Reviews of gardeners about the variety

1. Natalya Vasilievna, 43 years old: A friend in the country advised to plant the King of the big last year. And I just made my husband glaze on a new greenhouse! She sowed seeds at home in February, and planted seedlings in the greenhouse in April. She smartly went to growth. Girls, the grade is really high. I got to the mark of 1.9m. I had to carefully tie it up, but then the stems did not break under the weight of the tomatoes. And of course, in the case of the King, size matters! For my labors, he generously thanked me with a lot of very, very large, bright, tasty handsome tomatoes. I recommend to all.
2. Victor Fedorovich, 37 years old: He planted the King of large by chance. In the fall, I bought seeds for the new season and liked the photo of a beautiful tomato on a bundle. And the name is impressive. I think I’ll plant, not only foreign hybrids grow. As a result, I was very pleased. The variety turned out to be really fruitful, sweet, tasty, and most importantly, really with a royal fruit size. There were tomatoes - just a sight for sore eyes! Now I praise him and advise all friends.
