A good day to sow cucumber seeds. When to plant cucumbers

Since ancient times, gardeners have chosen days for planting cucumbers according to the location of the main satellite of the Earth. Focusing on the lunar calendar, they annually plant, feed, weed plants. But not everyone knows how to sow cucumbers and care for them. For 2018, there are recommendations for growing vegetables.

It is generally accepted that the location of the satellite and its activity significantly affect the formation of fruits, nutrition, flowering and development of crops. It has been proven that the Moon affects all living organisms, including humans. With improper planting, it is difficult to achieve a quality crop.

In the northern regions, seedlings are moved to the ridges in May. In order not to make a mistake with planting cucumbers, you need to familiarize yourself with the lunar cycles.

With a growing moon, attention is paid to the lower part of the stem and roots, with a waning - aboveground organs plants. In the latter case, you can water and feed the vegetable, but it is not recommended to transplant it.

The main rule of landing according to the lunar calendar is to strictly follow all its rules. For example, it is categorically not allowed to sow plants on the full moon or neighboring days.

The full moon and new moon account for the most rapid growth of cucumbers, roots, and stems. In the third phase, actively developing root system, in the fourth - the outer part of the plant. The most favorable periods for planting seedlings occur during the transition from one phase to another.

With a belated planting of cucumbers, the harvest will be poor. As a result of too early planting, seedlings can get sick, and their leaves can wither.

How to sow cucumbers in 2018

On a favorable day, according to the lunar calendar, the seeds are soaked and lowered into the ground. Then it will be strong healthy seedlings and then tasty fruits.

The months suitable for sowing vegetables are March and April, or rather, the following dates: March 19-24, 27 and 18, March 5-9, April 20-24.

Planting material on these days is placed in special containers.

planting time for cucumbers open ground and greenhouse

Dates garden work associated not only with moon phases, but also the weather in the region, the variety of seeds, their properties. If the soil is not warmed up, at night there is subzero temperature or snowing, it is better to postpone the landing. In the ground at a depth of 10 cm, it should be +13 degrees, and in the air +16, so that the seedlings can develop.

On some days, the procedure is best done in the evening or vice versa in the morning.

Cucumbers should be planted in open ground later than in greenhouses. It is necessary to wait until the soil warms up.

Favorable dates for planting cucumbers in May 2018 are 18, 24-28, in June - 14, 15, 21 and 22. They are suitable for planting young plants on ridges or in a greenhouse. In June, early-ripening heat-loving varieties are planted, which adapt well and at the end of summer will delight summer residents with a bountiful harvest.

The first watering and top dressing are carried out before planting and 10 days after it.

In order for the yield to be high, seedlings are placed only in fertile, pre-prepared soil. It is properly watered, loosened, protected from harmful insects follow other care instructions.

Unfavorable days for garden work with cucumbers

There are times when you can not sow and plant a vegetable. Otherwise, it will die and will not produce quality fruits. If it is not possible to plant cucumbers on favorable days, you need to do it on any other dates, be sure to avoid unwanted dates.

• April 4-6, 14-16;
• 2-3, 7-8, May 15

You should always pay attention to these numbers, since they differ in the most negative influence Moon on the growth and development of plants.

When to plant seedlings of early varieties

In Ukraine or in the southern regions of Russia, it is better to transplant from April 15 to May 1, and in the middle lane - from May 1 to May 15.

When to plant seedlings of medium varieties

Plants planted in the soil must be covered with transparent polyethylene or Lutrasil, as the weather at the end of spring is unstable, and the temperature can drop sharply. Shelter is removed no earlier than June 5-10, when frosts no longer threaten crops.

If the gardener is going to use his seeds as material for future landing, it is advisable for him to buy varietal, not hybrid cucumbers.

The grains that have been preserved from last year will definitely germinate. But you need to understand that new bushes will not give the same harvest as the previous ones. If the task is set in this way, it is better to use the material from the year before last.

When buying seeds of a variety or hybrid, you need to make sure that it is suitable for the conditions of the area, namely, the level of temperature and humidity. The basic rule does not change: for bountiful harvest choose proven varieties, and as an experiment, you can plant a few new products.

Having studied the days that are suitable for planting cucumbers in May, you can draw up a sowing calendar and, following its recommendations, harvest a decent harvest.

The lunar calendar is a great way to determine the most suitable period for working on suburban area. Depending on what stage the moon is in, you can carry out various activities: weeding, feeding or harvesting.

