APPETIZING

Cucumber Appetizing F1 is a mid-early, bee-pollinated hybrid intended for accelerated cultivation in open ground, under plastic covers, and in greenhouses. Plants are predominantly female-flowering, which contributes to high yield and fruit quality. The cucumbers have a cylindrical shape, 11-12 cm long, bright green color with a finely ribbed surface and white pubescence. The fruits do not yellow and have juicy, crisp flesh without bitterness, making them suitable for fresh consumption and preservation.

For successful cultivation, seedlings should be sown in early May, followed by transplanting 20-day-old seedlings into the ground at the end of May to early June, when plants have three to four true leaves. Direct sowing into open ground at the end of May is also possible, in rows 1.5-2 cm deep with 50 cm spacing. After thinning, leave 3-4 plants per linear meter. Cucumbers require fertile, neutral, well-drained soils enriched with organic fertilizers.

To ensure good growth and abundant fruiting, timely watering, regular weeding, loosening, and mineral fertilization are required. The yield of this variety reaches 7-8 kg/m² in open ground and up to 14-15 kg/m² under plastic covers, making the hybrid Appetizing an excellent choice for gardeners seeking high-quality, flavorful cucumber harvests in a short time.
