How are tomatoes grown?

Let's look at how to grow tomatoes Doll Masha. Seeds need to be planted in the spring so that they germinate in a timely manner. Before planting seeds for seedlings, they are treated with potassium permanganate. Then they need to be soaked in a container with water for 16-17 days. Before planting, the soil must be loosened and watered.

The seeds should be planted in rows at a distance of 4-5 cm from each other to a depth of 2 cm. Then the seeds are covered with soil and the container is left in a warm, bright room. The container with seedlings is covered with film. To grow seedlings, you can use ready-made soil, which is available in specialized stores and is enriched with humus.

When the seedlings have several leaves, they begin to water them abundantly. Then the sprouts are picked and each transplanted into a separate container. Strong shoots need to be hardened off. To do this, the seedlings must be taken outside for a while. In early June, tomatoes are planted in the ground. In this case, the sprout should have 10 leaves and an ovary.

Gastronomic features of fruits

The incredible taste of a ripe tomato is complemented by the visual characteristics of a beautiful fruit. Ripe tomatoes Doll Masha:

round shape;
slightly ribbed;
contain up to 5% dry matter;
The color of the ripe fruit is pink.

An unripe tomato has a greenish color; each tomato contains up to 6 chambers filled with small seeds. Some features:

Up to 6 fruits are formed in one cluster; the weight of one sweet tomato varies from 200 to 250 g.
The filling of ripe tomatoes is rich, meaty, balanced in the ratio of sugars and acids.
Tomatoes can easily be transported and do not lose their appetizing appearance.

The pleasant tomato smell allows the use of ripe fruits as a raw material for pasta and various sauces.

Growing and care

In the first 10 days after planting, scanty watering is needed, then water weekly at the root with warm water. Watering is done when the tomato is not exposed to direct sunlight.

The tomato is fed with mineral fertilizers. Many gardeners prefer manure, but it can only be applied to young bushes before flowering and only in a diluted form no stronger than 1:10.

Spraying with a solution of boric acid helps the fruits to fill and ripen faster.

Bushes benefit from hilling, loosening the soil and mulching the soil. Straw or hay is used as mulch.

Tie the bushes to supports if they begin to bend under the weight of the fruit.

Advantages of a domestic hybrid

Which regions are best to grow in?

Since the hybrid is recommended for cultivation in greenhouse conditions, all regions of Russia are suitable for its cultivation, except for the regions of the far north. The central and more northern regions have slightly lower yields. The southern regions (Astrakhan region or Krasnodar region) are optimal for growing the hybrid “Doll Masha”.

Disadvantages of the famous tomato variety

Good yield and versatility in the use of ripe fruits make the variety a frequent visitor to garden beds and a favorite of summer residents. But the plant has some nuances that make the reputation of the Kukla Masha tomatoes not so impeccable:

cannot grow in open ground;
demands on watering;
capriciousness in relation to the amount of light.

Those who want to raise the ideal Doll Masha should take into account that:

The best time for watering is the second half of the day.
We must not forget about the loosening procedure; the roots of the plant need access to oxygen.
The soil can be mulched for accelerated growth of tomatoes.

Summer residents who have already grown Kukla Masha tomatoes note that young plants may suffer from attacks by the Colorado potato beetle. You can eliminate the parasite using a soap solution.

Landing

The seeds do not need to be treated before planting, but you can soak them in a growth stimulant to improve germination. Planting begins in March.

An effective folk stimulant is melt water. The seeds are kept in it for 16-17 hours.

The soil is made up of equal parts of garden soil, lowland peat, humus or compost, as well as drainage, such as sawdust or sand. A glass of wood ash and mineral fertilizer (about 2 tsp of superphosphate or nitrophoska) are mixed into 10 kg of soil. Then they are disinfected by pouring a hot solution of potassium permanganate.

