Gardeners' opinions
Good day! This summer, on the advice of a friend, I tried to plant a tomato Hedgehog. Growing a plant is not particularly difficult. The bush is very modest in size, compact. On one square meter of land, you can easily place 5-6 bushes. The tomato loves feeding and reacts positively to abundant watering. The fruits are small, weighing about 70 grams. For whole canning - a great option. Recommend!
