The most favorable varieties for open areas

The variety "Electron" differs from others with increased resistance to most diseases and long fruit bearing (until the end of autumn). The fruit appears early and grows very quickly both under the film and in the open soil, while giving the fruit an average weight of about 100 grams. Pretty pleasant to the taste. The bush cultivar is distinguished by its compactness and yields fruits up to 120 grams each, it is well suited for pickling and begins to bear fruit already on the fiftieth day from the moment of the first shoots.

Of the earlier, it should be noted "Murom 36". The time from seedlings to the appearance of the first crop is very minimal - about 36 days. Cucumbers rush very quickly, so they should be ripped off in about a day (otherwise they will start to turn yellow). Lightly salted cucumbers are already almost a day later. Cucumbers pollinators with the name "Competitive" can also boast of their early ripeness and great yield. They have large hummocky fruits, which are perfect for pickling. The weight of cucumbers can reach 130 grams (sometimes even more), the time to fructification is about 40 to 50 days. For the preparation of salads cucumbers of the grade "Graceful" will perfectly suit, since ripe fruits can be stored outdoors for a long time and have an attractive appearance, almost never turn yellow. Also, this variety has a finely hilly surface and high yields, the average weight of the cucumber can vary from 60 to 160 grams.

There are also kind of hybrid varieties. These include cucumbers varieties "Success 221", "VIR 505", "VIR 516" and others. "Success 221" has a good harvest, but can quickly turn yellow if it is not ripped off at a certain time. Excellent for pickles and marinovki. Hybrids of the "VIR" type have a peculiar taste aroma and are very unpretentious to the ground. Mostly they are used in various salads, but sometimes it is possible to pickle them.

An excellent solution for gardening can be considered the sowing of both early varieties and late ones so that during the whole summer they can provide themselves with this useful product for vitamins. In this case, do not forget about fertilizing the soil.
