Gardeners' opinion about the variety
I liked the sweet tomatoes of the Honey Dew variety. Grown specifically for a child, according to the recommendations of a friend. My daughter eats with pleasure - there is no allergy, I prepare salads, I spin. In cultivation, the variety turned out to be not very whimsical. The main thing is not to plant seedlings too close. Tomatoes love space and good feeding. Over the summer, I fertilized the bushes five times. Harvest in warm summer is good, 4 kg from one bush. Ripe tomato has a very beautiful honey color, regular shape, smooth. They withstand transportation well and can be stored for a long time. We eat our fresh tomatoes until the end of November. I'm happy with the variety, I recommend it!

I planned to make some beautiful blanks by winter. I have been choosing suitable tomatoes for a long time. According to the description, I liked the Medovo sugar tomatoes, the color and size are suitable for spinning. She took the first crop in August. Ripe berries lived up to expectations. Everything is of the correct shape, smooth, neat, the color is very beautiful - honey. Ripe tomatoes have a sweet taste with a slight sourness. I grew the variety in a greenhouse, there were no particular difficulties. Of the features - mandatory pinching.
The bushes turned out to be tall, I tied them up. Everything else, like other varieties - watering, loosening, feeding. The twists were successful, in winter we will indulge ourselves with pickles. Next year I plan to try planting the variety in open ground if the summer is warm. I will definitely share my impressions.
