Cucumbers are one of the most common vegetable crops. To obtain an early harvest, gardeners set up greenhouses, for which the most suitable option is parthenocarpic hybrids (which do not require pollination). One of the modern popular varieties is Friendly Family cucumbers.

Characteristics of cucumbers of the Druzhnaya Semeyka variety

The variety was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 2003. It is recommended for cultivation in different climatic zones. It has become widespread on farms and in garden plots.

Description of cucumbers Friendly family

Indeterminate type of hybrid with unlimited growth of the main vine. Medium-sized bushes with medium-sized side shoots and short internodes. Wrinkled leaf blade of emerald color with wavy edges.

The variety does not require pollination by bees and produces predominantly female flowers. A bunched ovary is formed in the axils of the leaves. The axils of the main stem produce up to 4 ovaries, the side branches - up to 8.

Description of cucumber fruit Friendly family:

average sizes 10-12 cm;
weight up to 100 g;
cylindrical aligned shape;
green peel with white stripes;
small tubercles with white spines;
dense pulp without bitterness;
gherkin type.

Dahlias are funny guys - easy to grow

The classic gherkin “Merry Family f1” is supplied to the Russian seed market by agro. The hybrid is an early ripening one, which means the first cucumbers will appear on the bushes in 39-41 days. The characteristics of the variety make it possible to obtain a harvest in greenhouses and in ordinary beds.

The plant of the variety is a vine-like, branching, creeping stem. The color of the lashes is a rich dark green color. The arrangement of leaves is alternate, the leaf blades are large, pentagonal in shape, with spiny pubescence. The formation of lateral shoots is pronounced. The growth point of the hybrid does not mature on its own and the central lash can reach a length of 1.5-2 meters.

Externally, the vegetables of the “Merry Family” are typical gherkins. They do not grow more than 7-8 cm in length, do not overgrow and do not barrel. The average weight of cucumbers is 90-100 g. The surface of the skin is lumpy with white spines. The taste is aromatic, the flesh is crispy with a lot of juice, slightly sweet. The fruits are good for fresh summer salads, pickling, and snacks. After heat treatment they do not lose their shape and elasticity.

Vegetable growers who have had to grow “Merry Family f1” cucumbers note that the variety has no disadvantages. Based on the reviews, the culture meets all the stated characteristics of the originating company and has many advantages. Compared to other early varieties, “Merry Family f1” has abundant and long-term fruiting. And the fruits are tasty both fresh and canned.

Gherkin cucumbers have distinctive features from ordinary ones. The consistency of the pulp of mini-cucumbers is more elastic and dense. The same characteristics of the fruit are preserved during preservation. Therefore, gherkins are considered ideal for winter preparations.

The germination of the seeds is excellent; usually no soaking in preparations or germination is required: just place the seeds in moist soil to a depth of one and a half to two centimeters, and in a little less than a week they will sprout. Flowers tolerate picking well, but given that the sprouts are initially strong and tall, it is better to place them immediately in separate pots.

We have already figured out when to sow dahlias, funny guys: from March to the end of May. Young plants can be fed with regular fertilizers for seedlings - it is best if these are those preparations that promote rapid growth of the root system and inhibit stretching: “Krepysh” or something similar.

And now summer has come. You have already moved the dahlia bushes to the flowerbed, cheerful guys. Planting and care are usual. This type of dahlia is the most unpretentious, but like all flowering ones, it loves organic fertilizers. Do not forget to pick off faded buds in time so that the plant does not waste energy on seeds. Dahlias are funny guys, the photos of which you see, grow up to a meter in the first year. In the future they can grow up to one and a half meters.

Pros and cons of the variety

Cucumber Friendly Family F1 gives the first harvest in 45-48 days. According to the ripening period, the hybrid is classified as a mid-early type. The fruits of the variety are harvested at the gherkin stage. Zelentsy is used for preservation or eaten fresh. Productivity is at the level of the cucumber variety Sparta F1.

Characteristics and description

The cucumber variety “Friendly Family F1” is a hybrid and was specially bred for mass cultivation by farmers in open soil on farms.
If you need an easy-to-grow and unpretentious variety, it is perfect for growing in your summer cottage. The first harvest can be expected 50 days after planting. The variety is parthenocarpic (pollination by bees is not required). This variety is indeterminate (its stem is able to grow throughout the entire fruiting period). It has a very high yield - 10 kg/m². Able to bear fruit until the first frost. It does not require any care at all and is resistant to many cucumber diseases. The fruits grow cylindrical in shape up to 15 centimeters in length, the skin is green with white stripes, covered with tubercles and thorns. The cucumber is tasty, dense and without bitterness.

