Description of tomato variety Killing power, its characteristics and yield

The Lethal Force tomato is designed for growing without shelter. A crop with high yield and decent taste of fruits. Caring for plants in open ground is standard.

Varietal qualities

The bushes are determinate, standard, growth ends at around 0.7–1 m. The stems are strong, well pubescent. Removal of stepsons is required before the first flower cluster. In terms of ripening time, it belongs to the early ripening group; from the emergence of seedlings to technical ripeness, 100–110 days pass.

Main characteristics of the fruit:

  • The color of ripe tomatoes is bright red;
  • round, smooth shape;
  • the pulp is sugary to break, the taste is sweet with a slight tomato sourness;
  • not prone to cracking, resistant to external damage;
  • They fit well and can withstand transportation without problems.

The ovaries of the variety are capable of developing under temperature fluctuations and unfavorable conditions. They don't crumble in the heat. Growing is rational in regions with short and cool summers. The plant is responsive to good care and feeding. Fruit weight up to 200 g. Productivity from one bush is about 5 kg. Tomatoes are suitable for use in any form.

Shows resistance to fusarium and late blight. Tomatoes on the bushes ripen at the same time - a feature that is confirmed by many reviews.

Seedlings are moved to open ground at the age of 50–60 days. For 1 sq. m area, 3–4 bushes are allowed. The distance between rows is 1 m, between plants 40–50 cm.

Fertilizers for tomatoes

The root system of the standard variety Lethal force occupies the upper layers of the soil, so the plant absorbs all fertilizing well. The first application of fertilizers is planned 10 days after planting young plants. Subsequent activities are carried out every two to three weeks.

The lack of certain microelements can be easily determined by the appearance of plants:

  1. Spots on leaves, stunted growth, curling of tops - phosphorus.
  2. Premature flowering, low yield, yellowing of the lower leaves - nitrogen.
  3. Active pinching, thinning shoots, rusty spot – potassium.

Complex mineral fertilizers are applied to the areas around the bushes. The following organic fertilizers for tomatoes are used: diluted mullein, chicken manure, and rotted compost.

Recommendations from the manufacturer

Producer of the Lethal Force variety is Siberian Garden. The seeds have good germination, the optimal germination temperature is +23…+25 °C. To stimulate growth and prevent diseases, the material is treated with preparations such as Fitosporin and Zircon. The products have a bacteriological and fungicidal effect on seeds.

Basic description of the tomato Killing power characterizes the variety as unpretentious in care. Compact plants do not require pinching or tying to trellises. To increase the number of fruits, remove all stems and leaves down to the lower flowering cluster. This is done gradually, starting when the bush gains a height of 20 cm. It is also advisable to get rid of the smallest fruits.

Beginner gardeners can grow tomatoes of the Lethal force variety. This crop is recommended for the Siberian climate.

Main characteristics

Ripening dates and regions for cultivation

The “Deadly Force” variety is a representative of tomatoes with early ripening periods. From the appearance of the first sprouts to the technical maturity of the fruit, 90-100 days will pass. The variety is created for cultivation in open ground in absolutely any region of the country. It tolerates heat well and is not afraid of cold weather and temperature fluctuations. But it is most popular in regions deprived of heat and sun. Because despite weather surprises, this tomato always produces an excellent harvest.

Productivity

The developers of the variety describe it as high-yielding, and numerous reviews from summer residents confirm this. In the open air, one bush produces up to 5 kg of tomatoes. The possibility of the formation of barren flowers in this variety is minimal. The ovaries set well, are not afraid of “temperature swings” and do not crumble in the heat.

Description of the plant

The variety is classified as determinant. The maximum height of the bush reaches one meter. The plants are strong, of medium foliage, with leaves of regular shape. Mandatory removal of stepsons and formation of a bush is not required, but with their help you can increase the mass of fruits. To increase the fruiting of this variety, breeders of the Siberian Garden recommend removing the stepsons before the formation of the first fruit cluster.

