Growing process

Tomato Peter 1: characteristics and description of the variety

Since this plant is not a hybrid, you can prepare the seeds yourself from tomatoes or buy them at any store. The Tomato Irkutsk chain of stores is ready to offer seed material. You can easily purchase Irkutsk tomatoes on the official website without leaving your home.

Before planting, it is important to pre-prepare the seeds. Self-extracted seed must be calcined in the oven; store-bought products need to be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate.

It is necessary to prepare the soil before planting, lightly water the soil, and have enough water.

Prepared seeds should be planted in a container with fertilized soil in March. Subsequently, the container is covered with film. When sprouts appear, the film is removed, and seed germination continues in the open sun until the first leaves appear. The seedlings are ready for picking.

Picking up seedlings

After 60 days, most often this date falls at the end of May, the bushes are transplanted into open soil.

Plants need to be tied up so that a large number of fruits do not injure the bush. To accelerate ripeness, seedlings are planted under film or grown in a greenhouse, observing the required temperature conditions. It is worth remembering that the harvest grown in the garden is much tastier and has a pronounced color; in the greenhouse the vegetable turns out to be more sour and paler.

Important! There should be a certain distance between the rows - from thirty to forty centimeters, between seedlings - 70 centimeters.

Cleaning takes place from mid-July to the twentieth of August. Professionals harvest tomatoes without stems.

To ensure a large and high-quality harvest, fertilizers and mineral fertilizers should be added to the soil. Humus is a good fertilizer.

If you plan to plant in the garden, then a draft-free area will be a favorable place. The place should be well lit by the sun, but it is better to protect the side shoots from sunlight. Ideal temperature for growing: minimum - 16 degrees, maximum - 28 degrees. At low temperatures, fruit growth slows down; at high temperatures, the plant and fruits burn. Exposure to direct sunlight is important at the first stage, when inflorescences form and fruits form, then the need for bright light decreases.

If cultivation takes place in a greenhouse, then the main condition for obtaining a good harvest is the movement of dry air. This movement can be accomplished with the help of a fan or with regular ventilation of the greenhouse.
