- good taste;
- ease of care;
- unpretentiousness;
- the fruits tolerate transportation well and do not crack;
- same size tomatoes.
Minuses:
No significant deficiencies were found.
Features of cultivation and storage
The compact bush does not require pinching. It does not have to be tied to a support.
Up to 6-8 plants should be placed per 1 square meter.
The Riddle variety is suitable for growing both in greenhouses and in open ground.
The harvested crop does not crack or lose its presentation, and can easily be transported over long distances.
Planting and care
Before growing a Riddle tomato, the soil must be fertilized in advance. In the fall, manure is applied to the garden bed, and in the spring, mineral fertilizers are applied: superphosphate, saltpeter and sodium sulfate. They are mixed in equal proportions.
Tomato seeds are sown for seedlings at the end of March.
Self-collected seed must be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate, and then briefly soaked in a solution of a growth stimulator. The soil should be light, but nutritious and well fertilized. It is prepared from the following components:
- garden soil;
- river sand;
- peat;
- a little superphosphate;
- some wood ash.
The prepared mixture is also poured with a solution of potassium permanganate or calcined in an oven. If the seeds and soil were purchased at the store, these procedures are not required.
The grains are buried 1 cm, making the distance between the grooves 2-3 cm
Sprinkle with earth, carefully spray with a spray bottle or water with a spoon. The boxes are covered with film or glass and placed in a warm place until germination - +23-25 degrees
When the sprouts appear, the covering is removed, the boxes are placed on a lighted windowsill and the temperature is reduced to +18 for a week. If daylight hours are short, you need to illuminate the seedlings with a lamp.
When 2 true leaves appear, the seedlings dive.
Bushes can be planted in open ground when the risk of frost has passed. The nights must already be warm, otherwise plant growth will slow down. The soil should warm up to +16 degrees. Two weeks before planting, the bushes need to be hardened off by taking them out into the air during the day.
Water with warm water, preferably in the evenings. The soil is regularly loosened, mulched with hay or straw to prevent drying out, weeds are pulled out and bushes are treated against pests.
Feed the plants 3-5 times per season. The first time - one and a half to two weeks after planting in the ground. For 10 liters of water use 10-20 g of ammonium nitrate. When the tomatoes bloom, add manure with azofoska (20 g of the drug per 10 liters of manure), after which they are watered with mullein solution at intervals of 2 weeks. You can also use inorganic fertilizers - ammonium nitrate (15 g per 10 l of water) and potassium sulfate (25 g per 10 l).
Tomato Aurora F1
Ultra-early tomato hybrid of Russian selection for open ground.
The bush is determinate, low-growing (up to 60-70 cm in height), requires tying to a support and moderate pinching. The leaves are dark green, loose, medium in size, the foliage of the bush is weak. The plant is unpretentious, is distinguished by its early harvest yield, resistance to Alternaria, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and most other diseases.
Ripening period is 75-85 days. Productivity 3-5 kg per plant.
The fruits are aligned, round, slightly ribbed, bright red, weighing 100-120 g, set together, and ripen simultaneously. The pulp is juicy, dense, fleshy. The purpose is universal. Transportability and keeping quality are excellent.
From the reviews of summer residents: “very productive, I’ve been planting for many years”, “I really liked the tomato, especially its unpretentiousness and ease of care”, “I was very pleased with the early rich harvest”, “the taste is rather weak, but the harvest is good, perfect for a salad” , “I was satisfied with the taste and yield, it was enough for a salad and for baking.”
How to plant and care for a plant
Tomatoes are grown in seedlings, the seeds are sown 55-60 days before planting in a permanent place. The main thing is to take into account the characteristics of the region in which the planting is taking place.
For strong seedlings you need to do the following:
- Dive. This is seating in separate containers. The seedlings are getting larger.
- Feeding. Preferably at least 2 times before transplanting into the ground.
- Compliance with light and thermal conditions.
- Hardening. Getting used to sunlight, wind and other features of open air. This is done 1-2 weeks before transplantation. The plants are taken out for 20 minutes, gradually increasing the time to 8 hours.
After the plants are transferred to a place of permanent growing season, they need to be cared for. In addition to weeding, loosening, hilling and mulching, the plant requires formation. It is best to leave 1 stem to increase yield. Stepchildren are removed in the usual way, familiar even to novice gardeners.
You can water using a drip irrigation system; conventional watering uses warm water. And the process itself is carried out in the evening.
Feeding:
- During the flowering period.
