Gardeners' opinion
Last summer we planted Kish Mish tomatoes. The variety is for everyone. Requires careful attention. The best result is obtained when forming a bush into one stem. It is necessary to tie up the brushes and carry out pinching.
Watering and feeding are similar to other nightshade varieties. The yield is good; 5 kilograms of berries were collected from the bush during the summer season. The variety does not like temperature changes; it must be grown in a greenhouse. Ripe tomatoes are great for pickles and salads. I really liked the sun-dried tomatoes. The tomatoes are very sweet, honey-like. Next summer season I will definitely make room for them in the greenhouse.

I would like to share my impressions about the tomato variety Kish Mish f1 and its hybrid Kish Mish chocolate. I grew it especially for a child, to decorate the table for his birthday. The variety is demanding. Loves feeding, it is necessary to loosen and remove weeds. If you don’t tie it up and put up a support, then there won’t be a good harvest. It is best to form a bush into one stem.
The difficulties of growing pay off in the quality of the tomatoes. All are smooth, round, miniature and very sweet.Children and adults happily ate canapés with tomatoes Quiche Mish. They keep for a long time, treat yourself to fresh tomatoes until the beginning of October. I managed to roll up a few jars for the New Year. Productivity is high. I'm happy with the variety and will plant it next year. I recommend!
