Reviews from gardeners
Since “Nevsky Yubileiny” is a fairly well-known variety, it has already received many ratings from summer residents.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with some of them.
- I live in the Urals and the Nevsky tomato can only be grown in a greenhouse. Ripens early. Miniature neat bushes, the fruits are small and there are few of them. The variety cannot be called unpretentious, since there is a risk that without mineral fertilizers it will not bear fruit. (Alla Sergeevna, Sverdlovsk region)
- From my neighbor, an advanced summer resident, I heard a characteristic and description of the Nevsky tomato variety. The variety immediately interested me, because it is early, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I planted 6 bushes in a greenhouse, did everything as expected, but the result was a little disappointing. There are very few tomatoes on the bush and they don’t shine with taste, as it seemed to me. In general, the result was not worth the effort. (Valentina Petrovna, Tambov)
- Caring for Nevsky tomatoes is quite difficult. It is necessary to follow the feeding regime. Fertilizers based on potassium and phosphorus are best.As for the fruits, they are tasty and juicy. Well suited for homemade preparations. (Olga, Moscow)
- With the Nevsky Yubileiny tomato I got my first experience of growing tomatoes on a windowsill. It was simply a miracle. Real tomatoes grew right in the apartment to the delight of the whole family. You could go into the next room and pick for a salad. I read that they are susceptible to diseases, but this is probably only in open ground. And in our house we grew two bushes of healthy, even, juicy tomatoes. (Alina, Kazan)
