Opinion of gardeners about the variety

I really liked honey dew sweet tomatoes. I grew it specifically for the child, according to the recommendations of a friend. My daughter eats with pleasure - there are no allergies, I cook salads, I twist them. In cultivation, the variety was not very whimsical. The main thing is not to plant seedlings too close. Tomatoes love space and good feeding. During the summer, the bushes fertilized five times. I collect a good harvest in a warm summer, 4 kg from one bush. A ripe tomato of a very beautiful honey color, regular shape, smooth. They withstand transportation well and can be stored for a long time. We eat our fresh tomatoes until the end of November. Satisfied with the variety, I recommend it!

I planned to make some beautiful preparations for the winter. It took a long time to choose the right tomatoes. According to the description, I liked Medovo sugar tomatoes, the color and size are suitable for twists.The first harvest was taken in August. Ripe berries lived up to expectations. All of the correct form, smooth, neat, the color is very beautiful - honey. Ripe tomatoes are sweet in taste with a slight sourness. I grew a variety in a greenhouse, there were no particular difficulties. Of the features - mandatory stepchildren.

The bushes turned out high, I tied them up. Everything else, like other varieties - watering, loosening, feeding. The spins were a success, in the winter we will pamper ourselves with pickles. Next year I plan to try to plant a variety in open ground if the summer is warm. I will definitely share my impressions.