To get the harvest as early as possible, seedlings are grown. In April, the seeds are germinated and sown in separate containers (plastic cups or peat pots) with nutritious soil. The seeds are pre-soaked for swelling and the appearance of the embryonic root.

Choose a high-quality soil mixture; cucumber seedlings are highly susceptible to infection with fungal diseases. Water with warm water. Favorable temperature for growth is +20 degrees Celsius, at night at least +14 degrees Celsius. After 30 days, the plants are ready for planting in the ground.

For open ground, using “warm” beds is effective. To do this in the fall, you need to prepare the place, remove the top layer of soil (about 30 cm) and lay down fallen leaves and straw. During the process of decay of plant matter, heat is released. In the spring, the bed is raised by 20 cm. Thus, 50 cm is formed before the warm layer occurs, which is enough for the healthy development of the root system.

When preparing the soil, we use loosening additives: peat, coconut fiber, vermiculite. We apply mineral nitrogen-containing and potassium fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, superphosphates, ash). Plants are planted at a distance of at least 0.5 m and watered with warm water.

Landing Features

The Friendly Family F1 variety is grown in two ways. For the southern regions, the seedless method is suitable. Regions with an unstable climate or poor soils cultivate hybrid cucumbers using the seedling method.

Before sowing, the seeds are processed. Disinfect the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 2-3 hours. After drying, the cucumber seed material is placed in a saline solution. For further work, select the seeds that have sunk to the bottom of the container. To stimulate germination, treatment with growth stimulants is carried out.

Landing dates

For seedlings, cucumber seeds of the Druzhnaya Semeyka variety are planted 3-4 weeks before the planned transplant date. Sowing begins no earlier than the third decade of March. Plants are moved to the greenhouse from the second half of April.

When using a film cover or non-woven material on the site, sowing cucumbers for seedlings begins on April 10. Seed material is sown in open ground from late May to early June.

Site preparation

In spring, the soil on the ridge is spilled with boiling water and covered with film until the next day. After a day, the soil is dug up and leveled. The process is repeated three days later.

In the autumn-spring periods, the top soil layer is treated with a Fitosporin solution or Bordeaux mixture. Before digging the soil for the winter, add bleach.

Description of the scheme for applying fertilizers per 1 m² for cucumbers of the Friendly Family F1 variety:

10 kg of compost or 25 kg of manure;
15 g magnesium sulfate;
40 g superphosphate;
40 g of potassium sulfate.

Planting seeds

Seeds for growing as seedlings are placed in separate containers to a depth of 2 cm. Before germination, the cups are placed in a warm place. With the appearance of the first shoots, the temperature is lowered to +18 - +20°C.

The seedlings are placed in a well-lit place. Placing seedlings on a north or west window will require illumination with phytolamps.

When using high-quality soil mixture as a substrate for seedlings, fertilizing is not required. A few days before transplanting, cucumber plants of the Druzhnaya Semeyka variety are hardened off.

Planting seedlings

Transplantation of cucumber seedlings Friendly Family to a permanent place is carried out 25-30 days after planting the seeds. Young plants are transplanted into the greenhouse with the onset of stable warm weather.

Young bushes of the Druzhnaya Semeyka variety are transplanted into open ground beds in early June. The soil should warm up to +16°C. Low temperatures will lead to the death of the plant's root system.

Planting scheme

The crop yield is affected by the location of plants on the site. Close planting of bushes leads to competition between plants for food and lighting. No more than 2-3 seedlings are placed per 1 m² of bed. A distance of 40-50 cm is maintained between cucumber bushes. The row spacing is 70-90 cm.

Secrets of success in growing a hybrid variety

Care

The parthenocarpic cucumber variety Friendly Family F1 is grown mainly in greenhouses. The hybrid sets fruit without pollination. Large yields are obtained by observing air and soil humidity levels and timely application of fertilizers.

Watering

Cucumber bushes are watered with warm, settled water at the root. At moderate temperatures, the procedure is carried out once a week. As the air temperature rises, watering is carried out more often. Moisture deficiency leads to bitterness in fruits.

