Growing rules and characteristics of tomato Pink Spam

Tomato Pink Spam F1 is an excellent hybrid that has increased productivity and disease resistance. It does not require a greenhouse; it can be grown directly in the garden.

Characteristics of tomato Pink Spam

The multi-chambered fruits of Pink Spam are endowed with thin skin and medium-density pulp.
They contain a wide variety of useful components. At the time of ripening, antioxidants, large amounts of pectin, vitamin C, sugar, etc. accumulate in the fruits. The shape of the tomatoes is round or heart-shaped. Many consumers note that the described hybrid is somewhat sweeter and tastier than the original variety from which Pink Spam was obtained. This tomato is used in various ways, various salads are prepared, sauces and pastes are cooked, juices are prepared for future use, etc.

The indeterminate type of plant is capable of growing indefinitely; this process can only be stopped by pinching the top. Like all hybrids, this tomato develops and bears fruit best in greenhouse conditions, but do not assume that this variety cannot be cultivated in open beds.

An early ripening plant gives a harvest 3.5 months after germination. The marketability of the vegetable is expressed in yield; from each bush you can get up to 10-12 kg of sweet tomatoes. In addition, it is worth noting the ability of the hybrid to form an ovary together. The fruits have no tendency to crack.

Pink spam has not only advantages, but also some disadvantages. The main one is considered to be low keeping quality. Perhaps, for some gardeners, special care for the plant will be a disadvantage. The hybrid is susceptible to some diseases, such as the fungal disease late blight (see photo).

With proper cultivation and timely implementation of preventive procedures, this trouble can be circumvented. The disease most often occurs when there is excess moisture, in cloudy and cool weather. Favorable conditions for the appearance of late blight on bushes can be dense plantings, excess foliage on bushes and poor ventilation of the greenhouse.

Preventive measures include mulching the holes in which tomato bushes grow, spraying vegetables with biological products Trichodermin and Fitosporin.

It is necessary to form a hybrid during development from an early age, because the plant is actively growing leaves and shoots. This specimen is formed into 1 trunk, it is attached vertically to a strong support. The bushes have simple inflorescences, the first ovary is formed above the 8-9 leaf, all subsequent ones - after 3 leaves.

Due to their high growth, tomatoes require more feeding. In the initial period of development, plants need more nitrogen; this fertilizer helps rapid growth. Phosphorus supplements strengthen plant immunity. During the period when vegetables are gaining weight and ripe, you should not feed them with nitrogen; tomatoes need potassium and phosphorus supplements to develop their taste.

Features and secrets of courtship

To obtain high yields, the hybrid needs to create certain conditions. All bushes require fertilizing, watering, shaping, and disease prevention.

Formation of Pink Spam

This variety has the ability for excessive shoot growth and active setting. If you do not carry out shaping, all the strength of the tomatoes will go into the growing season. And the plants will grow excessively, thickening the planting. For this purpose, formation activities are carried out regularly, preferably once a week.

The bush is formed into 1 or 2 trunks and tied to a vertical support. Fixation on trellises must be carried out, especially taking into account the abundance of clusters and the weight of the fruit. The number of main stems depends on how far apart the tomatoes are planted. If the distance is less than 75 cm, then it is better to leave 1 main trunk. Tomato authorities recommend a 2-stem formation as the most effective. The second shoot will be the stepson, which develops under the flower cluster. To do this, remove all excess shoots and side shoots, carefully cutting them off with garden shears. Be sure to disinfect garden tools.

Top dressing

Fertilizing correctly and on time means improving the harvest

It is important to feed tomatoes once every 30 days. When increased growth of stems and leaves occurs, nitrogen fertilizing will be indispensable

When the period of rapid flowering begins, superphosphate and potassium salt are added to the soil. They will affect the development of good fruit set and increase resistance to disease.

Prevention and treatment of diseases

Pink Spam's worst enemy is late blight. As a preventive measure, the drug “Fitosporin” is a good help. They treat the soil in greenhouses on the eve of planting. Be sure to ventilate several times a day to get rid of moisture vapor.

The quantity and quality of the harvest largely depends on the selected variety. Those who prefer juicy tomatoes can be advised to grow Pink Spam. Of all the varieties, it is very popular among gardeners; according to reviews, it is considered one of the most delicious.

Seedling care

The development of tomato and its fruiting depend on growing conditions. It is most convenient to grow this hybrid variety in seedlings.

Seed treatment

Planting seeds for seedlings must be done two months before transplanting into the ground. Typically this period occurs in the middle or end of March, depending on the type of region. However, first the hybrid seeds should be treated:

• soak for half an hour in a weak solution of potassium permanganate;
• rinse with water;
• To accelerate growth, place it in a stimulant for an hour - it can be prepared from a teaspoon of honey and a glass of water;
• spread on paper to dry.

Soil composition

In order for Pink Spam tomato seedlings to turn out to be of high quality, reviews advise ensuring the correct composition of the soil. It can be purchased at the store, but it is best to take soil from the area where the tomato will grow and prepare a substrate based on it:

• the mixture should contain equal amounts of peat, sand and garden soil;
• adding a small amount of wood ash will reduce acidity and disinfect the soil;
• Additionally, you can disinfect the substrate with potassium permanganate.

Sowing seeds

When the first shoots of Pink Spam tomatoes appear, reviews with photos show that the transparent coating needs to be removed and the boxes with tomato seedlings should be placed in a sufficiently lit place, but without direct sunlight. The most comfortable temperature for seedling growth is 23 degrees

The soil should be periodically carefully moistened with a spray bottle, avoiding drops of water from falling on the still tender tomato leaves.

