May pickles. Early Harvest Rules

Finding out when to plant seedlings of cucumbers in May - June 2018 in open ground, depending on the region, it should be understood that seedlings should have no more than 30 days from the moment of germination.

Cucumber seedlings in May - June 2018: when and how

it is better to plant seedlings and seeds of cucumbers

into open ground

To make it easier to identify favorable planting days and a Lunar sowing calendar for gardeners, gardeners and flower growers was compiled for May and June 2018.

Even ancient people noticed the influence of the phases of the moon on the growth and development of plants. Since then, people have been making their landings according to the lunar calendar.

Cucumber transplant into open ground should be done only during the growing moon, preferably closer to the new moon. Days that take place lunar eclipses sowing cucumbers for seedlings is highly discouraged.

Same way big influence cucumbers are affected by what signs of the zodiac the moon passes through. Some of them are very fruitful for the growth of plants, while others are not so.

auspicious days for cucumber transplants according to the lunar calendar 2018:

• May - 4-6, 9-11, 18-24, 26-28.
• June - 1-3, 5-8, 10-12, 22-25.

How to determine the timing of planting cucumbers?

Open ground in the southern regions

Planting seedlings of cucumbers in open ground in the southern regions is possible already in mid-May. At this time, the earth is already warm enough and young seedlings are not in danger of freezing.

• Disembarkation can be done at May: 18th, 19th.

Open ground (without greenhouse shelters)
in central Russia and more northern regions

• Cucumbers are planted without greenhouse shelters, when the soil by the time the seedlings are planted on permanent place managed to warm up to at least + 15-18 degrees. For central Russia, the Moscow region, usually this is the end of May. Then the sowing of seeds should be carried out on April 27, 28, and planting - on May 24-28.
• The Leningrad region is characterized by cooler weather conditions than the Moscow region. Here the winter is longer, and the spring is long. Frosts often last until the second decade of May. It is advisable to plant seedlings of cucumbers in unprotected land at the end of May, and even better - at the beginning of June. Then here sowing can be done at the end of April and these will be the following dates: April 27, 28, 29, and May 1, 4, 5, 6, 9(on days not prohibited by the lunar calendar). drop off such a seedling can be at the end of May: 24-28, and also at the beginning of June: 1-2 and 6-7.
• If the regions are northern and open ground warms up late, and there is no possibility of greenhouse shelters, then sowing should be done in May 18, 19, a land into the ground before June 23, 24.

Timing correctly planting seedlings of cucumbers in the ground you will guarantee yourself excellent harvest in future.

If on none of these days you can find time to plant cucumbers in open ground, then we recommend that you do this on any day, avoiding strictly prohibited dates:

• These are the full moon and new moon days. In 2018, they fall on May 15 and 29, as well as on June 13 and 28. These days, try not to plant anything in open or closed ground (unless, of course, you believe in the power of the moon).

We report dates not prohibited by the lunar calendar for planting cucumbers May and June 2018:

• May 1, 4, 5, 6, 9, 2018
• 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 11 June 2018

When to plant cucumbers in open ground in 2018?

• You must find the answer to this question for yourself by following the recommendations from this article. Remember, the main thing to focus on is the weather.
• If the soil has not warmed up well, a cold snap or morning frosts are expected, then it is better to postpone planting.
• However, in anticipation of stable heat, try not to deviate much from the scheduled date, as overgrown seedlings are not well received.
• Whether to take into account the lunar calendar when landing is up to you.
• If you want to test it, plant as an experiment some of the seedlings on favorable days, and some on unfavorable ones.

For growing cucumbers in open ground, it is recommended to grow from 3 to 7 varieties at the same time on the same bed, and it is better if some of them are parthenocarpic, and some are bee-pollinated varieties. For some varieties, a particular season may be unfavorable, but other varieties will delight you with a rich harvest.

