I'll teach you to grow sweet, juicy cucumbers
The cucumber is a regular on the summer table. Actually, it's not hard to eat cucumbers that you're growing. A few key points, whether on the balcony or in the garden, can be fully harvested。
It's..
I. Growing: building the foundations for more growth
1. Timing
Cucumbers like warm, afraid of frost. The most appropriate growth temperature is 15°c ~30°c。
• spring: end of march ~ may, the golden period for planting
• autumn: july-august, one more sown
Drumbing and seeding
Small techniques for increasing the growth rate:
1. Seeds immersed 4-6 hours with hot water
Wet towels wrapped in warmth
The seed can be sowed after about 1-2 days of `white'
When seed is planted, the seeds are flat, about a centimetre of the ground, water is poured out and the soil is kept wet but water is not accumulated。
3. Deplantation shizuku
When saplings grow three to four real leaves, they move. The cucumber roots are shallow, with large leaves, and need to defusing fertile soil:
• flower basin: large basins of 30 cm or more in diameter, one pot
• cropland: 30-40 cm
4. Roast chickens
When it's 20 cm or so, it's ready to set up the chicken, so the vine can grow up. It's better to ventilate, it's more straight and it's less ill。

Ii. The verblems: “green control, rejection of pests”
Cucumbers are easy to find aphids, white lice, frost and powder. Prevention takes precedence over treatment。
Physical control (most secure)
• hanging of cedars: use of aphids, white-coloured yellowing to bind pests
:: vegetable baskets: guacamole packs to prevent tinkles
2. Homemade and environmentally friendly medicine
If you find a few aphids, try pepper garlic:
Garlic + dry pepper shredded, immersed for 24 hours, filtered and sprayed the back of the leaf for three days, with clear results。
3. Reasonable use of medicines
If the infestation is severe, note:
:: cucumber flowering periods are pesticide-sensitive and safe for use before or after flowering
:: prevention of disease: the application of protective microbicides (e. G., dyson manganese zinc) before continuous rainfall
:: insect treatment: selection of low-toxic pesticides (e. G., aphids), strict compliance with safety intervals, 7-10 days after spraying

Iii. Strengthening: if you have to cut, you can get a lot closer
Many people don't want to cut their leaves, but the main reason for the cucumber's illness is the lack of air。
1. Bottom leaf
When the vine grows to about 1 metre high, it cuts off the old, yellow and sick leaves within 30 cm of the ground。
Benefits: reduction of disease and concentration of nutrients for the upper fruit
2. Removal of side branches (main chickens)
Most of the cucumber species are the main cranberries:
• the sprouts of the armpits, with the preservation of 1 to 2 leaves, or direct removal
• avoiding the excessive length of the side branches, which affect the growth of the main cranberry fruit
Roast chicken (extended outcome period)
When the vines are full, they can remove the lower leaves and lightly decipher the ground so that the top can continue to grow and extend the outcome period。

Iv. Fertilizer water management: less food and more food
The cucumbers are fat, but afraid of “bumping”。
Water
• principle: wet and dry
• watering in the summer, avoiding noon
• uneven water can easily lead to “big head” or “suffering melon”
Fertilizing
• bottom fat: decomposition chicken dung, goat dung or pie fat
• fat pursuit: once a guacamole starts, every fruit picks, every fat chases
:: can be served by thinning of decomposition rice or compound fertilizer to thin water
