A very good tasting slicing cucumber with small seeds even if picked past its prime. Poor disease resistance; it suffered from disease early on. On a good note, however, it continued to produce a good crop of cucumbers in spite of the disease issues. Makes good pickles!

We had a difficult year between extreme heat and lack of precipitation combined with COVID restrictions, the garden did not get the attention it normally would. This cucumber was a monster - lots and lots of fruit and very tasty. Took over a lot of garden space and spilled over the bed to the walkway. Did give up early, with foliage dying back in mid August.

The Manny F1 Cucumber grew slow here in CNY. The weather was hot and dry. The cucumber was slow to produce fruit. A plant only produce 1 or 2 cucumbers. The plants were watered here and there via drip irrigation. Will try growing them again next year, hoping for a better growing season.