- During the period of active fruiting.
The minimum amount of fertilizing is indicated; complex preparations are used.
Tomato Pani Yana - description and characteristics of the variety
Reference
The bush grows on average up to 50 centimeters in height. During the growing season there is no need to remove the stepsons. Branches with fruits should be tied up; the central stem does not need supports or additional fixation. Up to 5 inflorescences are formed on the entire bush, which later turn into large and mature fruits. The bush has good immunity and tolerates many common diseases.
The round fruit has a bright light color and a pronounced tomato taste, dense pulp and hard skin. Finger vegetable weight - 200 grams. When overripe on the bush, the fruits do not crack, but become softer inside. They are very tasty when eaten fresh. Suitable for preparing salads, hot dishes and marinating.
The given species tolerates open ground well in warm regions. In cool and unstable places, it requires additional shelter in the form of greenhouses or greenhouses.
Diseases and pests
"Pani Yana" can avoid the appearance of many common diseases that appear at the end of the age, since it is an early ripening variety.
Incursions by aphids and cicadas are possible. Timely cutting of plant foliage with Actofit, Fas or Karbofos preparations will prevent pest attacks.
Splashdown
Tomato sowing occurs two months before the seedlings are transferred to the soil, approximately in mid-March. Before placing the seeds in the ground, they are disinfected in a manganese solution in the camp for 10–15 minutes. You can use drugs against fungi “Fitosporin” and “Baktofit”. To ensure germination, seeds are soaked in Zircon solution for 6-8 hours. All information about dilutions of substances is written on the packages.
The best temperature for seedlings is 23-25 degrees. Humidity - 60–65%. Sowing should be done in large boxes or special trays for seedlings, which can be found in any garden department of large hypermarkets or specialized stores. Place the seed on top at a depth of 1–2 centimeters. Then sprinkle it with dry soil.
Seedlings are watered once every 2-3 days, but not more often, so that the roots do not rot. With the appearance of the second leaf, the plant is picked, placing the entire circle of tomatoes in a separate peat pot or other container. Seedlings should be transferred to open ground when the ground has warmed up well.
With ambition, prepare the soil for planting in advance. To do this, add organic fertility granules in the form of humus and peat. To make the soil less acidic, you need to add ash to it. Planting pattern: 70*30 centimeters per square meter.
Incorporating plants at the right time will help you get the maximum benefit in the form of tasty, ripe tomatoes. Fertility granules such as potassium, fluorine, boron, iron, and magnesium are added. In sunny weather, the butt is watered once every 5 days, in rainy weather - less often. The top of the ground is sprinkled with dry grass or sawdust. Thus, less moisture evaporates and humidification can be done less frequently.
To make the fruits ripen faster and delight agronomists with their size and bright color, you can use the growth stimulator “Epin”. This drug not only helps the plant multiply faster and the fruits ripen, it also increases the immunity of the crop.
Each bunch can ripen from 4 to 6 large bulk tomatoes. Many fruits can be small in size and weigh around 150 grams, while some people are larger - up to 250 grams. There are few seeds inside, which makes the inner pulp of the fruit very pleasant and tender for hunting.
Tomatoes are not susceptible to cracking even during heavy rains. They always keep their shape, and this is one of the important indicators of this culture. Once picked, ripe fruits can be stored for up to two weeks.
Agronomists' opinions
Most gardeners agree beyond words on the great advantages of this variety. Many people are happy to plant it in open ground, in professional greenhouses and in greenhouses on top of their personal plots. Huge fruits are one of the positive indicators of “Pani Yana”. Suitable for preparing a huge number of dishes and, most importantly, for canning in the winter.
Summer residents especially like the neat presentation, which is characteristic of all tomatoes. Thanks to their fleshy interior and thick skin, vegetables can easily be stored and transported. All these qualities make it possible to avoid growing this species on an industrial scale.
“Pani Yana” will appeal to professionals and amateurs alike for its small bush size, large and tasty fruits and ease of care.
Tomato Sanka
An ultra-early tomato variety of Russian selection for open ground.
The bush is determinate, low-growing (up to 40-50 cm in height), compact, does not require pinching. The leaves are green, medium in size, the foliage of the bush is good. The plant is unpretentious, moderately resistant to diseases, has increased cold resistance, and is resistant to low light.
Can be grown without seedlings. Ripening period is 75-90 days. Productivity 2-3.5 kg per plant.
