Marshmallows in chocolate - an original variety of mid-ripening tomatoes. The family loves their sweet taste and unusual color. Not capricious, grow well in greenhouse conditions. I start preparing seedlings in early May, by August, tomatoes can be harvested. Of the minuses - they can not be stored for a long time. The transportation is also not the best. It should be eaten immediately, crumbled into a salad or marinated. Usually I make a small garden bed, my grandchildren really like the bright color.Fans of unusual varieties should definitely try it!
