Growing rules
The variety can be grown both in open and protected ground. It is worth starting sowing work at the end of March. To grow tomatoes, you should use the seedling method.
As soon as the plants have 1 true leaf, you should pick. To do this, you need to prepare separate containers and carefully transplant the plants into them.
Important! Tomatoes have a negative attitude towards picking. If it is possible to use separate cups for planting, you should definitely do so. Many summer residents use peat tablets.
You can plant seedlings in open ground no earlier than the end of May. Plants do not like sudden temperature changes. It is worth making sure that frost does not set in.
Before planting, plants must be prepared. For this purpose, hardening should be carried out.
You also need to form 1 stem and remove the remaining parts. A few days after planting, the seedlings need to be tied up. Such simple procedures will allow you to get a high-quality harvest.
Experienced summer residents believe that it is worth planting seedlings in May only under a film. Otherwise, the plants will die.
