Good day to all! I have been growing Sinichka tomatoes at home for a long time on the balcony. The variety is early and unpretentious.

Good afternoon! I advise all cherry tomato lovers to try the Sinichka variety. It can be easily cultivated right at home, on the balcony. A box or a regular old pan is suitable as a container for planting. The plant responds positively to feeding and loves watering. It is advisable to regularly ventilate the room and install fluorescent lamps. The bushes are low-growing, very compact. The berries weigh about 20 grams, are regular in shape and taste sweet. I recommend!
