Greetings to all tomato lovers! Recently I discovered a variety of German selection Nocturne. The early maturing plant is resistant to most diseases, loves feeding and responds well to abundant watering. In the Northwest region, it can be grown only in greenhouse conditions. Even a small greenhouse is suitable, the height of the bushes is small. The berries are delicious, suitable for salads and fresh consumption. Fans of harvesting will be able to preserve the tomato. Recommend!
