Features of cultivation

Ginga cucumbers can be planted both in greenhouses and in open ground, so the seeds are popular among people who do not have the opportunity to establish a greenhouse on the site.

Sowing is done with dry seeds in the soil without preliminary germination and seedling production. But in order to get an earlier harvest, you still have to grow seedlings at home, and then transplant them to a permanent place of growth.

Requirements for growing this variety are low, but they are:

• Before planting in the soil, the seeds are hardened. This is done so that the plants do not suffer from temperature changes in the future. And in our regions, this phenomenon is not uncommon.
• The land is fertilized with mineral fertilizers before sowing seeds.
• Spill the area with warm water for germination.
• Planting begins in May, at a constant air temperature during the day from 20 degrees, at night not lower than 14. Seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse earlier - from April 15 to April 20. Thus, the growth of seedlings in the greenhouse will be faster than seeds in the open field.
• Seeds are planted to a depth of 2 centimeters.

Plant care

To get quality fruits, you need to properly care for plants:

1. Since, according to the description of the variety, the bush has an indeterminate type, the main and additional branches of the bush are formed and limited in growth.
2. For the entire growth period, the bushes are fed 3-4 times with mineral and chemical fertilizers. Otherwise, the harvest will be poor.
3. Irrigation is also a prerequisite for fruit growth. If the seedlings are planted outside, then there is no need to water during heavy rains, and in the greenhouse they moisten the soil once every 2-3 days.
4. Inspection of plants for diseases is carried out daily. If you start the development of the fungus, it will destroy the entire future crop.
5. Weeding and loosening of cucumber beds is carried out as needed, weed grows quickly and at the same time draws minerals from the soil.

If you follow the recommendations for growing Ginga cucumbers, you will get an excellent harvest of delicious and beautiful cucumbers.
