So you want to cucumbers in the winter... And in the cellar - only salted, in shop - tasteless. Only one way out - to take matters into their own hands and put cucumbers itself... So what that winter!
Which varieties to choose
Grow indoors only varieties that do not require pollination. I choose the "Flagship" and "Faust", a hybrid of good fruits "Window and balcony."
Will plant cucumbers on the kitchen window sill - the very bright and humid place apartments. preferably on south sideWhere a lot of sun, which means that the heat and light that are so fond of this tasty plant.
If you want to be with the harvest from autumn to late spring, begin to sow cucumbers need from the end of August and then every 2-3 weeks (tiers).
How to grow cucumbers on your windowsill
Someone puts on a sunflower seed in small glasses with the subsequent transfer. But with "migration" of cucumber weak shoots suffer long periods and tying and maturation of the fruit are tightened. I sow seeds directly into large containers: the best option - one seed in the three-liter pot
. Ground do myself out of garden soil, rotten sawdust, sand, ash and humus. Before planting the seeds germinate in moist gauze.After the appearance on the plant of the fourth sheet is required to pinch off his "crown", to form the bush - strengthen the side shoots. Cropped and extra mustache.
Support for cucumbers on a windowsill. To cucumber Scourge was to grow, I do on the screen mesh of the coarse thread.
Mustache, which will appear together with the fifth leaf, will be gradually cling to them, forming a magnificent green curtain - fantastic decor for winter dishes!
Important!
The company's success will largely depend on watering cucumber culture. Here the main thing to find a middle ground:
- do not dry up the ground, otherwise the plant will be weakened and the ovaries will not;
- and do not pour - the root system can rot and the plant dies.
I water a little every day, first just with water at room temperature, after two weeks after the onset of First sprouts add a "food" into the water: mineral fertilizers (buy in the store) and tincture of banana... peel.
Since the time of our agro-experiment - winter: natural light cucumber Scourge is not enough. At night, I arranged them a real greenhouse - fitolamp turn and halts the window with a piece of film cover. Such a greenhouse for 6-8 hours - a real "House of enhanced therapy"!
HURRAH! Harvest (days 40-45 after planting with proper care) can and should be on a daily basis, in order to "make way for" new ovaries. Greater entire crop!
