Reviews

Alexander, Novosibirsk

Tomato "Golden mother-in-law" was first bought because of the unusual name. Having received the first fruits, he was completely satisfied with all the qualities of a vegetable. It is suitable for canning, fresh consumption. When growing does not require any special care. I think I’ll completely stop planting red varieties of tomatoes, and I will stop on growing only this tomato.

 

Pelageya Ivanovna, 47 years old

This kind of tomato was given to me by children. I planted seeds, I didn’t even know that yellow fruits would grow from them, I somehow got used to red ones. It was unusual to pick yellow tomatoes. It should be noted that the taste properties of the fruits are very pleasant. The fruits are fleshy, inside without solid veins.

 

Nina Alekseevna, Volga region

I'm upset about the Golden Mother-in-Tomato variety. I plant a lot of different varieties on my personal plot, both pink and red tomatoes, but the latter did not impress me at all. The peel seemed very tough, and the tomato is too sweet for juice.

 

Ilya Vasilievich, Moscow Region

The first time I tried ripe, bright, yellow Golden Mother-in-law tomatoes a few years ago, I was treated by relatives. Since the variety is hybrid, collecting seeds was useless. I asked the name again, then I thought that they were laughing at me, it’s so interesting. I planted two or three years in my garden, I am completely satisfied with both the fruit itself and the conditions of care.
