DASHA

Cucumber variety Dasha is an early-maturing hybrid intended for cultivation in open ground and plastic greenhouses. The vegetation period ranges from 38 to 52 days depending on growing conditions. The plant features a vigorous bush up to 2.5 meters tall with strong lateral branches, which are recommended to be tied to supports for easier care and improved fruiting. To increase yield, the main stem is pinched slightly above the trellis, and lateral shoots are pinched above the third node.

Fruits of cucumber Dasha have a cylindrical shape, length from 9 to 12 cm, and weight around 90-115 grams. The skin is dark green with longitudinal stripes and large bumps, giving the fruits an attractive appearance. The cucumbers have excellent taste and are suitable for fresh consumption as well as processing, including pickling.

The variety is characterized by high resistance to diseases, which simplifies care and makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Yield reaches 19 kg per square meter with proper care. Sowing seeds is recommended in May, with plastic covering used if necessary to protect against frosts in earlier periods.
