It delivers a sweet flavor with a nice touch of acidity and a strong, old-fashioned tomato aroma. The flesh is very meaty and leans on the drier side, making it a fantastic dual-purpose tomato (great for slicing, but also perfect for making thick sauces or paste).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f <strong>Resilience:<\/strong> Growers note it is highly resistant to various diseases and general garden crud.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Svetlyachok-plyus (Svetlana) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,450 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Overall, I really liked this variety \ud83d\ude42. True, the yield is just average, I would have loved to get more of these tasty, beautiful fruits off it. It was highly resistant to various diseases\/crud (well, at least it was for me).<\/p>\n<p>The bush was about 32 inches (80 cm) tall out in the open dirt. The trusses have 5-6 fruits each. They have a beautiful, slightly ruffled\/ribbed oblate shape, weighing from 5.3 to 11.3 oz (150 to 320 grams). I absolutely loved the taste. Meaty, even a little on the dry side, sweet with a nice tartness, and a great tomato aroma.<\/p>\n<p>The seeds were from SibSad, packed before 2010, but they germinated really well. I saved seeds from it. It&#8217;s definitely staying in my collection.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58598_ceba94a29de88703fd6682d90901a2a230af72a1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58598_ceba94a29de88703fd6682d90901a2a230af72a1.jpg\" alt=\"Vasya-Vasilek red ribbed tomatoes on the vine\" width=\"538\" height=\"684\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58600_49abd4ecb3673600fa1b57addb78f5d85e77b557.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/58600_49abd4ecb3673600fa1b57addb78f5d85e77b557.jpg\" alt=\"Harvest of Vasya-Vasilek red tomatoes\" width=\"730\" height=\"547\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udccc Quick Summary (TL;DR): Vasya-Vasilek \ud83c\udf0d Origin: A commercial variety from the Russian seed company &#8220;Siberian Garden&#8221; (SibSad).
