Heippa vaan kaikille puutarhureille ja botanisteille! Kirjoitan tässä päivitystä avomaankurkusta (cucumis sativus) lajikkeeltaan 'Rhensk Druv' mitä olen tänä kesänä tarhannut (kuva 1) sekä sen sadottamisesta. Voin kertoa että löysin kertaheitolla lajikkeen mitä saatan viljellä tulevina vuosinakin. Siis, lajikkeen kurkut kasvavat tyypillisesti 5-15 cm jolloin ne poimitaan.

Lajike on myös valtavan kaunista katseltavaa sillä se kiipeää ja rönsyilee liaanin tavoin jos sillä on vain tilaa kasvaa ja avaa lukemattomia suurehkoja keltaisia hyvän tuoksuisia kukintoja, jotka vetävät puoleensa erityisesti mehiläisiä ja kimalaisia (kuva 2) sekä tuholaisista jonkin verran ilmeisesti
gammayökkösiä, ylipäätänsä siis yökkösiä, joidenka tuottama haitta on silloin tällöin syömäjälkiä omaavat lehdet. No, itse en moisesta paljoa kaunaa pidä, itse satohan ei tästä vahingoitu ja itse rakastan ja harrastan hyönteisten valokuvaamista. Tietenkin, jos tuholaisia ja niiden toukkia olisi enemmän niin tuho olisi tietenkin paljon laajempaa ja siihen olisi puututtava. Ensimmäinen 'kypsä' kurkku on valokuvattuna kuvassa 3. Kuten näkyy se on todella kookas ja oli myöskin hyvin painava kappale, mallikkaan näköinen ja maku ihastutti minut täysin. Nyt pensaassa on noin 10 kasvavaa kurkkua lisää.

En käyttänyt lajiketta suolakurkuiksi enkä myöskään
maustekurkuksi pikletöinyt (etikoinut), vaan otin suoraan käyttöön
tuokapöytään. Kurkun piikit tai karvat saa pois kevyesti harjaamalla
pehmeällä harjalla tai kädellä. Pensaassa on tulossa vieläkin useita
kurkkuja. Syy siihen miksi sanon 'kypsä' asiayhteydessä on se että kurkkua voi useimmiten käyttää melko alkuvaiheista saakka, kunhan on saanut vähän kokoa ja jos olisin odottanut vielä hetken niin koko olisi varmaankin vielä hieman kasvanut. Lajike on nopeakasvuinen, kaunis ja helppohoitoinen joten voin suositella sitä vasta-alkajillekin ja niille jotka haluavat hyvän ja satoisan kurkun. Lajike kasvaa minulla ruukussa parvekkeelle Helsingin ydinkeskustassa, kasvatin sen siemenestä ja taimet joita olen muille antanut ovat tuottaneet hyvää satoa talojen pihoillakin joten voisin sanoa että lajike on varsin vaatimaton kasvuolosuhteiden suhteen.

Hello to every gardener and botanist there! I write this update about cucumber (cucumis sativus) variety 'Rhensk Druv' which I have this summer grown ( kuva 1) and about making it produce. I can tell that I found at once the variety which I might be cultivating at the years to come. So, the varietys cucumbers grow to typically 5-15 cm and this is when they are picked.
Variety is also enourmously beautiful to watch since it climbs and branches like a liana if only it has enought space to grow and opens numerous large yellow good scenting flowers that draw especially bees and bumblebees ( kuva 2) towards and from the pests somewhat, it seems, Silver Y or generally owletmoths of whose caused
damage is just now and then caused eating tracks in leaves. Well, I do not hold much of grudge since the harvest itself doesn't get damage from that and I love photoshooting insects. Of course, if there would be more of the pests and their larvae then the damage would be more large and one would have interfere. The first 'ripe' cucumber is photographed in kuva 3. As you see, it was really large and was also heavy piece, model looking and taste enruptured me completelly. Now there is about 10 more cucumbers growing in the bush.
I did not use the variety as a salten cucumber ( which is prepared throught lactatic acid brewing ) or as a pickle ( throught vinegar) but took it directly to the foodtable. The spikes or hairs of cucumber one can remove easily by combing gently with soft brush or with hand. The bush has several cucumbers growing. The reason why I say 'ripe' in connection to the topic is due to the fact that cucumbers can be used from early maturity stages and if I would have waited for a moment still the cucumber would surely have grown still more. Variety is fast growing, beautiful and easy to care so I can recommend it from beginnger to those just want a good and productive cucumber. Variety grows, in my case, in a pot at balcony of nuclear centrum of Helsinki, I grew it from seed and the seedlings that I have given to others have produced good harvest at the lands of houses so I could say that the variety is pretty modest about its growing conditions.
