The bush hybrid from Ural Summer Resident is suitable for fresh dishes, canning, pickling, and freezing.
Self-pollinating hybrids
Varieties of cucumbers that do not require pollination (i.e. parthenocarpic) can be successfully grown in closed beds in any region of the Urals. To extend the growing season of the plant, its seeds are first planted at home, and then the germinated seedlings are placed in greenhouses. This way, in a region with a short summer, you can harvest a decent harvest.
Marinda F1
A variety of cucumbers that has been successful among gardeners for more than 20 years. It is distinguished by good germination, short growing season, and unpretentiousness. It takes root in country greenhouses and in open ground (but then the yield is greatly reduced, 5-10 kg/sq. m versus the maximum 30).
The fruits weighing up to 80 g have an oval shape, dense and juicy pulp. They are stored for a long time. One of the disadvantages of this hybrid is its susceptibility to diseases such as angular spot, anthracnose, and perinospora.
Emerald Family F1
An early hybrid, popular among summer residents for its unpretentiousness, resistance to temperature changes and tolerance to many diseases. Fruits steadily, although not for long. The bush is vigorous, has a bouquet type of ovaries, 5 of them are formed. Cucumbers are large, dark in color, with stripes, 10-12 cm long.
The density is medium, the flesh is crispy, there is moderate sweetness. The hybrid is universal, suitable for salads and canning.
Herman F1
The German cucumber hybrid is extremely popular among summer residents and on farms. Grown in Russia since 2001. It is cultivated both in greenhouses and in open ground. Ripens early. An adult bush grows to medium size and stops growing on its own.
4-6 flowers are formed on bunched ovaries. Herman's greens are oval, medium-sized - up to 10 cm in diameter and 100 g in weight. The pulp has a sweetish taste. The vegetable is tolerant to cucumber diseases, but suffers from parasites. Well kept.
Courage F1
A high-yielding early ripening hybrid, whose amazing taste is its main advantage. Cucumbers are crunchy and have a pronounced aroma. They do not lose their taste after heat treatment.
Courage is suitable for industrial cultivation; outdoor yields reach 7 kg/sq. m, in greenhouses above. The bush is medium-sized, mass ripening occurs after 43 days, the harvest is harvested until September.
Cupid F1
Cold-resistant hybrid of Russian selection, resistant to low temperatures and diseases of cucumbers (rot, dew, etc.). Universal. Gherkins are suitable for salads, canning, and pickling.
On each bush, several green plants are formed, medium in size (up to 14 cm in length), and fruit abundantly. The shape of cucumbers is oval-elongated, the taste is without bitterness. Amur has proven itself in the cold regions of Russia. Vegetables ripen quickly and produce high yields, especially in greenhouse conditions.
Comparative table of these hybrids
Hybrid | Ripening time, days | Average fruit weight, g | Average yield in greenhouses, kg/sq. m | Disease resistance |
Marinda | 40-55 | 60-70 | 25-29 | spotted mosaic, scab, olive spot, cladosporiosis |
Emerald Family | 40-45 | 120-130 | 14-16 | olive spot, powdery mildew |
Hermann | 38-40 | 80-100 | 12-14 | cladosporiosis, mosaic, powdery mildew |
Courage | 35-45 | 120-140 | 6-9 | olive spot, mosaic, powdery mildew |
Amur | 35-38 | 90-120 | 25-28 | olive spot, mosaic, powdery mildew, root rot |
When choosing which variety to give preference, gardeners must take into account the climate in the region and plant cucumbers with a short growing season. In the Urals, both greenhouse varieties and crops for open ground take root. In the absence of a greenhouse, you need to select the most cold-resistant varieties that are not afraid of the harsh Ural summer and temperature changes.

Description of the hybrid
Perfection itself grows as an indeterminate bush, that is, the main vine develops throughout the warm period until frost. A large number of stepsons grow along its entire length. 3–6 cucumbers are tied in the axil of each leaf. The first ones appear 37–30 days after germination.
According to descriptions on the Ural Summer Resident website, greens grow up to 8–10 cm in length, their surface is covered with tubercles and white spines. But there are already several reviews of absolutely smooth fruits growing from seeds called Perfection Itself. Moreover, both lumpy and smooth cucumbers grow from the same bag, which indicates a mismatch.
