Amateur reviews:

I try to grow this type of cucumber using a net. Once they sprout, I tie them to the grid and give them the right direction to grow. I drive large sticks into the ground, tie a rope to their end, and attach a net to the ropes. It is a pleasure and joy to take care of the "son-in-law": the fruits that he gives are visible to everyone, watering does not cause any worries. I have not formed plants, neither varietal nor hybrid, so when they are lying, they do not get enough heat and light. With the vertical method, the plants are ventilated very well and there are no problems with their diseases. Try it yourself, start experimenting.

Cucumber mother-in-law

Has not only a feminine appearance of flowering, but also is a fairly early ripening variety... Fruiting time after sunrise is 48 days. It can be grown both in the ground and in greenhouses.

Arranging seedlings of cucumbers is closer to the end of March or early April. It should be transplanted into the ground or greenhouse in early June, by which time it should have 4 leaves.

The final fruit size is 13 centimeters. Has about 4 ovaries per leaf and, there are thorns and tubercles on the skin. This variety of cucumbers is resistant to disease and cold, and can be eaten immediately after picking. It has a delicate, wonderful taste without bitterness.

Reviews of gardeners:

Cucumbers, mother-in-law, are rather unpretentious. They bear fruit better when you tie them up, that is, you give a neat direction for growth. I water it in moderation, because when you pour it, they curl, and when you don't add it, they turn yellow. And it is best to water the base, not the leaves.
