If there are no shoots, do not blame the manufacturer - you should carefully study the recommendations on the bag.

Self-pollinating hybrid cucumber care

There are also dozens of hybrid varieties with combined properties. Most hybrids appear to be more hardy than the progenitor varieties and are suitable for greenhouse cultivation as well as outdoor conditions.

Not so long ago, only varieties of cucumbers were grown in the open field, which were pollinated by bees. Such cucumbers are distinguished by their amazing taste, they can be salted and pickled. But gradually they began to be replaced by self-pollinated varieties of cucumbers for open ground (parthenocarpics), or self-fertile F1 hybrids. Their fruits can be set without pollination by bees. Initially, such varieties were invented for closed greenhouses, but, as it turned out, they give high yields, growing on open land plots.

You can select the best cucumber seeds that will delight gardeners with a quality harvest.

If you start growing cucumbers outdoors, you can start experimenting with the most common varieties, mainly local ones. Long-term selection has already adapted them to local conditions, so it will be much easier to care for them than for all kinds of exotic. This is especially important for the northern regions: local varieties will be able to grow in almost any conditions, but the southern ones very poorly adapt to a more severe climate.

These cucumbers have undeniable benefits. Self-fertile hybrids are characterized by extremely high yields and green quality. Their fruits taste great without bitterness. Fruiting occurs continuously, and the plant itself is resistant to the most harmful diseases and unfavorable climatic conditions. Given the fact that bee populations are getting smaller every year, self-pollinated varieties of cucumbers for open ground have become a real boon for all gardeners and field growers. In addition, during the period of mass flowering of cucumbers, the weather is often cool, and then gardeners are faced with a problem: there are plenty of flowers, but no ovary. Therefore, self-pollinated high-yielding varieties of cucumbers for open ground are currently the most in demand in modern vegetable growing.

The site planned for a cucumber should be dug up to a depth of 25-30 cm in the fall, adding buckets of fresh manure to 1 m 2 and, if necessary, 2 tbsp. spoons of lime. In the spring, when the soil dries up a little, you should dig it up to a depth of 10–15 cm if the soil is loamy, or 15–20 cm if it is clayey. At the same time, you can add rotted sawdust, peat, straw, humus. Special attention should be paid to the looseness of the soil, since the root system of cucumber plants does not tolerate stagnant moisture.

You can name the basic rules for growing cucumbers:	Cucumbers have been grown in our country for a very long time, and breeding work over many centuries has made it possible to breed dozens of varieties that differ not only in yield and ripening time, but also in many other properties. Some of them are more suitable for greenhouse cultivation, and some are originally intended for planting in beds. How to choose the most productive varieties of cucumbers for open ground?	Cucumbers with white thorns are usually salad-type cucumbers. They are not suitable for salting. It is the cucumbers that have white thorns that come to our shelves from greenhouses at any time of the year. Even on the long, smooth fruits of the cucumber, you can see rare white thorns.

Experienced gardeners know that cucumbers are similar only externally, but the pulp of different varieties of fruits is completely different. They can be more or less watery, some of them are much more suitable for various canning options, rather than for eating fresh.	Brown or black thorns are a sign of a versatile or pickling type of cucumber. Most often, these varieties and hybrids are intended for cultivation in the open field or in greenhouses. Such fruits are consumed fresh, salted and pickled. However, these varieties of cucumbers also have a drawback: they quickly overripe, turn yellow, and become rough.

Cucumbers are a valuable food product that has won well-deserved popularity among the population of various countries on our planet. In this article, we will look at the best varieties of cucumbers that are suitable for certain conditions and needs. But do not forget, choosing a good variety is not all, cucumbers still need to be grown, so be sure to read the following articles: Growing Cucumbers Indoors and Growing Cucumbers Outdoors.

