Gardeners' opinions
Good day to all! This summer I discovered the mid-season tomato variety Rosemary.The plant showed good productivity in central Russia. Grown in greenhouse conditions. The tomato loves space, it is better not to plant tightly. The variety is not capricious, it is enough to follow the standard recommendations for agricultural technology. I got 10 kilograms of berries from one bush. The fruits are juicy, fleshy, sweet. You won't be able to store it for a long time, you need to eat it right away or process it into juice and paste. I advise all lovers of large-fruited varieties of tomatoes.

Good afternoon! On the recommendation of the neighbors, I tried Rosemary tomatoes. In the Krasnodar Territory and other warm regions, you can safely plant seeds directly into open ground. Harvested in less than 4 months. The berries are very large, 500 grams each. An excellent option for dietary meals and children's menus.