Fruit characteristics

Tomatoes of the “Deadly Force” variety have a regular, round, slightly ribbed shape, weighing on average about 150-200 g. Fully ripened tomatoes have a bright red color. The taste is excellent. The high sugar content and subtle sourness will appeal to many tomato lovers. The pulp is dense, juicy, multi-chambered, sugary, with a large number of seeds. The skin is smooth, dense, and not prone to cracking.

Agricultural technology

Sowing dates and seed preparation

When choosing a sowing date, they start from the expected time of transplanting tomatoes into open ground. Depending on the terrain and climate, the sowing of “Deadly Force” is carried out from March to mid-April. The seedlings will be ready for transplanting in 50-55 days. By this time, warm weather has already established itself, without the threat of night frosts.

Seeds purchased from do not require dressing. But tomatoes collected from their own need to be processed. To do this, they are soaked in a strong solution of potassium permanganate for 30 minutes.

For purchased and your own seeds, it would be good to harden them. This procedure involves cyclically moving seeds from a warm environment to a cold one. The seeds, wrapped in a damp cloth, are placed in the refrigerator overnight and in a warm place for the day. Repeat the procedure for 3-4 days. Thanks to the hardening of planting material, adult plants are not afraid of even critically low temperatures.

Preparing the soil for sowing

Preparing the soil for seedlings is a very important stage in growing tomatoes. The quality of the soil determines how strong and healthy the seedlings will be. Regardless of whether the soil is purchased or prepared independently, it must be fertile, loose in structure and moisture-absorbing. Before sowing, any soil needs to be disinfected. This can be done in the following ways:

Etching

The soil is generously shed with a crimson-colored solution of potassium permanganate. This solution kills harmful microorganisms and saturates the soil with manganese and potassium.

Freezing

The soil is left to freeze at a temperature of -10 °C for 5-7 days. Then they are returned to a warm room for a period of about 10 days. In the warmth after such an artificial winter, pests and weed seeds will wake up. In order to completely destroy them, the earth is again sent to the frost and kept for at least 7 days.

Steaming

You can steam the soil using a colander in a water bath or in a microwave oven in a plastic bag. The time required to destroy pathogenic microorganisms in both cases is 10 minutes per liter of soil. After the procedure, the soil is dried.

Calcination

Slightly moistened soil is placed in a layer of 4-5 cm on a metal tray and calcined in the oven for half an hour at a temperature of 70-80 ° C.

When sterilizing the soil by any means, not only harmful microorganisms die, but also beneficial ones. Therefore, the earth is “revitalized” with the help of special commercially available biological products.

Now that the seed and soil are ready, you can start sowing. The seeds are planted to a depth of 1-2 cm, the soil is slightly pressed on top. If this is not done, the seedlings may sprout along with the seed coat. This will significantly slow down their growth and it will be difficult for them to catch up with their relatives in development.

Seedling care

After germination, the seedlings are watered as the soil dries. When the bushes grow 2-3 leaves, they are planted in separate pots. To ensure that all seedlings receive their normal amount of light and do not stretch out, containers with seedlings must be regularly turned to the light on the other side.

It is necessary to carefully monitor the appearance of the plants and if signs of nutrient deficiency are detected, it is necessary to apply appropriate fertilizer.

Transplantation into the ground

Tomatoes are planted in well-fertilized areas open to sunlight. It is better to do this in cloudy weather or in the evening, when the sun is no longer so active. The “Deadly Force” planting scheme is standard for determinate varieties. A distance of 50 cm is left between the bushes, 80 cm between the rows. There are 3-4 plants per square meter. You should not save space and plant bushes more often, this will negatively affect the yield. Tomatoes love to grow in space, so that each seedling has enough air and sun.

Caring for adult tomatoes

As noted earlier, pinching this variety is not a mandatory procedure. But putting up a support and tying up the plants will not be superfluous. Since it will be difficult for a small bush to hold a large number of fruits, and it may collapse. Pegs next to each bush will be enough for support.

The “Deadly Force” tomato is an unpretentious variety and does not require special attention, so caring for adult plants consists of regular watering, loosening and weeding. If desired, the bushes can be fed by alternating mineral fertilizers with organic ones, this will increase the yield and improve the taste of the fruit.