One of the secrets to a successful planting is that the seeds do not need to be presoaked. Because of this, they can die with temperature changes, which can occur at any time. If you plant dry seeds in the ground, they will gradually take up moisture in a natural way and will not suffer. As the name implies, they are grown specifically for salting, so fresh they may not seem very tasty. Usually the fruits are small to medium in size, their flesh is very dense, and the skin is thin. This allows them to quickly pass the brine and acquire the desired taste. At the same time, the pulp absorbs the aromas of seasonings well, and with proper salting, the taste is bright and rich.Early varieties ripen quickly and give a harvest. However, later varieties of cucumbers are more resistant to disease and bear fruit for a long time.

When choosing cucumbers for greenhouse cultivation, you can absolutely not think about anything else, except for the convenience and high yield of these wonderful vegetables. However, if we are talking about growing cucumbers in the open field, then in this case the most important factor is their zoning (for each region there is one or another variety of cucumbers). It is on this factor that not only the degree of yield depends, but also the question of how cucumbers of this variety will grow and whether you will grow at all. It should be noted that the further north your region is, the more important it is that the variety you grow in the garden is zoned (local). Only a few varieties grow equally well in the south and north.

Find the "right" varieties

The long-known and beloved cucumbers Phoenix 640, Phoenix Plus, Competitor are still reliable in terms of disease resistance, but modern varieties and hybrids ripen earlier and give a higher yield. When choosing, proceed from your capabilities and family preferences.

The fruits must be picked regularly as soon as they reach a length of 7-8 cm. Large cucumbers are often too watery and not too tasty, in addition, the plant spends too much energy on their cultivation.

Canned varieties intended for pickling in cans. The fruits are also small in size, while they can be curved. Their flesh is quite dense, and the rind is thin, in many respects they are similar to salting.

The cucumbers you choose to grow must be resistant to weather conditions as well as diseases that are common in your area.

There are a huge number of varieties of cucumbers, but only the right, competent choice of varieties will allow you to get a good harvest and satisfaction from the work performed.	Growing through seedlings speeds up fruiting by 2 weeks. Sowing is carried out in May in order to plant the plants in open ground on June 7-10, when the threat of frost has passed.

For watering, it is advisable to use only warm water, and the soil around the roots is watered, and not the plant itself. If the water does not go well into the ground, you can carefully pierce the soil with a pitchfork, trying not to damage the roots.
Salad varieties - cucumbers intended for fresh consumption. It is in this group that the most productive varieties are included, and their fruits can be truly huge in size. Due to their very hard peel, it is undesirable to use them for salting, since the pulp may turn out to be flabby and will not acquire the desired taste.	If the variety is parthenocarpic (female flowering type), then a pollinator must be planted with it. Otherwise, the selected variety will not give the expected results - it will bloom profusely, and few fruits will be tied. In addition, parthenocarpic varieties are usually grown in film shelters or greenhouses. If these varieties are pollinated by bees, then the fruits will be ugly and twisted. Therefore, you should refrain from growing these varieties outdoors, unless there is an indication that they are suitable for this purpose.
First of all, it is necessary to plant varieties that are zoned in a given climatic zone. Some varieties of cucumbers can only be grown outdoors, others in greenhouses or greenhouses.	The cucumber does not tolerate transplanting well, so it is better to sow it immediately in individual pots. For seedlings to be healthy and strong, good soil is needed. These can be high-quality commercial mixes intended for cucumbers and zucchini. The pots must be strong and have drainage holes. The soil mixture is filled into containers 1 cm below the edge, compacted well and spilled abundantly. When the excess water drains off, you can start sowing: make a hole in the center to a depth of 1–1.5 cm, put a seed there, then sprinkle on top with dry soil mixture and press lightly. Cover the pots with plastic wrap and place in a bright and warm place.

It is a well-known fact that after many years of experimentation, the genetics of the United Arab Emirates have produced cucumbers with square fruits, which are convenient both for storage and for transportation. They say that the taste of such cucumbers does not differ from ordinary ones.

