Can this cucumber not be planted in a greenhouse? For example, directly to the ground without film?
You can, I didn't have a greenhouse, I planted it under a film in the ground in May. Cucumbers Pyzhik tastes better if they are pollinated by bees or other insects. When I had a garden, I planted Pyzhik, Klavdia and two ordinary roots. All my relatives also grow these varieties. Cucumbers SEA! They begin to bear fruit very quickly, a lot at once. I have a large bucket of small cucumbers with 20 roots every day.