From this series in 2015, I came across cucumbers called “Perfection itself” and some others. I planted 2 bags of 5 each in the greenhouse, 8 sprouted. I didn’t weigh the harvest, but I was tired of collecting and distributing to those who wanted it))). Both varieties looked and tasted very similar, only the size of the pimples differed - medium-sized and smaller. And in one of the packages there was a mismatched cucumber - on one plant the cucumbers were light green and absolutely smooth, apparently like salad cucumbers, and the skin was very tender. Later I tried to identify this variety from the description, but I couldn’t.

Seeds of the Ural summer resident called Perfection itself F1. The manufacturer promises that from each plant, with proper agricultural technology and care, you can harvest up to 400 good carichon-type cucumbers. This year I decided to buy such seeds... The cucumbers turned out smooth, it’s a shame, I wanted them just like in the picture

The good taste of cucumbers No one disputes the perfection itself, the flesh is dense, crispy, aromatic and sweet, never bitter. The purpose is universal: consumption in its natural form directly from the bush, preparation of salads, okroshka, pickles, canning.
The yield of the hybrid in its native region is 27–30 kg/m². In addition, Perfection itself does not suffer from powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic and olive spot. Resistant to changes in night and day temperatures.
Reviews from gardeners
This year I purchased cucumber seeds from the Ural Summer Resident Samo Perfection F1. I have never grown cucumbers like this before. I really liked them. The cucumbers are excellent, crispy, not overgrown and, most importantly, there are a lot of them. From one internode, 6 pieces grow at once. Extraordinary beauty.

Cucumber hybrid The manufacturer calls perfection itself superbundle. Cucumber does not show high yields in every region; it requires special care: sparse planting, formation without stepsons, increased watering and fertilizing.
The best varieties of cucumbers for the Urals
Cucumber Tufted splendor F1
This variety is distinguished by an abundant harvest, and it bears fruit until frost. It is not afraid of temperature changes, so it can be safely planted in lowlands where there is a sharp change in degrees. And cold fogs are not scary for this variety. It grows well in open ground even in the Urals. The fact that the variety is not afraid of cold weather allows it to be planted in the northern regions of the country.
Up to 10 greens can grow from one node - that’s how many ovaries are formed.

Cucumber “The envy of everyone F1”: description of the hybrid variety, photos and reviews
Do you know that:
“Frost-resistant” varieties of garden strawberries (more often simply “strawberries”) need shelter just as much as ordinary varieties (especially in those regions where there are snowless winters or frosts alternating with thaws). All strawberries have superficial roots. This means that without shelter they freeze to death. Sellers’ assurances that strawberries are “frost-resistant,” “winter-hardy,” “tolerates frosts down to −35 ℃,” etc. are deception. Gardeners must remember that no one has yet managed to change the root system of strawberries.
Both humus and compost are rightfully the basis of organic farming. Their presence in the soil significantly increases the yield and improves the taste of vegetables and fruits. They are very similar in properties and appearance, but they should not be confused. Humus is rotted manure or bird droppings. Compost is rotted organic remains of various origins (spoiled food from the kitchen, tops, weeds, thin twigs). Humus is considered a higher quality fertilizer; compost is more accessible.
Tomatoes have no natural protection against late blight. If late blight attacks, any tomatoes (and potatoes too) die, no matter what is said in the description of the varieties (“variety resistant to late blight” is just a marketing ploy).
Convenient Android applications have been developed to help gardeners and gardeners. First of all, these are sowing (lunar, flower, etc.) calendars, thematic magazines, and collections of useful tips. With their help, you can choose a day favorable for planting each type of plant, determine the timing of their ripening and harvest on time.
You need to collect medicinal flowers and inflorescences at the very beginning of the flowering period, when the content of nutrients in them is highest. Flowers are supposed to be picked by hand, tearing off the rough stalks. Dry the collected flowers and herbs, scattered in a thin layer, in a cool room at natural temperature without access to direct sunlight.
Natural toxins are found in many plants; Those grown in gardens and vegetable gardens are no exception. Thus, the seeds of apples, apricots, and peaches contain hydrocyanic acid, and the tops and peels of unripe nightshades (potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes) contain solanine. But do not be afraid: their number is too small.
Compost is rotted organic remains of various origins. How to do it? They put everything in a heap, hole or large box: kitchen scraps, tops of garden crops, weeds cut before flowering, thin twigs. All this is layered with phosphate rock, sometimes straw, earth or peat. (Some summer residents add special composting accelerators.) Cover with film. During the process of overheating, the pile is periodically turned or pierced to bring in fresh air. Typically, compost “ripens” for 2 years, but with modern additives it can be ready in one summer season.
