Small or large, every garden is a beautiful site to behold.
I too would love to know the tomato varieties your growing.

Hi Levent, that's a beautiful garden. What cucumber variety are you growing? Also, are you currently growing any Turkish heirloom tomatoes?

Levent · July 13, 2012

I must check it out!As I recall it's Beith Alpha F1.
I don't grow any turkish heirloom tomatoes.We call them pinks taking roots from Balkans.
