Gardeners' opinion
Good day to all! Last summer, a neighbor in his summer cottage grew a tomato of the Parodist variety. After his successful experience, I decided to plant the variety myself. Given the cool summer, the harvest made me happy. Cultivated in a greenhouse, planted a tomato tightly. The compact, low-growing plant allows up to 9 bushes per square meter. An unpretentious tomato needs watering, over the summer it fed 6 times, loosened and removed weeds. There were no difficulties, I grew sweet berries. Recommend!

Good afternoon! This summer, Parodist planted a new tomato variety for himself. Tomato is stress-resistant to adverse weather conditions. Does not require additional care measures. The early ripening variety does not need to be tied up or supported. He loves feeding and abundant watering. You can plant seedlings densely, the tomato is very compact. The fruits are quite large, each weighing about 150 grams. Suitable for salads and fresh consumption, tried to dry. I did not find any minuses for myself!
