I plant tomatoes in my garden every year. I really like them for their great taste and versatility of use. The weather conditions of my climatic region are very good for tomatoes. I grow different varieties directly in the open field, that is, in the garden. Plants always delight me with a rich harvest. This year I planted a new variety, a hybrid. I liked it from the photo on the package and the name. Tomato seeds with the wonderful name “Anastasia” just asked for hands. I was very satisfied with the cultivation of this variety. The harvest was huge. I used ripe tomatoes for making salads, as well as for seaming for the winter. I will definitely plant again next year.

I am a military pensioner. Growing vegetables and fruits in a summer cottage for me today is a favorite pastime. I especially like growing tomatoes. I try to update my varieties every year and replenish the collection with new, more productive varieties. Last year I planted a tomato “Anastasia”. The seeds germinated well. The seedling grew strong. I planted the plants in open ground. Summer did not particularly please with warm weather, and I already decided that I would not see a harvest from these tomatoes. As it turns out, I was wrong to think so. In June, flowers appeared on the bushes, and then the ovary. Soon fruits were formed, which, to my surprise, ripened quite quickly and together. The harvest was excellent. The taste of the fruit is excellent. I recommend it to everyone as an unpretentious, low-maintenance and high-yielding variety.

I want to share my experience of growing tomato variety “Anastasia”. I have been planting these tomatoes for several years now. The result is always excellent. These tomatoes are not afraid of anything, neither wind, nor drought, nor dampness. In almost any weather, the yield of the variety is good. Of course, it is slightly lower in a cold and rainy summer compared to a sunny and warm period, but still there are enough tomatoes. I mainly grow tomatoes for canning and direct consumption raw. I also cook salads, sauces from ripe fruits, add them to the first and second courses. I really like the Anastasia variety not only for its productivity, but also for its excellent taste.

I love to tinker with tomatoes in my yard. I regularly update varieties. This year I decided to try to grow a hybrid. A neighbor in the country has been growing hybrid varieties for several years, but I still did not dare. At first, I did not really believe in what was written on the package with seeds. The seedlings were specially planted in the garden in order to reliably verify all the promises of the manufacturer. To my surprise, the seedlings grew together and soon pleased me with the first flowers, and then the fruits. The tomatoes ripened quickly. There are a lot of tomatoes on one bunch (4-6 pieces). They are small in size. Taste qualities are good. From one bush I received an average of 6-7 kg of ripe vegetables. I have not experienced any problems with the occurrence of late blight, rot or viruses. They simply didn’t exist. For me, this fact was very important. Summing up all of the above, I want to note that the manufacturer has fully fulfilled the promises stated on the packaging. Only positive emotions and the best recommendations for the Anastasia tomato from me.

Tomatoes “Anastasia” once and for all completely changed my view on the traditional cultivation of tomatoes. Never before could I even imagine that from one small bush, you can collect a whole ten-liter bucket of fruits, and even with a slide. With this variety of tomatoes, my old dream of getting a rich harvest came true. Now, without much effort and with minimal labor, you can enjoy a rich harvest of juicy and fragrant tomatoes. I have enough of them for everything: eating raw, preparing salads, sauces, ketchups, for salting and marinating, preparing various seamings for the winter. It is not necessary to plant a large number of plants. For my family of five, ten bushes were enough. This property of the variety helped me to significantly reduce the total area for planting tomatoes and thus provide an opportunity for planting other plants, which is important, especially in conditions of a sharply limited sown area. Only my very best recommendations for the Anastasia variety.
