Gardeners' opinion
Good day! Previously, I tried to grow tomatoes of the Tais variety, but in the conditions of central Russia the yield was not very high. On the advice of a neighbor, this summer I tried the Burkovsky early tomato. The plant withstood the test of a cool summer. From one bush we managed to get about 3 kilograms of berries. It is easy to care for and the ripe berry has good taste. I didn’t find any cons for myself.
