IMPORTANT: The plant bears fruit equally well both in greenhouses and in unprotected soil.

The height of the bush is 110-130 cm, the foliage is average. Tomatoes are resistant to major diseases and insect pests.

Description of the fruit of the variety:

The average size;
Round, slightly flattened shape;
Ripe fruits have a rich bright red color;
Number of seed chambers – 3-4 pieces;
The dry matter content is about 5%;
Good keeping quality;
High taste qualities;
Juiciness;
Tomatoes can withstand transportation well over long distances;
Weight 100-150 grams.

REFERENCE: First harvest tomatoes can weigh from 200 to 350 grams.

Planting in the ground and caring for tomatoes

By the time of transplantation to a permanent place at the age of 35-40 days, the seedlings reach 40 cm in height, have from 7 to 9 leaves and a powerful root system. By this time the soil should warm up to +15 C°.

Two weeks before this date, the seedlings begin to harden: the boxes are taken out into the fresh air, increasing the residence time every day.

In this way, the tomatoes gradually adapt to other conditions and do not experience severe stress during transplantation. Two days before transplanting, the plants are left outside overnight.

Before planting tomato bushes, the soil is saturated with nutrients. To do this, green manure is sown in early spring. Shortly before planting begins, they are dug up. Green manure accelerates the growth and expansion of green mass of tomatoes, making the land more fruitful. During digging, ash and nitrogen-containing fertilizers are added to the soil.

Next, prepare holes corresponding to the size of the seedlings. They are watered with water. The plants are carefully removed from the cups and placed in the holes. Cover the top with soil and water again.

Tomato Glacier needs shaping. The ovary is formed after the fifth internode. All foliage below the first ovary is gradually removed, leaving a small stump. This procedure will provide the ripening fruits with a sufficient amount of moisture and nutrients.

After pruning, to prevent fungal diseases, the plants are sprayed with Furacilin.

Growing tomatoes

The “Lednik” f1 variety is characterized by a seedling growing method. In order to obtain strong and healthy seedlings, a number of certain rules should be followed.

How to prepare seeds?

Basic recommendations for preparing seed material:

Select whole, large seeds without visible deformations;
Fill wide containers with pre-prepared soil;
Treat the seeds with special growth stimulants.

Sowing seed material

Basic Rules:

Sowing seeds to a depth of at least 1.5-2 cm;
After planting, cover the future seedlings with thin glass or durable film;
Perform regular watering;

REFERENCE: The soil for planting seeds must be fed with mineral fertilizers or organic matter.

Do not forget to feed the planted seeds at least twice;
Ensure a constant temperature in the room with seedlings.

After the first shoots appear, plants should be provided with constant artificial or natural lighting.

Rules for planting seedlings

A week before planting seedlings, it is recommended to harden them. To do this, containers with seedlings are taken outside into fresh air.

IMPORTANT: Hardening begins at 30 minutes and gradually increases the time the bushes stay outside to two hours.

When two permanent leaves appear, the seedling needs to be picked.

To obtain a high yield and better growth of Glacier tomatoes, f1 bush should be formed into 2 or 3 stems.

Bush care

The varietal tomato is unpretentious in care, so even a novice gardener or farmer can cope with its cultivation. To get a good result, it is recommended to follow a number of the following measures:

Watering the plants with warm water in the morning or evening as needed;
Regular weeding of beds to remove weeds;

IMPORTANT : You should beware of diseases that develop if the care regimen is not followed. To avoid the occurrence of these diseases, you need to regularly loosen the soil and not exceed the recommended watering rates.

Loosening the soil under tomato bushes;
Tying the stems;
Establishing reliable support for the bush;
Regular fertilizing using complex fertilizers.

Sowing and growing seedlings

In any climatic conditions, it is best to grow tomatoes in seedlings. This will require planting boxes of shallow depth. They are filled with fertile soil with a loose structure. As a rule, it consists of:

ordinary turf or garden soil;
clean sand;
peat;
humus;
a small amount of ash.

The optimal acidity level for tomatoes is 5.5-6.5. To find out its level in the soil, indicator test strips are used. In case of large deviations, the acidity is adjusted to the recommended levels.

To grow seedlings, you can use ready-made soil. It has the necessary acidity and does not require preparation.

Glacier tomato seeds are sown in early March. To protect seedlings from viral diseases in the initial stages of growth and development, seed material is treated with potassium permanganate. For this procedure, you will need a glass of clean, settled water in which 1 gram of the drug is dissolved. The seeds are placed in a fabric bag and dipped in the prepared solution for 20 minutes.

The seedling boxes are filled with soil and watered with water that has settled at room temperature. Seeds are sown to a depth of no more than 2 cm and sprinkled with soil. The soil is moistened with warm water with the addition of the biostimulator Kornevin. Standard proportions for the first watering: 1 gram of the drug per liter of water.

To create a greenhouse effect, the seedlings are covered with film. The greenhouse is ventilated daily.

Fruitful cultivation of seeds is possible at a stable temperature of at least +21 C°. As soon as the first shoots appear on the surface of the earth, the film is removed.

Seedlings are planted at the stage of 2-3 leaves into separate containers.

Diseases and pests

The “Glacier” f1 variety is distinguished by very high immunity to most diseases. In rare cases, the plant may become infected with root rot. This disease is fought in the following ways:

Loosening the soil;
Mulching beds;
Reducing watering the land.

If tomatoes are grown in greenhouses, ventilation measures should be taken.

