Tomatoes are all smooth and smooth, the taste is excellent. Almost all summer my family ate fresh tomatoes. It is required to feed plants at least 3 times per season. This has a positive effect on yield and fruit size. Next year I want to grow this variety again. In my garden there is little space, so compact and low bushes that do not take up much space are suitable for growing. In a greenhouse, the result will be better, if I install a greenhouse, then I will plant tomatoes there.