The fruits are round-flat, slightly ribbed, deep red in color, weighing 80-120 g, set together and ripen simultaneously. The pulp is tasty, very fleshy, with a moderate content of dry matter, the peel is dense. The purpose is universal. Transportability is excellent.
From the reviews of summer residents: “a good tomato, unpretentious, productive”, “satisfied with the result, the tomatoes are fleshy, tasty”, “very early ripening, every last bunch ripens”, “abundant harvest even in our north”, “maybe for some There’s not enough smell or sweetness, but the harvest is an absolute delight!”
Cultivation care
There is nothing complicated about caring for tomatoes. The Ermak variety does not require dressing or shaping. The main conditions are compliance with watering and fertilizing standards. Water in the evening with warm water. Gardeners recommend installing drip irrigation, so the moisture goes directly to the roots.
Feed with organic matter or complex mineral fertilizers. Alternating them with each other, fertilize at least 3 times. The first time is 7-10 days after transplantation, then during flowering and fruiting.
Loosening the soil will provide oxygen access to the roots and retain moisture in the soil longer. Removing weeds will retain most of the nutrients in the soil and help avoid the development of diseases and pest attacks.

Description of the Ermak F1 tomato and growing the hybrid in open ground
Tomato Ermak F1 was bred by Soviet breeders. The variety has been approved for use in the North Caucasus since 1982. The hybrid is intended for cultivation in open areas. Its fruits can be stored in a cool room for 35-40 days. The tomato tolerates long-term transportation well, so trading companies willingly buy the hybrid crop from the population.
Some information about the plant and its fruits
The characteristics and description of the variety are as follows:
- The first fruits are obtained 115-120 days after germination.
- The height of tomato bushes ranges from 0.35 to 0.55 m. They grow an average number of branches. With moderate to large number of green leaves.
- The leaf is of medium size. It is shaped like potato leaves.
- The plant has inflorescences of intermediate and simple types. They have a loose consistency. From 4 to 6 flowers appear on each inflorescence. The first inflorescence is formed between 7 and 9 leaves, and all others - after 2-3 leaves. This hybrid has a stalk without articulations.
- The fruit is shaped like a slightly flattened egg. It has increased strength, and the weight of the berry ranges from 60-75 g. The surface of the tomato is painted in orange and red tones.
- A special feature of the Ermak hybrid is its average resistance to diseases such as late blight, root-knot nematode, and septoria.
As practice shows, one m² of bed can produce from 4.5 to 7.5 kg of fruit if all agricultural technology requirements are met. The hybrid is used to prepare salads and consumed fresh. During industrial processing, high-quality juice, paste, and ketchup are made from tomatoes. Some housewives preserve berries for the winter.
Although the hybrid is intended for open ground, it can be bred in central Russia and northern regions in greenhouses.
Sowing seeds and caring for plantings
In the southern regions of the country, you can sow planting material directly onto permanent soil. This is done in March, if there is no danger of a sharp drop in temperature. But farmers point out that with direct sowing, the yield will be less than when using seedlings.
The seed material is treated with hydrogen peroxide and then sown in boxes with soil consisting of peat, sand and soil from the beds. After about 5 days, the first shoots appear. It is recommended to feed them with manure, chicken droppings or nitrogen fertilizers.
After transplanting, the seedlings are watered with warm water and then sprayed with preparations that eliminate bacterial or fungal infection. If there is a danger of cold snap, it is recommended to cover the plants with warm material. It is removed approximately 2 weeks after transplanting the seedlings to the beds.
Caring for hybrid bushes
It is recommended to water the plants no more than once a week. If the weather is hot or there is a threat of drought, then during irrigation its frequency is adjusted in accordance with climatic conditions. When it rains, you should water the bushes no more than once in 15 days.
Do not allow moisture to get on the leaves; in sunny weather the bushes will receive serious burns. The soil under the tomatoes should be slightly moist, otherwise the roots of the plants will begin to rot. The hybrid should be watered early in the morning before the sun rises. To do this, use warm water that has been left in the sun.
Tomato feeding is done 3 times throughout the entire season. First, seedlings are fed 10 days after transferring the seedlings to permanent soil. This is necessary for plants to gain green mass. To do this, use manure, peat or ammonium nitrate. Other nitrogen mixtures can be used.
After the ovaries appear, the tomato needs to be fed with a mixture of potassium and nitrogen fertilizers. After the formation of the first fruits on the branches, it is recommended to enrich the hybrid with phosphorus and potassium mixtures with a small addition of nitrogen fertilizers.
