Cucumber is a fruit which can be planted anywhere as far there's water to keep it safe. Cucumber like to be planted where it'll be absorbing water directly from the soil. Cucumber that's planted in a rainy period and the one planted other periods has a different taste. A cucumber planted in rainy period usually gives the fruit enough water. With enough water and fresh seeds of a cucumber fruit, the taste is usually very sweet.
A farmer should be very much aware that any cucumber planted outside raining period usually has a sour tastes. The cucumber fruit usually has a kind of thick water inside its fruit. The thick water usually makes the cucumber fruit to be sour to the mouth.
The best period for a cucumber fruit to be planted remains in rainy period but it doesn't mean that every cucumber planted in rainy period will all be okay for harvesting. In planting cucumber, a farmer should be aware of the environment or farm land she's to farm. Cucumber may survive anywhere but the kind of treatment given to it matters.
When a cucumber is planted newly, the farmer should watch the colors of the leaves days from the germination stages. If after 10 to 14 days and the color of the cucumber leaf is not all that green that means the cucumber will not produce enough cucumber fruit and some may not even produce any. At such stage, the farmer can replant close to the root of the one that the color is not all that green.
Another thing that'll make a farmer have much cucumber and sweet one to harvest is by watching the cucumber fruit from the very first stage. A farmer should watch her cucumber farm to know when the fruit has started to come out. If after days and the fruit are becoming very big, the farmer should ensure that the fruits doesn't fall inside water or in an area where other plants are affecting it.
When a cucumber fruits is where it's affected the color of the fruit will not wait for much time to turn to yellow and that means that the cucumber is not for eating anymore. Any cucumber fruit that mistakenly falls inside water from its leaf will surely turn yellow. This is why a farmer should watch to know when to directs her cucumber plants to a good direction even before they start to bear fruits.