Heavy, clay soil does not need frequent watering. Light, sandy or sandy loam soils are irrigated often, but not abundantly.

Garter and bush formation

Crowding and lack of lighting reduce the yield of cucumbers of the Druzhnaya Semeyka variety. Forming and tying the vines reduces the risk of disease development and facilitates fruit harvesting.

Tying cucumbers is done simultaneously with planting seedlings in the ground. When sowing a variety with seeds directly into the soil, the procedure is performed when the plants reach 10 cm.

Top dressing

The period of return frosts is dangerous for cucumber seedlings. It helps to protect plants by placing mullein mixed with bird droppings in a circle around the trunk.

Young bushes are fed with complex fertilizers. The process is combined with evening watering. One plant consumes up to 2 liters. solution. Formed lashes prefer organic additives.

Hilling

The procedure stimulates root formation. Loosening and hilling saturate the soil with oxygen. Lateral roots grow. The plant absorbs more moisture and nutrients from the soil.

How to grow

The variety is grown in seedlings in greenhouses or in open ground under a film. This is a strong culture that is not afraid of cold weather, pests, or diseases. Gives an excellent harvest in any conditions.

They grow seedlings at home on the windowsill in special containers. Plant seeds in March or April.

If we talk about the characteristics of cultivation, it should be noted that this plant has its own requirements. If you follow them, you can improve the quality of the crop.

Before sowing seeds, they should be treated against fungus and infections. Earthlings must be too sour. After the first leaves peck, make a pick.

They are planted in the soil only when it warms up to 18 degrees. First, the soil is loosened, fertilized and watered. It is better to prepare the land in the fall. Plants should be planted, keeping a distance so that it is convenient to approach them, so that they do not interfere with each other’s development. The distance between the bushes should be about thirty centimeters. If grown correctly, the cheerful company of a friendly family will delight you with a bountiful harvest in greenhouses.

Diseases and parasites

The Friendly Family F1 variety is resistant to mosaic, olive spot and powdery mildew. To prevent the development of diseases on cucumbers, follow the watering rules. The bushes are regularly sprayed with fungicidal preparations.

Ascochyta blight

Description of the symptoms of the disease on cucumbers Friendly family:

the formation of gray spots on the foliage;
the appearance of black bodies of the fungus;
the formation of brown spots on the stems;
gum secretion.

Sick plants are treated with a solution of copper sulfate and urea. The greenhouse is disinfected annually.

Fusarium wilt

Mold destroys up to 50-60% of the crop. The first sign of the disease is the withering of the tops of the vines during the daytime.

Description of methods for combating fungal infection of cucumbers:

dressing seeds before planting;
ventilation of the greenhouse;
the use of chemicals at the first signs of illness.

Aphid

The pest multiplies massively from mid-summer. Green or black colonies are located on the underside of the leaf. Affected cucumber plants are sprayed with chemicals.

Disease resistance and growing characteristics

The hybrid has good stable resistance to major diseases and pests of cucumber crops. It is important to maintain a high agricultural background, systematically inspect the seedlings and be sure to carry out sanitary cleaning.

Attention!

If bushes heavily damaged by diseases or parasites are found, they must be dug up and destroyed.

The Friendly Family F1 variety is unpretentious and resistant to the formation of various pathologies for this plant crop, so cultivating cucumbers of this type is suitable even for inexperienced vegetable growers. Key points for plant growth:

Preparation of seeds and seedlings.
Soil preparation.
Full spacing between bushes.
Timely watering
Care and tying up of seedlings.

To plant seed or seedlings in the garden, you need to prepare the substrate - feed it and dig it up to enrich the soil with oxygen, make a hole with a diameter of 300-400 mm. The interval between holes must be at least 600 mm, otherwise the plants will interfere with each other. This interval is left when cultivating cucumbers horizontally.

If you plan to plant several rows, for example, in a greenhouse, the interval between grooves is 500 mm. Planting of pre-treated seed material is carried out in moist soil heated to 18 ° C to a depth of 20-30 mm.

The bed can be covered with PE; it helps to retain the heat accumulated by the soil during the day for a longer time at night, protects the plant from damage during rain, and also reduces moisture evaporation. During the day, PE is removed from the garden bed and returned at night.

