Perhaps every summer resident or gardener has at least once wondered what variety of tomatoes to plant for open ground on his plot. Not only the quality and size of the future harvest depends on this, but also how much time the plants will have to be devoted until they begin to bear fruit. However, with the help of certain tips, you can choose a variety that will be ideal for growing in certain conditions, and at the same time will not take a lot of effort from a person.
Criteria for selecting tomatoes for open ground
To ensure that the future harvest does not keep you waiting, it is recommended to select a variety for cultivation that suits the preferences of the gardener, as well as the climate conditions in which the planting is carried out. Here are the criteria that will be convenient for you to follow:
1. Zoning. The main condition that is observed by both experienced and novice gardeners. Breeders approach the creation of hybrids with great responsibility, so varieties differ in certain preferences for climatic conditions. Some tomatoes grow in the north, others in the south. Some people like dry weather, others prefer constant rain.
2. Place for landing. The concept of “open ground” is quite broad. For example, some gardeners plant seedlings in open areas where the wind constantly blows. Professionals prefer to create artificial protection from natural elements. In addition, it is important to take into account the acidity of the soil, as well as its structure, since this directly determines the quality of the crop.
3. Ripening period. A point that should also be considered first. Tomato is a light-loving crop, so if you choose a variety for planting in the fall that will grow for too long, you may encounter the problem that many flowers simply will not set fruit. In addition, it is important to plan what time of year to harvest the most crops in order to sell them at a favorable price.
4. Availability of time for care. Well, the last point is whether the gardener has the opportunity to tinker with seedlings, constantly tie up stems, remove shoots, and so on. Most tomatoes require a lot of care, but there are also varieties that forgive novice gardeners gross mistakes and will not wither if he suddenly forgets to water or feed the bushes on time.
Well, the fact for what purpose it is planned to grow the crop deserves special mention. For twisting, varieties that produce small but tasty fruits are suitable. For sale, it is best to plant a crop that produces tomatoes from 250 to 300 grams (the optimal size for sale). Well, if you plan to process the entire harvest into juice or paste, then you should give preference to those varieties that produce large berries.