Two leaves that appear on the sprouts are a signal for the start of the hybrid picking. You can plant plants in peat pots. They are convenient because they can then be immediately planted in the ground along with the bushes.

Half a month before replanting into open ground, you need to start hardening off the bushes, taking them out into the fresh air. The holding time of tomatoes should be gradually increased, starting from 10-20 minutes. When the night frosts end, you can leave the seedlings outside overnight. Gradually you need to accustom the tomato bushes to direct sunlight.

Agricultural technology

This variety is best grown in seedlings. In order for the plants to be strong and strong, care must begin from the very first days.

Sowing seeds

Seeds are planted in prepared soil approximately 30 days before the seedlings are planted in a permanent place. Depending on the region, this may occur in late March or early April. Before planting, the seeds are treated:

• first kept in a solution of potassium permanganate;
• then washed;
• for 45-60 minutes they are placed in a product that enhances resistance;
• dried.

The land for sowing must be of high quality. You can buy it or prepare it yourself. To do this, you need to take the soil where the bush will subsequently grow. Mix it with peat, sand and ash. If necessary, the soil can be disinfected with potassium permanganate.

The seeds are placed on the surface of the soil and lightly sprinkled with soil in a 1 cm layer. After this, water. It is best to use a sprayer to prevent the soil from being washed away. Then the container with the seeds is covered with glass or film and placed in a warm, bright place.

Seedling care

After the seeds hatch, the containers are opened and placed in a warm, bright place, but so that direct rays of the sun do not fall on them. The most optimal temperature for growing seedlings is 23 degrees. The soil under the seedlings needs to be moistened regularly, but so that the moisture does not stagnate.

Seedlings are picked when the first two true leaves grow.

If the seedlings are planted in ordinary containers, then they should be replanted with lumps of soil so as not to break the roots. In addition, this will allow plants to quickly adapt to a new place.

2 weeks before planting the seedlings in the greenhouse, the plants need to begin to be hardened off. This is done by exposing them to the air. At first, the time the seedlings are exposed to air should be only a few minutes. Gradually the duration increases to the entire daylight hours. And if there is no frost, the plants can be left outside all night.

Plants are planted in a permanent location at the age of 2 months, when the bushes are sufficiently strong. This occurs around mid-to-late May, depending on the timing of seed sowing and the region.

The soil in the greenhouse must be prepared. Beginning in the fall, the beds need to be manured and dug up. In the spring they also dig up. Loamy and sandy soils are considered the most suitable for the Pink Spam variety.

When planting, supports for tying are immediately installed. The plant can reach a height of 1.5 meters, and therefore it needs additional support. Plant care consists of:

• timely watering;
• mulching the soil;
• weeding;
• loosening the soil;
• stepsoning. Only 1 stem is enough for growth;
• preventive measures against diseases with preparations containing copper;
• feeding with mineral complexes. During the growth period there should be at least 4 of them.

Features of cultivation

The development and yields of Pink Spam depend on the growing and care conditions.

In order for the variety to bring as much harvest as possible, each bush should be given special attention. Tomatoes are usually grown using seedlings

To obtain high-quality seedlings, some procedures are carried out with seeds before planting.

First, the seeds are left in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes. After this, they are thoroughly washed in plenty of clean water. The next stage of preparing seeds for sowing is treating them with the growth stimulator Zircon.

You can prepare stimulants yourself. To do this, dilute 1 teaspoon of honey in 1 glass of water and let it brew for 40-60 minutes. After processing, the seeds are laid out on paper or cotton cloth to dry. All manipulations are completed, and the seeds can be planted.

Before sowing, you need to prepare the soil. It can be purchased ready-made in specialized stores or taken from the site where the seedlings will be planted. To independently prepare the substrate, take soil from the site, peat, sand (1: 1: 1).

If the soil is highly acidic, then you need to add more wood ash. It is recommended to disinfect the finished mixture using potassium permanganate. In addition, the composition of the soil must be loose.

To make it convenient to sow seeds in the ground, you can use a manual seeder or any suitable device available in the house. A distance of 2 cm is maintained between the holes, and rows are placed every 4 cm. The seeds are buried no more than 2 cm and carefully sprinkled with earth.

After this, the wells are moistened with water using a spray bottle. The crops are immediately covered with plastic film (or glass) and placed in a warm place. At the same time, the trays should not be in a draft.

When young shoots appear, the film must be removed. The air temperature in the room where the trays with seedlings are located must be maintained within +23 °C. After the formation of two good leaves, the seedlings should be planted in separate cups.

For seedlings, you need to choose a place where there is enough light, but beware of direct rays of the sun aimed directly at them. The best place to grow seedlings is a windowsill on the east or west side. In other cases, the plant should be provided with shelter from the hot sun.

Pickled sprouts are watered as needed. Typically, watering seedlings is carried out 3 times every 7 days at the root. To form a healthy and strong plant, nutrients should be added in a timely manner.

10 days after the diving procedure, the first fertilizing is applied in the form of nitrogen fertilizer. Usually, such a common remedy as nitroammophoska is used for this purpose. The second feeding of seedlings is carried out after 14 days. The third feeding with vitamins is carried out 2 weeks before transplanting the tomatoes to a permanent place.

