The plant has a strong trunk and spreading branches. The foliage is narrow, of regular shape, light green in color, and does not densely fill the bush. The Heartbreaker variety is mid-season. From the moment of the first shoots to the first harvest, about 110 days pass.

The tomato inflorescence is normal, the first ovary is formed after 5-6 leaves. There are usually 3-4 large fruits on the hand. Heartbreaker tomatoes produce extended fruiting. The variety has high yield. From 1 bush you can harvest 5 kg of tomatoes per season.

This type of tomato receives the best reviews from both consumers and gardeners, who note not only its excellent taste, but also its ease of cultivation. The plant has good immunity to many fungi and pests, and is resistant to late blight and tomato mosaic.

Gardeners, despite its stability, still recommend periodically preventative spraying of the beds before the fruits appear. Before sowing seeds, you can disinfect planting material with special preparations.

Characteristics, ripening period

The Heartbreaker variety belongs to the type of medium-sized, mid-ripening tomatoes. An adult bush reaches a length of about one meter. This variety is notable for the fact that it does not require any special additional care: the plant does not take steps. The leaves also do not need pruning, since there are few of them.

To obtain the maximum number of fruits in the central part of Russia, it is recommended to plant plants in a greenhouse. In most cases, they are planted in open ground only in the southern regions.

Bull's heart orange F1

It is grown by seedlings. The Bull's Heart variety is considered a demanding variety of tomatoes.

We plant the ox heart without any shelter. We follow all the rules of agricultural technology. To avoid fungal diseases, we carry out preventive measures a few weeks after planting. Tomatoes grow big and don’t get sick. Irina

Preparing seeds for sowing

Seeds are sown in early spring. The seeds of the plant can be prepared independently in the fall, so they retain their varietal qualities. The exception is the varieties - F1 hybrids.

The following activities should be carried out:

1. Place the seed material in melt water for 12 hours. You can take clean snow and put it in a warm place, or take ice out of the freezer. Melt water should be at room temperature.
2. Disinfect the seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate. Seeds are poured into a slightly pink solution of potassium permanganate and kept for no more than 45 minutes. Then pour the liquid into a strainer. The remaining seeds are washed with clean water.

Brad's black heart tomato

For me, “Bull’s Heart” matures very slowly. By the end of summer, pink specimens only appear. The main part ripens after harvest. I get no more than four tomatoes in my brush. Sidorenko

Sowing seedlings

Soil from the store is selected from the island. If the soil mixture is prepared independently, it should include:

• leaf soil
• peat
• river sand
• humus

Traditionally, wooden boxes or plastic containers are chosen as containers for planting. Fill the container with soil so that the soil does not reach 3 cm to the edges.

Sowing is carried out in pre-treated, moist, warm soil. Sowing depth – 1-2 cm. Distance between adjacent seeds – 2-3 cm.

Ripe tomato White Oxheart

After planting, the boxes are covered with transparent glass, a bag and placed in a warm place. After the first shoots appear, the shelter is removed. The box is placed in a bright place in the house.

Picking is done after the formation of 2-3 true leaves. At the same time, weak plants are removed and strong ones are transplanted into separate cups or into a more spacious box.

Hardening of seedlings

The process of hardening seedlings

Before transplanting to a permanent place, it is recommended to harden off the grown seedlings. To do this, on warm, sunny days they are taken out to the balcony, loggia or garden. The time spent in the air is increased daily.

Transplanting seedlings

Seedlings are transplanted into the greenhouse at the end of April, beginning of May. The exact timing depends on climatic conditions and the availability of heating in the greenhouse. It is recommended to plant tomatoes in open ground only in the second half of May and early June, when the danger of night frosts has passed.

Bull heart pink

If it is cold or damp outside, it is recommended to postpone transplanting seedlings to a permanent location until weather conditions improve.

Soil preparation

The soil in the area for tomatoes must contain a sufficient amount of nutrients and be air and water permeable. The pH of the soil should be between 6-6.5. You should choose a part of the garden with plenty of sunlight, but without drafts and close groundwater.

Soil preparation

It is recommended to prepare the place for seedlings in the fall by adding organic fertilizers to the ground during digging. If the soil was not enriched with organic matter at the end of the season, in the spring you should add 8-10 kg of compost or humus per m2.

It is also useful to sow green manure plants in the tomato plot in early spring:

• radish
• alfalfa
• mustard
• phacelia, etc.

If nutrients were not added either in the fall or in the spring, mineral fertilizers should be added to each hole during planting. For example, 1 tsp. nitrophoska.

The best predecessors for tomatoes: onions, root vegetables, legumes, cabbage, annual herbs.

Rules for landing in a permanent place

When growing Oxheart tomatoes in a greenhouse, be prepared for the tomatoes to take up most of the cover. This is due to the fact that they are planted in a greenhouse, leaving a distance of 1 m between the beds. The distance between two bushes is at least 40 cm.

Planting depth is 12-15 cm. Planting to a greater depth is possible, but about 4-5 cm should remain between the surface of the earth and the first true leaf. According to experienced vegetable growers, 1/3 of the stem can be buried - up to the cotyledon leaves, but not more.