Purpose of the variety

The variety is considered universal and widely applicable in various fields. Tomatoes are good for fresh consumption and do not lose their attractiveness when canned. Early ripening, marketable appearance and excellent transportability make the variety suitable for commercial cultivation and good profit.

Interesting!

Tomatoes are not only tasty, but also a very healthy vegetable. Regularly eating tomatoes normalizes metabolism, improves water-salt balance, and normalizes blood pressure. Surprisingly, heat-treated tomatoes contain much more useful substances than fresh ones.

Variety value

Large farmers appreciated the variety for its large size, original color and juicy pulp, thanks to which it is popular with owners of restaurants and other food establishments. In addition, it is productive, disease resistant and tolerates transportation well. In addition to these qualities, summer residents appreciate it for its unpretentiousness and ease of care, which makes it possible to grow Libra tomatoes in home garden beds

The main advantages and disadvantages of Libra tomatoes

The main positive properties of the variety are:

  • the original color and large size give the tomatoes a competitive presentation;
  • productive, which makes it suitable for commercial cultivation;
  • suitable for transportation;
  • mid-early ripening;
  • resistant to diseases.

The variety has no significant drawbacks, although some complain about lower yields than declared. However, this is due to insufficient compliance with agricultural technology.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

The “Deadly Force” tomato has no disadvantages, but it has a number of advantages, for which gardeners fall in love:

  • high productivity;
  • resistant to extreme weather conditions;
  • is immune to diseases;
  • early ripening;
  • friendly return of the harvest;
  • does not require mandatory stepsoning;
  • good taste of fruits;
  • excellent transportability of tomatoes;
  • versatility of using tomatoes.

The “Deadly Power” variety combines all the qualities that an early-ripening variety should have for those regions where summer weather is unpredictable. By planting even a few bushes of this variety, a tomato harvest will be ensured.

We focus on the nature of development of the above-ground part of the tomato

The first thing you need to understand when choosing a variety is that all tomatoes differ in the nature of the development of the above-ground part. On this basis they are divided into indeterminate and determinate varieties.

Indeterminate varieties and hybrids of tomatoes are distinguished by unlimited growth and can reach a height of up to 6 m. In the middle zone and to the south, they are grown in greenhouses, forming a single stem. In the south they perform well in open ground. They are not used in the north because they do not have time to ripen either in open ground or in greenhouses.

  • Inflorescences in such tomatoes are formed every three leaves.
  • Up to 9 brushes can form on plants, the first of which appears above the 8th – 12th leaf, then after every 2nd.
  • These are remontant tomato varieties. They bloom and bear fruit repeatedly, stopping growth only when autumn temperatures drop.
  • In large-fruited tomato indeterminates, up to 4 fruits are formed in one cluster, in small-fruited tomatoes, cherry, up to 30.
  • The fruiting period of this group begins 110 – 120 days after the emergence of seedlings.
  • Due to their high growth, indeterminate tomatoes are less susceptible to late blight.

Determinate tomato varieties are characterized by limited growth (50 - 120 cm), one-time flowering, and the ability to form inflorescences on lateral branches. Determinate tomato varieties are used mainly for open ground (in the south and in the middle zone), and in the north for greenhouses. Need a simple garter.

  • Determinate tomato varieties plant about 5 bunches on one plant, forming them after 1 - 2 leaves.
  • The first inflorescence is formed above the 5th – 7th leaf.
  • Determinate tomato varieties have short internodes.
  • To obtain a full harvest, they require pinching.
  • Determinate tomato varieties begin bearing fruit 80–100 days after emergence.
  • They yield the harvest together - 50% of the fruits ripen during the first 20 days of the fruiting period.
  • They themselves stop growing after the formation of the last brush.

In the determinant group, superdeterminate and semi-determinate varieties are distinguished.

Superdeterminate tomatoes form a low (up to 80 cm) highly branched bush with 2–3 trusses, formed after 1–2 leaves already above the 5–6 leaf. These are early ripening tomato varieties that yield a good harvest and do not require pinching. In 20 days of the fruiting period, about 80% of all fruits ripen on them.

