I chose “Doll Masha”, the result was “wow”! The fruits are abundant and fleshy, I advise everyone to plant them!
- A year ago I ordered several hybrids at once, Mashenka was among them.I have planted tomatoes of this variety before, but I was not impressed. Now everything is completely different, the results are amazing! I will plant more.