The seeds are planted 1-2 cm deep, moistened with a spray bottle and the boxes are covered with glass. Keep them warm at about +25-30 degrees and ventilate periodically. When more than half of the seeds have sprouted, remove the glass and transfer the seedlings to a well-lit windowsill. During the first three days they provide coolness of about 16 degrees, after that - +18-22 degrees.

Seedlings are picked at the stage of 2 full leaves. Harden off before transplanting into the greenhouse.

Reviews, opinions of experienced gardeners

Tomatoes have a good reputation, this can be understood by reading the following comments taken from one of the gardening forums for amateur gardeners:

I had never planted hybrids before, I thought that I wouldn’t get a decent result. A couple of years ago I saw such beautiful tomatoes from my neighbors that I decided to take a chance and try it. I chose “Doll Masha”, the result was “wow”! The fruits are abundant and fleshy, I advise everyone to plant them!
A year ago I ordered several hybrids at once, Mashenka was among them. I have planted tomatoes of this variety before, but I was not impressed. Now everything is completely different, the results are amazing! I will plant more.

F1 doll is at the top of the hit parade

There is, of course, subjectivity when evaluating tomatoes, but it is still possible to note the best varieties that receive positive ratings from summer residents. And one of them is the Kukla F1 tomato, early, unpretentious, and productive.

It belongs to the large group of determinate tomatoes; the stem has a growing point. Powerful bush, height - up to 70 cm, requires garter during fruiting period.

The leaves are medium sized, dark green in color. Simple inflorescences begin to form after 6-7 leaves. The fruits are round, slightly flattened on top, weighing 180-200 grams. When forming a cluster, fruits of 300-250 grams are obtained.

The skin is dense and glossy. Until the tomatoes are ripe, they are light green in color with a small spot near the stalk. When fully ripe, the fruits are pink-crimson. The pulp is fleshy, dense, with a good “tomato” taste. The aroma is felt, which makes the Kukla F1 hybrid similar to ordinary tomato varieties.

The main purpose of tomatoes is salads; small fruits are suitable for canning. In the marinade they do not lose their shape or crack.

I also make excellent juice, paste, and sauces from the fruits of the hybrid, so it is better to call it a universal tomato. Productivity - 9-10 kg can be harvested from one square meter.

They are grown in garden beds in the southern regions, and partly in the middle zone. In the regions of the North-West of the country, in Siberia, beyond the Urals, it is advisable to plant tomatoes in polycarbonate greenhouses and film shelters.

Experienced gardeners treat hybrids with lukewarmness, preferring varietal tomatoes to them. The reason is the mediocre taste of hybrid fruits and lack of aroma.

The Kukla tomato is not one of those tomatoes; its fruits, according to reviews, are tasty and aromatic. We note in the description other advantages and features of the variety:

early, 85-95 days, fruit ripening;
friendly return of tomatoes;
resistance to diseases (inherent at the genetic level);
low susceptibility to pest damage;
universal purpose of fruits;
excellent taste.

The hybrid is characterized by high productivity and large fruit. It has been in the State Register since 2006, recommended for the Volga-Vyatka region, but is successfully grown everywhere.

ON A NOTE! Pink tomatoes are considered sweeter and tastier than their red “relatives”.

However, the taste is largely determined by care, growing conditions, productivity - by the care of the tomato on the part of the summer resident.

The characteristics and description of the variety would be incomplete without its shortcomings, but the Doll has few of them:

the need for partial formation of the bush;
stepsoning.

Let us add that seeds for sowing are not taken from the fruits of the hybrid, so you will have to purchase seed material for each season. The costs are justified, so this can hardly be considered a serious drawback.

Why is there no ovary

Not enough light. Tomato bushes are very demanding of good lighting, especially indoors. With insufficient light, plants become stretched and thin. It is necessary to tie up the bushes and shape the crown.
Heat . At high temperatures, pollen in plants becomes sterile, which leads to the complete absence of ovaries. It is necessary to ventilate the room more often and monitor the air temperature.
The use of pesticides during the flowering period . Often chemicals are the reason for the lack of fruit. They kill pollen, which leads to complete sterilization of flowers.