Watering:

Traditionally, plants are moistened under the rhizome three times a week, depending on how dry the soil is.
Experts often argue about top watering, but most vegetable growers agree that if cucumbers are irrigated from above, then do it early in the morning or in the evening (with little sun activity).
Watering during the day can cause sunburn of the foliage.

Water needs to be warm or at room temperature. A lack of moisture will negatively affect the taste of greens.

Note!

Seedlings require careful care. First of all, the soil around the shoots must be systematically carefully loosened, and weeds must be removed.

Growing plants using the vertical growth method should be tied up. This will not only provide the cucumbers with access to the sun and make it easier to pinch shoots from the side, but will also simplify harvesting. And also, regardless of weather conditions, the harvest will remain clean, which cannot always be achieved with horizontal cultivation techniques.

Whether it is necessary to pinch cucumbers or not is up to the vegetable grower to decide, because there is no specific opinion on this matter, and many gardeners do not see any difference when picking cucumbers. However, companies involved in the packaging and sale of seed material indicate on the package not only a description of the varietal species, but also the technology for pinching the plant crop, if necessary.

Harvesting and storage

Regular harvesting of fruits prevents cucumbers from overgrowing. Untimely removal of gherkins from the stems retards the growth of new fruits.

Friendly Family cucumbers are plucked from the stem with pruning shears or cut with a knife. The stalks are left on the vine. The harvested crop is transferred to a cool room or shaded with woven material.

The Friendly Family variety bears fruit for a long time if agrotechnical practices are followed. The sweetish crunchy pulp of cucumbers makes the use of the vegetable universal.

Planting cucumbers for seedlings and in open ground

Many experienced gardeners believe that it is possible to plant cucumber seeds directly into beds or greenhouses. But some still adhere to the seedling method. What your choice will be is up to you.

Prepared seeds, in the seedling method, are placed in special soil to a depth of no more than 3 centimeters, with the sprout facing up. If you skipped the pre-germination time, you can plant 2 seeds in one hole.

When the sprout grows 4 centimeters in length, it is better to plant the plants in cups. Many people use special peat pots or eggshells. In these cases, there is no need to remove the seedlings from the “pots”. True, in the case of shells, you will have to make a hole at the bottom for the roots to come out.

The optimal temperature for normal germination and growth is 25 degrees Celsius. When 2 or more true leaves appear on each bush, the seedlings can be transplanted into the ground, according to the instructions on the seed package. But before this it is necessary to carry out hardening. Namely, a week before the intended planting, you need to move them to a cool room (16 degrees Celsius). This process will help the seedlings quickly adapt to new growth conditions in a greenhouse or open ground.

Reviews about the variety are mostly positive. “Friendly Family” is praised for its stable yield, excellent taste of fruits and good disease resistance. It is noted that the hybrid produces a large number of marketable fruits even without additional fertilizing.

IMPORTANT: The crop should be harvested regularly. The fruits can be picked at the stage of pickles (3-5 cm) or gherkins (10-12 cm). Overgrowth of greens leads to barreling and loss of taste.

Hello, dear gardeners! Hybrid cucumbers of domestic selection are often not inferior, and in some ways even superior to foreign novelties. This is exactly what the Friendly Family F1 cucumber is – early, productive and easy to care for. A cucumber with a cheerful name has been on sale for quite a long time, and has managed to win the hearts of many summer residents.

Agree, the original names of cucumbers always attract attention, and if they also delight you with a good harvest, then such vegetables have no price. The mid-early parthenocarpic Friendly Family F1 was bred by breeders of famous agro, recommended for growing both in beds and under shelters.

The plant is powerful, medium-branched, and its growth type is classified as an indeterminate hybrid. On a strong stem, many side shoots are formed, medium-sized leaves, rich green in color.

In the axils of the main stem there can be up to 3-4 ovaries, on the lateral branches there are more, up to 6-7 ovaries. A hybrid of predominantly female flowering type, does not require pollination by insects. Feels great in open ridges, produces high yields in greenhouses of any type (film, polycarbonate).

The greens are cylindrical in shape, beautiful, aligned. They have dense, tuberous skin, green color with longitudinal whitish stripes. They grow up to 10 cm in length, have white spines and frequent pubescence (see photo).

The pulp has a pleasant taste, juicy, without bitterness. These cucumbers are good fresh, but the flavor is most fully revealed in pickling and marinades. Those who have already grown this hybrid note in their reviews that gherkins (fruits 3-5 cm) turn out to be especially tasty when preserved.

IMPORTANT! Greens of the Friendly Family can outgrow, so it is necessary to regularly harvest during the period of mass yield of fruits.

If you follow all the rules of agricultural technology, you can collect up to 10-11 kg of delicious greens from one square meter.

The most important “advantage” of this hybrid is its high yield, and it is successfully grown in the south, in the regions of the European North, and in the middle zone.

It is resistant to many diseases that affect cucumbers, and even during real epidemics in a greenhouse or in the beds it is rarely affected by infections. The cucumber is not demanding on care, although it needs good nutrition. But this is understandable; nevertheless, such a number of fruits on a bush must be provided with plenty of nutrients.

The advantages also include:

the ability to grow a hybrid under shelters, as well as in open ground;
versatility (suitable for salads, and also good for pickling, pickling and canning);
does not require pollination.

Among the disadvantages we highlight:

high cost of seed material;
inability to collect your own seeds;
If harvested irregularly, the greens will outgrow and lose their marketable appearance.

It has already been noted that this hybrid is unpretentious, but certain rules for its cultivation must be followed.

Choosing a bed

Cucumber is a lover of sun and warmth, so the garden bed should be well lit and protected from the winds. High yields are obtained on loose, nutritious soils, which are prepared in the fall. Sandy loam and organic-rich soil will be an ideal place for growing a hybrid.

IMPORTANT! Acidic soils are improved using ash, chalk or dolomite flour.

In the fall, fertilizers are applied: manure, compost, superphosphate.

There are no special techniques here; the main thing is to calculate the sowing time and provide the seedlings with good conditions and care. Typically, hybrid seeds do not require pre-sowing treatment and are immediately sown in pots.

Sowing dates are calculated based on the climatic conditions of the area. Cucumbers can be planted in a permanent place when the soil warms up to 16...18ºC, and the seedlings should have 3-4 true leaves.

The seedlings are watered throughout the entire growing period and fed if necessary (you can use complex fertilizer or diluted mullein).

The planting scheme for cucumber of the Friendly Family variety must be strictly observed, the distance between plants is at least 70 cm. If the cucumber is grown on a trellis, then the distance can be reduced to 50 cm.

Further standard care:

watering;
neat loosening;
weeding;
fertilizing

Cucumbers are water drinkers, but you must remember that you need to water the plants only with warm and settled water, avoiding moisture getting on the leaves, ovaries and fruits.

Watering is usually done every three to four days, during the fruiting period and in hot weather - every other day. It is better to do this in the first half of the day, when water is better absorbed into the soil. After watering, be sure to loosen the soil to prevent crust formation.

Growing this hybrid on trellises gives good results. To do this, even before planting the seedlings, you need to prepare stands with tensioned wire, so that the plant can then send out its stems and shoots along the trellis.

Hybrids need feeding, and they respond especially well to the addition of organic matter.

IMPORTANT! Do not apply too high doses of fertilizers at once. It is better to feed in smaller doses, but more often.

Fertilizing is carried out once a week or once every ten days, focusing on the condition of the plants. Complex fertilizers are used: nitrophoska, Kemira, Mortar. Suitable organics:

mullein infusion (1:10);
infusion of bird droppings (1:20).

It is also good to feed cucumbers with herbal infusions with the addition of wood ash.

During the fruiting period, the greens are removed every day. This allows other fruits to ripen faster, and cucumbers do not outgrow.

Characteristics of cucumbers of the Druzhnaya Semeyka variety

The variety was included in the State Register of the Russian Federation in 2003. It is recommended for cultivation in different climatic zones. It has become widespread on farms and in garden plots.

Cucumber Friendly Family F1 has a medium-early ripening period and begins to bear fruit on days 43-45 after the shoots appear. The bush of the plant is medium-sized, with medium weaving.

Indeterminate – unlimited growth, thanks to which it can bear fruit for a long time. Belongs to the beam type.

This means that several ovaries are formed in the leaf axil at once: on the main stem - 2-4, on the lateral ones - 6-8.

The variety is intended for cultivation in closed ground, where there is a problem with pollination of flowers. Parthenocarpics do not require bees. Although gardeners have experience growing these cucumbers in open ground.