At the same time, the plant begins to harden. During the day, trays with seedlings are taken out into the fresh air (terrace, balcony) and kept for 30 minutes, increasing the time they spend outside every day. Thus, the shoots are accustomed to the warm sun.

When Pink Spam tomatoes grow to a height of 20 cm, they are transplanted into open ground. Depending on the climate of the region, this procedure can be carried out from the second ten days of May to mid-June. Seedlings can be transferred to a sheltered area or greenhouse 10 days earlier. If the weather has not yet settled and there may be frosts, then young plants are planted in several passes.

Tomatoes are not planted in areas where eggplants, potatoes, and peppers grew last season, as there is a risk of infection with their diseases.

A plot where cabbage, onions and zucchini were grown is suitable.

Seedlings are planted according to the following scheme: 50x50 cm. If the plot is spacious, then a planting scheme of 70x70 cm is better suited for the Pink Spam variety.

Planting in a greenhouse or garden bed

If your pets have reached 20 cm in height, it is time to plant them in a permanent place. As a rule, this is done from May 20 to June 15. It all depends on the region and climatic conditions. It can be planted in a greenhouse 10 days earlier than in the ground. If there is a danger of night frosts, it is better to plant in several stages.

The soil for “Pink Spam” is prepared in the fall by fertilizing it with manure or compost. They are suitable for moderately nutritious, light and slightly acidic soil, usually sandy or loamy. It is better to plant tomatoes on the south or southeast side of the plot. You should not plant tomatoes in an area where eggplants, sweet peppers, or potatoes grew. These crops are susceptible to the same diseases. It is optimal to plant tomatoes after onions, zucchini or cabbage. The planting pattern is 50x50 cm. If there is enough space, 70x70 is possible.

Landing

The growth of the variety and the quality of fruiting are influenced by growing conditions. The best option is the seedling method of cultivation with further planting under film cover.

Growing seedlings

It is recommended to sow Pink Spam seeds for seedlings approximately 2 months before planting in the ground: mid-March - early April (depending on the region). Before this they need to be prepared:

• place the seeds for 30 minutes in a weak solution of potassium permanganate;
• rinse with water;
• prepare a stimulant by diluting 1 teaspoon of honey in 1 glass of water;
• place the seeds in the resulting solution for 1 hour;
• take out the planting material and dry it by spreading it on a sheet of paper.

Next, you need to buy soil in a specialized store or prepare it yourself:

• take an equal amount of soil (preferably from the area where the tomatoes will grow), river sand, peat;
• add a little wood ash - it will reduce the acidity of the soil and disinfect it;
• disinfect the resulting substrate with potassium permanganate.

You can start planting tomato seedlings Pink Spam:

• spread the prepared planting material on the surface of soil preheated to 100°C or spilled with boiling water;
• sprinkle 1 cm of substrate on top;
• cover the container with the crops with glass or a piece of transparent film;
• place in a warm place.

When the first true leaf appears, plant the sprouts in larger pots. Water the seedlings at the roots as the soil dries out. Feed the crop with fertilizer:

• the first time - 10 days after the pick;
• the second time - 2 weeks after the first feeding;
• the last time - about 2 weeks before planting in the ground.

2 weeks before planting, begin to take the young shoots outside for a short time to adapt and harden them. After the end of night frosts (approximately the 3rd decade of May), the seedlings can be planted in the ground.

Landing in the ground

To plant seedlings in open ground, the beds are prepared in advance: they are dug up in the fall and fertilized with manure. It is advisable to make the beds on the south side of the site, on low-acid sandy or loamy soil. It is not advisable to plant Pink Spam on land on which eggplants, potatoes, and sweet peppers previously grew. The ideal predecessors of tomatoes are cabbage, onions, and zucchini.

The period for planting seedlings in open ground is approximately from May 20 (after the cessation of morning frosts) to June 15. By this time, the seedlings should:

• purchase 7 leaves;
• grow up to 20 cm in height.

The optimal planting patterns are 50x50 cm, 60x60 cm or 70x40 cm. The bushes must be tied up, they must be formed into 1 - 2 stems. Planting in a greenhouse is carried out 2 weeks earlier than in open ground.

Further care for the Pink Spam tomato includes performing a number of actions:

1. Watering. It is recommended to carry out it in a timely manner, twice a week, in the morning or evening, after sunset. It is necessary to water only at the roots.
2. Mulching. Covering the soil with natural organic or man-made inorganic materials will retain moisture in the soil.
3. Loosening, weeding. High-quality loosening and removal of weeds will ensure access of oxygen to the root system of the plant.
4. Hilling. The procedure will allow the roots to branch intensively.
5. Feeding. 2 weeks after planting the seedlings in the ground, when the seedlings begin to grow, they must be fed once a month with mineral fertilizers and natural organic matter, for example, potassium salt, superphosphate, onion peels, nettles, and infusion of chicken manure. The best time to feed is during watering or immediately after it.
6. Topping. To limit the growth of the bush at the main shoot, you need to pinch the top at the desired height.
7. Bush formation, garter. The bush is formed into 2 stems, using a stepson under the lower ovary. The garter is necessary to support the weight of the tomatoes.
8. Treatment against pests and diseases. To prevent fungal diseases, seedlings and the soil underneath them are sprayed with a fungicide solution 7 days after planting. During the period of growth and formation of fruits, treatment with chemicals is stopped, once a week a solution of Fitosporin is added to the water for irrigation, and the bushes are sprayed with it. To protect against pests, the hybrid is treated with preparations containing copper.

