The O-La-La tomatoes have the following advantages:

1. High yield. Growing on large areas is a profitable venture, allowing for a good income per season.

Tomato Reviews

Lyudmila, 49 years old, Tver:

"I've been growing O-La-La tomatoes for several years now. I tried many varieties before, but I settled on this one. First of all, it produces a very high yield. It's enough to provide a large family with vitamins and make preserves for the winter. We sell the surplus, which provides a nice supplement to our salary. Everyone loves the taste and aroma of the fruits; we use them to make salads, juices, and sauces. The vegetables store well, and I serve them every New Year's. Maintenance is straightforward—I tied them up once, and then just water and fertilize."

Andrey, 52 years old, Ryazan:

"After retiring, I settled at my dacha. To find something to do, I set up greenhouses and planted O-La-La tomatoes. The variety proved to be very productive, resistant to heat and cold, pests, and diseases. In the first year, I harvested about a ton of beautiful and delicious fruit. I fed the whole family, stored some in the cellar, and sold the surplus to vendors at the market. The extra income was enough to build a shed. A very good variety, I recommend it to everyone."

"I decided to try something new and planted O-La-La. A friend who lives in Siberia (they're grown there) sent me the seeds. My children and grandchildren really liked the tomatoes. I grew them in a greenhouse and in the open ground. The yield is high, and the fruits have a pleasant taste and aroma. They look very beautiful and appetizing."
