Reviews of gardeners about the "golden apple"
The hybrid has found constant fans. The gardeners appreciated the tomato.
Penguin:
I bought tomato seeds from the Siberian Garden producer. I grow Kakadu tomatoes for the first year in the open field. At first I was struck by the look of the bush: too powerful. I thought I was overfeeding. The return of fruits is friendly. After the first wave came the second. She was ripened in the pantry. Perfectly transported. Does not crack, does not turn black. Harvested before late blight. Prepared juices, salads, covered them whole. Delicious. I will plant it next year.
Summer in the village:
I bought planting material "Plasma Seeds". Planted in a greenhouse. At a rate of 40 by 50 cm, but more often. A very large harvest. The fruits ripen together. I liked the early ripening. I think that if you do not pick tomatoes green, the taste will be better.
Valentine:
F1 cockatoo tomatoes are my favorites. Several years ago I purchased the seeds "Siberian Garden". I read the description. At first I doubted: it was very well stated. And here, in Abakan, will it be somehow? Sowed for seedlings in March. Supplemented, tempered. In May, I planted it in a polycarbonate greenhouse according to the scheme. She fed and watered. The first ripe fruits appeared in mid-June. The taste is great! They ate in salads and just whole. In August, she put brown and green fruits on ripening. Canned with other vegetables. Tomatoes were on the table until September. I am very satisfied. I recommend it to gardeners living in areas of risky farming.
