Reviews of gardeners about the variety

1. Lyudmila Perepelitsina, 39 years old: No wonder the people say that everything is new, it’s a well-forgotten old. So I, following this principle, decided to try the old Vyaznikovsky 37 variety last season. I planted seedlings in May and sowed at the end of March. Prepared the beds, planted. Cucumbers began to grow well, nibbled at a height of half a meter. He began to branch strongly, so you need supports or trellis. I pulled on a special cucumber net. Cucumbers really liked her. And I liked the variety. Zelentsov are many, they are tied up constantly, tasty, only a few pieces are a bit bitter. They are good both in rolls and in salads. Yes, and just eat.
2. Sveta, 43 years old: I decided this year not to bathe with cucumbers. A neighbor gave seeds; Vyaznikovsky turned out to be 37. In early May, she made holes and just planted in the ground. 80% sprouted. I didn’t do the supports, and let me crawl along the bed. I just watered it and fed it once. But the result was quite normal. The main thing is to collect cucumbers on time. And then if they lie on the ground for a long time, the side turns yellow. And the taste is good. In general, a sort of hard worker!
