Opinion of gardeners about the variety

Last year I discovered a variety of tomatoes Russian Soul. The berry is not whimsical and with a decent taste. Be sure to tie up, otherwise the tomatoes will break the bush.Not suitable for canning, but for juice and pasta just the perfect variety. Very fond of top dressing and abundant watering. The yield is high, collected from one bush for 5 kilograms. Recommended!

This summer the Russian soul grew tomatoes. The summer was not hot, planted in open ground. The harvest didn't disappoint. Tomatoes withstood temperature drops and rainy weather. From one bush I collected about 3 kilograms. Very hardy and resistant variety. Some of the tomatoes were taken off while still green, they ripened perfectly at home. Next year I plan to plant in a greenhouse. I expect to significantly increase the yield! The berries are very juicy and fleshy. I recommend to all gardeners!