By studying this article, you can get acquainted with the best varieties of cucumbers for open and closed ground, consider the concept of the yield of varieties, their characteristics, purpose (salad, pickling). Choosing from the varieties offered by the modern market, experienced gardeners still prefer varieties of cucumbers of domestic selection and those that are most adapted to growing in the region of their residence.

At a temperature of 25-28 ° C, seedlings will appear in 3-4 days, at a lower temperature - in 5-7 days. When growing seedlings, it is advisable to monitor the temperature regime: during the day 20-22 ° C, at night 19-20 ° C. This difference between day and night temperatures ensures good root development and stimulates the formation of female flowers. If your seedlings begin to stretch, you can lower the temperature at night to 16-17 ° C. Do not create drafts: they are destructive for a cucumber.

As a vegetable grown by humans for consumption, cucumbers have been known for thousands of years. During this time, many varieties of this vegetable were bred that can grow under different weather conditions. And breeding work to improve the culture continues now. New varieties, hybrids are being bred now. Growing cucumbers is not an easy process, especially when they are planted in open ground. Much depends on the weather, soil, care, but the vegetable variety also plays a huge role. High-yielding varieties of cucumbers for open ground are well adapted to the growing conditions of central Russia.

High-yielding varieties

Verified varieties are chosen for planting. They yield crops even under unfavorable conditions and require very little maintenance.

Delicacy variety. It belongs to the early maturing. Very resistant to cold snaps. However, only when they do not take very long time. At the end of May, a landing is made in the ground. The fruits, as they ripen, are harvested for quite a long time. Cucumbers resemble small cylinders in shape. The surface is covered with tubercles. The fruits are dark green in color. Excellent variety for preservation.

The son of the regiment. The first fruits of these small gherkins appear after planting for a maximum of 45 days. By the type of flowering, they are female. The cucumbers themselves are oval, covered with rather large tubercles. They are rarely located on the surface. Fruits grow up to 8 cm. They cannot outgrow, which makes them especially valuable. They are not very susceptible to diseases.

Madam. Kornishonov is another representative. This is a mid-season variety. Female flowering type. 48 days is the time of fruit ripening. Can be pollinated by bees. Cylindrical fruits up to 12 cm long. The tubercles are small. The color is bright green. White stripes are a characteristic feature of this hybrid cucumber. They are subtle. The fruits are not prone to overgrowth.

Alligator. Good hybrid for soil. It belongs to a self-pollinated species. It also bears fruit well in the greenhouse. Cucumbers are 40 cm long, they are dark green, with small. Dark green fruits reach a length of 40 cm, small tubercles on their surface. Cucumbers taste sweet. The hybrid has a high resistance to various diseases.

Chinese disease resistant. Strong, very resistant plant with small leaves. The name suggests that this variety is not very susceptible to various kinds of diseases. It tolerates temperature changes perfectly. Fruit color is green. Cucumbers with a completely flat surface without tubercles, 35 cm long.

April. An early hybrid. This hybrid is perfectly cultivated at home, on a balcony or veranda. And for open ground, April is an excellent choice. The first cucumbers appear on the 55th day. Cucumbers grow large, their weight is 250 grams, length is 25 cm. Large fruits weighing up to 250 grams and a length of 25 cm. The length of the fruits is not as great as in previous varieties, but the weight is impressive. These sweetish cucumbers are well suited to salads, and are also used to prepare various dishes. From the name itself it is clear that seeds can be planted in April. The variety is really very resistant to changes in the weather, not pretentious in terms of soils.

Erofei. A variety similar to April. What unites them is that a rather early landing is possible. Erofey is pollinated by bees, so he has no other options for planting, except for soil. Fruits are very small, elongated, up to 7 cm, medium tuberosity. The taste is sweetish. These cucumbers are good in salads and for canning. Powdery mildew is not terrible for an already grown plant; Erofei is practically not susceptible to it.

Corinna... Super early hybrid. It is very little susceptible to changes in air temperature. For this reason, this is an excellent option for soil. Dark green gherkins 10 cm long are covered with small tubercles. At the end of May, the seeds are planted in the beds. Care is most needed. A large harvest is always collected from the plot.

