Reviews of gardeners

Anastasia, 33:

“Gardening has been my hobby for the past few years. I recently turned my attention to yellow varieties of tomatoes and try to experiment every year. An unfortunate nuisance happened to the Golden Age last year. The pallet with seedlings fell and the bushes were badly damaged. Despite the misunderstanding and the dry summer, the variety pleased with its yield, and on average, 4.5 kg of yellow large tomatoes were harvested from one plant. ”

Svetlana, 59:

“I can only say one thing about the yellow variety of tomato - super. 5 kg of tomato were taken from each bush, which in our climate is considered almost impossible. Tomatoes have a rich taste and a lemon yellow tint, which looks very unusual in salads.”
