Reviews of gardeners and gardeners
- Valery, 48 years old, Barnaul: In my region, climatic conditions cannot be said to be harsh, but less favorable in comparison with some other areas, but even despite this, such a variety as “Star of Siberia” gives just a wonderful harvest. To my surprise, I was satisfied with the variety, I think that I will continue to plant tomatoes of this variety in the country.
- Elvira, 55 years old, Novosibirsk: More recently, friends advised me to try to plant such a variety with a very unusual name. At first, my husband and I thought for a long time whether it was worth trying something new, because there are proven varieties that guarantee a yield, but still come to the conclusion that you need to try something new. The "Star of Siberia" came to our taste and absolutely suited both me and my husband. The taste of this variety is simply amazing, this is even considering the fact that all the fruits are large enough. Yields are high, we ate fruits of this variety all summer, sent them to children in another city, and still remained for conservation. I highly recommend this variety to all self-respecting summer residents and gardeners!
