Reviews gardeners

1. Konstantin Stepanovich, 56 years old: The first time I planted cucumbers of the Be healthy class in the country. All summer watered, fed, weeded. The harvest was just excellent. Cucumbers are all on the selection, almost all of the same size. Pickled several cans for the winter, the rest was eaten fresh. Scourge did not tie. It was a little uncomfortable to pick cucumbers, but still there were a lot of them. The bushes did not hurt, although I did not spray them with anything. Be sure to plant this variety next year.
