* Cucumber on a net.
By nature, a cucumber is a liane. He loves space and sun...
Usually, those who grow cucumbers create a special trellis from twine or wire, along which the cucumber vines curl. Others simply hammer stakes into the ground among cucumber plants, to which the plants cling as they grow. If all this is not done, then, as the lashes grow, they fall on top of one another and become entangled.
Harvesting and caring for such plants can be very difficult. Recently, many gardeners have found a simple and original way to create comfortable conditions for both the plant and themselves. To do this, a nylon (volleyball-type) or wire mesh is stretched vertically along the rows of cucumber plants on stakes. Plants, growing, cling with their lashes to the mesh cells and thus create a green vertical carpet.
At the same time, all plant leaves receive enough light, are well-blown with air, and are less affected by powdery mildew.
And most importantly, the lashes do not break when picking the fruits. The fruits are easy and convenient to collect, and the yield is several times higher than with a conventional ground location.
Plants on a grid bear fruit 2-3 weeks longer, which is also important.
