Growing
To obtain a good harvest of cucumbers of this variety, you must adhere to certain growing rules.
Seed preparation
Before planting, seeds must be checked for suitability for planting. Although all manufacturers guarantee good seed germination, they must be placed in a bowl or glass filled with water. Seeds suitable for planting will sink to the bottom, while empty or spoiled seeds will float to the surface. Growth stimulants (Ecosil, Emistim, Acrobat MC) will help to increase the germination of selected seeds; for this they are soaked in a solution for 2-3 hours.
Sowing seeds
Cucumber “Miracle bouquet” F1 is cultivated using seedless and seedling methods. With the second method, the plant develops more actively after transplantation. Planting seeds for seedlings is carried out in the following order:
- Place prepared or store-bought soil into the prepared container. To obtain strong seedlings, it is better to prepare a nutrient mixture for cucumbers yourself. Mix 2 parts peat and humus, 1 part rotted sawdust. To the resulting mixture, for every 10 kg, add 10 g of urea, 10 g of superphosphate, 10 g of potassium sulfate and 0.2 kg of ash.
- Make holes 2 cm deep, put seeds in them and cover with soil.
- Water the planted seeds generously.
- The room temperature must be maintained within 20-23 degrees.
- After the formation of 2-3 leaves, the seedlings are planted.
Expert opinion
Filatov Ivan Yurievich, private farmer for more than 30 years
As a rule, experienced gardeners plant seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse 20-30 days after sowing. The main condition before distributing seedlings into beds is the formation of several pairs of leaves on the plant and a growth of about 30 cm. 4-5 bushes are planted per 1 m2 of open ground and 2-3 bushes in the greenhouse. In a greenhouse, the bush is formed into one stem.
Planting in open ground using the seedless method:
- Make holes 50x50 cm in a specially designated, fertilized area of the garden.
- Make grooves 2-3 cm deep in the holes, put seeds in them and cover with soil.
- Water the holes generously.
- When cucumbers emerge, after the formation of 4 leaves, they are broken through, leaving 3-5 of the strongest plants in the hole.
Cucumbers Siberian Garland F1: growing features and reviews from summer residents.
Features of the variety Nuances of cultivation Proper care
Siberian Garland F1 is one of the last prides of the South Ural selection. And the variety itself received its name due to its incredibly abundant fruiting and easy ability to adapt to different climatic conditions.
Characteristic features of the variety
Perhaps the most important thing to note is that the cultivation of Siberian Garland F1 cucumbers is carried out equally successfully in any part of the country, even without additional shelter. The only exceptions are regions with arctic and subarctic climates. Otherwise, the variety quite easily tolerates both cold rainy periods and hot droughts.
In addition, among the features of the hybrid the following can be distinguished: - plants have a bunch type of fruiting; — the hybrid is extremely early ripening: the first harvest can be harvested within 1.5 months after emergence; — the fruits are small in size, from 5 to 8 centimeters, the skin is thin with white, non-prickly thorns; - the color of cucumbers changes from rich green to lighter at the base; — greens have crispy, juicy flesh, without voids inside; — the variety is self-pollinating; — the plants are quite massive and spreading, so they need artificial formation; - according to the assurances of breeders, with good weather and proper agricultural cultivation techniques, about 20 kilograms of cucumbers can be harvested from one bush in one season.
Care
Basic types of care for cucumbers.
Pinching or pinching cucumbers
The variety “Miracle Bouquet” F1 is self-pollinating, all flowers on the main stem are female. Therefore, pinching or pinching is not necessary.
Weeding
Weeding must be done periodically when weeds appear.
Watering
Cucumbers love high humidity and abundant watering. They are especially needed during active growth and fruit formation. Lack of moisture can lead to bitterness in cucumbers.
Do you always water your cucumbers on time?
Not really
After the moisture dries, a dense, dry crust forms in the holes, preventing the flow of air to the root system of the plant. Periodic loosening of the soil will solve this problem. You need to loosen the soil carefully so as not to damage the roots of the cucumber. You can prevent the soil from drying out quickly by mulching (filling the watered hole with grass or other organic materials).
Top dressing
Cucumbers need to be fed up to 4 times per season. These can be either folk or ready-made store remedies. Effective ready-made store-bought fertilizers are “Agricola”, “Rodnichok”, “Vegetable”, “Good Power”. When watering a plant with a fertilizing solution, you should avoid getting it on the roots, trunks and leaves of the cucumber.
Trellis garter
After properly tying cucumbers to a trellis, the yield of the bush increases and its life is extended. Without a garter, the shoots of cucumbers become intertwined, making it difficult to find holes for loosening, weeding and watering. Cucumbers need to be tied when they reach a height of 40-50 cm, guiding the plant up along the vertical or horizontal guides of the trellis. A plastic mesh can be used as guides.
Agricultural technology
The bouquet can be grown by direct sowing of seeds in the soil or by seedlings. Sowing or planting in unheated greenhouses is carried out starting in mid-May. In central Russia, open ground conditions will allow the procedure to be carried out in early June. In the southern regions, sowing or planting is carried out earlier than usual - in April (protected soil) or in May (open bed). Recommended planting density: in a greenhouse 2.5 - 3 seedlings per 1 square meter, outdoors - up to 5 bushes per the same area. The plant requires a mandatory garter on a trellis. Care is greatly facilitated due to weak branching, but in the first 4 leaf axils it is necessary to remove all shoots, ovaries and flowers. Cucumber loves watering; it should be done with warm water, preferably in the evening. In order for the variety to cope with a heavy load, it must be fed at least 3 times during the growing season.
The bundle hybrid Bouquet is a wonderful gift for working vegetable growers, because you can have time to plant seedlings and harvest during the vacation period. But not every variety can achieve such success. An unpretentious crop will respond with good fruiting to the attention of the gardener. No significant deficiencies were identified during cultivation. The only inconvenience is that cucumber seeds must be purchased annually.
Diseases and pests
Cucumber “Miracle Bouquet” F1 is resistant to the most common diseases. Diseases occur extremely rarely, but when growing a plant the following problems may arise:
- Aphid. Insects settle on cucumber leaves, causing them to curl and dry out. The drugs Decis and Arriva will help get rid of aphids. Preventing the formation and destruction of ant nests in the garden will also help in the fight against aphids.
- Ants are the main distributors of aphids; for them they are like “cows” that give milk.
Aphids and ants
- Root rot. When temperature changes and high humidity occur, brown spots appear on the roots, the stem dries out, followed by the leaves drying out and the plant dies. It is necessary to avoid watering and sprinkle sick plants with ash. If this does not help, the plant must be dug up, the soil treated with copper sulfate, and the plant burned. Prevention of the disease is disinfection of the soil and treatment of seeds before planting.
- Anthracnose. Brown spots appear on the leaves due to high humidity. The cucumbers begin to rot and taste bitter. Affected plants must be removed and the soil disinfected with potassium permanganate.
