Rules for successful seedlings:
Diseases and pests
The Funtik variety is quite resistant to viral tobacco mosaic and fusarium. Although for preventive purposes, bushes can be treated with special preparations. Fungi can hit plants like a blow to the head for the following reasons:
- Use when sowing infected seeds.
- The terrible virus was in the soil for sowing and diving.
Before sowing, it is recommended to disinfect the soil. To do this, the soil is calcined at high temperature in the oven or on the stove for 2-3 hours. You can pour boiling water over the ground, that is (i.e.) a solution of potassium permanganate. It is also recommended to soak the seeds in a manganese solution. A good way to completely get rid of pathogens and pest larvae is to loosen the soil during planting and timely removal of weeds. Experts advise regularly inspecting the bushes for lesions and infestations of harmful insects. After detecting signs, it is a good idea to spray with chemicals.
Description of the hybrid tomato Snowman F1 and technical data of the plant
Breeders are constantly working to create new varieties of tomatoes. One of the recent new products is the Snowman F1 tomato. This is a very interesting hybrid that deserves special attention from gardeners with varying levels of experience.
Hybrid characteristics
This variety is recommended even for cultivation by beginners. The tomato grows well both in the greenhouse and in the open ground and always produces a consistently high yield. Moreover, the Snowman hybrid is resistant to many diseases, so it does not need to be sprayed with chemicals to prevent various ailments.
Experts recommend the Snowman variety to those summer residents who live in areas with unfavorable summers for growing garden crops. High yields will be ensured not only during prolonged rains, but also during drought. However, in order not to lose the fruits, it is necessary to follow some recommendations of experts.
If you comply with all the requirements of agricultural technology, you can get an impressive harvest of tasty and very beautiful tomatoes. One of the important advantages of this variety is that tomatoes can be harvested earlier than 3 months after sowing the seeds. The fruits ripen very quickly, so many diseases, including dangerous late blight, simply do not have time to affect them.
This variety belongs to the first generation tomatoes. It has very high taste and agrotechnical qualities. With proper care, the gardener will receive a large harvest of delicious tomatoes in a short time.
The characteristics and description of the variety indicate that the Snowman hybrid belongs to the determinant type. This suggests that the plant does not stretch to a very large size, as it has limited growth. The size of the bush directly depends on where the “snow” tomato will grow. If you plant the plant in a permanent place in open ground, the tomato will be about 70 cm.
In the greenhouse, the bushes stretch more than a meter. The maximum height that the Snowman can reach is 120 cm.
Rules for growing the variety
It is recommended to grow this variety of tomato only in seedlings. To do this, you must first prepare the seeds, sow them in a container with sand and peat, and then wait for germination. Next, a picking procedure is carried out, where excess plants are removed. You can plant seedlings in a permanent place only after the weather is warm outside.
At this stage, the tomato bushes should have several leaves and possibly one flowering branch. Before transplanting tomatoes to a permanent location, they should be hardened off.
To do this, a couple of weeks before planting, the plants are taken outside. Every day, the number of hours that tomatoes will spend in the fresh air should increase.
This will make the plants stronger and more resistant to difficult weather conditions.
Additionally, weeding and loosening of the bushes should be carried out. This will saturate the roots with oxygen and increase the availability of nutrients. As a result, the yield will be higher, since the tomatoes will be larger.
The Snowman hybrid bushes grow quite lush, so excess branches and greenery can be removed. This way, even when planted close together, the fruits will receive enough sunlight. Experts recommend planting a plant of this variety in the amount of 4 pieces per 1 m². From each tomato you can harvest at least 5 kg of delicious tomatoes.
Description of fruits
One of the main advantages of this variety is its high yield. With proper agricultural technology, the yield per 1 m² will be about 20 kg. These are high indicators for a determinate variety.
On a relatively low plant, clusters are formed, each of which will contain 5 fruits. Initially they are light green, and when ripe they become completely red.
At the same time, many gardeners harvest tomatoes when they are greenish so that they do not spoil in bad weather conditions.
The fruits of Snowman the First can ripen on the windowsill, so this variety can be grown even in the northern regions of the country.
The average weight of one tomato is 150 g. Snowman tomatoes are flattened and have slight ribbing. They are well suited for canning for the winter and summer vegetable salads. The tomatoes taste sweetish, but with a slight sourness. The fruits have a pronounced tomato aroma.
An important advantage of this variety, as evidenced by numerous reviews, is that it produces fruits with dense pulp and skin.
Such tomatoes do not deteriorate during long-term transportation and can be stored for up to two months in a cool place.
