Russia, Perm:

I grow tomatoes of this variety in open ground. They have been growing for me for three years now. In cool and rainy summers, the fruit does not gain the required sugar content. Basically, I pick the fruits while they are still green to relieve the bush and speed up fruiting. Tomatoes are stored for a long time and do not lose their commercial quality, even after they have become red and juicy. Excellent for winter preparations, very tasty.

I planted Tanya on the advice of friends a couple of years ago. I was very pleased: the tomatoes are dense, beautiful and tasty. The bushes grow up to 60 - 70 cm, and the average weight of tomatoes is about 160 - 170 grams. They sing together, all of the same round shape and bright red color. The plant does not get sick and is easy to care for. I really like that when preserved, the fruits do not crack and go through all stages of processing well.
