Reviews of Vermilion tomato
Reviews of the Vermilion tomato from those who grew it on their property.
Katerina, 28 years old:
“A variety with stable yield. I was pleased that after transplantation the seedlings quickly got used to the new place and did not get sick. The harvest began in August; the tomatoes did not want to turn red for a long time. In my opinion, they are not very suitable for food due to their thick skin and taste. Although my friend liked it. Application found in seaming. The fruits went especially well when pickled whole. The skin did not crack and the flesh remained dense.”
Nikolay, 59 years old:
“The worst variety of tomatoes that I grew on the plot. The seedlings grew poorly; only a few sprouts sprouted from the bag of seeds. The yield was not great, there are also more productive varieties. The taste is not bad, they are not suitable for salads and food, they are too sour, but they are suitable for processing. Used to prepare lecho. I won’t plant next year.”
