Reviews gardeners

1. Nikolay Valerevich, 65 years old: Tomatoes occupy the most space in my greenhouse. Every year I try to plant new varieties. This year, planted a variety of Melody. All summer, as expected, he looked after the bushes, and was very pleased with the results of his labors. All tomatoes are almost the same size in bright red. Excellent palatability made it possible to prepare delicious tomato juice and lecho. Our family consumed fresh tomatoes until late autumn. Be sure to plant this variety again next year.
2. Tatyana Kirillovna, 35 years old: I always liked to grow vegetables in the country. Tomatoes are the main vegetable crop on my site. Growing does not require special knowledge, the main thing is to tie up bushes and break off stepsons. This will help to get larger fruits, and therefore a higher yield. Several times during the summer, I treated the bushes with pest preparations and added fertilizing. Now, all winter my family will eat processed products: lecho, juices, sauces, and pickled halves.