Loosening the soil is done 2 times a week. This improves ventilation of the root system, allowing the plant to receive the oxygen it needs for development along with useful substances. Gas exchange can also be improved by mulching the soil.
It is advisable to weed the garden beds every 2 weeks. This will save the bushes from some diseases transmitted from weeds to cultivated plants. This procedure also destroys some of the garden pests that first settle on weeds and then move on to cultivated vegetables.
The opinion of summer residents regarding Ermak tomatoes
The presence of positive reviews works better than the most thoughtful advertising from the manufacturer. It is gardeners that the vegetable grower trusts most.
Valentina Georgievna: “I planted Ermak on the advice of a friend. I didn't regret it. The tomatoes taste excellent, the hybrid is unpretentious and disease-resistant. I like it very much and will continue to grow it.”
The versatility of Ermak tomatoes makes the hybrid popular among housewives and summer residents.
Tomato Ermak F1 was bred by Soviet breeders. The variety has been approved for use in the North Caucasus since 1982. The hybrid is intended for cultivation in open areas. Its fruits can be stored in a cool room for 35-40 days. The tomato tolerates long-term transportation well, so trading companies willingly buy the hybrid crop from the population.

Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Giraffe
Tomatoes are one of the most common vegetables among domestic gardeners. It is rare to meet a summer resident who does not grow this crop on his plot.
Description of tomato variety Giraffe
The tomato variety Giraffe is a tall, interdeterminate variety. The maximum height of the plant trunk can reach up to 2 meters. As you might guess, this is why this variety is called Giraffe. The plant also needs staking and removal of side shoots. It is recommended to form a tomato into 1 stem. This way the harvest will be plentiful.
Description of the variety cannot do without indicating the timing of fruit ripening. Tomatoes of this variety are late varieties. Mass ripening of the crop begins in the second half of August. The tomato is intended for cultivation in open ground in the south of Russia, and in greenhouses and greenhouses in the northern and central regions. The main characteristic of this variety is to grow seedlings preferably on light, fertile soils.
Characteristics of tomato fruits
Description of the characteristics of the Giraffe tomato fruit:
- The shape of the fruit is oval;
- The weight of one ripe tomato can reach from 55 to 150 grams;
- The pulp and skin are yellow in color, with a small number of seeds inside;
- The tomatoes are quite dense inside;
- After harvesting, the fruits can be stored for a long time, until December;
- The taste of the fruit is ordinary, mediocre;
- Tomatoes are not suitable for fresh consumption; they are best used for processed products.
Description of advantages and disadvantages
Like any other variety, the Giraffe tomato has not only advantages, but also disadvantages.
Advantages of tomato:
- After harvesting, vegetables can be stored for a very long time (more than 2 months);
- Unpretentious in care;
- Can be grown in open ground, in greenhouses and greenhouse shelters;
- Suitable for preservation in its entirety.
Flaws:
- The fruits begin to ripen quite late;
- The bushes are tall and require staking to a vertical support;
- The fruits do not have a good taste and are not suitable for fresh consumption or for preparing summer salads.
Features of cultivating Giraffe tomatoes in a greenhouse
Most gardeners prefer to cultivate crops in open ground. But sometimes you have to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse, and, therefore, caring for the bushes in such conditions will be more thorough. First of all, you need to think about how pollination will occur indoors. To do this, you can install several hives. When the flowering and growing season ends, the hives will have to be removed.
It is also important to observe the temperature regime. If the temperature is too low (below +15), the ovaries will not form, and if it exceeds +30 degrees, they will become sterile
The optimal temperature is +16-+19 degrees. To increase yield, you can tap the bushes with a light wooden stick. Movements should be smooth, not sharp and fast. If you hit the trunk too hard, all the pollen may fall off too quickly and there will be no ovaries at all. When the first brush with ovaries appears on the plant, stop tapping.
Another effective method is hilling the bushes. The first hilling is carried out two weeks after planting the seedlings in a permanent place. The second hilling is after 16 days. This way the root system will be more powerful and the plant itself will grow better.
Periodically, mineral and organic fertilizers must be added to the soil. After planting the seedlings in a permanent place, they are fed with fertilizers containing nitrogen. This will promote active growth of the bushes. During the growing season - phosphorus-containing and potassium fertilizers. Phosphorus and potassium have a positive effect on the process of ovary formation in tomatoes. Plants can also be fed with mullein, wood ash or manure.