Pests and diseases

Hybrids of the nightshade family are very resistant to pests and diseases, even to such as verticillium wilt. The main threat is late blight; it can cause the death of up to 65% of the crop. For prevention, plants are sprayed at least twice with copper-containing fungicides of various brands, for example, “Ridomil” or “Ordan”. If a disease is detected, other drugs are used: Fitosporin or Trichodermin.

To prevent fungal diseases, remove the lower leaves up to the first cluster. This procedure is effective after the plants branch out, gain strength and form clusters of fruit. Timely treatment against fungal diseases will ensure a good tomato harvest.

Pros and cons of the variety

Each variety has its own positive and negative sides, although some tomatoes lack the latter. You can see the pros and cons of Pink Spam in the following table.

Productivity and fruiting

The first fruits ripen within 90–100 days, so Pink Spam is classified as an early ripening variety. The harvest is harvested from June to October.

If the rules of agricultural technology are followed, up to 20 kg per tomato can be harvested per season.

Area of ​​application of fruits

According to reviews, the Orange Spam tomato has excellent taste, so it is actively used both for preparing culinary delights and for winter preparations.

Thanks to its juicy pulp and thick skin, tomatoes make delicious paste and tomato juice, borscht dressings and lecho.

The variety is not grown on an industrial scale due to the impossibility of long-term storage. If it is necessary to transport Pink Spam f1, it is collected slightly unripe.

Resistance to diseases and pests

According to the characteristics and description of the Pink Spam tomato variety, it is a crop that is resistant to pests and diseases.

The variety is immune to verticillium and fusarium, tolerant to cladosporiosis and gray rot.

If the rules of care are violated, there is a high risk of late blight, which can cause crop destruction.

A fungal disease can infect one bush and quickly spread to nearby tomatoes. The main symptom is the appearance of brown spots on the foliage and fruits. Without treating Pink spam f1 with special means, the risk of its death is high.

Hello, Katya! The described variety of tomatoes can be planted in open ground if cultivation is planned in the southern regions. For colder locations, planting in a greenhouse is preferable. If you create suitable conditions, you can simply plant them in the soil and in the middle zone, but care must be quite thorough.

It is important to choose a warm place in the garden that is well-warmed by the sun and protected from the wind. You can build an embankment or cover the soil with agrofibre so that moisture and heat are better retained in the soil

It is better to grow tomatoes in seedlings, so the fruits will appear earlier and more will have time to ripen before the cold weather.

For the first time after planting, it is better to cover the plants with spunbond at night. This will protect the bushes from frost, cold drafts and wind. In cold climates, crop immunity may decrease, so preventive treatments, especially against fungal infections, should not be neglected.

As a rule, Pink Spam tomatoes are found in places of sale under this name. You can use the description of the fruits and bushes of the plant if difficulties arise in purchasing planting material.

Answer

What you need to know about this option

Characteristics and description of the variety:

1. Brought out by Russian breeders and included in the State Register of Plants of the Russian Federation. This is a hybrid version created on the basis of the popular Bull's Heart variety. Designed for cultivation in film and stationary greenhouses; in warm regions it can also be planted in open ground.
2. Plants are of indeterminate type, average height is about 2 m, the top is pinched to limit growth. To ensure high productivity, the bushes must be pinched and formed into one stem.
3. This is a mid-early variety, from the moment of germination to the first harvest it takes from 95 to 100 days. Fruiting is abundant and long-lasting, especially in a greenhouse. In open ground, flowers stop forming at the beginning of August.
4. The yield ranges from 20 to 25 kg per square meter when grown in a greenhouse. If you plant Pink Spam in the garden, the yield will be reduced by about half.
5. The fruits are heart-shaped, less often round in shape. The average weight varies from 160 to 300 g, individual tomatoes grow up to 500 g. Pink when ripe. The peel is quite thin, the flesh is juicy, they tolerate transportation well, but are not intended for long-term storage.
6. The taste is excellent. This variety is best consumed fresh. If you use tomatoes for preparations, it is better to remove them in a slightly unripe state.
7. Resistance to pests is high. But periodic preventive treatments against fungal diseases and late blight are required.

This variety also has disadvantages:

• Weak resistance to fungal diseases. Prevention is indispensable.
• Low keeping quality. Tomatoes last only a few days.
• The need for plant formation and pinching to ensure high yield.

Technological operations for growing tomatoes

Growing tomatoes for gardeners does not pose any particular difficulties, but not everyone is able to obtain a high-quality product. The yield of the crop depends on the growing technology, the characteristics of the tomato variety, and climatic conditions.

Characteristics and description of the Krasnobay tomato variety, its yieldRead

Soil preparation

To rationally use the space of a greenhouse or garden when growing tomatoes, the seedling method is used. Seeds are sown in special containers with drainage holes or cassettes, then transferred to a permanent place.

Ordinary soil is not suitable for planting tomato seeds for seedlings, so a suitable nursery needs to be filled with seeding substrate.

Unlike other vegetables, tomatoes grow well in salty and highly acidic soils. The removal of nutrients from the soil per 1 ton of fruit is N - 3.2; P2 O5 - 1.1; K2 O - 4.6.

The land required for planting tomato seedlings must meet the following requirements:

• high porosity - 65 - 75%;
• low moisture capacity - 45 - 50%;
• air capacity - 20 - 25%;
• density - 0.4 - 0.6 g/cm².