One of the most convenient methods for preparing a harvest of vegetables, fruits and berries is freezing. Some believe that freezing causes the nutritional and health benefits of plant foods to be lost. As a result of the research, scientists have found that there is practically no decrease in nutritional value when frozen.
From varietal tomatoes you can get “your own” seeds for sowing next year (if you really like the variety). But it is useless to do this with hybrids: you will get seeds, but they will carry the hereditary material not of the plant from which they were taken, but of its numerous “ancestors”.
Varieties of Russian selection for open ground in the Urals
Cold-resistant varieties are divided into two groups: hybrids and high-yielding superbunch hybrids F1.
Hybrids for open ground
"Altai F1"
The variety is bee-pollinated, so open ground is preferable. Versatile. Very good for preservation.
Can be grown in open ground and in greenhouses. Early ripening. The scourge is one hundred and twenty centimeters long. Cucumbers are about ten centimeters and weigh eighty-five grams.
Seeds are planted in open ground or under film to a depth of one and a half to two centimeters. At the end of May, seedlings are planted. Plant density up to ten per square meter. Requires watering with warm water and fertilizing with nitrogenous fertilizers every ten days.
"White Sugar F1"
Up to 12 cm long, suitable for canning and salads. They look very beautiful and exotic in the garden beds.
Mid-season newly bred hybrid. Universal parthenocarpic. The fruits can no longer be called greens. They have a beautiful creamy white color.
Attention! In this variety, if the fruits are harvested irregularly, the yield decreases.
Seeds are sown for seedlings in early April at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Planted in the ground after the end of frost. Seeds are sown in open ground at the end of May to a depth of one to one and a half centimeters. The crops are covered with film. The number of plants is 12-14 per square meter. Requires watering with warm water and fertilizer twice a month.
"Ajax F1"
It is pollinated only by bees and for this reason is not suitable for greenhouses.
An early-ripening, high-yielding hybrid, excellent for industrial cultivation. When industrially grown on trellises in combination with fertilization and drip irrigation, it can produce up to a ton of cucumbers per hectare. Fruit weight 100 g.
It is better to plant seedlings in open ground. Planted in beds 0.6-0.7 m wide with a distance between plants of fifteen to twenty centimeters. Thanks to selection, the variety produces a moderate number of lateral shoots, so only the stepsons on the first two to three nodes are removed.
"Taganay F1"
It bears fruit on the thirty-seventh day after the sprouts appear. Fruits up to ten centimeters.
A new ultra-early ripening hybrid obtained through conventional selection. There are two or three ovaries in a knot. They are universal. Suitable for canning, pickling, making pickles or eating fresh.
Does not suffer from powdery mildew. It has an original property: it combines the characteristics of bunch and bush varieties. The stem branches strongly, restraining the growth of the main vine. For this reason, the hybrid is ideal for growing it spread out, that is, in a horizontal plane.
Super bunch varieties of hybrids
They are characterized by high yield due to the formation of many fruits in one node. They can produce up to four hundred fruits from one plant. Plant no more than two bushes per square meter so that the plants receive enough sunlight. Resistant to major cucumber diseases.
Attention! Daily harvesting is required. Unharvested fruits delay the formation of new ovaries and reduce productivity.
"Mels F1"
Cucumbers are not bitter, but the bush requires plenty of watering. Mels should not be planted too closely.
A very early ripening variety of cucumbers. From germination to the first cucumbers there are only thirty-six days. The length of the greens is up to ten centimeters, and each node has five to seven ovaries. Its planting pattern: square 0.7x0.7 m. Due to the abundance of fruits, harvesting must be done daily. Resistant to major diseases.
"Beam splendor F1"
Designed for growing in greenhouses. Fruiting until late autumn. It has the property of regulating the regrowth of side shoots when the main stem is loaded with a high yield.
Gherkin early ripening hybrid. Parthenocarpic variety. Forms bunches of three to five ovaries. Fruit size is 8-11 cm. Suitable for pickling.
Resistant to major diseases and low temperatures. Recommended for growing in northern regions. Well suited for areas located in lowlands.
"F1 perfection"
Ideal for preservation due to its dense pulp. The cucumbers turn out crispy.
An early ripening hybrid intended for greenhouses. There are three to six ovaries in bunches. The size of cucumbers is up to ten centimeters with abundant “pubescence”. The spines are not prickly.
