Main characteristics of the line

The raspberry miracle is classified into 3 series of 5 varieties. Tomatoes are grown both in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. They are actively used by vegetable growers and consumers for freshly prepared dishes and preservation.

General characteristics for all varieties of the line:

• weight of tomatoes – 100-500 g;
• fleshy core;
• some seeds in the middle;
• the peel is smooth and even;
• moderate ribbing;
• dry matter in high concentration.

These varieties are united by a deep crimson hue and high yield even with sudden changes in temperature and insufficient watering. The largest tomatoes appear where the lower leaves are located, medium and small fruits - in the upper part of the plant.

The high quality of vegetables is beyond doubt; the main thing is to follow the basic rules of planting, care, harvesting, transportation and storage.

Productivity and fruiting

If you follow the rules for growing the Raspberry miracle, you can harvest a good harvest every summer. During the season (90-100 days) you can collect 5-10 kg of fruits from one bush. This indicator is not significantly affected by weather conditions, including a sharp drop in air temperature.

The fruits weigh 100-500 g each, depending on the selected variety. The skin is dense and does not crack. A vegetable grower can safely count on a rich harvest; the main thing is to increase watering during the fruiting period.

Area of ​​application of fruits

Tomatoes are used fresh and processed. Thanks to their thick skin, they are stored in the refrigerator for a long time and become a useful ingredient in salads. Raspberry miracle is used for preservation: small fruits are rolled up whole or processed to produce juice, paste, vegetable salad, dressings for first courses and sauces.

Vegetable growers use this variety for personal consumption and put it up for sale. This is explained by the high yield: it’s enough for a family to eat the Raspberry Miracle and make a profit.

Resistance to diseases and pests

Raspberry miracle is immune to late blight (fungi) and has good immunity. But this does not mean that, like other plants, they do not need prevention. It is better to stock up on special anti-fungal products in advance to protect the tomato bushes and the entire garden as a whole.

To avoid infection, it is advisable to remove the lower leaves of tomatoes, promptly remove weeds from the area, and regularly loosen the soil to enrich it with oxygen. You cannot plant Raspberry Miracle in areas where potatoes, bell peppers, and eggplants previously grew.

When planting the Raspberry Miracle, make sure that there are no potatoes in the neighborhood, otherwise the yield indicators will drop significantly.

Characteristics

The variety gained such popularity among vegetable growers and buyers due to the amazing properties of its fruits:

• Big size. The weight of the fruit ranges from 200 to 600 grams, basically all tomatoes are close to the maximum.
• Crumbly, soft and juicy pulp with an incredibly sweet taste and strong aroma.
• Beautiful, smooth and eye-catching peel with its color, ribbed surface.

Rules for planting and growing

This tomato variety provides a rich harvest and quickly adapts to new climatic conditions in the southern lands and northern regions of Russia. With proper care, it bears fruit in any weather.

To get a strong and healthy plant, first plant the seeds, and then the seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse. The yield of the vegetable does not decrease depending on where it is grown.

In this video you will learn about the important features of growing Raspberry Miracle tomatoes in a greenhouse and open ground:

Seed preparation

After purchasing, open the package and carefully examine each grain. Remove spoiled seeds; they will not bear fruit anyway. Then prepare them for planting, following these rules:

• Irrigate the soil of the container with potassium permanganate (make a pink solution).
• Treat the seeds with Ecosil, Baikal EM-1.
• Dry the grains naturally.

Choose warm weather to plant seeds. The optimal period is from March 1 to March 10. This time may vary (from February to March) depending on the climatic conditions of the region.

Planting seeds for seedlings

To ensure that the seeds are taken and the seedlings do not disappear, first prepare the soil and container. Primary requirements:

• The soil is fertile and soft. It is better to choose a mixture of garden soil, peat, sand, humus, and compost from plant waste.
• The container is shallow but wide. After sowing the seeds, cover it with cling film and keep it in a warm place.

Planting seeds at home is done in the following sequence:

• Make not deep holes - 0.5-0.7 cm.
• Drop 20 seeds into each.
• Sprinkle no more than 1 cm of soil on top.
• Water thoroughly.
• Keep in a warm place at 18-25 degrees.

Moisten the soil daily with a spray bottle. The first leaves appear after 7-10 days.

Seedling care

When the first ovaries appear, remove weak and lifeless shoots. Observe the seedlings daily and trim them. As a result, there will be from 7 to 10 strong plants left in the container, which you can plant in separate pots or thin out so that there is a space of 10x10 cm between them.