Planting seeds

Tomatoes are very picky about temperature. Tomatoes should be sown when the soil warms up to 16 °C. The normal growth and ripening time of this tomato variety depend on temperature.

Sowing of seeds is carried out to a depth of 0.5 - 1 cm at a distance of 2 cm, the distance between rows is 4 cm. To sow tomatoes, use a hand seeder or a toothpick soaked in water. After this, the substrate is sprinkled with earth and moistened with warm water.

Before sowing, you can check the germination of seeds. To do this, lower the planting material into a container of water for a few minutes. Those tomato seeds that sink to the bottom of the container are considered suitable for planting.

Description and characteristics of the San Marzano tomato varietyRead

Next, the cassettes or boxes are covered with film and transferred to a bright, dry place without drafts. The first and important point for obtaining friendly shoots is maintaining humidity within 75 - 80% before germination. To do this, water the tomato nursery at least once a week.

Seedling care

The place where the seedlings grow should be well ventilated. The air temperature should be within 18 degrees, during the transplantation period - 16 °C. When two true sheets appear, the picking process is carried out. This usually happens 11 - 12 days after sowing. Tomato bushes should be replanted in a place with good lighting, but without direct sunlight.

During this period, the first feeding of tomatoes with complex fertilizer (superphosphate, azophosphate, potassium nitrate) is carried out. The second feeding is carried out two weeks later. When the seedlings reach 20 cm in height, after the appearance of 9 - 10 well-developed leaves, they must be planted in a permanent place of growth.

Planting on the beds

Depending on the germination temperature and region, the transplantation period begins from April 15 to May 15. It should be planted in fluffy soil fertilized with organic fertilizer. In order for the bed to warm up evenly, it is necessary to plant in the north-south direction - this way the tomatoes will not shade each other, which will make it possible to obtain evenly aligned seedlings.

For indeterminate varieties of tomatoes, a two-band planting scheme is used: row spacing - 60 - 70 cm, between adjacent beds - 90 - 100 cm, distance in the row - 50 - 55 cm.

Formation of plants

Tomatoes need to be cared for immediately after transplanting into the ground. Description of care work:

• feeding;
• loosening the soil;
• watering.

To form a strong root system of the bush, hilling is carried out. Feeding should begin after the plant has taken root.

Thus, the tomato variety Pink Spam is a high-yielding hybrid for salad purposes, which has earned positive reviews from summer residents.

Growing rules

There are two methods of growing tomatoes: in open ground or using specially equipped premises. To cultivate the Pink Spam f1 tomato, you need to purchase new seeds every year: raw materials collected from ripe tomatoes, unsuitable for replanting.

Planting seedlings

The time for planting tomato seeds is at the end of February and the beginning of March. The timing varies depending on the type of region. Pre-treatment of seed material is mandatory:

• the raw materials are immersed in a solution of potassium permanganate and soaked for 2–3 hours;
• washed with water;
• treated with a growth stimulator. If it is absent, stir 1 tsp in a glass of water. honey and place in the solution for an hour.

The last stage of processing the variety is drying the seeds: they are laid out on a sheet of paper or gauze and left at room temperature for 2–3 hours.

As soil, use specialized soil from gardening stores or prepare it yourself. To do this, mix soil, sand and peat in equal volumes. It is necessary to add ash to the soil mixture to disinfect it.

Important! An additional method of disinfecting soil is calcining it in an oven. As a container for tomato seedlings Pink Spam f1, it is recommended to use specialized plastic containers divided into sections or peat pots

Reusable containers must be thoroughly washed and dried.

It is recommended to use specialized plastic containers, divided into sections or peat pots, as containers for tomato seedlings Pink Spam f1. Reusable containers must be thoroughly washed and dried.

The soil mixture is poured into a pre-prepared container, the seeds are laid on top of it and sprinkled with soil, which is moistened with a spray bottle. The container must be covered with film or glass and transferred to a room at room temperature. After the Pink Spam f1 tomato sprouts appear, you need to place the containers in a well-lit place (window sill).

Care consists of timely moistening of the soil. After two leaves appear, the tomatoes are planted in peat pots and fertilized. In bad weather, turn on additional lighting and move the seedlings to a warmer place

It is important to prevent drafts in the room

It is recommended to harden the variety 14–20 days before transplanting into the ground: place containers with tomatoes outside for 10–20 minutes, gradually increasing the time the seedlings spend in the fresh air to 2–3 hours.

Transfer

Pink Spam tomatoes are transferred to open ground or a greenhouse from mid-April to May. The soil should be dry, dug up and fertilized with organic fertilizers.

It is recommended to plant tomatoes from north to south so that they do not shade each other. If there is a threat of frost, the variety must be covered with material. The interval between tomatoes is 60–70 cm, and the distance between the ridges is from 90 to 100 cm.

A seedling is placed in a dug hole along with a lump of earth, then sprinkled with soil and watered well.

Aftercare

In order for the Pink Spam tomato harvest to correspond to the description and photo, it is necessary to comply with the rules of agricultural technology. Watering is carried out in the early morning hours or in the evening so as not to burn the foliage. It is necessary to loosen the soil and mulch with straw. This allows for air circulation in the soil and prevents it from drying out prematurely.

To strengthen the root system, the bushes are hilled and fertilized in a timely manner. The first fertilizing is applied to the soil 15 days after transplantation during watering.

