Gardeners' opinion
Good day to all! For vitamin lovers, I advise you to grow tomatoes of the Citrus Garden variety.

It is imperative to tie it to the trellis and install supports, otherwise the brushes simply will not support the mass of fruit. The variety is suitable for dietary and baby food. My 1.5-year-old grandson happily ate tomatoes; there were no allergic reactions. I recommend it to all gardeners!
