Gardeners' opinion
Good day to all! Positive feedback from neighbors in my summer cottage prompted me to plant the Amber Cup tomato variety. The variety impressed me. Fruited well even in cool summers. It is unpretentious in care; it is enough to water, loosen and fertilize on time. I didn’t find any disadvantages for myself. Ripe berries are very sweet and have a beautiful spherical shape. I spoiled my family with sun-dried tomatoes for the New Year. Until mid-October we ate vegetable salads with our own tomatoes. I recommend the variety!