The waxing moon has a positive effect on the development of the crop; it is not recommended to plant plants on the waning moon. There is a time when it is strictly forbidden to plant cucumbers. These days fall on the location of the moon in such signs of the zodiac as Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Leo. During this period, the moon is able to influence the germination of seeds.

The best days are:

• March: 2-3, 6-7, 29-30 numbers (in the first decade of March, it is worth sowing seedlings only in the southern regions or for growing cucumbers in greenhouses);
• April: 1-3, 11-13;

bad days

Asking for help lunar calendar it is possible to determine unfavorable days for landing. This time is recommended to be avoided and it is desirable to postpone the work associated with the landing to a later period. Unfortunately, the lunar calendar often does not coincide with the gardener's personal calendar, and you may not find time to plant a plant exactly in the allotted period. However, there are days that are definitely better to avoid so as not to harm the crop.

• March: 4, 5, 25, 26, 31;
• April: 10, 21, 22, 26, 29.
• May: 20, 24, 29.

When to plant seedlings in the ground

To start planting seedlings of cucumbers in open ground, it is necessary to observe the appropriate sowing dates. The best time is April-May. The appropriate timing depends on many factors:

• from the variety of culture;
• seed germination;
• climatic conditions;
• selected area;
• soil fertility.

Seedlings are planted in open ground, provided that the night temperature is within +5 degrees. On average, this occurs in the month of April.

The timing of sowing should be given special attention. When planted early, seedlings can stretch out a lot and be weakened. Late planting is also undesirable, the seedlings will not have time to gain strength by the right moment.

It is necessary to plant seedlings in the ground after the formation of several true leaves.
Also, the sowing time can be determined by folk omens: at mass flowering dandelions.

Care after landing

In order to obtain a high yield of cucumbers, you must carefully consider the cultivation of crops. The main crop care is as follows: watering, top dressing, garter, whip formation, pest and disease control.

Watering

Culture prefers constant watering, it must be carried out in a timely manner and with high quality.
A special need for moisture is manifested during the period of active fruiting. During this period, watering should be carried out daily. With insufficient soil moisture, cucumbers will be bitter and grow disproportionately.

However, care must also be taken with watering. There are days when the Moon falls under the influence of zodiac signs such as Libra and Gemini. During this period, it is recommended to refuse watering.

Favorable days for feeding cucumbers

For the entire period of development, cucumbers need to be fed about 5 times. For the first time, top dressing is carried out when several true leaves are formed. The second is necessary during the flowering period. Subsequent top dressing is needed during the formation of ovaries and mass fruiting. The frequency of feeding is once every two weeks.

Most optimal days for this event:

• March: 19-21, 23-28;
• April: 12, 13, 19-23;
• June: 8, 9;
• July: 3-5, 21, 24;
• August: 3-4, 12.

Planted cucumbers must be mulched. This procedure is carried out after weeding. As a mulch, cut grass, sawdust, humus are perfect.

Weeding also plays important role in the care of culture. It consists in the destruction of weeds.

Formation of cucumbers

For this event, you should choose a period when the moon is waning. According to the calendar, this falls on the following dates:

• April:19-20 ;
• May: 16-17, 23-24;
• June: 13-14, 20-21;
• July: 10, 11, 17.

Control of diseases and pests

In order for the harvest to be of high quality, it is necessary to carry out the fight against diseases and pests in a timely manner. Best result from spraying can be obtained if the activities are carried out in optimal timing.

A rich harvest can be obtained if the appropriate cultivation technology is followed and measures are taken in a timely manner to further care. In order for all caring procedures to bring maximum benefit, you should seek help from the lunar calendar. So it will turn out to increase the crop yield several times, and, accordingly, to collect more high yield.

Cucumber is a thermophilic plant. Therefore, the first thing for a gardener is to choose the optimal time for sowing cucumbers for seedlings or immediately into the ground. There are no uniform rules and sowing dates, just as it is impossible to specify exactly what the ideal cucumber day will be for proper fit this culture. It all depends on the region, on the weather in this area. And yet, there are general recommendations Knowing when to plant cucumbers and when not to plant them can increase your chances of a good harvest.

When to plant cucumbers: the necessary conditions for planting

When growing cucumbers, two methods can be used - planting on seedlings and planting directly in the ground. In the first case, cucumbers are sown with seeds, in the second they are planted on permanent place seedlings. Methods are good only when the soil is warmed up to the right temperature. It is believed that the minimum warming of the earth should be at least 15 degrees, otherwise the seedlings and seeds will not survive or stop developing.

