Opinion of gardeners

Kish-mish tomatoes were planted last summer. An amateur variety. Requires careful attention. The best result is obtained when the bush is formed into one stem. Be sure to tie up the brushes and carry out pinching.

Watering and feeding is similar to other nightshade varieties. The yield is good, 5 kilograms of berries were collected from the bush during the summer season. The variety does not like temperature changes, it must be grown in a greenhouse. Ripe tomatoes are great for pickles and salads.I really liked the sundried tomatoes. Tomatoes are very sweet, honey. In the next summer season, I will definitely allocate a place for them in the greenhouse.

I want to share my impressions about the tomato variety Kish Mish f1 and its hybrid Kish Mish chocolate. Grown especially for a child, to decorate the table for a birthday. The variety is demanding. He loves top dressing, be sure to loosen and remove weeds. If you do not tie up and do not put a support, then there will be no good harvest. It is best to form a bush in one stem.

Difficulties in growing are paid off by the quality of the tomatoes. All are smooth, round, miniature and very sweet. Children and adults ate canapés with Kish-mish tomatoes with pleasure. They are stored for a long time, pamper yourself with fresh tomatoes until the beginning of October. It turned out to roll up a few jars for the new year. The yield is high. Satisfied with the variety, I will plant next year.Recommended!
