Secrets of Bountiful Harvests

To enjoy fresh tomatoes throughout the year, you should plant varieties with different fruiting periods.
Plum-shaped tomatoes with small fruits grow well on a windowsill in winter, followed by greenhouse representatives of larger sizes with early and medium ripening periods. Many of them bear fruit until frost. Whatever varieties and hybrids are chosen, all are grown through seedlings. March days are best for sowing plum tomato seeds.

The initial stage of cream tomatoes in Russian regions is no different from other varieties and hybrids. Sow seeds in soil rich in nutrients and set up a mini-greenhouse. The room temperature is maintained at least 25 degrees.

Good lighting (at least 14 hours of daylight) and timely feeding will allow tomato seedlings to develop well. Pale leaves and thin, elongated stems will signal a lack of light. Strong bushes with several true tomato leaves dive into separate pots.

The second stage is the active development of the tomato bush. During this period, the plant receives moisture and nutrition. The watering regime must be treated with particular care. Excess water provokes fungal infections in plum tomatoes. Loosening, mulching the soil and airing allow you to regulate the level of humidity around the seedlings. The optimal air humidity for plum tomatoes is 50-60%.

The third stage of tomato development is the planting of bushes in the ground in a permanent place immediately after spring frosts, usually mid-May or early June. By this time, the seedlings already have a developed root system, a strong trunk with a crown of several leaves. The planting pattern for plum tomatoes is checkerboard, the interval between holes depends on the dimensions of the future bush.

Every 14 days, tomato plantings are fertilized with complex compounds containing phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen fertilizing is applied before flowering, so that the plant does not actively begin to grow its crown instead of fruits.

Warning! Late blight is the main enemy of plum-shaped varietal tomatoes. It is imperative to treat the bushes.

The bushes need a lot of sunlight. Lack of light will lead to loss of flower stalks and crops.

The fourth stage is the most enjoyable - harvesting. At this point, if there was enough light, nutrition and moisture, the tomato bushes look healthy, with beautiful, even, tasty tomatoes of the expected size hanging on them.

The temperature inside the greenhouse should not rise above 30 degrees. Pollen is sterilized at such temperatures and there will be no ovaries.

The temperature when growing tomatoes in greenhouses is regulated by ventilation, mulching the soil, and not watering. Watering should be regular and moderate. The volume of moisture increases slightly during the period of active fruit filling. Excess water will lead to shedding of flowers and ovaries, and very rarely to cracks in tomatoes.

Following simple rules will allow you to harvest an enviable harvest of plum tomatoes.

Features of care

Despite the unpretentiousness of the Slivovka variety, to achieve high yields, agrobiologists recommend following the basic rules of plant care:

1. You should start germinating seeds in mid-March, but no later than the 20th. At the germination stage, seedlings require moderate and regular watering, ventilation and illumination with ultraviolet lamps.
2. Agronomists recommend hardening off newlywed Slivovka bushes before transplanting them into open ground.
3. For rapid growth and development of seedlings, it is time to use biostimulants.
4. It is recommended to introduce mineral or organic fertilizers into the soil at the dacha before planting seedlings.
5. It is prohibited to grow tomatoes for 2 summers in a row in one place.
6. Young bushes of Slivovka need picking after the appearance of 2 true leaves.
7. The bed on which it is planned to grow tomatoes should be prepared in the fall. Transplanting seedlings to a permanent place of growth is only possible after the end of frost. During transplantation into the garden, young plants need a large amount of nutrients. Natural fertilizers will help ensure their presence.
8. Agronomists recommend not to give up mulching the soil. Observe moderate watering, without over-wetting the soil, regularly loosen the soil.
9. Amazing time of ovary formation and fruit formation, mineral fields should be introduced).
10. It is necessary to remove weeds in a timely manner to prevent their growth. They provoke soil oxidation and threaten the health of tomatoes.

Evaluation of varieties by gardeners

The summer resident complains: she planted Slivovka in the greenhouse. She fed, watered, ventilated. The bushes are stretched, fattening, there are few tomatoes. Not surprising: the variety is designed for reactive fruiting in short summers. Other conditions are not suitable.

A gardener from the Moscow region: “We plant Slivovka in May under film. We cover the beds with straw. After frost we remove the cover. All! All that remains is to eat tomatoes. We roll them whole into jars and eat them fresh. At the end of July we collect the remains. They ripen well at home. We eat tomatoes until the beginning of November.”

Agricultural technology of tomatoes Cream

This variety is grown according to the same principle as any other tomato variety - in seedlings.

Productivity primarily depends on the quality of the seeds used:

• They should not be hollow, which is easy to check by immersing them in a saline solution. Full-bodied seeds will sink to the bottom, and those that float should be discarded;
• Deformed seeds are also not used - they will produce low-quality seedlings;
• To prevent diseases, seeds are disinfected by immersing them in a solution of hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate for 10 minutes.