During active growth, Pink Spam f1 is fertilized with nitrogen, and at the time of flowering with potassium salt and superphosphate. This will have a beneficial effect on fruit set and will serve as the prevention of diseases in the variety.

Without the formation of bushes, the volume of the harvest will decrease, so tying up the shoots is necessary. To do this, they are fixed using trellises.

Important! Wooden stakes with stretched ropes, metal grates or rings are used as tying devices. The main requirement is to create a strong support for the plant.

It is recommended to leave two main stems; side shoots and side shoots are removed. Yellowed and damaged leaf blades are torn off and care is taken to ensure that the fruits do not lie on the ground.

Features of the variety

Description of the variety Pink Spam characterizes it as indeterminate, producing rich harvests in the greenhouse and in open beds - up to 25 kg can be obtained from each square meter; for comparison, the variety Bull's Heart produces about 3.5 kg. Although in the southern regions the tomato grows well in open ground, as a hybrid variety, it is better adapted to greenhouse conditions. The height of the bushes reaches one and a half meters; the top of the shoot needs to be pinched. Tomato leaves are medium-sized, simple. The bush is formed into one or two stems, the remaining shoots are removed.

Beautiful heart-shaped tomato fruits of a rich pink color, brighter than the old variety, have smooth thin skin that is not prone to cracking. The Pink Spam variety, according to reviews, has good transportability, but does not withstand long-term storage. The fruits are multi-chambered and can weigh up to 200 g when ripe. The excellent taste of tomatoes allows them to be used fresh and in homemade preparations.

History and description of the variety

Orange Spam F1 is a relative of the older and more popular hybrid among amateur gardeners, Pink Spam. Both are products of selection by the Moscow agricultural company Semko. The orange tomato is more prolific and may well surpass its older brother in demand among gardeners. In 2015 it was included in the State Register.

The culture forms a bush of medium height, the first fruiting brush is laid above the 7-9 leaves. The leaf is a regular tomato leaf, medium size. The tomatoes are not large, but not small either, quite meaty, dense and tasty. The orange color is not always uniform. There is a small green spot on the ripe fruit. Up to 6 tomatoes are tied on one brush.

Preparing seedlings

The development of tomato and its fruiting depend on growing conditions. It is most convenient to grow this hybrid variety in seedlings.

Seed treatment

Planting seeds for seedlings must be done two months before transplanting into the ground. Typically this period occurs in the middle or end of March, depending on the type of region. However, first the hybrid seeds should be treated:

• soak for half an hour in a weak solution of potassium permanganate;
• rinse with water;
• To accelerate growth, place it in a stimulant for an hour - it can be prepared from a teaspoon of honey and a glass of water;
• spread on paper to dry.

Soil composition

In order for Pink Spam tomato seedlings to turn out to be of high quality, reviews advise ensuring the correct composition of the soil. It can be purchased at the store, but it is best to take soil from the area where the tomato will grow and prepare a substrate based on it:

• the mixture should contain equal amounts of peat, sand and garden soil;
• adding a small amount of wood ash will reduce acidity and disinfect the soil;
• Additionally, you can disinfect the substrate with potassium permanganate.

Sowing seeds

Dried tomato seeds should be placed on the surface of the substrate and sprinkled with a centimeter layer of soil. After this, the boxes with crops are covered with transparent film or glass and placed in a warm place. The germination of seeds of a hybrid variety depends on their freshness, which must be taken into account when purchasing.

When the first shoots of Pink Spam tomatoes appear, reviews with photos show that the transparent coating needs to be removed and the boxes with tomato seedlings should be placed in a sufficiently lit place, but without direct sunlight. The most comfortable temperature for seedling growth is +23 degrees

The soil should be periodically carefully moistened with a spray bottle, avoiding drops of water from falling on the still tender tomato leaves.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the fruit include:

• high productivity;
• early fruit ripening;

Features of the fruit

The Pink Spam tomato variety bears fruit on simple clusters, each of which produces 4-5 fairly large tomatoes. The average weight of 1 fruit ranges from 200-350 g. Larger specimens can grow on the lower tiers: each bush produces a harvest of tomatoes, the weight of which reaches 400-500 g. The berry shape is heart-shaped.

The skin is strong, but not rough. It reliably protects the ovaries from cracking during growth and maturation. The fruits do not have good shelf life, but can retain their presentation for several days even when stored outside the refrigerator. Pink Spam tomatoes are quite transportable, and in an unripe state they can withstand very long transportation, ripening within 3-5 days.

The color of a tomato at biological ripeness is raspberry-pink. Berries that ripen in open ground sometimes have greenish areas on the shoulders. The fruit at technical ripeness is pale green, with a dark spot at the base.

The flesh is well colored, pink, without a light area in the center of the tomato. The consistency is delicate, oily, very juicy. The structure of the fruit is characteristic of beef tomatoes: the seed chambers are small, almost without seeds, located near the outer wall of the berry. The core is solid and fleshy. The characteristics and description of the variety indicate the high taste qualities of hybrid tomatoes. The high sugar content makes them sweet, without pronounced sourness.

Sweet and early varieties have a salad purpose. The structural features make it possible to use Pink Spam not only for salads.

Tomatoes of this type are suitable for gazpacho and similar dishes, and serve as a good ingredient in Italian sauce or soup dressing.

Tomatoes can be harvested for future use. Children like the unusual colors of processed tomato products (juice or sauce). Pink tomatoes contain little acid, so they and products based on them are recommended to be included in baby and dietary foods.

