Autumn cucumbers taste more like cucumbers. Now we plant a few cucumbers at home and have cucumbers to eat all autumn.

Autumn cucumbers are very popular because many people say that autumn cucumbers taste more like cucumbers, that is, the fragrance and crisp taste of cucumbers are better. In fact, the planting time of autumn cucumber is more suitable in July and August. If you miss the time to plant cucumbers in spring, it's not too late to plant cucumbers in autumn, and it tastes better.

The growth time of autumn cucumber is relatively short, and the yield is high. Here I would like to share with you some small questions about family planting autumn cucumbers.

Families grow autumn cucumbers

I have always liked the kind of big yard in my hometown in the countryside. The yard is big. If you plant some vegetables, you can eat for a long time, and you can pick them at any time, and the food is fresh. Of course, some autumn cucumbers can also be planted in the rural yard. If you live in a building without a yard, you can grow cucumbers in a flowerpot.

Planting autumn cucumbers at home is not as troublesome as in the field, and it is relatively easy to operate. You can go to a special vegetable seed store to buy cucumber seeds, and sometimes some markets that buy vegetables also sell that kind of cucumber seedlings.

After buying the seeds, because the germination rate of cucumber seeds is relatively high, it can be planted directly without accelerating germination. Then there is the soil problem. Cucumbers like fertilizer very much, and because the family planting space is limited, the soil must be fertile. You can find a larger flowerpot or foam box, fill it with some garden soil and humus, and then add some farm fertilizer, rotten chicken manure and cake fertilizer.

When planting, you don't have to bury the seeds too deep, just plant them shallowly. After planting, it will be able to sprout in about three days after pouring water. After all the cucumber seedlings have grown, we should pay attention to the timely intercropping. Keep some cucumber seedlings with good growth, and keep a certain growth space between cucumber seedlings. Watering melon seedlings in time, but also pay attention to avoid the occurrence of insect pests.

When the melon seedlings begin to grow tendrils, you can consider building shelves for the melon seedlings. My family because there are anti-theft window on the balcony, so directly let melon seedlings climb on the anti-theft window, you can also use a thin stick to build a herringbone shelf.

Usually pay attention to catching insects, usually two months to pick their own cucumbers.

The above comes from promoting agriculture through science.
