My friend has been planting the Otradny tomato for several years. I have been watching this variety for several years and during all this time I have seen that the variety produces a very good harvest. To calm down, I read reviews and descriptions of the variety, characteristics on the Internet and decided to grow tomatoes at home. I haven't been overjoyed for several years now. The tomatoes are all beautiful, identical and with an interesting sweet and sour taste. This is my favorite tomato. I recommend

Irina, 48 years old.

I used to plant tomatoes, and out of all the crops I planted, something was missing. I couldn't come to a common denominator. Either the bushes need to be tied up, or the yield is small, or the ripening time is not satisfactory. I am satisfied with everything about this variety, I am very pleased. I recommend to all. Thanks to the breeders.

Reviews on growing the Otradny variety

Alexey, Vsevolozhsk district, Leningrad region
Only the Otradny tomato grows in my garden beds. They grow different ones in greenhouses, but for garden beds I think there is no better variety than this tomato. The harvest is very consistent, always with tomatoes, we pick a lot of fruits from the bushes. They are small, suitable for the first salads, when you want your own vegetables. We use later varieties for preservation, but we also tried this one, it’s very good. But the most important thing is that no matter our summer, we always know that we will have a harvest.

Elizaveta, Tomsk
The Otradny variety is one of those tomatoes that every gardener should have. I grow only 8 bushes, they take up little space, they grow under arches right in the garden bed near the greenhouse. All are strewn with tomatoes, the bushes are small, stocky, strong. No more, the harvest begins early. I pick the fruits green, then they ripen at home in a basket. We eat them fresh, I roll them up, the kids love these tomatoes. But I note that their taste is not for everyone, they have no sweetness, just ordinary tomatoes.
