Galina:
Last season I planted “golden bullets”, the tomatoes came out pretty, picture-perfect, and very tasty.
Mila:
Gold, not tomatoes! I collected more than 50 pieces from one bush. And this with a minimum of care.
Alexander:
The tomato is unpretentious. They were grown in open ground, never fed, and the harvest was rich. I would like to note the excellent taste of tomatoes. They ate them fresh, straight from the bush, and salted them in winter.
Olga:
“Golden Bullet” is our family’s favorite variety. We have been planting them for several years in a row. Children simply adore them; you have to make sure that all the tomatoes are eaten.