Semi-determinate tomatoes have weak determinacy and can grow up to 1.5 m in height, forming up to 6 - 8 inflorescences, the first of which is formed after 9 - 10 leaves, and the subsequent ones - after 2 - 3 leaves. They ripen at a later date. Need a garter. Formed into 2 shoots.

Standard tomatoes are the shortest growing ones. They do not need a garter and do not require pinching. Very early ripening, characterized by friendly yield. They not only have a compact bush, but also a small root system, thanks to which they can be grown in a denser planting. Some tomato varieties in this group are excellent for container culture. Most have increased resistance to stress. The first brush on such tomatoes is formed above the 4th - 5th leaf, the subsequent ones - after 1 - 2 leaves.

Resistance to adverse conditions, high yield

Flaws:

In 2021, the germination rate of some varieties has decreased

In the photo: ultra-early ripening variety “Sanka”

In the first year, I was so delighted with the harvest that I even wrote a letter of gratitude to the email address listed in the contacts on the Siberian Garden website. It was very touching (even unexpected) that I received an answer on the same day. They replied that they were also very pleased that I liked their products.

Unfortunately, stores that sell seeds do not always have the desired variety on sale. And my plot is small, and there’s nowhere to plant seedlings.

I just want to exclaim in Ranevskaya’s voice: “The kingdom is not enough, I have nowhere to roam!” Otherwise, I probably would have tried all the varieties of tomatoes from the Siberian Garden, I’m very pleased with the results (pah-pah, don’t jinx it).

Since our Bashkortostan bears the well-deserved name “The Land of Evergreen Tomatoes,” I try to buy early-ripening and early-ripening varieties of tomatoes—I simply won’t have time to ripen the late-ripening ones.

For our region with its continental climate, the Siberian Garden tomato seeds, in my opinion, are the most suitable. I recently purchased several varieties of tomatoes, all without exception from the Siberian Garden. Some of them are already familiar to me: Abakan pink, Sanka, Monastic meal. The rest are still new to me.

In 2021, I was especially pleased with the yield of the “Golden Heart” variety.

I regularly post reviews about “Siberian Garden” tomatoes, and I always include photos in the review. Therefore, those who are interested in my experience can read in detail about each variety of tomatoes I have grown.

Reviews

Yulia, 34 years old

We got 4 kg from the bush. I liked the taste, there is a good sourness, just how I like it. It ripened almost simultaneously all on the bush and was one of the first. 6 bushes were planted and they were all eaten with pleasure. There are a lot of seeds in tomatoes, of course I collected them. I shared it with my mother-in-law. This year we'll see who can harvest how much.

Lyudmila Borisovna, 58 years old

I planted it for two years in a row. The first year the summer was not very sunny and the bushes were not large, the tomatoes tasted so-so. And last year there was plenty of sun, so the bushes grew more than a meter and the tomatoes had a completely different taste - sweet, not watery. Overall, I’m pleased and added this variety to my list for this year. I like the fact that it sings early and you don’t have to go after it. The first year I salted the smaller ones and put the rest into lecho. And last year’s were all eaten fresh.

Nikolay, 50 years old

A neighbor gave me seedlings because they had just bought the plot. We planted 5 bushes in the garden bed, this is our first experience in growing not only tomatoes, but everything in general. They came on weekends and only watered. To be honest, we didn’t count on a harvest. We were very surprised when the bushes were first covered with tomatoes, and then they began to turn red right in the garden. Of course, we ate our first tomatoes with great pleasure at the beginning of July. The variety is really not whimsical and very productive.

For those who want to get a guaranteed harvest in the open ground without worries, the “Deadly Force” tomato is ideal. This super-yielding new product from the Siberian Garden will delight any gardener.

Borders of Dagestan - the southernmost region of Russia | ZdavNews.ru

Located at the junction of Europe and Asia, the Republic of Dagestan is located in the eastern Caucasus, the southernmost region of the Russian Federation. The borders of Dagestan cross the land and sea borders of five states - Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. Take cordons over the territories of Russia with the Chechen Republic, Stavropol Territory and Kalmykia.

The country of Dagestan has a total length from north to south of 400 kilometers, its living area is 50.3 thousand km2, and the coastline stretches for 530 km.

