Reviews
Larissa:
A very early ripening variety. Unpretentious, does not require special care, only does not interfere with tying up in time. The pulp is juicy and the taste is pleasant.
Hope:
Last year I planted Alyonushka tomato, also an early-ripening variety. I liked the taste, but the yield was not very good, although the fruits were larger. I planted "Alenka" for the first time, I can't get enough of it. Tomatoes are neat, tasty, perfect for whole-fruit preservation and bear fruit like crazy.
