Reviews

Elena, 35 years old: I can come to the cottage only at the end of the week, on weekends, so I have to select varieties that are undemanding to water. I chose the Aristocrat, because I know that cucumbers will live quietly for several days without watering. Cucumbers begin to ripen early - I prepare salads all summer, and enough to prepare preservation for the winter.