Tomato varieties for polycarbonate or glass greenhouses
To get the first harvest as quickly as possible, which will last for a long time, greenhouses made of glass or polycarbonate are most often used.
Such structures that protect against various climatic anomalies are much more reliable than the same film shelters, but they do not create the effect of a constantly heating greenhouse, which is very harmful to tomatoes in hot weather.
Growing in closed ground is possible for both low-growing and indeterminate varieties, but it is still believed that tall tomatoes make it possible to achieve the most rational redistribution of space and high yields due to long-term stage-by-stage fruiting and fruit ripening.
About
Description of the tomato variety Tmag 666 f1, characteristics and methods of cultivation
Another new variety has already earned positive reviews from agronomists; it was bred by breeders from the Chinese company Sakata. The hybrid is suitable for growing over large areas and has excellent taste. Let's consider the description of the variety and growing conditions in the middle climate zone.
Hybrid characteristics
Tomato hybrid f1 Tmag 666 f1 is an early-ripening determinate type of cultivation, suitable for cultivation in open areas, in greenhouses and at home. The bush is compact in size, low, powerful stems with a lot of leaves. Does not require stepsoning.
The fruits are dense, round - the average weight of one tomato is 260-300 grams. The color is red, bright. The stalk lacks a green spot. Ripening fruits are perfectly protected by leaves from ultraviolet rays.
The variety is resistant to diseases such as Fusarium wilt, Yellow leaf curl, Alternaria canker, Verticillium wilt.
The fruits are intended for fresh consumption.
Positive traits
Due to their characteristics they have the following positive qualities.
- Early ripening.
- Good disease resistance.
- Long shelf life.
- Transportability.
- Good presentation.
- High taste qualities.
- Easy to grow.
Agricultural technology
Since Tmag seeds have undergone pre-sale treatment with Thiram, there is no need to soak them in fungicides in the future.
Seeds are sown in March for seedlings in compacted soil, sprinkled with peat or a 1-centimeter layer of soil, watered with warm water from a spray bottle, and covered with film. The container is placed in a sunny place for germination.
After germination, the film is removed and the plants continue to be grown at an air temperature of 20 degrees until 1-2 true leaves appear. Then the seedlings are planted in separate containers and mineral fertilizer is applied.
At the age of 33-45 days, seedlings are planted in a greenhouse or open ground.
Plant care
Due to the characteristics of tomatoes - they have heavy bunches of fruit, to avoid breaking the bushes need to be tied up. The bush is not tall, it forms independently, so it is not necessary to pinch the shoots. The lower leaves break off 1 per week in sunny, not rainy weather. Weeding and watering of plants are mandatory; after each watering, the soil around the trunk should be loosened, this is done to preserve moisture in the soil.
When growing bushes in a greenhouse, you need to ventilate it to circulate fresh air.
Fertilizing is carried out 3 times per season with mineral and organic fertilizers. To detect infections, constant inspection is carried out for the presence of stains or fungi. If detected, the bushes are sanitized with fungicides and the infected parts are removed from the area. This will stop the growth of infection and preserve the harvest.
The variety has perfectly adapted to our climatic zone, does not require special plant care and produces a high yield of fruits both in open areas and in greenhouses. With proper care, up to 8 kilograms of ripe, beautiful and tasty tomatoes can be harvested from one bush.
Early large varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses in Siberia
No matter how cold the summer may be in Siberia, there are more and more people who like to dig in the garden and grow vegetables with their own hands every year.
Almost every plot has a greenhouse, and in it cucumbers, tomatoes and other delicious healthy vegetables delight the eye.
Half a kilo of raspberry-pink, fleshy tomatoes with a minimal amount of seeds inside the heart-shaped tomatoes look very dignified and noble. It’s not for nothing that they received such a chic name - “Nobleman”.
The taste fully corresponds to the name - very juicy and rich. The great advantage is that these early giants can be used for winter seaming, either cut into pieces, or in the form of a magnificent thick juice. Individual tomatoes reach up to a kilogram in size. In greenhouses, the growing season of this variety is almost just 3 months.
The fastest ripening greenhouse variety of large tomatoes can rightfully be called “Great Warrior”. In terms of its taste characteristics, it is very similar to nobleman, only it is distinguished by its bright crimson color and even greater meatiness.
On average, one tomato stretches half a kilogram. Like a real warrior, the tomato has a very strong, powerful and fairly tall stem. Resistant to many nightshade diseases.
