The cucumber is medium-sized, the distance between the plants is 40 cm, 40-70 cm are left in the aisles - it depends on personal convenience. In open ground, plants can be planted a little more often - there is a lot of fresh air, and you can not be afraid of outbreaks of fungal or bacterial infections when they thicken.

Growing and caring

The variety grows well in the open field. Seeds are sown in May and early June, when the soil warms up to + 15 ° C. At night, the soil temperature should be at least + 8 ° C. In regions with unstable spring weather, plantings are additionally covered with a film or non-woven material.

Crispina's cucumber was specially bred for high tolerance to unfavorable conditions at the beginning of the growing season, therefore, the seedlings are resistant to cold snaps, temperature extremes. But all the same, it is desirable to organize them an even temperature, all cucumbers love it.

The tops of adult Crispin bushes are extremely resistant to dry air, so the cucumber grows well and does not get sick even in a sharply continental climate.

However, in hot weather, plants still need additional watering.If the temperature is + 30 ° C and above, cucumbers are watered daily in the morning and in the evening. During milder dry weather - watered in the evening, after sunset. Only warm water is taken for irrigation.

Top dressing is optional, but desirable. All cucumbers are very responsive to organic feeding (diluted slurry, bird droppings, infusion of banana skins, crushed eggshells). You can use a complex mineral fertilizer - a sufficient amount of calcium, potassium, magnesium and boron will make the cucumbers even tastier.

Soil requirements

In order to collect strong, tasty and beautiful cucumbers on your site, you need to make top dressing. Lack of nutrients can negatively affect the appearance of the plant and significantly reduce the yield. Fertilize cucumbers with organic fertilizers in combination with mineral fertilizers. With the right balance of these components and adherence to the fertilizing schedule, the cucumber yield will be maximum.

Disease and pest resistance

The variety is very tenacious, it is resistant to powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus, olive spot. It may suffer a little from downy mildew, but even in this case, the plants will actively bear fruit. If spots are found on the leaves, the plants are sprayed with a solution of whey: for 1 liter of water - 2 cups of whey and 1 drop of iodine. Use this mixture once every seven days. All surfaces of the leaves are thoroughly treated, including the wrong side.

Instead of whey, you can use an ash solution (1/3 of a bucket of ash is poured with hot water to the brim, insisted for 2 days, filtered) or "Fitosporin".

Despite their popularity, cucumbers are often attacked by diseases and pests. From them, cucumber plantings often die before the start of fruiting.