Planting cucumber seeds in the ground

• If cucumbers are grown by sowing seeds into the ground, then it should be carried out when the soil at a depth of 8-10 cm warms up to 12-13 ° C, and the air temperature is at least 15 ° C.
• In the Moscow region, this happens in late May - early June (oak leaves bloom, dandelions bloom, bird cherry blossoms, apple tree petals begin to crumble).

Auspicious days for planting cucumbers at the end of May: 24-28.

In June, planting cucumbers in open ground will be favorable:

• June 1-2, 2018
• June 6-7, 2018
• June 10-11, 2018
• June 14, 15, 21, 22, 2018

If we calculate crops for central Russia, then it should be understood that this region is very vast, and each specific region can be guided by the lunar calendar, but the main reference point, of course, is climatic conditions.

Similarly, the region of Siberia. It is impossible to give clear instructions on dates, since in one area it is already summer, and in another the land is just beginning to free itself from permafrost. However, in any case, seedlings will help buy time. If earlier the cultivation of cucumbers in some regions was out of the question, now, using ultra-early hybrids, getting a crop is not something unusual.

Bed preparation for planting cucumbers

Cucumbers give high yield only on soil rich in organic matter and mineral fertilizers. It is ideal to grow cucumbers on manure beds. To do this, a trench is dug in the fall with a depth of 35-40 cm and a width of 40 cm for the entire length of the beds, if it was not possible to do this work in the fall, then it can be done in the spring. In the spring, it is laid in a trench in a thick layer (30 cm.) cow dung, compacted, spilled with a hot 1% solution of potassium permanganate and closed with a film. After the manure warms up, it is poured from above soil mixture from peat, sawdust and humus. Again shed with a 1% solution of potassium permanganate and covered with a film before sowing or planting seedlings.

In the absence of a large amount of manure, you can equip compost beds. Shredded plant waste, leaves, garden debris, green grass, sawdust, shavings, you can add manure. A large number of green grass and leaves provide the best warm-up warm beds. The poured waste is compacted, spilled hot water or a solution of manganese, covered with a layer of soil, 20-25 cm. Ready bed cover with foil to warm up. The heating temperature of the compost bed is lower than that of the manure bed, therefore, sowing cucumbers or planting seedlings on such beds should be later than on manure beds.

Ground for ordinary beds may be of the following composition: 3 parts of peat, 3 parts of humus, 2 parts sod land, 1 part sawdust. The soil is brought into the greenhouse, beds are formed, leveled and scattered on top. mineral fertilizers: 20-30 grams of superphosphate, 15-20 grams ammonium nitrate and 20-25 grams of potassium chloride per 1 sq. meter, mix with soil and level with a rake.

The lunar calendar for sowing and planting cucumbers for 2019 is made in the form of two tables indicating the favorable terms of work for growing cucumbers in a greenhouse, greenhouse and in open ground. Calendar compiled for growing cucumbers in middle lane Russia.

The first table contains the sowing and planting dates for growing cucumbers in a greenhouse or greenhouse seedling way. The second table contains the timing of sowing and planting cucumbers through seedlings for open ground and favorable days for sowing directly into open ground.

The lunar calendar for 2019 indicates the days of work in the fertile signs of the zodiac. Sometimes the agrarian dates for sowing seeds and subsequent planting force sowing or planting during the waning moon. It is desirable to sow cucumbers on the growing moon, and it is permissible to transplant seedlings during the waning moon. In the lunar calendar, we indicate among the dates for sowing seeds the most favorable days that fall on the growing moon and the fertile zodiac sign.

Subsequent measures for the care and planting of cucumbers should be carried out focusing on the growth of plants. If the cucumbers are sown at the early dates according to the given lunar calendar, then the date of transplantation to a permanent place should also be the earliest among those indicated in the calendar.

Lunar calendar for growing cucumbers in a greenhouse or greenhouse

For growing cucumbers, we advise you to choose the most favorable days for sowing from those indicated in the lunar calendar table, because. these days fall on the growing moon. When sowing seeds on a windowsill, they will germinate in six to eight days.

