Gardeners' opinion
Good afternoon I advise tomato lovers to try the Senor tomato variety. It can be safely grown in open ground in the southern regions of Russia. The tomato is not whimsical, loves feeding, requires tying and pinching. The productivity is very high. Over the summer I collect up to 23 kilograms of berries from a bush. I recommend!
