Characteristics of the variety
The hybrid is parthenocarpic, does not require pollination by insects, the flowers are of the female type. Cucumbers are the envy of everyone - high-yielding, early-ripening. Seeds do not form inside them, so the fruits do not turn yellow or overripe, which allows them to be transported and stored for a long time if appropriate conditions are created. It is not necessary to form a bush; branching is self-regulating. This procedure is carried out only to increase productivity.
Productivity
The growth type of the hybrid is bunched. This means that the plants have a well-developed main stem and less developed lateral stems. From three to six ovaries ripen in each node.The maximum yield of cucumbers, the envy of everyone, reaches 40 kg per 1 m2. The number of fruits collected depends on soil fertility, light, temperature, humidity, and quality of care.
Cucumbers are the envy of everyone and can be grown as a houseplant.
Ripening and flowering dates
After the growth of foliage and roots slows down, cucumbers, to the envy of everyone, begin to form buds. Flowering occurs 30-40 days after emergence. First, the buds bloom on the central stem, then on the lateral ones of the first and second order. On parthenocarpic varieties, ovaries are formed without pollination, together with flowers. After two weeks, the fruits reach technical ripeness and can be picked.
Resistance to diseases and pests
The cucumber variety, to the envy of everyone, has high immunity to most typical diseases of this crop. Bushes are rarely affected by powdery mildew, root rot, cucumber mosaic, and spotting. To maintain plant health, preventive measures are necessary:
- Compliance with planting deadlines and crop rotation.
- Use warm, settled water for irrigation.
- Maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels.
- Treatment of plants with biological products with fungicidal and bactericidal effects.
Among the most dangerous insects for cucumbers are aphids, whiteflies, ants, mole crickets, and slugs. To combat them, an integrated approach is used - in addition to biological products, folk remedies, plants with a repellent aroma, and traps are used.
Cucumbers are capable of accumulating poisons, so chemicals are used as a last resort and only over large areas.

Planting cucumbers is the envy of everyone
You can grow cucumbers to the envy of everyone using seeds or seedlings. The first method is simple and does not require much time, the second allows you to get the harvest 2-3 weeks earlier than usual. Each gardener chooses a method according to existing conditions or combines both.
Sowing in open ground
To sow cucumbers to the envy of everyone, choose an area well lit by the sun, protected from drafts and northern winds. The soil should be drained, not swampy, with neutral acidity. The site is dug up in the fall. A ridge is formed, at the bottom of which a drainage layer is laid to a depth of 40 cm - hay, straw, small branches. They are compacted and covered with manure on top. Cover with polyethylene until spring. In March, a layer of soil is removed and poured. They make a shelter again and leave it for ten days so that the soil warms up. As soon as the soil temperature reaches +15 ⁰С, sowing begins. Holes are made at a distance of 50 cm from each other and 30 cm between the rows. Each one is spilled with warm water and three cucumber seeds are put in. Everyone is the envy of them. Cover with a layer of soil 2-3 cm thick.Next, install a shelter made of arcs, non-woven material or polyethylene film. When seedlings appear, thinning is carried out - leaving one plant in the hole, removing the weakest or damaged ones.
After four true leaves are formed, the top is pinched to speed up fruiting.
After emergence of seedlings, the shelter is periodically opened for ventilation.
Seedling method
Sowing of cucumber seedlings, to the envy of everyone, is carried out from the third ten days of March to mid-April. To prepare the seeds, they are warmed up by immersing them in water for two hours at a temperature of 45-50 ⁰C. You can sort out empty and underdeveloped ones by immersing them in a saline solution. Only those that have sunk to the bottom are selected. They are washed and disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate (3%), garlic infusion or aloe juice. You can strengthen the immunity of future plants by soaking the seeds in a growth stimulator - Epine, Gummi.
Peat pots, plastic containers or glasses are filled with a soil mixture containing garden soil, humus, sand, peat, taken in equal parts. The soil is warmed up, watered and one seed is placed in each container, planted to a depth of 2 cm. Before the first shoots appear, the containers are covered and placed in a warm place (+25 ⁰C). When sprouts appear, transfer to a well-lit room with a temperature of +18 ⁰C.
Cucumbers are the envy of everyone and are ready for planting at the age of 27-35 days
The finished seedlings should be strong, have 5-6 true leaves and a distance of 5 cm from the root collar to the cotyledon.Planting is carried out in a greenhouse or open ground according to a 50x30 cm pattern.
Rules for caring for cucumbers The envy of everyone
The rules of agricultural technology for cucumbers are the envy of everyone, simple and understandable. They relate to watering, weeding, shaping, tying, and feeding bushes.
Watering
Moistening is carried out as needed, avoiding excess moisture in the soil so that the roots do not rot and pathogenic microflora does not develop. The optimal water temperature is +25 ⁰С. Drip irrigation is most preferable, the best time is morning or evening. Before the buds appear, use 1 liter of water every three days per plant. After the start of fruit formation, watering is carried out once every three days, spending 7 liters.
In the second half of fruiting, the hydration of cucumbers is reduced by half to the envy of everyone.
Loosening and mulching
The soil needs to be loosened at least once every ten days. When planting seeds, the operation is carried out only after germination, so as not to disturb the root system. At the same time as loosening, weeds are removed and the soil is mulched with sawdust and grass.
Pinching, tying
Cucumbers of the All Envy variety do not require pinching. Side shoots are pruned only to obtain additional yield. When grown vertically, plants are given reliable support and periodically tied up, preventing shoots from coming into contact with the soil.
Top dressing
The first time cucumbers are fed to the envy of everyone is two weeks after emergence. Add a solution of chicken manure infusion (1:15). The second time (at the time of flowering) they are fertilized with superphosphate (35 g per 10 liters of water). Then they are fed three times during fruiting, using urea (15 g per 10 liters of water).
Conclusion
Cucumbers are the envy of everyone, they are stress-resistant and can grow even in low light conditions. There are few other varieties that have similar properties. For this reason, the popularity of the hybrid among gardeners is growing, especially since this is not its only advantage.