To grow perfectly even cucumbers, you need to sow them on time.

Of course, 15 degrees for the vegetation of a heat-loving cucumber is clearly not enough, but the daily spring increase in air temperature is taken into account. If the weather is not happy, you can save seedlings or seeds by making small greenhouse from arcs and covering the beds with a film or non-woven covering material.

Important! Warming up to 15 degrees should be at night!

Landing times may vary by region. So, in the southern regions of Russia, April is suitable for planting, and gardeners in the central part of the country plant cucumbers in the ground around the middle or end of May, while Europeans can plant cucumbers as early as early May. Landing again, to remove the second crop, falls on June-July, with such terms, you can have time to grow the crop again until October.

It should be borne in mind that both seeds and seedlings need to be planted in open ground at about the same time. What exactly to choose depends on the preferences of the gardener himself. However, there is no significant difference. After all, the sown seeds give very fast shoots - already on the second or third day, the seeds soaked before planting hatch and throw out the first shoots. Further, under favorable weather conditions, cucumbers gain green mass and planted with seeds quickly catch up with their seedling "brothers".

Shoots grow and develop very quickly.

One more required condition when planting cucumbers - looseness of the soil. It is very important to prepare good, weed-free soil, fertile and capable of holding water. After all, cucumbers, in addition to being a heat-loving culture, also love moisture very much.

The choice of location is also important. Plants need light, sun, but they don't need wind. The ideal weather for them is when it is calm outside, the air temperature is about 25 degrees or a little higher, and at night the air warms up to 15 degrees or more.

Important! Even the smallest frosts lead to a stop in the development of cucumbers and the defeat of their diseases.

And of course they need good care. Despite the fact that the culture as a whole is quite unpretentious, care must be taken carefully and competently.

How to plant cucumbers according to the lunar calendar

Very often summer residents ask one question: when should cucumbers be planted according to the lunar calendar? This is indeed an urgent problem, because it has long been no secret to anyone that the Moon, being in its different phases, affects the life and development of all living things. Plants also react very strongly to its changes.

Taking into account the phases of the moon, sowing calendars-tables are compiled for a variety of horticultural plants, including cucumbers.

It is necessary to look at which is better to choose a planting day for this particular plant and taking into account regional characteristics, and most importantly, try to avoid days prohibited for sowing and planting. As a rule, these are the days when the full moon comes or when 12 hours have not passed before or after it.

In addition to days favorable and forbidden for planting, the lunar calendar helps to understand the peculiarities of plant development depending on lunar activity. So, the lunar phases also affect the growth of cucumbers:

• in the 1st phase, intensive growth of plant roots can be expected;
• in the 2nd phase, the above-ground, visible part of the cucumber seedling develops;
• in the 3rd phase, the root system grows again;
• The 4th phase is responsible for the growth of the aerial part.

The new moon and full moon fall on the first and second phases, during these periods the plants feel all the processes faster than in the 3rd and 4th phases. Thus, following this logic, one should try to sow seeds or plant seedlings at the moment when the night star begins to move from the first to the second phase or leaves the third to the fourth.

Plant care activities are best done taking into account lunar features. So, in the first and third phase the best time when you can plant cucumbers, water them and feed them. And in the second and fourth phases, it is good to do weeding and spraying.

Favorable days for planting cucumbers in May (calendar)

Planting calendar is compiled every year horticultural crops for the year and for each individual month. From it you can find out exactly when to plant cucumbers: in May or another month.

auspicious days for planting cucumbers last May 2018.

Auspicious days for planting cucumbers are marked in green, prohibited days are highlighted in red.

It should be remembered that the recommendations of the lunar calendar do not take into account the specifics of the weather conditions of each particular region. therefore, it is better if the gardener looks for a regionalized calendar for himself, in which dates are given taking into account local conditions. Or he will make an amendment to the climate of his region. So, the calendar of central Russia will differ significantly from the calendar of the southern regions.

Important! The main indicators are still air and ground temperature.

Basically, sowing and planting is carried out at the following times:

• in late April - early May, it is recommended to sow seeds and plant seedlings in a greenhouse;
• in mid-May - at the end of May, plant seeds in open ground;
• from the end of May to the beginning of June, seedlings can be planted in the ground and under a film in a greenhouse.

In areas with unstable weather conditions, the greenhouse must be kept all season

Planting a cucumber according to folk signs

Lunar calendars were invented not so long ago, but folk experience allows you to navigate with the time of landing. The so-called folk sign collects a generalized experience of observing the weather, which tells how ready the earth is to accept the seed, how the wind will behave and whether the sun will warm.

Of course, it is not worth relying entirely on folk signs, they are just a tribute to a bygone time and a guideline on how to correctly understand the world around us. Yet the wisdom of hundreds of years of observation of the weather is useful in planting. And in different regions people's ingenuity and wisdom are used in different ways.

There are certain days when it was customary to plant cucumbers. For example, in the regions of the Volga region, it is a common sign to plant cucumbers on Egoriev's Day. This is May 6, and for the Volgograd, Saratov, Voronezh regions, this day was quite suitable for sowing. However, in recent times the weather surprises with its unpredictability, and therefore the timing of sowing in open ground sometimes shifts, and very much.

It is interesting! The well-being and life of our ancestors very much depended on the results of their agricultural labor. Will not good harvest- there will be no food and feed for livestock. Therefore, the increase in productivity was achieved different ways. Sometimes completely surprising and incomprehensible to our contemporary.

So, they tried to hide a garden with cucumbers from someone else's eyes, they did not show the first cucumbers to outsiders, and they did not eat the very first cucumber, but buried it in the soil - such was a sign that promised a rich harvest. It was a kind of sacrifice brought to the patron of the cucumber business Falaley. By the way, there is even folk holiday- Falaley Borage Day, it's June 2nd. It is hard to believe, but in the Stavropol and Rostov villages, where gardening and farming are traditional crafts, such signs and beliefs can still be found to this day.

But if we discard superstition and turn to the popular sowing calendar, you can see a lot of interesting and useful. So, many believe that the sowing of any plants must be completed before the Trinity, after which the crops sown in the ground will no longer have time to go through all the stages of vegetation and will not produce a crop. Is this true when it comes to cucumbers?

Probably, there is some truth in this, but we must remember that, firstly, the Trinity is not in number, its date can fluctuate quite significantly, and therefore it is not very reasonable to focus on this time. Secondly, there are areas, especially the south of Russia, where they manage to harvest not one, but at least two crops of cucumbers. So there is time to plant, grow, and collect beautiful autumn cucumbers, especially if you plant them under greenhouse polycarbonate or greenhouse film.

Fact! Folk omens work well in some regions and fail in others.

Finally, from the time of birth, the climate, the varieties of cucumbers, and the cultivation technologies have changed so much that it is possible to fully follow the advice of a century ago, but with caution.

There is, however, another, religious component of the ban on sowing after the Trinity. The fact is that after this holiday, Orthodox Christians celebrated another significant religious holiday, called Spiritual Day. On this day, it was believed that people should bow and honor the earth, like a mother-nurse. And therefore plowing, loosening, doing something with it was still considered sacrilege. That's why it was customary in Russia to ban everything excavation on that day, and then carry out sowing in the future.

To grow such cucumbers, you have to work hard

Those days are long gone, but until now the opinion that it is impossible to plant crops after the Trinity lives among the population.

And yet, what holidays and significant days in the planting of cucumbers carries folk calendar? The first day of May to plant this crop was Job, May 19th.

• Planting on Job was considered a good thing, since the night was warm, and therefore the sprouted cucumbers should be sown directly in the garden, although for insurance it was recommended to cover the plantings with rags at night for several days.
• Isidor - aka Sidor, that was the name of another useful day for planting cucumbers. This is May 27, according to it they predicted the harvest. Clearly on Sidor - to be with cucumbers.
• Pakhomov's day fell on May 28, the most auspicious day, which was also popularly called Martha the borage. Together with cucumbers, this day was considered good for sowing flax and spring wheat.
• June 2, as mentioned above, was the day of Falaley, in different options- Philippa. Later, it was not advised to sow, as the August frosts could damage the development of the bushes. Moreover, when it rained on Falaley, it was a harbinger of the fact that the month would, on the contrary, be dry. And if a lot of cones are seen on a pine tree on Falaleev's day, this will be a sign of numerous cucumbers.
• There was also Leonty, he falls on June 5th. After it, they stopped planting in the ground, but if they landed on that day, then you could get a lot of the most delicious cucumbers. Our ancestors believed in it.
• August 17 is the day for Evdokia. By this time, they had not planted, but the harvest had already been harvested. The nights are getting colder, the mornings are damper, the harvest is ripe, and you can start preparing for the new season.