It begins to bear fruit on the thirty-seventh day after germination. Productivity up to thirty kilograms per square meter.
In addition to disease resistance, it differs from other varieties in the absence of bitterness even when grown in an unfavorable environment. For this reason, it is very good in fresh salads.
“Everyone is the envy of F1”
Very popular among gardeners. Can be planted in open ground, greenhouses or greenhouses.
A hybrid variety that fully justifies the pretentious name. It grows well in the shade, which makes it possible to grow it indoors. Early ripening. Cucumbers up to twelve centimeters long with three to six ovaries per node. Excellent for pickling.
Branching is genetically self-regulated. Yields are consistently high. If agricultural techniques are followed, there is no bitterness.
Seeds for seedlings are planted in the last week of March - the first week of April. Seedlings are transferred to the soil only in heated soil with a guaranteed absence of frost. Cover from cold weather with film or non-woven material.
The seeds are sown immediately into the ground in warmed soil to a depth of one and a half to two centimeters with a planting pattern of 0.6x0.15 m.
The disadvantages of this variety include the inability to collect seeds for further cultivation and the relative high cost of seed material in stores.
"Siberian Garland F1"
The variety is distinguished by a very large number of cucumbers hanging on vines like light bulbs on a New Year's garland.
Small, five- to eight-centimeter cucumbers are ideal for pickling. The pulp is firm, without voids inside. The hybrid is one of the most shade-loving, so it is necessary to provide it with protection from direct sunlight. In the heat, the cucumbers will be small and the yield will be greatly reduced. Doesn't like the wind. Requires a large amount of nutrients. A good harvest is obtained when fertilized with rotted mullein.
The first harvest is harvested one and a half months after planting. It should be borne in mind that untimely harvesting reduces the fertility of the bush. With proper care, you can harvest from thirty to forty kilograms of gherkins per square meter.
You can plant both seedlings and seeds. Seeds are sown to a depth of one and a half centimeters at a distance of 0.15 meters from each other. The distance between the beds is 0.6 meters.
Attention! You can sow seeds in open ground only after the soil has warmed up to 15 degrees and the end of night frosts is guaranteed.
Wanting to get the cucumber harvest early, Siberian garland is planted in greenhouses.
General principles for growing superbunch hybrids
Plants are formed into one stem to improve illumination and provide the ovaries with adequate nutrition. Remove female flowers with side shoots at the first three nodes and remove side shoots from all other internodes up to the trellis. After the formation of the first harvest, the cucumber needs nitrogen fertilizer. In addition to nitrogen, it is worth feeding plants with complex fertilizers and organic matter (diluted manure). Water abundantly and regularly. The number of mature plants per square meter is no more than two. Harvest is regular and timely.
If these conditions are met, super bunch hybrids will delight you with a very high yield.
Cucumbers Rodnichok F1
Mid-season (germination period is 50 days) bee-pollinated hybrid of medium branching and universal use. The length of the fruits is 10-15 cm, and the weight of each is about 100 g. Despite the single type of flowering, the crop bears fruit well. Cucumbers are suitable both for preparing salads and for long-term pickling.
The yield of Rodnichok F1 cucumbers depends on the growing method: in open ground - approximately 7 kg per bush, on a trellis in a greenhouse - 15 kg. The distance between neighboring plants should be at least 30 cm. The hybrid is resistant to infections such as bacteriosis, olive spot and anthracnose.
Greenhouse
"RMT F1"
The variety is also suitable for open ground, but it is preferable to grow it in greenhouses. Beam early ripening. Forms up to ten ovaries in each node.
The number of simultaneously ripening cucumbers is from twenty to thirty. The variety is universal. Gherkins are up to thirteen centimeters in size. It withstands drought well, producing large yields even in dry summers.
Cucumbers Ural gherkin F1
This parthenocarpic hybrid produces ovaries in bunches, several in each node. Dense greens, 6-8 cm long and weighing 80-100 g, are cylindrical in shape, coarsely tuberous and with white spines. They do not become bitter and do not turn yellow for a long time. Suitable for both fresh consumption and canning.
The hybrid has complex resistance to bacterial and fungal infections of cucumber. With proper care, you can collect 4-6 kg from one “square”. The Ural Gherkin F1 cucumber is an early ripening cucumber: the fruits ripen 35-45 days after emergence.
Ural gherkin F1 cucumbers are easy to grow even on the balcony.