The most best temperature air for seed germination and growing seedlings for planting in a greenhouse and greenhouse: in sunny days 20-25°С, on cloudy days 18-22°С and at night 16-18°С.

Lunar calendar for growing cucumbers in the open field

Cucumbers grown in open ground can be sown on seedlings or directly in open ground. If you will sow seeds in open ground, then choose from the days indicated in the second table, such a day that, according to the weather forecast, the last severe frosts fall on the first week from the date of sowing cucumbers. Experience shows that the most frost-resistant seeds sown dry, although they will sprout later. Soaked cucumber seeds, too, but slightly less frost-resistant and will sprout a little later. And germinated seeds will give the earliest shoots, but more often die during freezing. Cucumber seeds germinate about two weeks after the soil temperature reaches 15°C. When sown in warm ground seedlings of cucumbers may appear in six to eight days.

Any cucumber seeds germinate at temperatures above 12°C. Seed hardening promotes earlier seed germination.

Many summer residents sow cucumbers on their first spring visit to the country, sow the seeds in boxes or 8x8 pots and then water the seedlings every 7-10 days. Picking seedlings of cucumbers is not necessary. For an early abundant harvest, we advise you to provide seedlings of cucumbers with bright light for 6-8 hours and complete darkness for 12-14 hours.

Cucumber seedling one month old, which has 3-4 leaves, planted in a greenhouse, greenhouse or in open ground at the appropriate time, on favorable days according to the lunar calendar.

Cucumber seedlings are planted in the greenhouse when the temperature in the greenhouse is set at 15 ° C, but in order to reach the dates indicated in the first table, cucumbers can be planted at a temperature of 10 ° C, but not lower. Covering material allows you to increase the temperature by 5 ° C. Cucumber seedlings can be planted in a greenhouse at a temperature of 10-12 ° C.

Seedlings are planted in open ground, when average daily temperature will be set above 10 ° C, covering at night and on cold days with covering material (in Central Russia spring frosts may be before June 12). If in your area ground water located high, then sowing and planting cucumbers in the ground is better to move to the most late deadline so that the groundwater warms up and does not interfere with the formation of the ovary in cucumbers.

Apart from auspicious days According to the lunar calendar, we recommend planting cucumber seedlings on a cloudy day or in the late afternoon.

The best air temperature for cucumber growth before fruiting is 20-25°C on sunny days, 18-22°C on cloudy days and 16-18°C at night.

Three to four weeks after planting the seedlings, cucumbers will begin to bloom. Cucumbers form an ovary and fruits grow at temperatures above 15 ° C, therefore, with early sowing there is no need to rush into open ground. During the fruiting period of cucumbers optimum temperature on sunny days 25-27°С (not higher than 30°С), on cloudy days 22-24°С and at night 20-21°С. Cucumbers can be harvested a month after transplanting seedlings to a permanent place. Cucumbers are harvested daily or every other day.

The number of planting cucumbers for seedlings in 2018 depends on the region of residence and climatic conditions. Proper seeding determines the quality of the crop in the future. According to the moon phase calendar, it is easy to determine the best days for sowing planting material into the soil. Below you will find a lunar cucumber planting calendar for 2018.

Auspicious days for planting cucumbers according to the lunar calendar 2018

There is a lunar calendar for planting cucumber seeds in the soil. In it, based on the phases of the moon, you can see days favorable for agricultural work. There is an opinion that crops are planted on the growing moon, in which the fruits are located above the ground, and on the waning moon - underground. It is desirable to sow the seeds of cucumbers on the growing moon. But it is possible to transplant seedlings to a permanent place in a decreasing one.

Auspicious days for planting cucumber seeds in 2018 according to the moon position calendar:

1. The optimal time for landing in March: 10, 14, 19, 24, 25, 26th.
2. In April, it is preferable to choose the following dates: 17th, 18th, 22nd, 27th, 29th.
3. In May, seeds for seedlings are planted on the 18th, 19th, 24th, 25th, 26th.