Description of the hybrid tomato variety Marianna, cultivation rules and care
Many summer residents ask how to grow Marianna F1 tomato. Yield varieties of tomatoes always top the ranking of seeds that vegetable growers purchase for sowing for seedlings. Gardeners want to get a lot of fruit not only in the first tomato harvest, but also in subsequent ones.
What is a Marianna F1 tomato?
Characteristics and description of the variety:
- The bushes of this variety do not grow very tall, on average about 40 cm.
- At the same time, the bushes are quite wide, 40-50 cm in diameter.
- The leaves are medium in size and light green in color.
- There is no need to tie plants to supports or trellises, but tomatoes must be regularly and properly cared for to obtain a large harvest.
In the description of the variety, gardeners are attracted by the characteristics of the fruit:
The skin is elastic, glossy, hard, and does not crack during fruit ripening and transportation. The color is rich, red. Tomatoes can be stored in boxes for a long time without losing their quality.
The pulp contains 3.4% sugar, making the tomatoes very tasty, sweetish, and have a pleasant tomato aroma.
Thus, the Marianna tomato stands out among low-growing plants, as it produces a high yield, which is unusual for such bushes. There is no need for pinching during growth, which makes growing tomatoes easier. Thanks to the efforts of scientists, a variety was obtained that can withstand attacks from viruses and infections, including fusarium and nematodes.
The Marianna F1 tomato was created by breeders who have been creating plant varieties and seeds for over 100 years. Thanks to the breeding capabilities and accumulated experience, a type of tomato has been developed that tolerates heat and cold well.
The variety was tested in the North Caucasus. Despite the high cost of seeds, the variety is very popular among consumers, who receive a quality guarantee from the manufacturer.
Growing and care
The variety is mid-season; the period of fruit formation and ripening is 120-130 days. Seedlings can be planted not only in open ground (which is why this species was created), but also in greenhouse conditions. Productivity depends on the planting site and growing region.
The ripening of the crop occurs 2-2.5 months after planting in the ground. High-quality ovaries are formed on the hands in warm climates and high air temperatures.
Due to their determinate nature, the bushes can be planted compactly on plots of land. Up to 20 thousand bushes are usually placed on 1 hectare. Plants are planted in the ground in 2 ways - direct and seedling, which is used more often than sowing seeds in open ground. If necessary, picking is carried out.
Seedlings that are transferred to the ground are very sensitive to heat. Therefore, the soil should be well warmed up to +15...+16 °C. The soil warms up to this temperature in the greenhouse in April, and in the beds in the second half of May. Seedlings at the age of 35-40 days should be deepened into the ground by 10 cm. If all rules of agricultural technology are followed, the yield will be high.
Rules of care
In order to produce the highest possible tomato yield, it is recommended to follow the rules of care. Bushes should be shot with warm, settled water in the evening. The soil should not be over-watered, otherwise the roots may begin to rot. Several times after summer it is necessary to apply complex organic and mineral fertilizers. Obviously, the bushes need to be pinched and the lower leaves should be plucked off in a timely manner. If plants are grown in a greenhouse, it is good to ventilate it regularly.
If you properly care for tomatoes throughout the entire season, you can get wonderful harvest results.
Growing tomatoes
How to prepare seeds?
The variety is hybrid and therefore seeds purchased in the store are planted. This material is treated against fungal infections and does not require additional treatments, but for your peace of mind, you can soak the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for about 20 minutes.
Also, to increase immunity, the seeds can be soaked in aloe juice.
And in order to know exactly which seeds will germinate, it is advisable to germinate them on damp gauze. To do this, pour a saucer with water, put gauze in it and lay the seeds on top.
Sowing seed material
The seeds should be sown around the end of February. If the material is not germinated, then sowing proceeds as follows:
- The seeds must be deepened one centimeter into prepared containers with soil;
- Then water the soil with a spray bottle;
- Cover the top with film.
- The material is placed in a dark place for several days, and when sprouts appear, you can remove the film and move it to a well-lit place.
Rules for planting seedlings
Like any seedlings, sprouts of this variety are planted around the second half of May. The planting pattern is standard (40 cm by 50 cm). There are no more than 4 plants per square meter.
Landing algorithm:
- Preparing the holes. You need to dig shallow holes, fertilize the soil at their bottom and insert pegs for tying;
- Planting bushes. For this procedure, the sprouts are removed along with the soil and the root system of the plants is placed in the holes. After this, the roots are buried, but there is no need to compact the soil too much;
- Watering tomatoes.