To grow seedlings, observe the following conditions:

• Temperature regime . Maintain at 18-25 degrees.
• Increased humidity . Spray the plants 1-2 times a day.
• Good lighting. Place the container with seedlings on the south side of the apartment.

If the room is dominated by shadow, additionally use artificial lighting - lamps. Without light, seedlings grow poorly and wither, which subsequently negatively affects the yield.

Preparing the soil and transplanting seedlings

Prepare soil for seedlings in the fall. To prepare it you need sand, compost, and garden soil. Mix these components in equal proportions and store in the basement until the start of the season. Before sowing, water the soil with a pink solution of potassium permanganate or freeze it.

Transplanting seedlings is appropriate when the air temperature has stabilized and the likelihood of night frosts has already passed. If this rule is violated, the root system dies and the plant does not produce a harvest.

Sequence of actions when planting seedlings:

• Dig a hole to a depth of 12-15 cm.
• Place a dose of fertilizer.
• Water generously.
• Plant the seedling and at the same time place the stick vertically.
• Bury the seedlings with soil and water.
• After a week, tie the seedling to a stick.

Provide a distance between adjacent bushes - 60 cm, in rows - 70 cm.

Features of growing the variety

The main preparation for sowing begins in the fall, after harvesting. During this period, all remaining weeds and tops are removed. They dig to a depth of 20 cm and add 10 kg of manure mixed with 50 g of superphosphates and 400 g of wood ash per m2. Then the soil is dug up again to a depth of 10-15 cm. The plants are propagated by the seedling method. Sowing seeds for growing tomatoes in greenhouses is carried out in February, in open ground - in March.

Did you know? Every year in the Spanish city of Buñol, a mass tomato massacre called “La Tomatina” is held. Tourists come from all over the world to take part in the enchanting battle. During the event, several trucks filled with tomatoes are driven to the main square. Participants quickly rush to the cars behind

and start throwing them at each other.
The most important thing is
to crush the tomato before throwing it so as not to harm your opponents.

Microclimate

In order for the seedlings to sprout vigorously, it is necessary to maintain a certain microclimate in the room:

• air temperature – +25°C;
• soil moisture – 80%;
• air humidity – 60-70%;
• lighting before emergence - twilight;
• daylight hours after germination – at least 10 hours;
• air temperature after emergence – +20°C.

Seed sowing technology

First you need to prepare the soil mixture and containers for planting. For the “raspberry miracle” tomato, it is better to use common boxes. Additional replanting will moderate the growth of seedlings, which will help avoid overgrowing. The soil should be loose, with a neutral pH reaction.

You can take a universal mixture for nightshades or mix the soil yourself by combining:

• peat;
• leafy turf soil;
• river sand;
• compost.

Important! Unripe tomatoes contain large amounts of solanine. Before consumption, they must be processed (fried or canned), otherwise there is a high risk of serious poisoning. Solanine also accumulates in picked ripe fruits that are stored in the sun for a long time.

All ingredients are mixed in equal proportions and then poured with a solution of wood ash. Add 400 g of ash to 10 liters of water and boil for 5 minutes. After cooling, the soil mixture is placed in a box, the bottom of which is previously covered with a layer of expanded clay. This approach allows you to saturate the soil with nitrogen and disinfect it. Before sowing, the seeds must be treated with a root solution. The seed material is immersed in it for 2 hours, and then the floating seed is discarded.

The step-by-step instructions for sowing are as follows:

• make furrows 5 mm deep on the soil surface at a distance of 5 cm from each other;
• place the seeds in the furrows, observing a step of 5 cm;
• cover the seed with soil;
• Cover the surface of the box with film or transparent glass and put it in a semi-dark room.

Care during the seedling period

Before emergence, remove the cover daily to ventilate the soil. Moisten as necessary using a fine spray bottle with warm, settled water. From the moment the seedlings emerge, remove the cover and move the box to a well-lit room, but not in direct sunlight. When the sprouts form 2-4 leaves, pick them into separate containers. You can use tall plastic glasses at this stage. The “raspberry miracle” tomato variety quickly develops a large above-ground part, so when replanting, bury part of the main stem 3-4 cm into the ground.

Important! Fertilizer application at all stages is combined with watering, focusing on the amount of daily liquid. For example, in the morning 300 ml of mullein is added, in the evening 2.8-3 liters of water are poured into each well. Mineral fertilizing must be alternated with organic matter. Manure infusions can be used until the ovaries appear. Later they can be replaced with compost solution or minerals.

Watering is carried out on demand at the root. Water temperature is at least +18°C. 14 days after picking, they begin to feed the seedlings with a urea solution. For 10 liters of water you will need 30-40 g of the substance. The next feeding is carried out after 2 weeks. At this stage, organic compounds are used in the form of manure infusion. For 10 liters of water take 300 g of manure and 100 g of wood ash.

