Gardeners' opinion
Good day! Last summer, a neighbor at his dacha discovered a tomato of the Cadet variety for me. The plant is compact and has good yield. The height of the bushes is only 40–50 centimeters. The fruits can be harvested at the same time. The berries are small and very sweet. I make beautiful preparations out of them and can them entirely. I didn’t find any cons for myself.
