Testimonials
Elena Sergeevna, 48 years old, Uvarovo, Tambov region
For the first time she planted tomatoes "Petrusha Gardener" in the country. I decided to experiment and for this purpose I planted part of the seedlings in the greenhouse, and the other part on the street. I began to notice the difference almost immediately. The bushes in the greenhouse did not want to grow for a long time, and when they started growing, inflorescences were already tied on the street. In terms of yield, also significant advantages were observed in street tomatoes. Next year I will definitely plant this tomato variety only in open ground.
Rimma Fedorovna, 56 years old, Penza
I love tomatoes very much, so I always plant them. I grow tomatoes mainly outdoors. I really like it when the bushes do not need to take much care and spend a lot of energy. At my age, this is very important. Having tried a huge variety of different varieties of tomatoes, I settled on hybrids and tomatoes intended for cultivation in the garden. I've been planting Petrusha for several years now. I like the variety very much. The plant is unpretentious, does not need pruning of leaves and side shoots, tolerates a lack of moisture well, and is resistant to diseases. The fruits are oblong and small in size, which makes them especially convenient for canning. Vegetables keep their shape well in the jar, do not creep. The variety is ideal for preparing blanks for the winter.
Anna Ilyinichna, 60 years old, Chelyabinsk
I always prefer growing tomatoes in the open field.I like this method for its simplicity. Most tomatoes are thermophilic plants and require greenhouse conditions, so the emergence of hybrids was a real treat for me. The advantages of this variety are in its small size, lack of pinching and the need for pesticide treatment. In terms of yield and taste, tomatoes grown in the garden are in no way inferior to greenhouse ones. I even like the first ones more. They are more warming, more juicy and sweeter in taste. Tomatoes for open ground are a real find for the gardener, which will help not only significantly save time, but also energy.
