Last year, the Russian soul discovered the tomato variety. The berry is not whimsical and has a decent taste. Necessarily needed tie, otherwise tomatoes break the bush.Not suitable for canning, but just perfect for juice and pasta. They are very fond of feeding and abundant watering.

This summer the Russian soul has grown tomatoes. Summer was not hot, planted in open ground. The harvest did not disappoint. The tomatoes have withstood the temperature drop and rainy weather. I collected about 3 kilograms from one bush. It is a very tenacious and resistant variety. Some of the tomatoes were still green, they ripened perfectly at home. Next year I plan to plant it in a greenhouse. I expect to significantly increase the yield! The berries are very juicy and fleshy. I recommend everything to gardeners!
