My opinion about these fruits is the best. For the third year, our entire small family eats salads from fresh small tomatoes year-round. Tomatoes really deserve the rightful love of many lovers of fresh vegetables. True, I have never collected a crop of up to two kilograms from one bush, but this does not upset us at all. We have a lot of pots, there is also room on the windowsill, there is enough harvest, my wife pickles several jars even for the winter for a change.

But for the first time I tried tomato balcony red, I simply fell in love with them. I bought more seeds, by the way, their price is very affordable, and planted everything as it should according to the rules and continued to care for seedlings according to all requirements.