A slightly smaller in size, but no less tasty hybrid from Russian breeders called “Titanic F1”. Although the average weight is only 380 grams, the bush forms powerful ovaries and clusters, which ripen alternately for quite a long time. From germination to the first harvest, only 110 days pass.
Practically does not require pinching and is disease-resistant. The main advantages include the ability of a tomato to accumulate, even in a greenhouse, 6% sugar in its pulp. Smooth, as if matched to one another, red tomatoes enchant upon closer inspection with a slight pink tint.

The record holder for ripening can be called a fairly tall bush hybrid “Kokhava F1”, the first tomatoes of which can be tasted just 85 days after the first shoot. Although the fruits weigh on average just under 350 grams, there are such a large number of them that with proper care, almost 30 kg of harvest can be harvested from the bush.
The shape is round-flat, the skin is pink in color and quite dense. They fit well and are transportable. A huge advantage can be considered almost complete immunity to most viral infections, fungal spores and nematodes.
Slightly ribbed, pink-raspberry, very sweet, flat-round tomatoes “Raspberry Giant” are ideal for canning; they almost always weigh over 400 grams. Despite its “smoothed” appearance, the variety is incredibly fleshy inside and looks like a sugar watermelon in the light.
All of the above seeds can be grown in other regions of Russia, but it is still best to look and select those varieties that have been bred or improved by local breeders, because a lot depends on the soil and the pests common in the region - those tomatoes that have special immunity.
Diseases and pests
The hybrid “Sibiryak f1” is characterized by resistance to diseases such as cladosporiosis, tobacco mosaic virus, and fusarium.
However, like most tomatoes that are grown in a greenhouse, it needs preventive measures to protect it, such as:
- Disinfection of seeds and soil for seedlings.
- Disinfection of greenhouses (walls, equipment, soil).
- Compliance with crop rotation rules.
- Treatment with phytosporin and other agents for disease prevention.
- Ventilation of greenhouses to reduce air humidity levels.
Pests of tomatoes - spider mites, slugs, Colorado potato beetles - can be noticed when examining plant leaves. Most often, they are collected manually in greenhouses, or they are treated with various folk remedies - decoctions of wormwood, infusions of onions, garlic, and hot pepper. When they appear en masse, they are sprayed with insecticidal preparations.
Pests such as wireworms and chafer larvae also cause significant damage to the root system of plants; they can be detected during pre-planting digging of the soil or if the plant is already dying.
To prevent larvae from getting into the soil, it is necessary to carefully inspect the compost when adding it to the holes before planting. To combat wireworms, autumn digging of the soil with dolomite flour or lime is recommended.

Tomato growing technology
PS To make life easier for readers and reduce the time it takes to absorb the article, instead of determining the yield of vegetables in kg per 1 square meter, it will be written below - kg “per square”.
And now I am announcing the number of tomatoes tested in growing, presented below for your viewing, which can still be called the best - 60 varieties.
PS The results were recorded in an area that: with a good warm season, corresponds to the Central Black Earth region (region), and with a bad warm season, corresponds to the North-Western region. Naturally, this range of latitudes in which the above regions are located definitely includes Siberia, the Moscow region, the Middle Zone, the Urals, the Far East, and then figure out for yourself where exactly the paths lead to your site.
Transplanting
Plants can be planted in a permanent place as early as May. However, you should pay attention to the weather. The timing of planting seedlings is different for each region.
It is important that the threat of frost has passed
To plant seedlings, you need to carry out the following activities:
- Choice of predecessor. To obtain a good harvest, it is necessary to correctly alternate crops in the crop rotation system. The best precursors for tomatoes are the following crops: legumes, pumpkin, cabbage, and onions. You cannot plant tomatoes after nightshades.
- Site preparation. Tomatoes prefer to grow in loose and well-fertilized soil. The acidity should be neutral. The choice of site should be approached carefully. The bed should be well-lit and drafts should be avoided. The soil should be prepared a week in advance. The soil must be dug up and treated with boiling water to remove pests. Then you need to make holes and pour mineral fertilizers into each. Advice. It is advisable to mulch the soil under each bush. The procedure will help retain moisture, heat, and protect crops from pests.
- Sowing seedlings. The distance between plants should be at least 70 cm. It is allowed to plant seedlings at an angle of 45. This will help them grow stronger and take root faster. It is better to plant strong seedlings in a vertical position. Immediately you need to install a support for tying. In order for the plants to tolerate transplantation well, they need to be covered with film.
