Gardeners' opinions
Good day! I have been growing tomatoes for the second year. To all gardeners with little experience in growing nightshades, I recommend the Titanic variety. The plant does not require any special care.In the south of Russia it shows a good harvest in open field conditions. The stem is weak, requires a garter. Over the summer, I fertilized the tomato 6 times, watered it with warm water, and loosened it. I collected and received 5 kilograms of berries from one bush.

I recommend Titanic to all tomato lovers. The hybrid, bred by Russian breeders, bears fruit well even in apartment conditions. I grow a tomato on my balcony all year round. The berries are juicy and sweet. Suitable for vegetable salads, curling and canning. It is important to ventilate the room well, feed it and water it regularly. Recommend!
