Reviews
Lyudmila:
I grew the "Goose Egg" in the open field. The tomatoes are very large, they are not suitable for conservation as a whole, they do not fit into a jar. I tried to salt with slices, completely retained their shape and did not creep.

I planted it for the first time, almost all the seeds sprouted, they grew in open ground. Not capricious, with minimal care the harvest turned out to be excellent.
