1. Seeds germinate in a small total capacity;
2. After the first more or less small plants appear, they are transplanted into separate pots so that the root system becomes stronger;
3. Then Wild Fred "goes" to the garden, with the calculation of no more than 4-5 bushes per square meter. m

It is this scheme that will allow you to get the highest quality and plentiful harvest. Wild Fred is an unpretentious variety that will allow you to get a stable harvest, and always be sure of its quality.

Reviews

Galina Petrovna, 33 years old, Voronezh

“This is the first time I started growing this variety back in 2002. She noted its high qualities in terms of fruit uniformity, their “convenient” size. I use for cooking salads, and also consider this the main purpose of the variety.

All bushes grow quite wide, but not very tall - 45-50 cm each. About 12 kg is obtained from one bush. Tomatoes

Nina Alekseevna, 29 years old, St. Petersburg

“I didn’t like Wild Fred. Quite an expensive variety, although it gives a decent harvest. Therefore, they plant more “serious” tomatoes, which need additional care. And this one I can recommend to any beginner who decided to try himself in growing tomatoes. ”
