Planting seedlings and then planting them in the ground is not enough to get a good harvest. They need to be looked after, and not just waiting for the moment the fruits appear.
My grandmother always has very good cucumbers. There are many of them, although, due to age, she makes a small bed. I somehow wondered how so, only a few bushes, and we collect cucumbers in buckets and distribute to neighbors.
Everyone in our family loves grandma's pickles. She always collected the seeds herself from the largest, thickest cucumber, which turned yellow over time.
Many people want to eat organic food and have summer cottages. But usually beginner gardeners have a very meager harvest. This does not come from laziness or wrong actions, but simply from a lack of experience and knowledge.
Many also water the bushes in the right amount, at a certain time, with water at the optimum temperature. And they bloom to the envy of everyone. But there are very few fruits. why this happens is completely incomprehensible.
Here's the thing. Subject to simple and not complicated rules, you can achieve a multiple increase in yield. Want to learn? Then listen, I'll tell you a secret. For this purpose (to increase the yield) my grandmother used a special feeding. They never let her down for many years of gardening.
Try this recipe too, then your cucumbers will be the best of those that you have ever tried.
The recipe for this magical top dressing is based on bread. All you need is just ordinary rye bread and clean well water. Bread (can be stale, yesterday's) needs to be broken into small pieces or cut. You will need a lot of it, a whole bucket. Then this broken bread must be poured with water and placed in a dark, cool place. You should forget about him for seven days.
In a week, the magic cucumber cocktail is ready. You can apply it directly at the root. It is convenient to do this with a ladle. I also measure the dosage with it: half a liter per bush. This is quite enough for them to begin to grow intensively and gain the ovary.
If there is no black bread in that amount, you can take a bag of dry yeast and use it instead of bread, or combine it with a small number of loaves.
The only difference is that the water that is poured into the mass must be warm. 5 g of yeast goes to 5-7 liters of water. It is infused in the heat for a couple of hours, and then it is diluted five times and used for watering. Under the bush, you still need half a liter of ready-made solution.
You can start such a magical feeding immediately after you notice the first ovaries. The main thing here is not to miss the moment. Fertilizer is applied about 4-5 times during the season. This does not harm the cucumbers at all. On the contrary, they will thank you with an excellent harvest.
Cucumbers are not a moody vegetable. But if you do not touch it and do not interfere with natural processes, then the number of cucumbers will be average at best. But the plant may well give you more. So why give up what goes straight into your hands. With a little care for the green bushes, you will see how it all ends.
Your acquaintances will certainly ask how you achieved this result. After all, the number of flowers, and the ovaries on the lashes will become much larger. By the way, this is very convenient if you don't like large cucumbers. Plucking them small, you will make it pleasant for yourself and the plant.
My grandmother never advertised the way she uses when growing cucumbers, only now she revealed to me a secret that has helped our whole family for many years.
