Last year, we moved into a house with a small plot. I decided to try my hand at farming, I chose vegetables that can be grown in the garden, since the greenhouse has not yet been set up, with relocation, and so long as there is enough trouble. Opted for the variety "June", as it does not need daily care, and even early. She planted seeds in early March, in May she had already planted them on the garden bed, though they fertilized and dug up the soil in the spring, and not in the autumn, as recommended. Tomatoes ripened already in the twenties of June, the harvest is good, and there was enough food for conservation. I was satisfied with the variety, I plan to plant more next season.

I’ve been growing tomatoes in my garden for twenty years, I’ve tried many varieties, I liked some more, some even disappointed. I want to write about the tomato variety “June”, it has been holding an honorable place on my site for several years. I like the fact that the bushes do not need to be constantly fertilized and remove stepsons. And their tomatoes already in June, they have a great taste, will appeal to all lovers of sweet and sour varieties. I sow seeds for seedlings in late February, early March, planted in April, if the weather has not improved a bit later, I use portable shelter, it helps me a lot. Harvest a good tomato for the early ones, taking into account that we cover them a little for the winter, we use later varieties for preservation.
