Gardeners' opinion
Good day! This summer I planted Maksimka tomatoes. The variety is characterized by a small bush height; it can be planted densely. The fruits ripen very quickly, in 80 days. The quality of the berries is excellent. Small, but very sweet tomatoes are suitable for fresh consumption and spinning. I recommend!
