These cucumbers are usually sown for seedlings in April-early May. The seedlings are transferred to open ground immediately after 3-4 leaves appear on them. Like most other varieties of cucumbers, the root system of Uncle Fedor is quite capricious. Therefore, it is better to plant seedlings of this variety not in boxes, but in peat pots.
