Cucumber seeds can germinate without sprouting, but the cucumber seeds directly sown grow slowly. It is recommended to put the seeds in warm water for a period of time when sowing cucumbers, then wrap the seeds with a soaked towel and put them into a bowl for sprouting. After the cucumber seeds are sprouted and exposed, they can be sown.
Cucumber is suitable for growing in a warm environment. It can be sown from April to May every year. During this period, the temperature is stable above 15 ℃, which can improve the germination rate of Cucumber after sowing. Note that the specific sowing time needs to be adjusted according to the local climate conditions.
Cucumber is suitable for growing in the soil rich in organic matter. When planting cucumber, it is necessary to plough 30-40 cm of land, remove the sundries and grass roots in the soil, and make the soil more soft and breathable. After that, it is necessary to add rotten cake fertilizer and organic fertilizer to the soil to improve the fertility of the soil.
After that, the sprouted cucumber seeds can be evenly spread on the seedbed, covered with 1-2 cm sandy loam and watered once. After planting, an arch shed should be built for the cucumber and covered with a layer of fresh-keeping film to keep it warm and moist.