Summing up, it should be recalled that it is not recommended to plant and sow cucumbers on the days of the full moon and in the hours around it. It is not worth taking risks and rushing with sowing if warm and stable weather has not been established without night frosts.

In addition, you need to carefully monitor the time of planting seedlings.

On a note! Seedlings can outgrow very quickly, and then all efforts can go down the drain.

Overgrown seedlings become weakened, it takes time to recover after being transferred to a new place. The rule is this - after sowing, seedlings must be planted in the ground no later than 2-3 weeks later. The greenhouse, of course, must be prepared in advance.

Compliance with the terms of planting and planting cucumbers will help to grow excellent harvest Zelentsov.

Such simple recommendations will be useful in determining the most correct time for sowing seeds and planting seedlings in a greenhouse.

Cucumbers love warm weather, and since in different parts of our country heat comes to different time, then the timing for planting cucumbers is different everywhere. The longer the winter weather lasts, the later the soil warms up. In those regions where there is snow until May, you can not even remember planting cucumbers.

Cucumbers can be grown all year round. In summer they are grown in the open field in the garden, at their summer cottage, and in winter they can be successfully grown in a heated greenhouse.

Let's try to figure out when to plant cucumbers according to the lunar calendar in 2018. Usually cucumbers are planted in two ways: seedlings and immediately seeds in open ground. For planting cucumbers, it is important to choose a favorable day according to the lunar calendar.

You can get a high yield of cucumbers only when you sow seeds or plant seedlings on time and correctly. This crop is very sensitive to growing conditions: moisture, soil, soil nutrition, light supply, temperature regime air.

Cucumbers love medium and light loams with a neutral reaction. Optimum temperature for cultivation 25-30 ° C, the soil should be 20-25 ° C. If the air temperature drops to 10 ° C, then the growth of the plant stops.

Soils for growing cucumbers should be fertile, rich in humus. Well-warmed soils protected from winds. The area should be well lit.

Seeds for sowing are best chosen three years ago. Let the plants develop more slowly from them, but they give more female flowers. And usually they are more resistant to viruses and diseases. If you still use last year's seeds, then it is advisable to warm them up before sowing, you can do this by placing the seeds near the battery at a temperature of 35 ° C for two weeks.

At late crops seeds are used sprouted or swollen, if the crops are early, then the seeds can be used dry. It is better to plant dry seeds in a permanent place, that is, in a prepared bed, from May 25 to June 1, if the seeds are swollen, then the seeds can be planted on June 5 and do not use shelters.

If cucumbers are grown using seedlings, then we sow the seeds for seedlings on April 10-15 and plant them in the ground on May 10-15. The age of seedlings when planting in open ground under the film should be 20-25 days. If you grow seedlings for planting in open ground without shelter, then we sow seeds for seedlings on May 1-5 and plant them without shelter in the ground on June 5-10.

Seedlings are easy to grow in pots. It is good if these are film pots, since cucumber seeds grow better with a lack of air. Therefore, after the seeds are sown and watered, the pots are well covered with plastic wrap. As soon as shoots appear, they are opened and placed in a bright place. You can feed chicken manure or other fertilizers.

Section 2. How to sow

• Planting seeds in peat tablets or pots will avoid the need to dive seedlings and contribute to its more successful survival after transplanting to a permanent place.
• The substrate should contain soil, peat and possibly sand.
• In the bottom of the container with seedlings, it is necessary to make holes that will serve both for drainage and for air exchange.
• A self-composed substrate must be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate.
• Before germination, the container with planted cucumbers is covered with a film, and then the sprouts are provided with maximum access to sunlight and the absence of drafts.
• If the windows do not face south, it is important to provide seedlings of cucumbers additional lighting otherwise it will stretch out.

From the moment of germination to the harvest of the first harvest, at least 45 days pass, that is, if you plant seeds on May 20, you will see the first cucumbers on July 5. Thus, the most late deadline sowing seeds should be at the beginning of July. Sowing after this date does not make sense, cucumbers will die from frost, without having time to produce a crop.

With direct sowing in open ground, both dry seeds and pre-soaked seeds can be used. Whether it is necessary to soak cucumber seeds before planting or not, every vegetable grower has his own opinion on this matter.

After germination, excess plants are removed, leaving 2-3 cucumber roots in the hole. Thinning cucumbers begins after the appearance of a pair of true leaves, while unnecessary plants are best broken out, and not pulled out, this technique will help prevent unnecessary damage to the root system of the remaining cucumbers.