The data is adjusted annually depending on the influence of the moon. You can familiarize yourself with the calendar for sowing cucumbers before planting. But whatever the timing and favorable numbers, you always need to be guided by the weather. If you plant seeds on a good day, but if it is still cold outside, then better job reschedule until it warms up.

How to choose good cucumber seeds?

First of all, if the gardener plans to use own seeds, it is desirable for him to purchase seed material of varietal, and not hybrid cucumbers. If the varietal seeds of the last year are preserved, they will sprout. But you just need to keep in mind that cucumber bushes will not give the same harvest. In this sense, it is better to use the material of the year before last. When buying material in a store, you need to carefully make sure that this variety or hybrid is suitable for your conditions, namely - temperature regime(presence / absence of a greenhouse) and the possibility sufficient watering. As always, the old rule applies: if you need to get stable yields, it is better to choose proven varieties. And for the experiment, you can plant and new material in a small amount.

Unfavorable days for planting cucumber seedlings in 2018

The moon calendar for planting cucumbers suggests the presence bad days when sowing is recommended to be postponed to another date. It also contains information about unsuccessful periods for the cultivation of seeds.

Bad days for growing cucumber seeds in 2018:

1. It is not advisable to plant crops in March on the 8th, 10th, 13th, 15th, 18th.
2. In April, unsuccessful dates will be 4, 5, 6, 14, 17, 19th.
3. In the last month of spring, such days will be 2, 4, 11, 12, 17, 26, 27th.
4. It is necessary to refrain from sowing planting material in June 2018 on the 4th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th.

On a waning moon, the planting of planting material leads to the fact that the harvest is meager, and the fruits are not the largest. The lunar calendar will help grow a rich harvest of cucumbers in the summer. But a successful result depends not only on the phases of the moon. Do not forget about caring for plants throughout the entire period of fruiting.

Seedling care according to the lunar calendar 2018

After the gardener was able to choose suitable date and plan your time accordingly, it is useful to remind once again what conditions for growing seedlings must be met. Running multiple simple tips helps to get very good harvest- at least 2 kg from each square meter of land. Here are the tips:

• The temperature of the soil and the surrounding air layer should be approximately + 18 ... + 20 ° C. Frosts below +14°C are unacceptable.
• Water abundantly - the soil should always be noticeably moist. At the same time, in the very first week, it is better to pre-defend the water (keep it all night at room temperature).
• The earth is periodically loosened to avoid caking and clumping.
• Expose the container with seedlings to open sunlight. And if there is a clear drawback in the natural rays, they are additionally illuminated with incandescent lamps for at least 10 hours a day.
• They are fed with a special complex fertilizer, which is intended for seedlings. The second portion is applied immediately after planting in open ground.

Care after planting cucumbers according to the lunar calendar 2018

In the first days after moving to open ground, seedlings should be shaded from direct sunlight and ensure high humidity soil for better rooting. To prevent the influence of cold, cultures are covered at night with any nonwoven fabric. Such shelter is removed after about two weeks. Watering of crops is carried out as the earthen coma dries up once a week, using up to 6 liters of liquid per square meter. During the flowering of the crop, the interval between waterings is halved. It is recommended to moisten the soil in the evening hours with water infused in the sun. You need to water the crops under the root using a watering can with a special sieve. Try not to get on the leaves of the plant, because droplets of water can cause burns. A day after each moistening, it is recommended to loosen the soil, which will prevent the formation of a dense crust. It is necessary to fluff up the earth with special care, because root system cultures has a surface laying. To prevent evaporation of moisture, and also as an obstacle to the growth of weeds, the site is covered with a thick layer of mulch from broken straw or peat.

