown root crops lose their taste characteristics. but at the same time they take away a sufficiently large amount of nutrients that could be used to form new ovaries.

Systematically engage in the rejuvenation of vegetable crops. This is a very important event, but it is not particularly difficult. So, you only need to remove the yellowed leaves, as well as other wilted parts of the plant.

It is very important to remove those leaves that are located slightly below the fruiting zone. This will give the vegetable crop the extra light it needs. In addition, after such an event, aeration is significantly improved, and the risks of putrefactive processes are reduced.

You should also let the stalk in to provide the cucumbers with stronger nutrition.
Do not forget about the systematic application of fertilizers.

So, top dressing is required for additional nutrition of the soil, which, as a rule, is already quite depleted by the end of summer. Foliar top dressings also bring many benefits, as they protect the cultivated plant from diseases that can lead to their premature death.

Another important activity is mulching. It is necessary in order to protect the root system from the negative effects of low temperatures. Also due to this, additional soil nutrition is provided.

If all of the above activities are carried out in a timely manner and with high quality, you can really increase the fruiting period of cucumbers of any variety by several weeks.
