Galina Grigorievna: “Usually I plant tall tomato bushes in a greenhouse, but last year I decided to experiment and planted several tomatoes of the Swan Princess outside. This tomato pleasantly surprised me with abundant fruiting and friendly ripening in an open garden. In the greenhouse, the fruits turned out to be more fleshy and without sourness, and in the garden, juicy and tasty. With real tomato flavor. The grade is suitable for the fresh use and preparation of salads. Abundant pinching allows you to grow additional bushes not through seedlings, but with the help of stepchildren. Pleased with the absence of diseases.
