Tomatoes perfectly withstand preservation conditions, do not lose their appearance and acquire a rich taste when using spices and seasonings. Tomatoes produce good quality juice.
Growing recommendations

- planting cucumbers;
- squash varieties;
- carrot;
- cauliflower;
- greens in the form of parsley or dill.
It is not recommended to plant seedlings in the place of previous plantings of tomato to exclude nightshade diseases. Re-growing in such a place can be carried out after 2 or 3 years.Do not use fresh manure at the planting site, otherwise the bushes will begin to fatten, that is, stepsons and large leaves will actively form. In this case, the plant will be distinguished by a bad fruit ovary and their slow growth.
Gardeners begin to harvest the first fruits in early July, and fruiting continues until the last days of August with a gradual return of the harvest.
The advantage of the variety is the plant's resistance to late blight. Routine care is to ensure that the plant is adequately watered on time, weeds are removed and the soil is loosened to better oxygenate the plant and prevent root rot.