Connie. The variety belongs to the mid-season. The end of May is the best time to put seeds in the ground. Flowers are pollinated by bees. At the end of 45 days, the first cucumbers ripen and they can be removed from the branches. The first fruits appear after 45 days, so this variety can be attributed to early ripening. In shape, the fruits are similar to cylinders, their length is 8 cm. Do not be afraid that they will outgrow their size - this is excluded. Salads, canning are the main areas of application for Corinna cucumbers.

Nezhinsky. For lovers of vegetables such as cucumbers, their size is often very important. The larger the cucumber, the more difficult it is to preserve it, and its taste after salting will be poor. Therefore, small-sized vegetables are most acceptable in any quality. This is a mid-season variety, when ripe, the length of the fruit is 12 cm. It is also necessary to take into account the elementary fact that the plants of this variety are pollinated only by bees, therefore the most convenient way of planting it is to place the seeds in the ground.

The listed varieties are mainly domestic, but there are indications of dutchwhich also bring very good harvests. When they are sown in the beds. Of these, the most persistent and fruitful for central Russia can be distinguished. These include the "Chinese Serpent". These cucumbers are very tender, sweet, they are most useful in salads. And in general, this variety is exactly salad, at best such fruits can only be salted at the level of lightly salted. This series also includes a number of hybrids, such as "Chinese heat-resistant", for example, or "Emerald Stream". All of them are just salad options that ripen quickly enough in the open field. And their appearance is about the same, it is presented in the next photo.

Ecole F1. This hybrid belongs to those who bear early fruits. It is 40 days, just like the dead, and green cucumbers 12 cm long appear. There are many small bumps on the surface, and the bushes are very tall. The fruits do not overripe, but you need to know that you do not need to wait for them to reach the established standard of length, you need to pick them already at the level of 8 cm. These are cucumbers primarily for salads, snacks based on cucumber slices. But salting them is also worth trying.

Pace F1. This hybrid ripens early. His bush is not very branched. Weaving not developed on a single branch ripens 2 - 3 cucumbers. They are long, similar to cylinders, their length is 10 cm, the ripening period is 45 days. But we always ask ourselves how to use this or that variety, hybrid. This one can be safely used both in salads and in conservation.

Herman F1. This is also a hybrid, like many of the previous ones. And its distinguishing feature is that it bears early fruit. But this is not even the most important thing, because there are other varieties that bear fruit early. Its main advantage over all is a very large number of ripe cucumbers collected from the bushes. Oddly enough, but its fruits are distinguished by a dark shade of green, there are many small bumps on their surface. Definitely this cucumber goes directly to the salad. But the main thing for us is its ability to salt it. And these prospects are excellent - you can safely and a lot of salt.

The varieties, hybrids of cucumbers, which are indicated above, are part of self-pollinated plants, and some require partial pollination. They are very resistant to external changes in the environment, as well as to cold weather, precipitation.

They are capable of producing large yields, and many of them are among those that ripen very early. Having planted seeds of these varieties in the ground, the gardener will certainly collect a good collection of green fruits, and they can be eaten with fresh ones and salted.

Self-pollinated cucumber varieties

The plant will bear fruit if its flowers are pollinated by insects. This axiom is not always effective, because there are options when in one plant there are two principles, both male and female. In this case, self-pollination can very easily occur, that is, it is enough for the action of the wind or special human actions with the help of which the pollen is transferred, and the formation of the fetus will occur. This is a very convenient way to propagate cucumbers. In this case, varieties and hybrids are needed that are simply ideal for a self-pollinated method, when grown simply in a garden with seeds.

Alliance F1... A hybrid that produces highly abundant crops. We take a square meter and collect 17 kg of cucumbers from it. Unusual at 15 cm long, and each weigh 125 grams. Fifty days is the time of their ripening and therefore they are called mid-season.

