Growing and care

As a rule, a varietal hybrid of Topolek is grown by a seedling method. Seed material for seedlings is sown in early May. The seedlings are transferred to a permanent place when 3-4 leaves appear on them. This happens in early June. They are seated more often in a checkerboard pattern, 40 centimeters are left between the bushes, in the aisles - 40-50. Planting density - no more than 3 bushes per sq. m.With a weather forecast that promises night frosts, it is necessary to equip temporary shelters for planting.

It is desirable to form Poplar bushes in 1 trunk. On the main shoot, it will be necessary to remove the side branches at the first 2 nodes. As it grows, the main lash can be thrown over the trellis, then pinched half a meter from the fold.

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.
