Reviews of summer residents of the hybrid

1. Alexandra Nefyodova, 33 years old: These guys are good! I have been planting this variety for the third year in a row. In the first season, something went wrong. Constantly someone gnawed the roots and the cucumbers lacked strength. But then the beds were well prepared. In the fall, they brought in a bucket of manure per square meter and scattered a tablespoon of azofoska. And after planting, each bush was shed by Aktara. And the picture has changed radically! Bushes grew cheerful, cheerful. There were a lot of cucumbers. They are strong, beautiful, very tasty and crispy. I roll it whole in bottles, cut it into salads, and I just like to crunch a cucumber, ripping it straight from the bush. Good grade. Just a godsend for summer residents. Already preparing cups for sowing seedlings. Soon a new season!
2. Gennady D., 38 years old: My wife and I sell fresh vegetables in the market. We especially focus on the early ones, when you can really make money on them. We trade and cucumbers. We grow them ourselves in a small greenhouse in the country. Usually we take for planting the seeds of proven, but expensive "Dutch". And last season we decided to support the domestic manufacturer! Planted the seeds of our hybrid, Funny guys. What can I say - not a bit disappointed. The hybrid is very early, productive, excellent product characteristics. Well, the cucumbers are very tasty. For the next season, they have now bought several packs of seeds.
