I love this variety and plant it in the greenhouse annually. When the summer is warm and sunny, the yield is very good. I take 3-4 kilos of delicious tomatoes from each bush. I mainly use it for canning for the winter.

Grew up Spanish Lefebres once. Harvest received below average, apparently sunlight and fertilizers need more. The tomatoes themselves are tasty, but in my opinion they are fresh.

On the recommendation of a neighbor, she began to plant this variety. Seedlings are strong, strong. But in the greenhouse the bushes are stretched, you have to tie up. She fed with complex fertilizer during the flowering period. Tomatoes grew tasty, beautiful elongated shape. Those fruits that did not have time to ripen - took off the green. After ripening, the taste is still good. I recommend!
