Testimonials

Tatiana, 46 years old, Zavolzhye
This year I decided to move away from the old varieties and tried new products: An amateur's dream and Pink honey. I planted everything in a greenhouse at the end of May. I really liked that the bushes of these varieties did not grow to the ceiling. The longest bush was that of an Amateur's Dream - about 160 cm. The tomatoes turned out to be large and tasty. As for me, they were tastier fresh in the Dream of an amateur. Pink honey was also delicious, but we salted it. Highly recommend.
Mikhail, 39 years old, Zvenigorod
It is not the first year that I have been planting Giant-10. He always has a good harvest. Its tomatoes are very large and fleshy. Once the harvest was so large that it was even necessary to make juice from them in order not to spoil.
Natalia, 51 years old, Znamensk
Of the varieties we have tested, I can recommend Red Bull Heart. Tomatoes have a pleasant sweet taste and are absolutely versatile. We eat them fresh, salt them, add them to stews, make juice and tomato paste out of them. We tried many varieties of the Ox Heart, but red seemed to us the most successful.