Fervor F1. A very early variety. On the 38th day, small fruits up to 8 cm ripen. They require a minimum of care and watering, they are very adapted to various climatic conditions, they even endure unexpected frosts, which other cucumbers can destroy. The dense pulp of these cucumbers makes it possible to use them in salads, as well as salt in unlimited quantities.

Gerda. The variety is very good for growing small cucumbers. 10 cm long, light green color, moderate tuberosity. Their taste is sweetish, this type of cucumber is good for pickling, preserving and just cooking different dishes. In a way, this is a special kind of gherkins.

City gherkin. This variety is not called so by chance, it can be grown at home on a balcony or veranda in small tubs. Moderate watering, proper care will give results. In winter, you can pick large cucumbers, which weigh 100 grams and reach a length of 12 cm. If you plant seeds in the ground, then after 40 days you can collect 17 kg of cucumbers from the plot, and this is a very good result.

Orpheus F1. A miracle happens after sowing this hybrid in the ground. Since when the 38th day expires, a small cucumber is born on each branch. Its length is 13 cm, and all 100 grams. Small bumps cover its surface. If you try the fruit, it is sweet, which means that the salad will be excellent based on this vegetable, and the canning will be at the highest level.

A friendly family. Another representative of mid-season cucumbers. They mature after planting in 45 days and produce good yields. The varieties of advantages can also be attributed to diseases, resistance and unpretentiousness to changes in external environmental conditions.

Machaon. This hybrid is very resistant to diseases. Even at the stage of seedling ripening. Bears fruit quite a lot. You can collect 15 kg of cucumbers 13 cm long, weighing 100 grams from one bush. In the case when they occupy an area of \u200b\u200bone square meter.

Advance payment F1. The hybrid ripens perfectly, which is in the cultivated land. It was planted with seeds, not seedlings. It is resistant to fungal diseases due to this it is necessary to explain its adaptability to weather changes. In the middle part of the Russian country, these changes are so common.

Cupid F1. This hybrid belongs to the very early ones. Thirty-eight days and he's ripe. Cucumbers are large and dense, they are good for pickling, they are also quite useful in daily use. The surface of the cucumbers is even, with numerous tubercles, the flesh is very fleshy, there are few seeds.

Growing cucumbers in the ground features

Varieties, hybrids of cucumbers are quite applicable in order to be planted in the ground and they grow, give fruits. Considering all the peculiarities of the weather in central Russia. But in order for business to go most successfully, certain conditions must be observed.

1. Even in the fall, prepare the garden bed by carefully digging it up, and in the spring having dug it up, the soil for the cucumbers should be well loosened. We must proceed from the fact that the bed should be 70 cm wide and 30 cm deep, so that there are five seedlings per meter.
2. Having prepared the garden bed in the fall in the center, we make a depression about 30 cm, we put peat, foliage, grass and sawdust in it. Cover with earth and leave until spring. We supplement this compost in May with manure, earth, and also add 20 grams of superphosphate, 10 grams of potassium and a little manganese solution
3. All the prepared mixture from the pit is evenly distributed over the surface of the garden bed, which is carefully dug again. After that, the soil is ready for planting or seeds or seedlings.
4. Planting seedlings is the most effective way to grow cucumbers, but for the varieties and hybrids listed, the best way is to immediately place the seeds in the prepared soil and then they form excellent shoots that give the fruits of early cucumbers or mid-ripening ones.

Planting cucumbers in open ground is the most traditional and understandable for an ordinary gardener, who is used to growing his crops without resorting to special tricks in the form of greenhouses. By simply planting a change in prepared soil, good fruit can be grown using varieties that are best suited to normal growth.

Naturally, each gardener has his own personal list of favorite varieties of cucumbers that show the best results specifically on his site for a long period when grown outdoors. However, it will be useful for novice summer residents to learn about the hybrids and varieties of cucumbers that have received the most popularity and recognition among experienced gardeners. And here a rational approach will be needed to find the options that are right for you, which give the highest and most stable yields. As you know, the ripening time, taste, appearance and resistance to diseases and pests are very important.

