Reviews of lovers

1. Galina, 44 years old: I love to read the comments of gardeners about last season. I never buy seeds without checking opinions about them, and take them only with good reviews.I would like to get a better result than my neighbors, while putting less effort and time. In addition, the words of other people motivate them to make new "country" achievements, and help to simplify their work.
2. Antonina S., 39 years old: At first I was attracted by the name of the series, then I chose the Raspberry Sunset variety. Not a bit sorry! Pink-raspberry, huge, gorgeous berries warmed the soul every day. Summer turned out to be very sunny and dry, but the yield was very high. The fruits were not less than 300 g, a little matured to 600 g! It was enough to water only once every 5-7 days, fertilized every two weeks. Tomatoes did not ripen at the same time, sometimes they had to be removed and left to ripen in a box - too many tomatoes bent the bush.
3. Lyudmila Anatolyevna, 50 years old: I relied on advertising and bought one pack of seeds. Carefully looked after, fertilized, formed a bush. Strong, the biggest tomato was almost a kilogram of weight! Next year I will definitely plant more.