Note! To speed up germination, after planting the seeds, it is recommended to cover the soil in the seedling box with a damp cloth. The soil should also be disinfected and then fertilized

To avoid excess moisture, containers for seedlings are chosen with drainage holes. 2 months after sowing, seedlings can be sent to the beds using a standard step-by-step planting algorithm

The soil should also be disinfected and then fertilized. To avoid excess moisture, containers for seedlings are chosen with drainage holes. 2 months after sowing, the seedlings can be sent to the beds using the standard step-by-step planting algorithm.

When caring for cream, special attention is paid to fertilizing. Experienced summer residents offer several options for nutrient mixtures to which this variety of tomatoes is responsive.

Fertilizers for tomatoes Cream

Organic fertilizers are applied to the soil in the fall when digging the area prepared for planting tomatoes next year.

Watering

Cream varieties do not like dry weather, so they need to be watered regularly. But excess moisture is not allowed - this is harmful to the root system. Therefore, during the rainy season and in cool weather, watering is not carried out.

Drip irrigation of tomatoes

The water should be warm enough so that the plants do not get sick. Only the soil around the trunk is watered. To prevent moisture from getting on the foliage and fruits, it is advisable to equip the beds with drip irrigation.

Diseases

On a note! Not all varieties of Cream are disease resistant. To get rid of fungi and bacteria, it is recommended to treat the bushes with Fitosporin, Fundazol, Ridomil. When the first signs of the disease are detected, limp and affected leaves and stems must be removed immediately. To reduce the risk of damage, tomatoes should not be planted next to or after potatoes.

Secrets of a good harvest

This variety of tomato produces an excellent harvest, but it can be significantly increased by following some recommendations:

• young seedlings must be fed with special liquid fertilizers;
• during transplantation into the ground, it is advisable to treat the root system with special means for better rooting;
• you should not bet on weak seedlings; careful selection of plants will ultimately help you get a much better result;
• It is optimal to use a drip irrigation system or apply water to each bush in doses;
• Mulching of bushes is carried out with freshly cut grass, straw or hay.

Description of tomato Slivovka

There are many different types of tomatoes, each of them differs from each other in its characteristics and qualities and, most importantly, in yield. The Slivovka tomato is a relatively new and interesting species that was created using hybridity.

Description of tomato Slivovka

Description of the variety

Tomatoes of this type grow short, about 40-45 cm. They are classified as determinate varieties of tomatoes. The structure of the fruits is round and slightly oblong, somewhat reminiscent of small zucchini. They are also often compared to plums because of their shape, which is where the name Slivovka comes from. The fruits are always just red, rich and ruddy. The total weight of one fruit is usually from 75 grams. and up to 110 gr. The very first fruits will be the largest, and then, when the bush grows, there will be more fruits, but their mass will change slightly.

The variety is considered universal, so the fruits are also used for fresh use, and are also suitable for canning, tomato, and dressing. Often one bush is 2-3 stems, but most often only 2 are used. It can be planted in open ground; the soil is not important for this variety.

Positive aspects of the variety

Absolutely any plant has its positive and negative sides. Rarely are negative aspects noticed in this species. And, if you believe the reviews of many gardeners, there are none at all.

The positive aspects are presented below.

1. The fruits are distinguished by their versatility, ripen well and grow to medium sizes. They have a pleasant and rich taste. Some say that it has a sweet taste with sourness, while others say that the variety is generally sweet.
2. Interesting and attractive external characteristics, beautiful appearance, which gives a big plus to the Slivovka variety.

They should be placed in wooden boxes, preferably with newspaper between each layer, and of course, moisture and temperature must be taken into account. According to reviews from gardeners, it is clear that this variety can last until the New Year.

Negative points

The description of the variety demonstrates that tomatoes also have some disadvantages. Sometimes there are situations when the seedling does not grow. This happens very rarely, and most often due to the fact that he is simply “capricious.” Perhaps he did not like the very fact that he was transported and planted from one conditions and soils to others. In this case, the bush will either simply grow poorly at first, or die completely. It is then that it is necessary to intensively provide fertilizer and humus, add calcium and watering.

Despite this disadvantage, such situations are rare. The tomato root system has good resistance. They can withstand severe frosts and severe drought, but then it is unlikely that good yields can be expected from them.

Rules for planting varieties

Most experts advise carrying out the sowing stage 30-33 days before the first warm weather. That is, it is best to do this in early spring, but when there is no longer frost. You can plant 3-4 pieces per m². seeds, but no more. This can lead to the roots growing incorrectly and, as a result, not taking the necessary vitamins from the soil and then you will not get a good harvest.

And of course, the most important rule is to fertilize the soil before planting the plant. First, the area needs to be dug up, and then only fertilized. Basically, as mentioned earlier, the plant can live and flourish in any soil.

Growing and Harvesting

Often, tomatoes are planted at the beginning of March and the end of April. On one plant they leave 2 stems, sometimes 3, but this phenomenon is very rare. The bush also needs to be tied up when it reaches its peak of ripening; the fruits will gain mass and break the branches.
