Gardeners' opinions
This summer I planted new Alpha tomatoes. The early-ripening tomato produced a good harvest 90 days after planting. There were no difficulties with growing. I watered it in the evening, fed it 5 times over the summer, and loosened the soil. I planted 5 bushes per 1 square. meter. Next year I will try to plant more, 8 bushes per 1 square meter. meter. The tomato is compact and does not require garter. I didn’t find any cons for myself.

Neighbors at their summer cottage discovered the Alpha tomato for me. I sat him down for the first time this year and was pleased. The characteristics and description of the Alpha tomato variety correspond to everything declared by the company’s breeder.
It is unpretentious, resistant to many diseases, and early ripening. The fruits are small, weighing about 50 grams. The taste is good, suitable for vegetable salads. I tried canning and making tomato paste. I recommend!
