Reviews
- This is my second year growing it. In my opinion, this variety is an ideal option for making pickles for the winter. Despite the fact that it is advertised as a pickling tomato, it is excellent for making sauces and tomatoes.
Last year I planted seedlings on April 12, and in July I already harvested the first harvest. They are ideal for canning, I gave it a rating of 5. I recommend tying the bush up and mulching it well into the soil, otherwise the tomatoes may lie on the ground.
