With approach of spring many gardeners begin to prepare for landing season. Windowsills and balconies are decorated with seedling boxes where tiny sunflower seeds for receiving seedling are landed. One of the most often landed cultures are cucumbers.
Cucumber sunflower seeds can be landed both in the general forcing tanks, and in accurate plastic cups if the place allows. Landing of cucumber seeds in glasses is more convenient as it is not required to carry out sword-play on reaching certain size saplings. At disembarkation in soil or the greenhouse it is more convenient to take out earth lump from glass, it is undisturbed. The root system of plant becomes stronger on the new place quicker, and the plant begins to develop further.
When landing cucumbers in such a way the harvest manages to be received quicker. At the attentive relation to growth of seedling it is possible to remove large number of fruits and to strike neighbors with their quantity.
When to plant seeds of cucumbers in glasses
Time of planting of seeds should be counted depending on features of the region. For its definition it is possible to use the following data: disembarkation of the majority of grades of culture can be replaced to the constant place in 2-3 weeks from the moment of emergence of shoots. It will be simple to those gardeners who not for the first time are engaged in landing of cucumbers to calculate landing time of seeds. As a rule, the strengthened saplings of cucumbers try to land to the open ground in the last dates of May, but term can be moved – it is necessary to wait while the threat of frosts passes.
Why in glasses it is possible to receive more viable seedling
Cucumbers – culture quite exacting, and for successful growth it should provide as the smaller number of changes is possible. Even the sword-plays executed carefully take away from development of plant several days during which it will restore forces.
Landing process
Crops of cucumbers on seedling are made so. Seedling tanks are prepared – in them openings for air access are cut from below, soil is filled up. To edge of capacity it is necessary to leave 1-1.5 cm. Then in soil one previously wetted cucumber sunflower seed is located. It should be submerged in substrate on depth of one and a half-two centimeter.
Then the container with cucumber seeds for some time remains in the quiet place until on surface shoots appear. After germination of green leaflets from the earth the glasses move to the light place – windowsill or another suitable. Sometimes plants need dosvechivaniye, especially in cases when gardeners wish to receive early shoots for the subsequent change in the heated greenhouse. In this case crops of seeds is made earlier – for example, at the beginning of March.
