Gardeners' opinions
Good day to all! This summer I discovered the mid-season tomato variety Rosemary. The plant showed good productivity in central Russia. Grown in greenhouse conditions. Tomatoes love space; it is better to plant them loosely. The variety is not capricious; it is enough to follow standard recommendations on agricultural technology. From one bush I got 10 kilograms of berries. The fruits are juicy, fleshy, sweet. You won’t be able to store it for a long time; you need to eat it right away or process it into juice and paste. I recommend it to all lovers of large-fruited tomato varieties.

Good afternoon! On the recommendation of my neighbors, I tried Rosemary tomatoes. In the Krasnodar Territory and other warm regions, you can safely plant seeds directly in open ground. Harvested in less than 4 months. The berries are very large, 500 grams each. An excellent option for dietary meals and children's menus.
