Fresh vegetables are sold in supermarkets all year round, but how can you compare these tasteless vegetables brought from nowhere with vegetables grown on your own plot?! And how after a long winter you want vitamins, including fresh cucumbers. You can quickly get an excellent harvest in a greenhouse if you are responsible for choosing a hybrid and caring for plants. Let us recall the well-known variety "Zozulya" for a long time. These cucumbers are very pleasant in taste and give a bountiful harvest (about 10-12 kg per square meter). They go with a bang fresh and are suitable for various processing.

The first slightly tuberculate dark green fruits with pale white stripes can be harvested 46-48 days after seed germination. Due to the fact that "Zozulya" - cucumbers that form fruits without pollination by insects, the variety is great for growing in a greenhouse, greenhouse and even on a windowsill. In the room you can harvest even in winter! An indoor plant will look original, capable of hanging the entire window with its lashes with fruits. To the listed advantages of the variety, one can add its resistance to many diseases characteristic of this vegetable crop. It's no surprise that "Zozulya" is a cucumber loved by Russians.summer residents.

To get the Zozulya cucumber, cultivation begins with preparing a place for sowing seeds. Dry sawdust is poured over with boiling water, waiting for it to cool to a temperature of 25-28 degrees, then seeds are sown. A few days later, the plants in the form of expanded cotyledons are transplanted into peat pots, where they develop until transplanted into the greenhouse. It is important to water the seedlings in a timely manner and maintain the required soil temperature (27-28 degrees until the seeds hatch, and 20-22 degrees afterwards). If the day is sunny, the optimum air temperature during the day is 21-23 degrees, if cloudy - 19-20 and 16-17 at night.

Cucumber variety "Zozulya" is planted in the greenhouse after May 15, when 3-4 leaves have already grown (20-25-day-old seedlings). It is necessary to transplant plants carefully, pulling them out along with an earthy clod and trying not to damage the roots. Seedlings must be evenly distributed so that there are 3-3, 3 plants per square meter. With proper care, it will be possible to enjoy the first cucumbers in 23-27 days. In the open ground - a little later. Do not be lazy to harvest on time, as overgrown fruits are no longer so tasty and have a bad effect on the future harvest.

In the spring, we really want vitamins that contain fresh vegetables, including Zozulya. Cucumbers, often imported, imported, unfortunately, fill our markets and shops even in summer, so it is difficult to be sure of the quality of the goods. Who knows what chemicalsused to grow marketable products, and how far has it traveled? And what Russian can imagine the summer heat without okroshka or a feast without pickles? And what about salads and many other dishes, where cucumbers are far from the last place? Aren't country cares worth crunching on freshly picked cucumbers from the garden or recycling them?
