Reviews about Balcony Miracle variety

Most of the gardeners who grew the Balcony Miracle variety were satisfied.

Margarita, 27:

“My acquaintance with this variety began 3 years ago. Then for the first time I tried cucumbers with my grandmother. I immediately liked the variety. I decided to plant in my dacha. The seedling sprouted quickly. When transplanted, she quickly got used to the new place and did not get sick. A few weeks later, the first cucumbers began to appear, which are more like gherkins. Not used for s alting, unless fresh. Delicious, juicy cucumbers, not bitter.”

Olga, 67:

“The neighbors praised the Balcony Miracle so much that they also decided to plant it in their garden. In winter, I tried to grow at home.The taste of cucumbers is pleasant, the pulp is fragrant. There is practically no difference between balcony and street cucumbers. But the yield was not up to the mark. I wish there were more cucumbers.”