Characteristics of tomato Pink Spam

The multi-chambered fruits of Pink Spam are endowed with thin skin and medium-density pulp. They contain a wide variety of useful components. At the time of ripening, antioxidants, large amounts of pectin, vitamin C, sugar, etc. accumulate in the fruits.

The shape of the tomatoes is round or heart-shaped. Many consumers note that the described hybrid is somewhat sweeter and tastier than the original variety from which Pink Spam was obtained. This tomato is used in various ways, various salads are prepared, sauces and pastes are cooked, juices are prepared for future use, etc.

The indeterminate type of plant is capable of growing indefinitely; this process can only be stopped by pinching the top. Like all hybrids, this tomato develops and bears fruit best in greenhouse conditions, but do not assume that this variety cannot be cultivated in open beds.

Is it inconvenient to carry heavy hoses across the beds?

Garden hoses are often too heavy, get twisted, and get dirty. In this case, water consumption is often not controlled in any way, and it can take a whole day to water the entire area. Fortunately, autonomous irrigation is no longer a novelty and is available to any gardener. But the main thing is that when watering with a regular hose, sunburn appears on the leaves of plants, which means.

An early ripening plant gives a harvest 3.5 months after germination. The marketability of the vegetable is expressed in yield; from each bush you can get up to 10-12 kg of sweet tomatoes. In addition, it is worth noting the ability of the hybrid to form an ovary together. The fruits have no tendency to crack.

Pink spam has not only advantages, but also some disadvantages. The main one is considered to be low keeping quality. Perhaps, for some gardeners, special care for the plant will be a disadvantage. The hybrid is susceptible to some diseases, such as the fungal disease late blight (see photo).

The shape of the tomatoes is round or heart-shaped

With proper cultivation and timely implementation of preventive procedures, this trouble can be circumvented. The disease most often occurs when there is excess moisture, in cloudy and cool weather. Favorable conditions for the appearance of late blight on bushes can be dense plantings, excess foliage on bushes and poor ventilation of the greenhouse.

Preventive measures include mulching the holes in which tomato bushes grow, spraying vegetables with biological products Trichodermin and Fitosporin.

It is necessary to form a hybrid during development from an early age, because the plant is actively growing leaves and shoots. This specimen is formed into 1 trunk, it is attached vertically to a strong support. The bushes have simple inflorescences, the first ovary is formed above the 8-9 leaf, all subsequent ones - after 3 leaves.

Pink spam has not only advantages, but also some disadvantages. The main one is considered to be low keeping quality

Due to their high growth, tomatoes require more feeding. In the initial period of development, plants need more nitrogen; this fertilizer helps rapid growth. Phosphorus supplements strengthen plant immunity. During the period when vegetables are gaining weight and ripe, you should not feed them with nitrogen; tomatoes need potassium and phosphorus supplements to develop their taste.

Characteristics of the tomato variety

The description of the variety is similar to Bull's Heart tomatoes. From its predecessor, Pink Spam inherited the specific development, color and size of tomatoes. According to the ripening period, the variety belongs to the early ripening varieties (the ripening period of tomatoes is 95 - 100 days). The hybrid is suitable for growing in greenhouses, but in the southern regions it has performed well when grown in open ground. The variety is resistant to viral diseases and tolerant to late blight. Tomatoes are used for fresh consumption and canning.

According to its economic significance, Pink Spam is a tomato of an indeterminate type of development. Indeterminateness is the tendency of shoots to grow endlessly one after another. This process can be stopped by tying the bush at the required height to a vertical support and pinching off excess branches. Without support, the bushes will fall to the ground, which will lead to rotting of the fruits.

This feature has its own nuances:

• a tall stem guarantees good yield;
• a tied plant is easier to care for;
• additional costs are required for the preparation of supports;
• longer fruiting period compared to similar varieties;
• requires constant pinching so as not to overload the barrel.

Characteristics of tomatoes:

• the hybrid has uniform heart-shaped, sometimes round, fruits;
• inside the tomato is pink, fleshy, multi-chambered;
• average weight is 150 – 300 grams;
• smooth thin skin, resistant to cracking;
• The fruits are suitable for transportation over long distances, but are not suitable for storage.

“Pink Spam” tomatoes are a hybrid whose ancestor is the “Bull’s Heart” variety. From the latter, “Pink Spam” took its shape, growth characteristics and coloring.

The plant itself belongs to the indeterminate type, i.e. grows throughout the entire period of life. To limit its height, you need to crop the tops. To prevent the plant from expanding too much to the sides, remove excess trunks and branches. In general, the bush is grown into one trunk.

Tomato "Pink Spam F1" produces a bountiful harvest. You can harvest up to 6 kg of tomatoes from one bush. The fruits themselves are large, can reach a weight of 300 g. The pulp is juicy, with a rich taste. One tomato contains a small amount of seeds. The color of tomatoes is predominantly pink, but there are also fruits with a bright orange color. Orange spam differs from its counterpart only in color, but has the same characteristics.

The fruits tolerate transportation well, but are not stored for a long time. Therefore, after collection, they need to be eaten or processed. Pink Spam makes excellent canned tomatoes, juices and sauces.

Due to their excellent taste, these tomatoes have a high commercial value. Immediately after harvesting, they are easily transported over long distances and retain their excellent appearance for a long time.

Ripening is early, the first fruits suitable for consumption appear three months after planting the seedlings in open ground.

