Reviews of gardeners and gardeners

1. Irina Viktorovna, 55 years old: I RECOMMEND!!! Despite our hot summers, the variety stood and gave a rich harvest. The fruits grew large - at 100-300 grams, and bore fruit together, despite the not very fertile soil that we did not fertilize. I recommend it again.
2. Michael, 39 years old: I have been planting this variety a long time ago and so far it has never failed. The cheeks survived most of the frosts and bore fruit well when there was heat on the street. The fruits were always large and very tasty. I really like the variety, therefore I recommend it.
3. Lech, 41 years old: I have not tried such a delicious tomato for a long time. Yes, and there were no special problems during cultivation. The variety withstood all weather conditions without any problems, and in the end gave a good harvest. And what are the big fruits ... wow! Now I know that I will plant next year.
4. Maria P., 37 years old: Wonderful and very persistent variety. Harvest is not so surprised by its quantity. How much we cook everyone with a tomato, but they all do not end and do not end. And there’s something to cook: pastas, salads, sauces, juices (and nobody bothers to pickle for the winter). We liked the variety.
