Larisa: "The Sanka tomato is my favorite early-ripening variety. It produces a good harvest, and the tomatoes are all beautiful, neat, and juicy! It's completely low-maintenance and ripens evenly. I don't even buy other early-ripening varieties anymore, because Sanka has never disappointed me!"

Evgeniy: "I really like Sanka tomatoes. I plant them directly in open ground in early April, and they germinate well. My tomatoes of this variety have never had any problems. The plants grow short but quite wide, so I space them about 40 centimeters apart. The tomatoes have a slightly tart flavor, are fleshy and juicy. Overall, this variety is perfect for an early harvest!"

Anna: "The Sanka variety is generally good, but I've noticed a tendency in my garden: the fruits ripen large at first, then gradually become smaller. That is, the first harvest consists of large fruits, and the last one is quite small. The Sanka tomato is ideal for canning and is easy to care for, so it's generally safe to grow."
