Complete bullshit, not the "Moscow Nights" sort! There are many flowers, but not a single ovary! Everything dries without even being tied! Or in a bag - not this variety slipped. On the next bed there is another variety - both flowers and ovaries - everything is there.
Veronica, you are probably out of luck with the seeds. For the fifth year I have been planting "Moscow evenings". One of my favorite varieties. There are a lot of cucumbers and are always even, slender, even if they grow over.
I have been planting it for 11 years - an excellent variety, both for food and for conservation.
