Last year's drought set the main condition for the search for new varieties of cucumbers. And she made me try the Korean parthenocarpik Aristocrat. For a greenhouse, he is a real find. This cucumber does not react to the dryness of the outside air. Even if you do not water for several days, an empty hollow in the middle of the fruit does not appear, and the pleasant taste and crunch does not deteriorate. It is more than resistant to all known cucumber diseases. But you cannot pinch the main lashes - the bulk of the crop ripens on them. Therefore, I urgently changed tactics and began to shorten the sides. For this, the Aristocrat thanked in full, allowing him to collect half a bucket of wonderful, even cucumbers from the bush.
