Description of the variety

Cucumber Siberian bouquet F1 refers to medium-growing hybrids. The bush grows between 50-150 cm in height. With proper care, regular watering, a large number of flowers are formed on each cucumber bush, and therefore, ovaries, forming bouquets of five pieces.

The ripening period is approximately 40-45 days.

Cucumbers of this variety are very rarely bitter, as a rule, they are juicy, crispy and dense. These cucumbers can be used in salads, served with sliced ​​vegetables, or canned.

If all the conditions for care are met, up to 30 kg of cucumbers can be removed from one square meter.

Growing features

If you do not follow the basic rules for caring for cucumbers of this variety, you can not even dream of a rich harvest. The plant simply will not be able to "feed" all the formed numerous ovaries - most of the fruits will dry out before reaching their full size.

Let's take a look at the main points of growing cucumbers of the Siberian bouquet F1 variety:

• Planting seeds for seedlings is carried out in April, in extreme cases - in early May. If the seeds are planted in open ground, this is done in the first or second decade of May. You should also take into account the weather conditions of the region.

On a note: already on the 45th day from planting the seeds, the first greens appear. This variety bears fruit for a long time. For example, the first crop is harvested in July and the last in September. A real find for the gardener!

• Seedlings are planted like this: two plants per 1m². On an open bed, you can double the number of bushes for the same area.
• On the beds, it is advisable to make aisles with a large amount of humus, harvested in the fall.
• In the middle lane and to the north, cultivation in greenhouse conditions is recommended.
• Fertilizing is very important, it increases yields and improves the taste of cucumbers. The first feeding is necessary immediately after the appearance of the first leaf, then fertilize after the formation of the second. We count 3 weeks and carry out the third feeding. You can choose complex fertilizers sold in any specialty store.
• Abundant watering of the bushes is the key to successful cultivation and productivity. If the region is hot cucumbers are watered twice a week. If the weather is cool, once is enough.
• A barrel with fermented herb infusion is placed in a greenhouse with cucumbers. Thus, a large amount of carbon dioxide is released, and yields are increased.
• Weeding and loosening are carried out as needed.By the way, some gardeners cover the soil around the cucumbers with hay after the first weeding. This keeps the ground moist and the weeds grow much slower.
• Grown cucumbers are harvested every other day or even every day - depending on ripening. Overgrowths should not be allowed to form: they inhibit the formation of new ovaries, take away extra strength from the plant.
• Tapestries are a prerequisite (the bushes will not be able to support the weight of the cucumbers on their own). For these purposes, pillars are installed, and a wire is pulled between them. A grid is already attached to it, on which whips with cucumbers are distributed.

If all growing conditions are met, you can get the promised yield. Long-awaited bouquets of ovaries will grow on the bushes - the same as in advertising pictures and photographs.

Karina: “I bought this variety, believing the description on the bag. However, the harvest did not turn out as we would like. There are only 3-4 green leaves on one node, while the ripe fruits are not pimpled, as in the picture, but smooth, like Zozulya. These are not suitable for winter preparations. "

Ivan Arkadievich: “I got the F1 Siberian bouquet by mistake. In general, I did not regret it - the variety is no worse than others, and somewhere better. The harvest came out rich, and it was enough just to eat with the whole family, and for conservation. "
