Summer residents rarely sow one variety of tomatoes for seedlings. They choose one type for salads, another for canning, and a third for testing.
Everyone has their own view of the situation. But there are so many varieties and hybrids that it is no longer possible to navigate the new ones without tips.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told which varieties of tomatoes are the sweetest and most fleshy.
These tomatoes are suitable for salads, canning and making juice.
But we must not forget that much depends on the growing conditions and the skills of the gardener.