Growing tomato seedlings
After reading the description of the variety, characteristics, reviews of yield, photos, you can plant the O la la tomato in open ground.
First you need to prepare the ground. The soil needs to be dug up, fertilized, and watered. The support should be installed in advance. Compost can be used as fertilizer.
To protect plants from frost, you can make a shelter. Experienced gardeners additionally carry out mulching. This allows you to retain moisture and heat in the soil.
Planting indeterminate varieties in a greenhouse is preferable to open ground. Planting technology - seedling method. It is better to grow seedlings yourself. To sow, purchase tomato seeds from reliable sellers and carefully read the labels on the packaging.
Seeds need to be inspected, small and damaged ones should be discarded. To do this, we immerse the seeds in salted water, and use those that have sunk to the bottom for sowing, having previously washed them and soaked them for 15 minutes in a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
You can grow seedlings in the following ways:
- in soil mixture;
- in coconut fiber;
- in peat tablets.
The most suitable time for sowing is the beginning of March, when daylight hours increase. Temperature plays an important role. At first, it is optimal to maintain the readings at 22–23 degrees, then gradually lower them to 17–19 so that the seedlings do not stretch. When the first two leaves appear, the seedlings are planted in pots or cups.
After planting, the ground is watered abundantly and sprinkled with mulch 10 cm thick. The seedlings are left untouched for eight to ten days to take root. If the soil is well mulched, the bed does not need watering at this time.

The best varieties of tomatoes for 2021: photos and descriptions
When choosing tomatoes for their plot, gardeners, first of all, rely on varietal or hybrid characteristics. Productivity is the most important criterion on which the quantity and quality of the harvest depends. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right option from the rich variety of tomatoes for open ground and greenhouses. Then varieties are selected depending on the growing region, ripening period, degree of disease resistance and other factors.
Varieties for open ground
A huge number of species with excellent yields are intended for growing vegetables in the open air. Low-growing bushes with large fruits are one of the advantages of tomatoes for the soil. Such heat-loving plants are easier to care for and do not require complex agricultural practices.
According to ripening period
Tomatoes, like other vegetable crops, are characterized by different ripening periods, from early to late.
| Ripening period | Ripening of fruits after the appearance of the first shoots | general characteristics | The most productive tomatoes (2020) |
| Ultra-early ripening | On day 80-85 | The fruits are small, juicy, and low in sugar. The height of the bush is no more than 50 cm. Not suitable for preservation. | Little Red Riding Hood, Pride of Russia, Benito, Superstar, Valentina, Marisha, Maksimka |
| Early ripening | For 90-95 days | Small, delicate fruits, average yield. Suitable for canning and salads. Bushes grow up to 70 cm | Agatha, Riddle, Augustine, Lyana, Sanka, Buyan, Lakomka, Amur standard, Grandmother's kiss |
| Mid-early | On days 100-103 | The fruits are juicy, small, aromatic. The purpose is universal. Bush shape - compact | Openwork, Babushkino, Pulka, Red Giant, Russian Soul, Cardinal, Flamingo |
| Mid-season | On day 100-115 | High taste, excellent yield. There are both low-growing and tall varieties | Scarlet Candles, Hybrid Basket, Stresa, Intuition, Black Baron, Pudovik, Pink Honey |
| Late ripening | On day 120-130 | Excellent fruit taste, high yield, universal purpose. Good keeping quality and transportability of fruits | Giraffe, Cosmonaut Volkov, Titan, Rio Grande, Russian size, King of Kings, Rocket, Premier |
The ripening time, color and shape of tomatoes depends on the variety.
Usually early-ripening vegetables with not large fruits and not a large harvest, but with a quick, friendly yield of ripe tomatoes. Mid-season ones also have medium sizes. Late ones are usually difficult to care for, but it is among them that you can find champions in weight, but there are not many such beauties on the bush.
By growing region
Every year, breeders create new species with high quality indicators. In stores you can buy specialized varieties of tomatoes designed for growing in certain climatic conditions. Classification by regions of Russia:
- for the Moscow region: Champion, Sweet Bunch, Honey, Pink Elephant, Fireworks, Bull's forehead;
- for the southern regions: Torch, Novice, Titan, Winner, Bison, Ermak, Gift, Mikado;
- for the middle zone: Bull's Heart, Black Prince, Uzbek (Yusupov), Moskvichka, Snowdrop, Big Brother, Spasskaya Tower;
- for Siberia: Siberian heavyweight, Ultra early ripening, Sanka, Abakan pink;
- for the Urals: Coin, Bull's Heart, Button, Countryman, Yellow Buyan, Bullfinch, Demidov;
- for the far north: Snowy Tale, Ballerina, Ladyfingers, Berdsky Large, Countryman, Oak, Gina.