What are the best cucumber hybrids and varieties for outdoor cultivation?

For obvious reasons, it is believed that they are optimal for growing in open ground, and in a greenhouse - (not requiring pollination).

Interesting! On packs of some parthenocarpic cucumbers, it is written that the hybrid is intended for indoor use (greenhouses). But this does not mean at all that you cannot plant it in the open field, because among the main advantages of growing parthenocarpic cucumbers in the open field are the following: they tolerate temperature extremes better (for example, if you have an unstable climate), get sick less, store well , do not turn yellow and do not lose their presentation for a long time.

Also for pollination you don't need bees (bumblebees), which you may not have in sufficient quantity at all (although you don't need a lot of them).

Before buying cucumber seeds, namely choosing a specific hybrid or variety, you should ask yourself a few questions:

• In which place you will have cucumber bed - in the sun or in partial shade?

By the way! It is believed that only a few self-pollinated cucumber hybrids can bear fruit normally in low light conditions, but almost all bee-pollinated ones. However, a sufficient number of shade-tolerant both parthenocarpic and bee-pollinated cucumbers have now been bred.

• Are you planning collect cucumber seeds, that is, do you need varietal (then - yes) or hybrid seeds (then - no, because seeds of F1 hybrids do not retain their maternal properties, there is no point in collecting them)?

By the way! About, how to properly collect and harvest cucumber seeds, written in detail.

Also, depending on the ripening period, cucumbers are divided into early (early ripening), medium or late ripening. But all popular varieties, as a rule, are exactly early or early maturing.

The following will provide a brief overview and description of the most popular hybrids and varieties of cucumbers for open ground depending on the type of pollination: self-pollinated (and it is more correct to say exactly “ parthenocarpic"Or" not requiring pollination ") and bee-pollinated.

Interesting! How to easily distinguish a hybrid from a variety:

• the hybrid first has a small cucumber, and then it reveals flower.
• the variety at first just a yellow flower appears, which is not the fact that it will become a cucumber (perhaps it is a male flower).

The best self-pollinated (parthenocarpic) cucumbers for open ground: top 5

Note! Bee-pollinated and parthenocarpic cucumbers cannot be grown on the same bed., otherwise, with such a joint planting, the greens will turn out to be crooked and ugly, as well as, as a rule, pear-shaped (bottle) shape. The fact is that pollinating insects (bees, bumblebees) will, among other things, also pollinate the flowers of parthenocarpic cucumbers, which do not need this and will only harm them (their shape will change).

It would seem that such a thing as growing cucumbers is not a big deal. According to knowledgeable people, this is actually the case. True, if you arm yourself with certain knowledge. For example, how to choose the right type of vegetable. You can understand all the cucumber variety by answering three questions.

How to choose the right variety?

• Where will the vegetable be grown? As a rule, "green ones" grow in a greenhouse, greenhouse or open field. It is not uncommon to grow them on the windowsill.
• When would you like to get the harvest? You can eat young cucumbers in early June. The most patient are ready to wait until July or August.
• How long would you like to get a harvest of cucumbers?

According to this principle, the "green ones" are conventionally divided into early, middle and late... It is worth remembering that early plant varieties are more likely to get sick. In addition, compared to the late ones, they have a shorter fruiting period. If the variety of cucumbers is chosen correctly, they are not afraid of either false or real, or bacteriosis. The main thing is to pay attention to the increased resistance of plants to these misfortunes.

It is worth deciding what vegetables are for. After all, someone prefers to salt them, while someone is not averse to crunching fresh. And then lettuce, pickling and universal varieties are distinguished. Naturally, each of them has certain advantages.

The best varieties of cucumbers for outdoor cultivation

Many of those varieties that are recognized as successful are hybrids. Them easy to distinguish by F1 mark... Hybrids are obtained by crossing with seeds of the first generation. Such a plant should be:

1. hardy;
2. productive;
3. have an enviable fruit taste.