When growing cucumbers in bags or barrels, it is necessary to tie the lashes of the culture to the supports, which will not only save usable space but also prevent the development of certain diseases. Plants begin to tie to the trellis after the appearance of 4 true leaves. Depending on the cultivation method, the lash garter is either vertical or horizontal. In the latter case, to hold the cucumber bushes, a special trellis is used in the form of a grid, which is securely fixed between the posts. All the gardener needs is to periodically throw lashes into the mesh cells. In the second case, it is used solid construction, in the form of the symbol P. It is made of several vertical supports, on the tops of which a wire is stretched. Ropes will be tied to it, fixing the stems of cucumbers. During the growth of the culture, the stems are captured with shreds of tissue and pulled to the wire. One more important procedure for the care of cucumbers is top dressing. Such activities are carried out up to 8 times during the growing season, using organic and mineral nutrients. The first time cucumbers are fed in the flowering phase, then every two weeks. The best top dressing counts organic solution mullein in a ratio of 1 to 10 with water or bird droppings in a ratio of 1 to 25. During irrigation, up to 6 liters of such fertilizer are used for each meter of usable area. Alternative option the destruction of superphosphate between the rows of plants with further embedding in the ground is considered.

Cucumbers are not at all laborious, but there are some nuances that every gardener who decides to plant this vegetable in his area simply needs to know. You can plant cucumbers both in a greenhouse and in open ground, both by planting seedlings, and by simply sowing seeds. Since cucumbers do not perceive the transplant very well, it is preferable to sow the crop with seeds immediately to a permanent place. In this case, it is more likely that all the seedlings will take root, and there will be no hassle with transplanting.

When to plant cucumbers in the open in the Moscow region, in Siberia, in the Urals

Cucumber is a crop that is very demanding on heat, so it cannot be planted in open ground too early. Seeds germinate at a soil temperature of 15-17 degrees; in cooler, moist soil, planting material simply rots. It is not difficult to check whether the time for sowing has come, it is enough to place an ordinary thermometer at a soil depth of 10 centimeters and wait 15 minutes. As for the specific dates for planting cucumbers, it is impossible to answer with accuracy, because everything depends on the weather. For example, in the Moscow region, usually in mid-late May, it is quite possible to sow seeds, but as for the north of Siberia and the Urals, it is not worth planting cucumbers in open ground in these regions, it is better to choose a greenhouse method, and even grow a crop better seedlings(The fact is that the short, cool summer that happens in these regions will not allow plants to form normally, and you can forget about the harvest altogether, since cucumbers stop growing at temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius).

Most gardeners prefer to plant many crops. It is believed that the time of flowering rowan - best period sowing seeds of cucumbers in open ground.

When to sow cucumbers with seeds in open ground according to

In 2017:

• in May - 4, 15, 19, 24, 25, 31;


• in June - 1, 2, 11, 16, 20.

• in May - 1, 8, 16, 28;


• in June - 7, 19, 27, 30.

It is worth noting that when growing, it is desirable to plant seedlings in open ground also on the days listed above. The work carried out these days will favorably affect the growth of crops, the quantity of the crop and its quality.

In general, many gardeners do not use the lunar calendar when planting plants, and at the same time annually collect an excellent harvest of certain crops. From this we can conclude that competent care is much more important than landing in accordance with such calendars.

Advice 2: When to sow cucumbers in 2018 according to the lunar calendar

Cucumbers are practically the most popular vegetables and are grown almost everywhere. As with planting any crop, for sowing cucumbers it is important to choose auspicious time. The lunar calendar will help gardeners in this matter.

Cucumbers are very thermophilic, and since in all corners of the country weather always different, it is very important to choose right time for planting cucumbers in open ground. Most gardeners and summer residents trust the lunar calendar, because the phases of the moon greatly affect plant growth.

As a rule, there are two ways to plant cucumbers:

• seedling - when cucumbers are planted in small bushes, having previously grown them in cups;
• seed - simply sticking the seeds of a plant into open ground or a greenhouse.

You can get a good harvest only by planting seedlings or seeds on time. Since the culture loves telpo, it is worth starting a landing only when the thermometer is set to 23-30 degrees of heat, and the soil will be warmed up to 20-25 degrees. If the temperature fluctuates and goes down to 10 degrees, then the growth of cucumbers may stop abruptly, and in the future the harvest will not be so plentiful.
