15 best varieties of cucumbers for the middle band

It would seem that in growing cucumbers is not complex. And this is true, but only if you approach it with a certain amount of knowledge. Including the ones that are best suited for growing in your area.

Variety of cucumbers counts!

First of all, you need to answer 3 questions:

— Where you intend to grow cucumbers in a hothouse, a greenhouse, outdoors or on the windowsill?

— When you want to harvest: in early June, July or August?

— How long you want to harvest cucumbers?

 





 

Thus, the early varieties of cucumbers are more susceptible to disease, and the period of fructification, in comparison with the later, much shorter. And, despite the fact that the division of cucumbers in early, middle and late very loosely, from answers to these 3 questions, for obvious reasons, and will depend on the choice of varieties.

Only properly chosen varieties not so terrible disease, which most often affects cucumbers in the middle band: this powdery mildew, downy mildew and bacteriosis, so the choice of varieties should pay special attention to their resistance to these diseases.

Not every variety of cucumber is suitable for pickling!

Another question: what exactly do you need the cucumber — eating fresh or pickling? Their grades on the assignment is divided into 3 groups: zasolochnye, salad, universal. Naturally, each of the varieties has its benefits, but to choose the best everyone has for himself depending on his needs and desires. For example, I always put half zasolochny varieties, and 25% lettuce, and universal.

When you are done with theory, move on to descriptions of the most popular in the Middle zone of cucumber varieties for greenhouses, open ground, shaded areas and home garden.
