Agronomists and scientists have come up with a formula for getting excellent results without much effort. When choosing seeds in a store, you should pay attention to the quality mark on the packaging.

The choice of cucumbers for planting is huge. There are hundreds of varieties and hybrids, some tasting better, some yielding higher yields, and some more resistant to disease.
