It takes about three weeks to care for seedlings (give or take a few days). Transplanting such young seedlings into the greenhouse soil is carried out in late May or early June. The plant should be in the four true leaf phase.
If you choose direct sowing of seeds directly into open ground, then this operation should also be planned for the border period between May and June.
The seed is immersed to a depth of 1.5–2 centimeters. The distance between adjacent furrows is half a meter. After the thinning procedure, no more than four plants remain per running meter.
What are the features of caring for Khabar cucumbers:
