An expert from the Union of Gardeners in Russia reveals the secret

Olga Voronova, an expert from the Union of Gardeners in Russia, explained why cucumbers can grow crooked.

The first reason why cucumbers grow crooked is insufficient pollination. The second is sudden stress, usually temperature. For example, it was warm, and then it suddenly got cold with rain and vice versa, says the expert in a comment for Moscow 24.

To protect yourself from temperature differences, it is necessary to cover the cucumbers at night. The same should be done in the conditions of rainy weather and sudden cold, explains Voronova.

To attract bees and other pollinators, you can plant carrots next to cucumbers. They should be placed near the beds or planted in a greenhouse.

The expert points out that you can plant parthenocarpic cucumbers that do not need pollination.

According to forecasters, August will be hot. This means that your vegetable garden will need to be watered regularly.