3-4 weeks before picking, hardening is carried out on a permanent place. This is necessary to increase the resistance of plants to the influence of the external environment. In the room where the seedlings are located, the air temperature is gradually reduced to +12°C. Then they begin to expose the plants outdoors to direct sunlight. At the time of transplantation, the seedlings must be outside for at least 20 hours. Immediately before transplanting, the seedlings are left for a day in the prepared place.

Planting seedlings in the ground

Seedlings begin to be transplanted into the ground at the age of 60-65 days. Plants can be planted in greenhouses in April, in open ground in May. The procedure is carried out using the transshipment method while preserving the earthen coma. A week before planting, the soil is shed with a 1% solution of copper sulfate or Bordeaux mixture. After 2-3 days, 10 kg of compost and sand are added to each m2. Then aeration is carried out to a depth of 15 cm.

Did you know? Green tomatoes will ripen faster if you store them next to apples. They emit ethylene, which allows you to create the necessary microclimate for ripening.

Before planting, level the area and mark the holes. A distance of 60-70 cm is maintained between the rows, and 50-60 cm between the bushes. Dig planting holes 25 cm deep. Fill them with 2 liters of ash solution. When the moisture is absorbed, transplantation is carried out. A couple of hours before transplanting, the seedlings are moistened abundantly.

Plants are taken out of containers and placed in holes, deepening the main stem by 5 cm. This is necessary to moderate growth and help the plants form a powerful root. The soil in the holes is compacted, and then 1 liter of water at room temperature is poured in.

Tomato care

The plant grows quickly. Leave 2 stems at a time, and cut off the remaining shoots as they appear. To increase productivity, do not forget about the standard set: regular watering, weeding, mineral fertilizing, weed removal, preventive measures against diseases and harmful insects.

Basic rules of care:

• Moisten the soil with drip irrigation.
• Loosen the soil after pre-moistening.
• Choose superphosphates as a top dressing.
• Fertilize the soil with manure, peat, and wood ash.
• Tie the stems to the trellis and other supports.

Watering tomatoes

For Raspberry Miracle tomatoes, use the drip irrigation method. Equip a tape system that will constantly maintain the moisture the root system needs for accelerated growth.

During the fruiting period, tomatoes need a lot of water - about 3.5 liters per 1 square meter. m. If they grow in a greenhouse, water them generously in the morning, in sunny weather. When growing outdoors, it is better to postpone watering to the evening so that the water does not evaporate quickly.

Weeding

To increase aeration rates, surface loosening of the soil is necessary after each watering. Do not allow a crust to form, otherwise the supply of oxygen to the soil will be disrupted and fruit growth and ripening will slow down.

Immediately after planting and for the next 7 days, loosen the soil to a depth of 12 cm, then no more than 8 cm. This is important so as not to damage the overgrown root system. The soil at the base of the bush should always be fluffy.

Mulching the soil (surface coating of the soil with special compounds) will help improve humidity and temperature.

Top dressing

For fertilizer, choose special complex preparations, tree resin, peat, humus, and manure. As a top dressing, dissolve dry superphosphate in water according to the instructions, which is especially important during the fruiting period (to increase productivity).

Bush formation

Move the bushes away from each other, do not plant them too closely, otherwise they will lack warmth and light. Tie tall bushes to a support during active growth throughout the growing season.

Timely pinching, pinching the growing point and forming bushes also increases the yield. It is better to immediately tear off the lower leaves close to the ground. This will enhance plant growth and prevent the development of fungus.

Harvest and storage

You can start harvesting in the summer months (June to August). The first fruits are the largest and go to sale. In the future, small tomatoes are used by gardeners for preservation. At a temperature of 13 degrees, the entire crop is harvested, as the taste deteriorates.

If the fruits are ripe, they can be stored for up to 3 days without compromising their integrity. If tomatoes need to ripen, they are kept in a warm, dry place for up to 7 days. Seeds for future seedlings are selected from large specimens. Shelf life – up to 10 years.

Diseases and harmful insects

Tomatoes are resistant to late blight. Plants can be harmed by:

• Dry brown spotting. Leaves are corroded by brown spots.
• Apex rot. The tops of unripe fruits begin to rot.
• Brown spot. Brown spots appear on the underside of the leaves; the plaque is difficult to get rid of.

Tomatoes can also suffer from whiteflies and tomato moths, and plant aphids and spider mites even leave a velvety coating on the leaves. You can destroy microbes with complex preparations, but it is better to take preventive measures in a timely manner.
