Growing

Even beginners will not have any difficulties with landing. The peculiarity of the hybrid is that it must be tied up. Since there are a lot of fruits and the bush bends to the ground under their weight.

Cultivation is carried out using seedlings. This way the crop begins to ripen 2-3 weeks earlier. Seeds are sown 2 months before the expected date of transfer to the ground. Each summer resident calculates the period based on the characteristics of the growing region.

Pre-sowing treatment is not necessary, since Kaspar is a hybrid. Plants need to be looked after. Strong seedlings are the key to a future harvest.

A certain temperature regime is established in the room. The first 5 days +15-17 ⁰С, subsequent days +20-22 ⁰С. Plants need lighting for at least 14-16 hours so that the stems are straight and do not stretch.

Water as needed; do not overwater or overdry the soil. When the plants have formed 2 true leaves, the seedlings are planted in separate pots. As a result, a powerful root system is formed. Tomatoes are fed with growth stimulants.

Before planting, tomatoes are hardened 10-14 days before they are acclimated to growing conditions. To do this, take it outside for 10 days starting from 10-15 minutes. and ending at 8-10 hours.

8 plants per 1 m2 are planted in open ground.

Refreshing and aromatic…

An unusual, beautiful drink - the natural sweetness of Campari tomatoes gives energy, joy and pleasure!

Campari tomatoes (very juicy!), contain vitamins A, B6, C, as well as potassium, folate, iron, and are rich in fiber. So should you choose yellow or red Campari tomatoes, which is better? - Both contain vitamins and nutrients in almost equal quantities. But if the body needs more lycopene, red tomatoes are better, and if there is not enough iron, then yellow ones. No matter the shape or color, all tomatoes are healthy!

Campari, as is commonly believed, is a red cocktail tomato. But time does not stand still - now you can often see Campari tomatoes - and bright yellow ones. It seems that yellow tomatoes are more tender, and their skin is thinner - yes, this is true, and yellow Campari is also more aromatic. These beautiful round tomatoes are great in salads, and cocktails and drinks made from yellow Campari are high class! Tasty!

The taste of the tomato drink is very pleasant, fresh - it can be prepared both in summer and winter (Campari tomatoes can be bought all year round). Ball tomatoes look like miniature soccer balls. And the past 2015, for football fans, and especially the Dynamo (Kyiv) football team, was an anniversary year.

Back in 1975, the Kiev team became the winner in the final matches of the prestigious Cup Winners' Cup and UEFA Super Cup, and won the USSR championship. And Dynamo (Kyiv) footballer Oleg Blokhin received the Golden Ball prize (France Football's Ballon d'Or) and was awarded the title of "Best Footballer in Europe". It was unheard of success, honor, love, glory... The people of Kiev were in a state of heady euphoria and great pride “for our Dynamo.” Even the word “Kievite” sounded proud, and the residents of the capital of Ukraine adored Oleg Blokhin, their football idol, and literally carried him in their arms...

Then, the title of “Best Footballer in Europe” was awarded to Dynamo Kiev player Igor Belanov in 1986. And already in the 21st century, another Dynamo football player, Andrei Shevchenko, received the Golden Ball prize in 2004, playing for the Italian Milan.

Three such football celebrities in Dynamo (Kyiv)! So, this is a solid anniversary! You can celebrate all year long. There is something to remember - successes, defeats, famous matches of your favorite team, victories, championships, Euro 2012, awards - there is something to talk about.

Interesting to know . The Ballon d'Or, an annual football award, was created in France by the editors of France Football magazine in 1956. The prize was awarded to the best football player of the year. It could be a player for whom coaches and captains of national football teams, and journalists from all over the world voted. Every year, the “Golden Ball” became an increasingly popular, prestigious award and went beyond the borders of Europe. Since 2010, the two awards, the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Player of the Year, have been combined into one, now the FIFA Ballon d'Or. The first winner of the world FIFA Ballon d'Or was Argentinean Lionel Messi (Barcelona).

...And from the end of November, at the end of the calendar year, FIFA begins counting votes. And when the winner is determined, the award will be presented to him at the official ceremony, which will take place in early January in Zurich.

Who will win the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2021? In the list of those nominated, that is, they received a nomination, there were 23 football players in the world. Maybe there will be Lionel Messi (again), maybe Cristiano Ronaldo, last year's prize winner, will be (again)? Or maybe someone else will become the best football player in the world, like, for example, Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez, or the fearless Brazilian Neymar?... Soon (January 11, 2016) we will know about it, or rather, soon everyone will know about it world!.

These are the hot football passions! — It’s good to meet with friends, argue, and try a delicious, cool “Tomato Drink with Honey”, and wish your favorite football player to become the owner of the “Golden Ball”!

Bon appetit! Good luck and good spirits!
