Reviews of summer residents of the hybrid

1. Elizaveta Dronova, 33 years old: Oh, this family! I bought it as soon as I saw a pack with a name. Just suitable for our "country" family. Plus, our domestic hybrid. Sowed seeds in early March at home on the windowsill in cups with peat. Together they prepared beds, and after three weeks they planted seedlings there. The bushes grew vigorous, strong. Tied them to the trellis. And how many cucumbers were covered up !!! Like bananas, hung in whole clusters. Very tasty, crispy, salad in salads. Yes, and in the sunset too. Now we have accepted this family for a long time in our own.
2. Natalia D., 39 years old: Very cool Russian hybrid! Thanks to Zedek for him. It is not the first year that our family has been pleased with high-quality, tasty, beautiful cucumbers. Even the bushes look beautiful - like cucumber palms with numerous bunches of fruits. Moreover, the yield is regular and high. I wanted to list more “smart terms” for the description, but I forgot. I will simply say that this cucumber is a bomb! I love this family very much. And now I even want to drop it off in my son’s built greenhouse.
