Reviews
Alexandra, Taganrog, 48 years old: “The year before last, I planted“ Neighborhood Envy ”tomatoes. I bought seeds on the Internet. I planted it in a small greenhouse next to the house. Grown in the same way as other similar tomatoes: tied up, pinned, fertilized. But the result was excellent. The neighbors also wanted to grow this variety on their site. They took seeds from my tomato crop, but they failed. There were practically no tomatoes on the bushes. I don't recommend experimenting in this way. Better to buy quality seeds right away. "