Tomatoes of this variety, according to the description and characteristics, are eaten fresh, and delicious vegetable salads and snacks are made from them. The tomato skin is very thin, and the flesh is dense, juicy, and sweetish in taste.

Gardeners do not recommend using tomatoes for canning. According to experienced gardeners, this tomato variety is rarely affected by viral diseases; its fruits develop well provided proper care is provided.

In the middle zone, experts recommend growing tomatoes of this variety in greenhouse conditions. In the south of Russia, tomatoes grow well both in greenhouses and in open ground.

The weight of the fruit reaches from 150-300 g. Tomatoes, according to the description and characteristics, most often have a beautiful heart-shaped shape, less often they are round.

Expert opinion

Yulia Yurievna

I have a large garden and vegetable garden, several greenhouses. I love modern methods of cultivating plants and mulching the soil, and I share my experience.

Ask a Question

According to reviews, the Pink Spam tomato fruits are large in size, and in addition, this is a tall variety. Therefore, even before planting, both in open ground and in a greenhouse, it is important to take care of the trellis. It is better to use just such fastenings, rather than single pegs. This will ensure better ventilation of the bush, as well as simplify care and harvesting.

You can buy a special trellis that resembles a mesh with large cells, or prepare supports yourself. To do this, you should drive two posts on both sides of the bed. The length of each should be about 2.5 meters, since the vines of such a tomato grow up to 2 meters, and a significant part of the support must be dug into the ground to ensure the stability of the structure.

Before starting work, you can make notches on the pillars to make it easier to secure the horizontal supports. In addition, to make the entire structure last longer, it is better to open the support posts with protective material. If they are wooden, you can use varnish, and metal elements should be coated with an anti-rust and corrosion agent.

Horizontal fastenings can be made from twine or wire. Tomato branches should be tied as they grow, but so as not to harm the movement of juices. It is better to remove the lower leaves on the bush.

Technological operations for growing tomatoes

Growing tomatoes for gardeners does not pose any particular difficulties, but not everyone is able to obtain a high-quality product. The yield of the crop depends on the growing technology, the characteristics of the tomato variety, and climatic conditions.

Soil preparation

To rationally use the space of a greenhouse or garden when growing tomatoes, the seedling method is used. Seeds are sown in special containers with drainage holes or cassettes, then transferred to a permanent place.

Ordinary soil is not suitable for planting tomato seeds for seedlings, so a suitable nursery needs to be filled with seeding substrate.

Unlike other vegetables, tomatoes grow well in salty and highly acidic soils. The removal of nutrients from the soil per 1 ton of fruit is N - 3.2; P2 O5 - 1.1; K2 O - 4.6.

The land required for planting tomato seedlings must meet the following requirements:

• high porosity - 65 - 75%;
• low moisture capacity - 45 - 50%;
• air capacity - 20 - 25%;
• density - 0.4 - 0.6 g/cm².

Planting seeds

Tomatoes are very picky about temperature. Tomatoes should be sown when the soil warms up to 16 °C. The normal growth and ripening time of this tomato variety depend on temperature.

Sowing of seeds is carried out to a depth of 0.5 - 1 cm at a distance of 2 cm, the distance between rows is 4 cm. To sow tomatoes, use a hand seeder or a toothpick soaked in water. After this, the substrate is sprinkled with earth and moistened with warm water.

Before sowing, you can check the germination of seeds. To do this, lower the planting material into a container of water for a few minutes. Those tomato seeds that sink to the bottom of the container are considered suitable for planting.

Next, the cassettes or boxes are covered with film and transferred to a bright, dry place without drafts. The first and important point for obtaining friendly shoots is maintaining humidity within 75 - 80% before germination. To do this, water the tomato nursery at least once a week.

Seedling care

The place where the seedlings grow should be well ventilated. The air temperature should be within 18 degrees, during the transplantation period - 16 °C. When two true sheets appear, the picking process is carried out. This usually happens 11 - 12 days after sowing. Tomato bushes should be replanted in a place with good lighting, but without direct sunlight.

During this period, the first feeding of tomatoes with complex fertilizer (superphosphate, azophosphate, potassium nitrate) is carried out. The second feeding is carried out two weeks later. When the seedlings reach 20 cm in height, after the appearance of 9 - 10 well-developed leaves, they must be planted in a permanent place of growth.

Planting on the beds

Depending on the germination temperature and region, the transplantation period begins from April 15 to May 15. It should be planted in fluffy soil fertilized with organic fertilizer. In order for the bed to warm up evenly, it is necessary to plant in the north-south direction - this way the tomatoes will not shade each other, which will make it possible to obtain evenly aligned seedlings.

For indeterminate varieties of tomatoes, a two-band planting scheme is used: row spacing - 60 - 70 cm, between adjacent beds - 90 - 100 cm, distance in the row - 50 - 55 cm.

Diseases and pests

The manufacturer indicates that the Pink Spam tomato variety has high immunity to various fungal and viral diseases. However, for better yields, it is recommended to carry out preventive measures. Spraying of tomatoes is carried out in dry and windless weather. In case of fungal infection, fungicidal agents (Thanos, Quadris) are used. To prevent late blight, you should adhere to the correct watering regime and periodically treat the plantings with Bordeaux mixture. Among the pests, tomatoes are threatened by Colorado potato beetles, mole crickets, cutworms, whiteflies, thrips and aphids. A soap solution is used against aphids. To repel parasites, tobacco, hot pepper, and infusion with mustard and ash are used. In advanced cases, insecticides are used.
