Alena

I read reviews last winter about early maturing hybrids. I saw a photo of tomatoes F1 Irishka, I decided to try it and did not regret it. The bushes grew without a hitch. Landed according to the recommended scheme. There were a lot of tomatoes on the bushes, they formed together. I had to tie up the branches so that they would not break from overload. Tomatoes began to be eaten early, they ate everything fresh. Harvested in milky ripeness, they ripened and had a good taste.
