Imagine: the granddaughter breaks the cucumber from the bed, bites … And then it frowns – bitterly! Spits, throws it, and you stand and think: “Well, for what?!” But there was a way from the “perfect garden” channel on DZEN.RU (16+), it is he who returns the same taste to the cucumbers – sweet, crisp, summer. Now the granddaughter eats them right from the bush and crunches like it is apples!
The whole problem is not in varieties and not in the “bad earth”. The cucumbers are bitter when they feel bad: heat during the day, cold at night, dry, then floods sharply and that is why they distinguish Kurbitacin. And if you also water them with icy water from the hose, and under the hot sun, then do not wait for anything good.
It is only necessary to water cucumbers with warm water – at a temperature of 22 degrees, closer to the evening, when the sun no longer spits (5 – 6 hours). A spoonful of wood ash is added to the water – for potassium, because it helps the plants not to be freak out. The beds are mulched in grass or straw so that the roots do not overheat. And if bitter fruits came across, then they soak in salt water (on a liter – a tablespoon of salt) for a couple of hours.
For new landings, it is worth taking only proven varieties that are almost no bitter: “Masha F1”, “Goosebump F1”, “German”, “Kurazh”, “Zozul”. Everything is like a selection – tasty, sweet, and grow until the snow goes. And once again a week, the bushes need to be sprayed with a solution of boric acid (half a gram per bucket of water) with a spoonful of sugar.
