Sow cucumbers in July. Will the mature before frost

In early July, I spend a second planting cucumbers. First landing spend in May. It grew through seedlings and seeds (sowed directly in the ground). Sowing in July cucumber gives a bountiful harvest.

This method is also suitable for those farmers who have received a small harvest in June-July. Experts recommend to sow cucumbers in July, from 1 to 20 numbers, then it is too late.

How to plant

Opt for sowing known early hybrids of cucumber, fruiting to occur within 40-45 days after emergence. This hybrid "Tom Thumb F1», «German F1», «Funny family F1». Since they do rich harvest - 6-7 fruits at the node.

These hybrids are growing in the open field and greenhouses, and greenhouses.

Recently I began to buy seeds, which should not be etched, and soak, because they are processed thiram (fungicide).

Conventional seeds need to be processed in a solution of potassium permanganate for 20 minutes. Then well rinsed in running water.

Deoxidation soil bed of adding chalk or dolomite flour - 1 cup 10 liters of water.

Prepared solution prepared wells under spill cucumbers. I sow the seeds to a depth of 1.5-2 cm, according to the scheme 70 to 30 cm. The wells are covered 5-liter plastic bottles, so the seedlings will sprout.

Care of seedlings

When these two leaf will fertilize boric acid. Flow rate - 5-10 grams per 10 liters of water. Under plant pour 0.5 liters.

As green manure fertilize every 10 days, and with the advent of flowers and ovaries stop watering herbal extract and use the ash solution. Ash 1 fertilize once a week. Flow Rate - 1 cup 10 liters of water.

It is possible to dry the ash in the form of scatter around the bushes (1-2 tbsp. spoons). After watering nutrients will go into the ground.

formation

If you are growing cucumbers in the greenhouse (in July it is rare to find an empty seat), they will have to form and suspended. The first leaf 2 and the first 2 stepson cut for better provetrivaemosti and the passage of air, which will save a lot of trouble, such as root rot.

In July, I usually re-precipitated cucumbers in the open ground or under the arc agrovoloknom because the greenhouse growing tomatoes, and free space is not there.
