For seedling growing, you can sow seeds in late February or early March. When the ground warms up enough, the threat of frost has passed, seedlings can be planted in open ground, while the temperature should be at least 18 ° C. Bushes need to be planted rarely, so that they do not shade each other and bear fruit well.

Important! The recommended scheme is 2 bushes per 1 sq. m. The plant can be immediately tied to the support.

Planting needs regular watering and fertilization. It is important to water often, but little by little: every day, 0.5 liters of warm, settled water for each bush. Drip irrigation can be used.

Drip irrigation

Note! The soil should not be waterlogged, since stagnant water provokes rotting of the root system. It is also necessary to ensure that no crust forms on the surface of the earth. It is important to loosen the soil and remove weeds.

After 15 days from the moment of planting in the soil, the plant can be fertilized. During the season, feeding must be done 3-4 times. Organic fertilizers can be used:

mix chicken dung and water in equal parts. Close and leave for 7-10 days to ferment;
strain and dilute the infusion with clean water in a ratio of 1:10.

Under each bush, you can make 0.5 liters of such a dressing. Mineral fertilizers can be used. To do this, mix:

10 gr. ammonium nitrate;
10 gr. superphosphate;
10 gr. potassium salt;
10 liters of water.

Fertilizing cucumbers with mineral fertilizers

During the fruiting period, the amount of potassium is increased.

Cucumber Vyatsky must be pinned. To increase the yield, it is worth forming one stem; for this, all stepsons are removed as necessary. Up to 5 flowers are formed in each node.

Within 40 days from the first sunrises, the first fruits can be harvested - this is an early ripening variety. Cucumbers are harvested in the morning, when they gain maximum moisture, every 2 days. With proper care from one square. m can be harvested per season up to 20 kg of fruit.

Important! Overgrowth should not be allowed, as this affects the yield.

Although the plant is resistant to disease, it is important to monitor the health of the leaves. At the first appearance of aphids and other pests, the leaves are simply removed, and if there are enough of them, it is necessary to treat with safe preparations. For example, spray with a warm solution of laundry soap.
