What vegetables can’t be planted together with cucumbers (can different varieties of cucumbers be planted together)

Which vegetables should not be planted together with cucumbers?

Many vegetables are planted in the vegetable garden, such as climbing beans, cucumbers, loofahs, fruiting eggplants and tomatoes, as well as leafy vegetables such as leeks and Chinese cabbage.

Sometimes, some more are planted in the empty space, but some vegetables cannot grow well due to improper planting, and it is conceivable that diseases and insect pests will occur. In order to increase the yield, cucumbers cannot be planted together with other vegetables?

Understand the growth characteristics of cucumbers. Cucumbers can be planted in spring and summer every year. Seedlings start to be raised in April, and the harvest period is around mid-June and July. Then after pulling out the seedlings, another crop is sown, which is the autumn cucumber, and the harvest period is mid-September and October.

Cucumber is a climbing vegetable and the seedlings can grow to more than 2 meters high. During the vine-swinging period, a "human" frame should be built to provide a growing environment for the cucumber seedlings. The spacing should not be too dense, which will affect the fruit set rate.

It can be seen from this that cucumbers cannot be planted together with other climbing vegetables. It is best to plant them separately. This is not only conducive to harvesting, but also affects the pulling of vines. For example, if you plant them together with pumpkins, the pumpkin matures in October, and the cucumbers will pull out in July and cannot be removed from the racks.

Cucumbers cannot be mixed with leafy vegetables such as spinach, leeks, Chinese cabbage, lettuce, etc. Not only will it add trouble to management, but the cucumber vines will block the light of other leafy vegetables and create a poor ventilation environment.

Planting the two together is not conducive to the growth of leafy vegetables. Instead, it will cause them to become weaker and weaker as they grow. The yield of cucumber seedlings will also be reduced due to the lack of fertilizer for a long time .

Therefore, in order to increase the yield, you should plant it carefully and do not mix it with any other vegetables. Cucumbers like fertilizer and light, and they need to be topdressed during the growth period. Topdressing once every harvest can also maintain normal growth and promote high yield.

In addition, cucumbers are prone to diseases and pests during the growing period, such as vine blight and gray mold. In hot and humid seasons, viruses are easy to volatilize, and other chemical pesticides will be used during the prevention and control period. The leaves of other vegetables will be infected and their growth will be affected.

Can different cucumber varieties be grown together?

Different varieties of cucumbers can be planted together . Although they are different varieties, they will bloom and bear the same fruits.

We just planted cucumbers a few days ago. We planted green-heart cucumbers, yellow-heart cucumbers, and short cucumbers, and we planted them together.

Although they are different varieties, they grow together, so our family particularly likes to eat cucumbers.

However, if you plan to save seeds, it is best to artificially pollinate when flowering and fruiting, and do not plant different varieties of cucumbers together , because the fruit seeds produced by hybridization will have poor quality after sowing.