Water the cucumbers with warm water (25°C) at the root 2-3 times a week (drip watering is an excellent option). Do not allow the soil to dry out and water to stagnate. After watering, loosening is carried out and weeds are destroyed. It is combined with fertilizing with organic and inorganic fertilizers.

To obtain high yields, tying and pinching are carried out in a timely manner. The wire for tying the bushes is pulled at a height of 1.8-2 m. Twine is tied to it, and the plants under 2-3 leaves are secured with a free loop, preventing them from being crushed.

After reaching the 8-9 leaf phase, they begin to form a bush. New shoots are pinched off at the lower internodes. The side pagons located above are pinched at the level of 2-3 leaves. The central stem is pinched after it has grown to the trellis wire and is fixed there.

Timely collection of greens stimulates the formation and development of ovaries.

Conclusion

Confusion arose in the network of specialized seed stores with the name of the hybrid cucumber Friendly Family F1.

On seed packets you can see very conflicting information about the characteristics of the vegetable. The description indicates different ripening periods: mid-early, early, super-early.

Pollination methods are also defined differently: not only parthenocarpic, but also self-pollinating and bee-pollinated.

When growing cucumbers on their plot, many vegetable growers strive to get harvests as early as possible. Therefore, they often plant this vegetable crop in greenhouses or greenhouses, but in closed ground it is easiest to grow only parthenocarpic-type cucumbers, which do not require pollination.

Cucumbers are also grown in greenhouse conditions in those regions of Russia where summers are short and cold. This article will talk about the cucumber hybrid Friendly Family f1, the main characteristics of this vegetable plant, the nuances of cultivation, the main advantages and disadvantages of the variety.

When breeding this hybrid, breeders set themselves the task of obtaining a plant that does not require pollination by bees, is not demanding on growing conditions, and has a high yield. And as a result, the developed Friendly Family variety has all the above qualities, and it received its name due to the friendly ripening of a large number of greens.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of the hybrid “Friendly FamilyF1”:

Resistance to temperature changes and flaws in agricultural technology;
Relatively early maturation;
Self-pollinating;
Unpretentiousness to the soil;
Excellent commercial quality of fruits;
Low cost of seeds.

Among the disadvantages inherent in this cucumber:

Not the highest yield;
Inability to grow in the second whorl;
The need to harvest regularly to avoid overgrowing the fruit.

Characteristics and description

This variety is indeterminate (its stem is able to grow throughout the entire fruiting period). It has a very high yield - 10 kg/m². Able to bear fruit until the first frost. It does not require any care at all and is resistant to many cucumber diseases. The fruits grow cylindrical in shape up to 15 centimeters in length, the skin is green with white stripes, covered with tubercles and thorns. The cucumber is tasty, dense and without bitterness.

Growing methods

The hybrid can be grown by seedlings or directly planted seeds in the garden bed. Sowing in the ground is carried out after the soil has warmed up to +15…+18°C. The planting is carried out in holes prepared in advance, located at a distance of 50-60 cm from each other.

With the trellis growing method, a distance of 20 cm is allowed between plants. 4-5 seeds are placed in each hole to a depth of 1-2 cm, covered with film to create a greenhouse effect.

Water the crops every 5 days with warm water. Further care of the crop involves implementing a system of agrotechnical measures.

When cultivating by seedling method, the seeds are placed in peat pots with a soil mixture

For seedlings to appear, it is important to ensure an air temperature of +13...+15°C; the optimal temperature for crop development should be +25...+30°C. After the formation of 3-5 leaves, the seedlings are transferred to a permanent place. Cultivation on a trellis simplifies plant care and fruit harvesting

With this method, stakes are installed in place of the bed, to which the slats are attached. The height of the trellises can be 0.5-1 m. When using low supports, the stems are thrown over the rail, and the lashes are tied to the high fastenings with twine

Cultivation on a trellis simplifies plant care and fruit harvesting. With this method, stakes are installed in place of the bed, to which the slats are attached. The height of the trellises can be 0.5-1 m. When using low supports, the stems are thrown over the rail, and the lashes are tied to the high fastenings with twine.

Growing in barrels involves using a container that is filled with rotted manure and grass. Mulch the top with a layer of soil and water well with warm water.

For 1 container, sow 5-6 dry seeds in a circle and cover with film. Growing lashes will hang down like hanging plants. The main advantage of this method is the early ripening of the crop and minimal care.