Planting seedlings in open ground

If the seedlings are planted under cover, the air temperature in it should be 20-22 C during the day and 16-18 C at night. Until the seedlings take root, it is recommended to shade them during the hot sun.

We have many years of experience in growing the variety. In central Russia they do not ripen on bushes. Therefore, either they should initially be planted under cover, or already green tomatoes should be brought home and left to ripen in a warm place. But in a greenhouse they are more likely to suffer from late blight. Lyudmila The best 46 varieties of tomatoes for the greenhouse: descriptions with photos and reviews about them

Plant care is no different from other nightshade varieties and includes:

• watering
• feeding
• loosening
• ventilation of greenhouses
• stepsoning
• mulching
• tying

Watering

The variety is considered drought-resistant. After transplanting to a permanent place, during the rooting of newly planted young plants, there is no need to water them. As soon as the bushes begin to actively grow, watering can be resumed.

On average, for 1 m2 of beds 1-2 times a week you need 5-7 liters of liquid for young plants, 12 liters for adult bushes.

Watering tomatoes over the leaves can cause fungal diseases

On hot days, during the ripening of tomatoes, the maximum amount of water is required - up to 15 l/m2.

For irrigation, you should use warm (20-22 C) settled water. The soil should be moistened early in the morning or evening. Bull's heart tomatoes should be watered only at the root, avoiding water getting on the stem and leaves.

Ventilation of the greenhouse

On warm days, greenhouses need to be ventilated daily. In hot weather, shelter windows should be kept open. Overheating the room can hinder the pollination process.

When growing tomatoes, the greenhouse must be regularly ventilated

The air humidity under the shelter should be 65-70%.

Planted in the Pushkinsky district of the Moscow region. I couldn't ripen them outdoors in open ground. My mother-in-law planted it under cover, and it was ripe before it was removed. Tigrov

Bush formation

Bull's heart bears fruit well when the bushes form into one stem. The top of the stem is removed when 7-8 clusters with fruits form on the plant.

Stepsoning

"Bull's Heart" is heavily overgrown with stepsons. If you do not remove them in time, this leads to the fact that the bushes devote all their energy to their growth. At the same time, the fruits grow small. Therefore, this variety is not recommended for novice gardeners to plant.

Bull's heart tomatoes need staking

Pinching is the removal of excess shoots on the leaf axils. It is recommended to remove the stepsons when their length has not yet reached 5 cm. Until this moment, there is no risk of injury to the plants. The growth of such shoots must be monitored regularly. Usually the need to remove new stepsons arises every week.

Top dressing

During the growing season, tomatoes are fed 3-4 times. If signs of deficiency of any elements are noticed, the number of procedures can be increased. But nutrient mixtures are applied no more than once every 2 weeks, alternating root and foliar feeding.

Fertilizing

It is recommended to use organic matter as fertilizer. For example, chicken manure, diluted with water in a ratio of 1:15, cow manure - 1:10. Minerals can only be applied 2 months before harvest.

Recipes for preparing natural fertilizers for tomatoes

No. 1. Iodine Place 4 drops of iodine in a bucket of water. Water 2 liters for each plant. The product is not only a fertilizer, but also helps the bushes resist late blight. No. 2. Ash Add 100 g of ash to a bucket of water. Water under each bush. No. 3. Herbal infusion Add 5 buckets of water to 5 kg of cut grass. Add some ash and mullein. Keep for several days. Water is added to the liquid so that the final volume is 100 liters. To water 1 bush you need 2 liters of mixture. No. 4. Yeast 11 g of dry yeast are diluted in warm water. Add 2 tbsp. Sahara. The resulting mixture is poured into a bucket of water. Each tomato is watered at the root with 500 ml of liquid.

Feeding tomatoes with natural fertilizers allows you to get an environmentally friendly product

Tying up

Plants with long stems can be tied up immediately after planting to a permanent place of growth. To do this, usually take a peg about 2 m long and bury it in the ground next to the bush.

Then the stem is tied to this peg. To prevent the top of the plant from drooping and breaking under the weight of the fruit, the location of tying is changed as it grows.

The long stems of the plant do not allow it to be grown without tying it up

You need to make sure that the tomatoes do not come into contact with the ground, as in this case they begin to darken and rot.

Mulching

The ground can be mulched with sawdust, peat, straw, etc.

To facilitate the process of caring for bushes, the ground under them can be covered with a 5 cm layer of mulch.

It performs the following functions:

• holds water in the soil
• eliminates the possibility of weed growth
• protects tomatoes in contact with the ground from rotting

Pollination

Tomatoes growing outdoors can easily be pollinated by insects and wind. There is no free air circulation in the greenhouse, so it is recommended for such plants to help in this process.

Greenhouse tomatoes sometimes need help with pollination

During flowering, some gardeners recommend simply tapping the pegs to which the plants are tied. This should be done in the morning or in the evening. Landscaping your site with your own hands - (130+ Photos of ideas & Videos) + Reviews