Russian-Azerbaijani border

Prostitute, the length of the bordering territories is 327.6 km, including river (55.2 km) and land (272.4 km) sections. Due to the agreement, which was signed on October 3, 2010 in Baku, the parameters between the states were officially established. But this treaty came into force at the time of exchange of ratification instruments - July 18, 2011.

There are control points on the borders of Dagestan and Azerbaijan, through which transport and pedestrian communications between the countries are carried out.

The extremities of the territory have three main sections - tau, foothill, passing along the Samur River, and lowland, located in the delta of the Samur River in the Caspian lowland.

The territorial cordons of Dagestan are equipped with modern tracking and protection equipment. The flat areas are equipped with barbed wire and video surveillance sensors.

River Samur

When dividing territorial lands, the issue of dividing the Samur River, the waters of which are used for irrigation by the two countries, was especially pressing.

In the region, at the request of Azerbaijan, water intake enterprises were built in order to provide fresh water to low-water lands in the territory of Dagestan.

During the collapse of the USSR, the government of Azerbaijan declared the hydroelectric complex its property, even though all enterprises are located within Russian territory.

Again, since the 1990s, the issue of delimitation of bordering territories and dividing in equal shares of freshwater resources obtained due to the exploitation of the Samur River has been urgently raised.

This issue was rejected by the Azerbaijani side, which argued the refusal due to the shortage of fresh water in mountainous areas and considered it economically unprofitable to reduce the volume of irrigation areas in the coastal lowlands.

The contradiction was resolved by signing Agreement No. 1416 of 28 May 2010 on the delimitation of borders. Which included a provision on the rationalization of the use and protection of the natural resources of the Samur River. The state volumes of Dagestan have changed, now passing through the middle of the hydroelectric complex. The same amount of environmental discharge was also set - 30.5%.

Northern borders of Dagestan

It runs along the dry bed of the Kuma River. The border between Dagestan and Kalmykia has a total length of about 110 kilometers. The main religion of the Kalmyks is Mahayana; their religious views in the territory inhabited by the Caucasian peoples, mainly preaching Mohammedanism, were the basis for many national conflicts.

Western region of Dagestan

The border between Dagestan and Chechnya passes in the west of the republic. Both the Chechen and Dagestan peoples led a gypsy way of life.

On the territory of the Republic of Chechnya, one nationality predominates - the Chechens, in which case the Republic of Dagestan is a multinational territory and has more than thirty different peoples.

Since ancient times, the Chechen peoples did not have their own statehood; all power was distributed based on the tribal system. During that period of time, the formation of state power among the Dagestan peoples is still mentioned in the 1st century BC.

These two nations preach Sunni submissiveness. However, on the territory of Dagestan, the beginning of the formation of religious traditions dates back to the 7th century AD and, continuing gradually, becomes part of the traditions of the people. The Chechen peoples entered the Islamic faith en masse in the 18th century, which is why the religion was not so deeply rooted among the population.

Between the republics there is a difference in language. Although they belong to the Caucasian language family, although due to linguistic differences, they cannot understand the friend's spine.

Today, the most pressing issue is about national relations on the border of Dagestan. Conflict situations are generated by the influence of centuries-old traditions of the Caucasian peoples, differences in religion, established state borders and personal hostility of neighboring peoples.

Care in the garden or in the greenhouse

Planting is carried out when the soil warms up to +16ºC. They are transplanted into greenhouses and shelters 10-15 days earlier than into ridges, making sure to shade the bushes from direct rays of the sun. 3-4 bushes are planted per square meter, avoiding thickening of the plantings.

Watering

They take into account the weather and the condition of the plants, avoiding waterlogging and drought. Tomatoes are watered once every 7-10 days, thoroughly soaking the soil. In hot weather, water more often, and also increase the volume at the stage of flowering and fruit formation. When the tomatoes begin to ripen, reduce the amount of water.

To preserve moisture in the soil, the ridges are mulched using humus, peat, grass clippings, and sawdust.

