There is still time for sowing, but it is good to think about what to plant and where. You can also start buying seeds. In the case of cucumbers, you can consider both the purchase of snakes and the loaders, but it is also useful to consider the maturation time or whether they are early or late.

For cucumbers, the susceptibility to bitter is also extremely important.
