MY SCHEME FOR FORMING CUCUMBERS
How to collect cucumbers, peppers, eggplants longer and more? And you just need to cut off the excess, gardeners say, to be able to properly form plants.
This topic has been covered more than once, but there are always innovators who want to find out how they do it and what they get in the end?
SECOND LIFE IS PROVIDED
In our greenhouse, the cucumber is tied to twine and grows in height. In the first three axils of the leaves, I remove all ovaries and stepsons. Further, up to a plant height of 1 m, I cut off the stepchildren, and leave only the ovaries.
The cucumber grows further, I continue to "conjure" over it. When it passes a height of 1 m, in addition to the ovaries, I begin to leave stepchildren. But on the stepchildren I leave only 2 sinuses with leaves and ovaries, after which I pinch the top of the stepson.
WHAT DOES THE BUSH LOOK LIKE?
What does a mature plant look like? First, only leaves are located along the stem, then up to a height of 1 m - greens and leaves, then greens continue to develop on the central shoot, as well as on stepchildren in each sinus (two sinuses left!) The same cucumbers.
INHUMANE OPERATION
Now an important operation, at first glance, inhumane. When the fruits begin to ripen, I begin to expose the plant.
As the cucumbers ripen in each bosom, I cut off the leaf. That is, she harvested the entire crop in the bosom - cut off the leaf. And so I do with the leaves to the very top. After a month or two, the cucumber plant looks like this: from top to bottom, a bare stem without fruits and leaves.
CUCUMBERS CUT OFF, NOW WE REANIMATE
Now I'm going to the resuscitation stage. I carefully untie the cucumber whip from the twine, rake off the mulch, slightly loosen the soil under the plant and lay the bare stem on this soil with a ring.
The shoot can be lightly sprinkled on top of the earth, watered. It is not forbidden to add some kind of root growth preparation to the water. I cover again with mulch.
After a few days, roots begin to form on the stem, which lies on the ground. The plant is actively growing again and manages to give us a bunch of delicious greens this season.
NOTE: FIRST REMOVE UNMAPED
In pepper and eggplant, stepchildren should be removed to the first flower brush, so that the plants have enough strength to produce fruits, and do not go to the development of additional shoots. It is for this reason that the first fruit that ties on the plant cannot be overexposed, but must be plucked early, almost unripe. The first fruit on the plant produces substances that will not allow other ovaries to fully grow and develop.
The main thing in the formation of pepper is the removal of all stepchildren and yellowed leaves. Look at your pepper bush. There is a main stem, then it forks. And on each shoot it forks again, and so on.
On each branch, pinch the shoots, leaving 1-2 of the strongest ones (on the lower, first branch, leave 3-5 strong shoots).
MY ADVICE TO YOU
It is best to keep peppers and eggplants under the film all summer, opening only for airing and harvesting. Watering should be as needed. And at least 2 times a season, feed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Do not forget to loosen the ground after watering and rain.
When the bush forms 20-25 fruits (there may be fewer in cold summers), you need to pinch all the tops of the shoots. Thus, by mid-August, we should get fully formed and ripened fruits.

In May, the first Courage hybrid cucumbers grown in an unheated polycarbonate greenhouse ripen with me. I plant seedlings early and plant them in the greenhouse early.

My favorite vegetable is cucumber, I have been growing it for 50 years. I started with a small greenhouse, now there are several greenhouses in the country, one of which is “dedicated” to cucumbers. Over the years I have tried dozens of varieties, there were good luck and trouble. A few years ago, my friend moved to Siberia and sent in an envelope with a letter three seeds of Siberian garland cucumbers. The peculiarity of the variety is that the fruits hang on lashes, like garlands, of small size, there are many of them, they taste sweet. Plants tolerate cold nights, excess or lack of moisture. I myself come from the town of Kamensk-Uralsky, but I live in the Leningrad region. It seems to me that I have some kind of magical connection with Siberia, just like my cucumbers.
