Description of the Maryina Roshcha cucumber and recommendations for growing the variety

The Maryina Roshcha F1 cucumber is one of the best vegetables available in this segment. Experts recommend growing this variety both outdoors and indoors. This hybrid is an early-ripening variety. By growing these gherkins in a greenhouse, gardeners can harvest much earlier than if planting them outdoors.

What is the Maryina Roshcha cucumber?

Let's look at the description of the Maryina Roshcha variety. The yield of these cucumbers is impeccable: experienced farmers report that a single plant can yield a large number of ripe fruits, and greenhouse cucumbers produce significantly more fruit. It's important to understand that the Maryina Roshcha cucumber variety produces only female flowers.

Cucumbers are highly resilient to adverse environmental conditions. Gardeners can harvest ripe fruit from the bush throughout the season, with the fruiting period ending only with the first frost. This variety produces plants with fairly long vines, which can reach heights of over 2 meters.

The shoots produce a large number of lateral shoots, and the plant can bear fruit even at zero air temperatures. It is important to follow one of the rules for growing this variety: tying the main stem to pre-prepared supports.

Each plant node can develop five ovaries, and up to 12 ripe fruits can grow on a bush. All cucumbers are small in size, which is why they are called gherkins. The largest cucumber of this variety does not exceed 12 cm in length. The cucumbers are a soft green color and have thick skin, which is completely covered with small bumps and a white, slightly prickly fuzz.

Gardeners' reviews of this variety are positive. Ripe gherkins are versatile. They can be preserved for the winter, or eaten fresh, simply picked and washed. Their flavor remains the same, regardless of how they are prepared.

How to grow cucumbers?

If you're planning to grow cucumbers for sale or to give to relatives, don't be afraid to transport them long distances. Transporting them doesn't affect the appearance or taste of ripe cucumbers. Ripe cucumbers can also keep for quite a long time, especially if stored in a cool, dark place. Under these conditions, their shelf life can extend up to 3 months.

Maryina Roshcha is resistant to common diseases such as powdery mildew, olive spot, and cucumber mosaic virus. The plant tolerates root rot quite well, as it doesn't affect yield.

Let's consider the advantages and disadvantages of this variety. In addition to all of the above, the variety has a number of other positive qualities, including:

1. The ability to withstand even sudden changes in temperature.
2. Quite amicable ripening of a large number of fruits.
3. This variety can be planted in protected soil. Maryina Roshcha can also be grown on a windowsill, as it doesn't require bee pollination.
4. Cucumbers are versatile in cooking and can be pickled or marinated without losing their flavor.
5. Immunity to most common diseases.

Maryina Roshcha has virtually no drawbacks. The only drawback is the need to tie the plant to a support.

The Maryina Roshcha hybrid variety can be planted directly from seeds in the ground or from seedlings. The plant thrives best in loamy or sandy loam soils, i.e., in well-drained and aerated soil. Heavy soils should be fertilized with peat.

If you choose to grow cucumbers using seedlings, you should first sow the seeds in several peat pots. These will then be used to transplant the cucumbers to their permanent location. You should purchase a nutrient mixture from a store. Place the seeds in holes no deeper than 1.5 cm.
