Tomato "Grandma Baker" liked. As recommended, he was grown in a greenhouse. Our climate is unstable, so I grow tomatoes and peppers in a 3 × 5 meter polycarbonate greenhouse. For his family, grown vegetables are enough. Tomato "Grandma Baker" gave a good harvest, the fruits formed large. They ate them fresh, processed them into tomato juice, which the wife rolled into cans for the winter.

I grow both large-fruited and small tomatoes. This year, the variety "Grandma Baker" was caught. Productivity is good, 3-3.5 kg. from the bush. The stem is thin, but quite stable. Struck by the weight of the fruit. There was one tomato that reached a mass of 800 grams. Only five bushes were planted, so the tomatoes only ate and made fresh juice, there was nothing to close, since it diverged very quickly.
