How to plant cucumbers correctly

Cucumbers are very thermophilic plants that should be sown only when the temperature is stable and above zero day and night. When the temperature is above 25 degrees, it is important to control soil moisture. The most comfortable time for planting cucumbers is from May to July.

To have a good harvest before winter, sow cucumbers in waves - every two weeks.

Cucumbers are sown directly into the soil rather than growing seedlings. There are two ways to do this - directly into the garden and on a net.