Variety "Glacier" f1 can be attacked by the following insect pests:

Melon aphid;
Colorado beetle;
Thrips;
Garden cutworm;
Greenhouse whitefly.

Pest control methods are divided into chemical and biological. The following drugs are used to kill insects:

Bison;
Prestige;
Confidor.

Biological control methods include:

Regular weed removal;
Collection of Colorado potato beetle larvae and adults by hand.

Popular varieties of tomatoes

Most gardeners know which varieties of crops to plant and which ones should not be planted, but the desire for experiments and new discoveries pushes them to purchase unfamiliar plants. Thanks to the general experience of gardeners, as well as sales statistics of certain varieties, the most popular types of garden plants have appeared. There are similar statistics among tomatoes.

Varieties with red fruits

The most popular type of tomato is red. Even novice gardeners are familiar with them; more than one generation of summer residents have been growing them. Among these garden regulars there are varieties both for greenhouses and for open ground:

Miracle of the Earth . Characterized as the most excellent variety by both gardeners and breeders. The fruits have a fleshy texture, do not crack, and are perfectly stored. You should expect an average yield from the variety, about a bucket of fruits per bush. It reaches a height of up to 1.5 meters. The main problem is the presence of many fakes, so it is better to purchase seeds from trusted suppliers.
Gina . Mid-season variety, berries are quite large in size from 150 to 250 grams. The bushes themselves are low, reaching 0.8 meters, and do not require tying or shaping. Tomatoes grow in a round, even shape and have dense flesh and skin, which allows them to be stored for a very long time. The species has amazing productivity, up to 10 kg from 3 bushes.
Appetizing . Bushes up to 1 meter tall. The harvest is large, up to 350 grams, ribbed, and has a rich sugar taste. The pulp of the fruit is distinguished by its density and contains a lot of juice. It is especially popular among residents of the middle zone.
Bull's heart . It gained its popularity a long time ago for its amazing yield: the average weight of the fruit is about half a kilogram, and cultivation does not require much effort. The bushes grow about 1.7 m in height, and therefore require support or garters. From one such plant you can get about 2 large buckets of tomatoes. Miracle of the earth Gina Appetizing Bull's heart Sweet bunch Nevsky De barao
Sweet bunch . The name speaks for itself, the harvest is very sweet, collected from clusters - up to 40 small specimens from one branch. The species demonstrates excellent resistance to all kinds of diseases and, given the size of the fruits of 40 grams, a fairly high yield.

Yellow color

Yellow tomatoes are considered truly exotic, despite this, and among them there are leaders in popularity for their high qualities and performance.

These species acquire their color due to the rich content of provitamin A, which provides invaluable support in the fight against cancer of the genitourinary system.

By the way, another great advantage of yellow tomatoes over red ones is their low calorie content.

Popular for the Moscow region

The Moscow region, by its geographical affiliation, belongs to central Russia, therefore the varieties need to be selected accordingly. Frost-resistant species for planting in open ground feel great here. They tolerate sudden frosts well and, with proper care, produce a wonderful harvest.

Breeders do not stand still in their experiments, so for a long time there have been varieties that differ not only in climatic characteristics, but also those that are suitable for a particular soil.

The following representatives of tomatoes are becoming increasingly popular in the Moscow region:

White filling Sultan F1 Fitous

White filling . The most magnificent early low-growing variety. Feels great both in greenhouse conditions and outdoors.
Sultan F. The tomato is of Dutch origin, but oddly enough, it feels great on the plots of gardeners near Moscow.
Fitous . An excellent mid-early variety for central Russia. The first harvest can already be harvested 3-3.5 months after planting.

Most disease resistant

As a rule, the most stable and disease-free plant will be the one that is regularly cared for and protected from diseases in every possible way. Only increased attention will ensure maximum health for a particular tomato.

Bull heart red

Thanks to breeders, there are also tomatoes that are very unpretentious, and even in the absence of regular care from the gardener, these representatives of garden crops feel great and perfectly resist all sorts of diseases on their own.

Miracle of the Earth;
Bull's Heart;
Sweet bunch;
Nevsky;
Slav;
Golden heart;
Radunitsa;
Yellow giant.

These varieties are the most unpretentious, and even left to the mercy of fate, they continue to delight with an unprecedented harvest.

Best early

The popularity of early varieties is due to the problematic nature of farming associated with the peculiarities of the Russian climate.

Early and ultra-early varieties include those tomatoes that produce their first harvest earlier than 100 days after sowing; among them are:

Golden heart;
Nevsky;
Explosion;
Gina;
Alpha.

These are some of the most popular selections with early yields, but by no means all of them.

Gardeners' opinion

Good day! Neighbors at their summer cottage recommended the Glacier tomato variety. I have never seen this type before. Survived the cool summer in St. Petersburg very well. Productivity exceeded expectations. From 1 sq. meters of planting, 28 kilograms of berries were collected. Resistance to low temperatures, unpretentiousness and good taste have brought the tomato to first place. Next summer I plan to create 4 beds. Ripe berries are suitable for canning and pickling for the winter. I recommend!

Anastasia Valeryanovna, 54 years old

I advise all residents of northern Russia to buy Glacier tomato seeds. It can withstand low temperatures, bears fruit consistently and does not require special care. It is important to tie up the bushes and install support, otherwise you won’t get a good harvest. The variety is not demanding in terms of care and withstands most diseases. Ripe tomatoes are very sweet and juicy. They tolerate transportation well and are stored for a long time; you can pamper yourself with fresh berries until mid-October. I didn’t find any cons for myself.
