Gardeners' opinions
Good day! This is my second year of growing tomatoes. To all gardeners with little experience in growing nightshades, I recommend the Titanic variety. The plant does not require special care. In the south of Russia it shows a good harvest in open ground conditions. The stem is weak and requires garter. Over the summer I fertilized the tomato 6 times, watered it with warm water, and loosened it. I collected 5 kilograms of berries from one bush.

I recommend the Titanic variety to all tomato lovers. The hybrid, bred by Russian breeders, bears fruit well even in apartment conditions. I grow tomatoes on the balcony all year round. The berries are juicy and sweet. Suitable for vegetable salads, wraps and canning. It is important to ventilate the room well, feed and water regularly. I recommend!
