Reviews about the tomato Golden ball
Reviews from those who grew the culture in their area.
Marina, 33 years old:
“I prefer to grow yellow-fruited varieties on the site. They are always sweet and go well for pickling; such tomatoes rarely crack in a jar. Tomato Yellow ball liked after trying it with my grandmother. I immediately begged for seeds. The seedlings sprouted together. Most likely, this is due to the fact that the seeds were not purchased. The seedlings did not hurt; after transplanting into the beds, they began quickly. The first ripe vegetables appeared in August. I am happy with everything, I recommend the variety for growing. "
Artem, 45 years old:
“My story with this hybrid began several years ago. When I bought seeds, I was not sure if I would like the tomatoes. I used to prefer pink fruits, but here I decided to plant yellow ones. The seedlings did not grow well. Perhaps the seed was the reason. When the fruiting period began, there were no ripe tomatoes for a long time. In mid-August, I tasted the first fruits. They tasted good, but not the best either. A year later I tried again, but I already sent them for salting. I liked the canned form more. Now they are planted for pickling for the winter. "
