| I\'ve grown Moskvich tomatoes for the last three years. The first time I planted them, I was impressed by their early, very tasty fruit and the high proportion of flesh-to-seed. That plant was vigorous and productive through the whole season. For the last two years, the single Moskvich plant in my raised beds (a different bed each year), was the only med-lg tomato I grew that showed signs of some sort of physiological stress or disease. In both years, the plants were not very vigorous and the leaves curled a bit. Fruit production and quality was down. I suspect that I have been battling some sort of wilt that affects Moskvich but not the other varieties I\'ve grown (I grow an ever-changing variety of hybrids and heirlooms each year, and Moskvich is the only variety I\'ve grown in the last 10 years with any vigor or disease problem). I would like to figure this out, because when it grows well, Moskvich is my favorite early tomato. I will try grafting to a disease-resistant rootstock next year. |

| This has been my go to early tomato for years. The taste is good and it seems resistant to disease. There may be better early tomatoes and I am looking but this is a good one. |

| I have been growing Moskvich for over 10 years. It produces beautifully in our short growing season. The fruit is sweet, slightly tangy and juicy- superb. Has always been one of my favorite early tomatoes. |

| A good early-season tomato. Taste is above average. I found when temperatures got over 90-95 degrees it stopped flowering, so there was a period with no fruit. If you're looking for an early, reliable tomato for a cool-season area, this is a good one. |

| Best flavored big (8 oz. +) early tomato I've grown, started very early and produced right to the end of the season. Wish it produced more than the 13.2# , but tastes so good I'll be planting 2 next year. |

| Nice sized, EARLY tomato. Reliable and good tomato taste though not "memorable". Produces all season. Kept going through late blight in 2004. People I grow starts for who like round and red like this one a lot. |
