Reviews of the tomato variety Apple Spas
Daria, 31 years old:
“I liked the tomatoes so that they do not need to pay much attention to care. I only applied fertilizers several times a season. The yield was excellent.I didn't like fresh vegetables, but they fit perfectly for preservation. In a jar, tomatoes do not crack and retain their flavor. Due to the small size, it is convenient to roll vegetables whole. "
Valentine, 47 years old:
“Apple Spas has recently become my favorite tomato. Ripe vegetables make delicious tomato juices, lecho and ketchup. Also suitable for salads. We ate fresh tomatoes all summer. It tastes juicy and sweet with an incredible aroma. In autumn, after harvesting, green fruits managed to turn red, and ripe vegetables did not spoil for a long time. I also liked this variety because I didn't have to look after it a lot. It is enough to organize proper watering and remove weeds from the site in time. The lack of care had no effect on the yield ”.
