Irina, 52 years old

Growing yellow truffle in the greenhouse, the bushes turned out to be about 1.5 meters. In general, I liked the variety, the harvest is good, they lay for a long time. But in fresh form, I did not like too much, in my opinion, too dense peel. And in the pickle they are excellent - they did not crack, they look beautiful in the bank. Next year I’ll try to plant in the garden.

I bought a bag of seeds after reading a large number of positive reviews. I grew seedlings and then transplanted to an open garden bed. Tied to the trellis, removed the extra stepsons. Later I used them to form new bushes. Tomatoes have grown a lot. Prepared a large number of winter preparations (pickled whole in a jar). I liked the variety.