An unpredictable, cold or, conversely, excessively warm climate is not a reason to refuse to grow tomatoes in open ground. Thanks to selection, varieties have been developed that grow and develop well in any terrain.
According to disease resistance
To obtain a rich harvest, you need to choose tomato varieties not only with the appropriate characteristics. It is necessary that this criterion be supplemented by such an indicator as disease resistance.
Late blight, root rot, tobacco mosaic, cladosporiosis are diseases that most often affect plantings of heat-loving crops.
General characteristics of the tomato Funtik f1 and description of the fruits of the hybrid variety
Many gardeners organize tomato yield competitions.
If a summer resident wants to surprise his neighbors, he should pay attention to the Funtik f1 tomato. These are large tomatoes that give a very good harvest
Their taste is simply excellent. Despite the fact that tomatoes are quite large, they have a universal purpose and are suitable for various uses. But still, Funtik tomatoes have gained the greatest popularity as an ingredient in salad. Their delicate sweet taste makes them an ideal addition to summer vegetable appetizers.
Funtik is a hybrid, so only original seeds purchased from the manufacturer should be used for cultivation. In this case, you can get ideal fruits with good weight and excellent taste. The Funtik variety was specially bred by Russian specialists. It has universal characteristics, so it is suitable for both open ground and greenhouses. The yield will be high in any case.
Description of the variety
This hybrid is classified as an indeterminate type. This suggests that the plant can have unlimited growth, so it should be pinched at the top. It is advisable to do this when the tomato reaches the 2 meter mark.
If you do not carry out the pinching procedure, the plant can stretch above 2.5 meters. In greenhouse conditions, the tomato can be even larger. But this has a bad effect on yield, since the tomato gives a lot of energy to the greens instead of saturating the fruits.
The plant grows very tall, but not too spreading, so the planting pattern for the bushes can be quite dense. You can place 6 tomatoes per 1 m².
Hybrid Funtik produces a large number of fruits. They are formed on brushes, of which there can be up to 12 pieces on each bush. There are 6 large tomatoes in one bunch.
The big advantage is that the plant produces all its fruits at once. This is convenient for those who grow tomatoes for canning. The productivity of the Funtik hybrid is very high. With proper agricultural technology, gardeners harvest up to 10 kg of delicious tomatoes from each bush.
The highest yield is observed with proper care of tomatoes. They must be well fertilized, weeded and moderately watered. As for spraying against diseases, it will not be superfluous for preventive purposes. But the manufacturer assures that this hybrid is highly resistant to late blight, verticillium and tobacco mosaic.
Fruit characteristics
The characteristics and description of the variety indicate that these tomatoes have a universal purpose and can be suitable for any type of use.
The tomatoes turn out quite large. Their average weight is 230 g. The color of the fruit is red, and the taste is sweet and very pleasant. Large tomatoes are not very convenient to preserve as a whole, but Funtik fruits are quite suitable for juice, sauce or tomato paste. In addition, they are considered an excellent addition to summer vegetable salad.
The fruits of this variety have a fairly dense skin, so they can be easily transported even over long distances without the risk of losing their presentation. Moreover, tomatoes are stored in a cool place for a very long time. If you harvest in August, you can enjoy the pleasant taste of fresh tomatoes until mid-autumn.
Reviews about the Funtik tomato are extremely positive.
Veronica, Shakhty: “Excellent tomato, I have never seen such a productive tomato. To the envy of all my neighbors, I collected 10-12 kg per bush! The fruits are very tasty, aromatic, fleshy and elastic. Do not crack during ripening and storage. They can lie there for a long time!”
Marina, Moscow region: “I grew it in a greenhouse. The bushes were not sick, the yield was as stated by the manufacturer. I used tomatoes mainly for pasta and salads. In general, it was not possible to preserve it; the fruits grew too large!”
Reviews from gardeners
- Efim Danilovich, 61 years old:
Very good variety Funtik. I surprised all my dacha neighbors with the resulting harvest. I collected more than 10 kg from one bush. The tomatoes are very tasty and meaty. The pulp is juicy, thanks to the durable skin, the fruits can be stored fresh for a long time. My family ate healthy tomato salads until the frosts. Caring for bushes is not difficult. It is enough to form a stem, tear off the stepsons and tie the bushes. Then you need to water, loosen the soil and apply fertilizer. The result obtained completely justifies the time spent. - Angelina V., 51 years old:
She grew the Funtik variety at her dacha in a greenhouse. I got a good harvest. I made sauce, juice and lecho. Whole tomatoes were not suitable for canning because the fruits grew too large. Fresh vegetable salads are very tasty, thanks to the aromatic tomatoes. I will definitely always grow this variety. It is important to remove weeds and add nutrient mixtures in a timely manner. This has a beneficial effect on the development of tomatoes.

Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Evpator, its yield
Early ripening hybrids have become widespread due to their high taste, low maintenance requirements, and minimal effort for their cultivation. One of the remarkable vegetable plants of the first generation is the Evpator tomato. It is suitable for growing in greenhouses and greenhouses. You can get yields in open ground, but much less.
Distinctive characteristics of the hybrid
A powerful, vigorous-growing tomato variety Evpator has a strongly dissected leaf shape. According to the type of development, the plant is classified as generative, because after the appearance of ten flower racemes, its growth slows down. Ovaries are formed every three leaves. As a result of these growth characteristics, the height of the bush reaches 180 centimeters.
The first inflorescences appear above the ninth leaf; they are compact and simple in structure.
A hybrid tomato variety has all the best qualities of its parents. He is not afraid of diseases and is highly resistant to fungal and viral infections.
The description of the fruit includes the following parameters:
- round shape;
- smooth, glossy skin;
- Red color;
- the number of seed chambers reaches six;
- six percent dry matter;
- duration of fruit storage;
- good transport tolerance.
Grown tomatoes are suitable for canning in their entirety; they make delicious sauces, juice, and tomato paste. When you receive a harvest of five or six kilograms from a bush, preparing tomatoes for the winter is not difficult.
Strong seedlings are the key to high productivity
Hybrid seeds are purchased in specialized stores. Features of growing seedlings include the following actions:
- Before sowing, seed material must be checked for germination.
- Then, wrapped in gauze, immersed in a solution of potassium permanganate for twenty minutes.
- Many people germinate seeds in advance. To do this, place it in damp toilet paper or cloth, cover it with a plastic bag and place it in a warm place. The seeds that hatch after five days are ready for planting.
- For the procedure, containers are chosen in the form of individual cups or cassettes, as well as boxes for seedlings. A layer of drainage is placed on the bottom - expanded clay, clay shards, eggshells. Afterwards, nutrient soil is poured, which is prepared from a mixture of peat and leaf soil. The soil is thoroughly moistened, small depressions are made with a distance of two to three centimeters.
- Sprouted seeds are buried one centimeter into the ground. After carefully sprinkling the seeds with soil, spray the plantings with a spray bottle.
- The container is covered with film and placed in a room with an air temperature of at least 22 degrees.
- After the sprouts appear, the temperature is reduced to 17 degrees.
- The sprouts sprout when they have two true leaves.
- Two weeks before planting, the seedlings begin to harden in the ground, taking them out onto the veranda or balcony.
Planting seeds is not difficult, the main thing is that the seedlings do not die and turn into strong adult tomatoes.
Important points in caring for vegetables
The tall tomato Evpator F1 is transplanted into a greenhouse after the seedlings reach the age of 60 - 65 days. The distance between the bushes should be twenty centimeters.
Those who have planted a hybrid know how important proper care of the plant is. It includes:
- regular feeding;
- moderate watering;
- formation of a bush into one, less often two stems;
- obligatory garter.
It is possible to get a lot of tomatoes of the Evpator F1 variety on time if you feed them with mineral or organic fertilizers every ten to twelve days. For the first time, it is useful to add a liter of nutrient solution to each plant. It is prepared by dissolving a spoonful of complex fertilizer or ammonium nitrate in a bucket of water.
Then, diluting chicken manure in a ratio of 1:15, or mullein in a ratio of 1:5, water the tomato plantings. During the growing season, alternate the application of minerals and organic matter. It is imperative to think about moderation of nutritional proportions for vegetables. Do not forget about loosening the soil after it is moistened.
Compliance with all agrotechnical practices will lead to high yields of the Evpator tomato, according to reviews from experienced gardeners.
Features of cultivation
Sowing of seeds should be done at the end of February. From the appearance of the first shoots to harvest, 118 - 126 days should pass. Tomatoes love fertile, loose soil. It is recommended to mix the soil with peat and sand, then place it in a box. The seeds are planted to a depth of 1-2 cm. After watering, the boxes are covered with film or glass and placed in a warm, sunny place until germination. After the loops appear, the cover is removed. As soon as the sprouts form 1-2 leaves, the seedlings are planted in separate containers. It is recommended to combine picking with the addition of mineral fertilizers.