April F1

The hybrid, which is early maturing and versatile, bears fruit in 45–55 days from the time of germination. By the way, it is easily grown not only in the open field, but also on the windowsill and balcony. The reason for this is the compact size of the plant and its ability to self-regulate branching. Cylindrical fruits are large in size. Their mass often reaches 200-250 grams, and their length - up to 22-25 centimeters. Pleasant additions are undemanding care, lack of bitterness, cold resistance.

Deserved recognition of gardeners for planting in open ground and such varieties of "green" as "Phoenix" and "Dalnevostochny".

What do the gardeners say?

"Spring F1" and "Masha F1", probably the most fruiting... The second is also good for those who want to grow vegetables on their windowsill. But if, nevertheless, cucumbers grow in open ground, the main thing for them is moderate watering. So there is a chance to harvest even in October.

There is nothing better than F1 Alligator cucumbers. Long fruiting period and excellent taste - for those who prefer fresh fruits. But to salt such a variety is better cut into slices.

"Chinese disease-resistant" F1, gherkins "Son Polka" F1, cucumbers of the "Zasolochny" variety are distinguished by long and abundant fruiting, indicative taste and market characteristics, therefore they are recommended for salting. In addition, they are resistant to the most common diseases.

What else is important to know?

Among the hybrid varieties of cucumbers, there are bee-pollinated and parthenocarpic, that is, capable of forming ovaries and bearing fruit without pollination. When choosing the first, it is important that bees are found on the site.

The presence of male and female flowers will help to avoid barren flowers. Usually, the first have a three-sided, and the second - a four-sided shape. You can determine the sex of the plant by the first fruit. To do this, you need to cut it across, and see how the seeds are located. In the male cucumber, they are in three segments, in the female cucumber, in four.

When determining those varieties of cucumbers that are more suitable for growing in the open field for you, you should remember about zoned seeds, tested by more than one generation of gardeners.

Cucumbers are vegetables that every Russian gardener grows, and all because the climatic conditions of our country allow you to enjoy them in full in the summer. However, in order to preserve part of the summer harvest of cucumbers, this vegetable is used as a material for pickling. In order to have time to taste salads and enjoy greens from a jar in winter, it is best to plant more cucumbers. Since spacious greenhouses are not present in every vegetable garden, we will talk about which cucumbers are the best varieties for open ground.

Before we begin a detailed examination of the specific varieties of the culture of interest to us, which are perfectly grown in an unprotected street environment, it is necessary to identify two main groups into which all available varietal varieties are subdivided.

Table 1. The main categories of cucumber varieties

Self-pollinating cucumbers

Insect-pollinated cucumbers

Cucumber varieties that can self-pollinate during growth are characterized by: increased immunity to negative environmental factors; bountiful harvest. The thing is that these varietal varieties, in order for the flower to pollinate, do not need outside help from insects, because the inflorescences have: and pistils; and stamens. Consequently, the harvest is obtained from almost all peduncles.

Plants that belong to the category of insect-pollinated cucumbers can only set a fruit from a flower if there is the mentioned outside help from bees, bumblebees, etc. However, these varieties are used because it is the varieties that do not pollinate independently that produce fruits that smell and taste much more appetizing than their self-pollinated companions. In addition, cucumbers of the described category can produce crops even if they grow in the shade, and rarely catch the sun's rays.

When determining which variety of the crop of interest to us, suitable for cultivation directly in the conditions of unprotected street stalls, you need, first of all, indicate to yourself what is the main goal of the cultivation processes you set:

• obtaining the maximum amount of harvest;
• obtaining cucumbers of excellent taste.

Of course, it is also possible to achieve a large number of fruits from non-self-pollinated cucumbers, as well as to grow crispy, tasty fruits from self-pollinated ones, but nevertheless, the sought parameters will be average compared to what they would ideally be.

So that you can more easily and quickly make a choice of one or another varietal variety, or choose several at once, further in this section we present the most popular varieties among domestic gardeners, which are planted directly on the street at the beginning of each growing season.
