Ural Summer Cucumber Seeds, F1 'Fighter'
A Cucumber Variety That Fizzled
summarizeEditor's Summary
I was stoked to try the Boez F1 cucumber variety from Ural'skij dachnik, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. The seeds germinated super slow, and the resulting plants didn't match the picture on the packet. I was hoping for a reliable summer crop, but this variety was a total letdown. The price wasn't bad, but the lack of performance makes it hard to recommend. I'll stick to my tried-and-true favorites from now on.