Features of hybrid formation

Tomatoes Bystrenok F1 need proper bush formation. The plant quickly sets fruits; without removing the stepsons, the bush becomes seriously overloaded with vegetative mass.

Stepchildren are removed at a length of 3-4 cm, leaving a stump. The procedure is carried out in the morning so that all wounds heal behind the shadow and do not become infected.

Feeding

You can count on high yields only by providing the early-ripening variety with high-quality nutrition. During cultivation, Bystrenok is “fed” up to five times, observing the dosage of fertilizers.

Standard scheme:

  • For the first time, diluted mullein and poultry droppings are introduced (approximately 16-20 days after planting);
  • the second time the hybrid is fed two weeks after the first “lunch” with diluted superphosphate and organic matter;
  • then a break of 10-14 days and the next third feeding with infusion of grass, ash, ready-made potassium-phosphorus mixtures;
  • the next feedings with a break of two weeks, taking into account the condition of the tomatoes. Potassium and phosphorus are added, and the plantings are sprayed with yeast infusions and a solution of boric acid to increase productivity.

Harvest

Early tomato is distinguished by its fruit yield, so harvesting is carried out quickly. The fruits are picked green and placed for ripening. Seeds are not collected from hybrids for sowing, but some gardeners prefer to leave the fruits on the bushes until they are fully ripe. It is believed that the taste of such tomatoes is better than those picked brown or green.

Description of fruits

The tomatoes are slightly elongated, reminiscent of neat barrels. The pulp is dense, covered with a non-hard skin. Ripe fruits have a rich red color. The weight of one fruit is 80 grams. Sometimes tomatoes of 120 grams are formed on the bushes, but this rarely happens without the intervention of the gardener.

The taste is well balanced. Tomatoes have a wonderful smell, which becomes pronounced at the stage of full ripeness. The size and density of the Red Hunter make it possible to use the crop for canning and pickling. Many people like to cut tomatoes into various salads or for vegetable cutting.

Gardeners who do not ignore the rules of agricultural technology always get an excellent harvest. It is advisable not to overdo it with planting density, although the Red Hunter is compact. The ideal option would be to place 5-6 plants per square meter.

Growing seedlings

The success of growing the Black Gourmet tomato largely depends on the quality of the seedlings. Seedlings for planting indeterminate tomatoes should be 60-65 days old. The bushes are vigorous, so you need to make sure that the seedlings do not stretch out.

Tomato seedlings are fertilized every 10-14 days. Tomatoes are responsive to fertilizers that contain humic acids. During the initial growth period, fertilizers containing nitrogen are needed.

In summer, in a greenhouse, it is difficult to maintain the optimal temperature. It is often very hot there and the temperature is prohibitively high. If the greenhouse is film, then you can remove part of the film, opening the opposite sides of the greenhouse for ventilation.

If the greenhouse is glass, then the glass can be covered with whitewash, which is easily washed off. This way it will be cooler in the greenhouse, and there will be enough light in any case. Tomatoes in a greenhouse need to be watered 2-3 times a week.

Gardeners recommend tying tall stems directly to the greenhouse frame.

The bushes bear fruit until October. Tomatoes store well and do not crack.

The key to a good harvest is high-quality seedlings. Growing seedlings is not difficult if you follow certain rules.

  1. Seed preparation. Tomato seeds purchased from a specialty store are ready for planting. Those that you collected yourself require pre-processing and testing for germination. You can check the seeds using a saline solution. Dissolve one teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and soak the seeds. After 10 - 15 minutes, stir and remove all floating seeds - only those remaining at the bottom are suitable for planting. Seeds are checked for germination immediately before planting. The saline solution is washed off under running water.
  2. Sowing. Seeds can be sown dry or pre-soaked for 20 - 24 hours. They are sown in boxes or two seeds are planted in peat pots. Sowing depth is 1.5 cm. Containers for speedy germination are placed in a warm place and covered with glass (or film).
  3. Temperature. For seed germination, the temperature in the room is maintained at no lower than 25. After the “hooks” appear, to stimulate the early emergence of seedlings, the temperature during the day is lowered by 5 degrees, and at night – 16, 18 degrees.
  4. Lighting. In order for the seedlings to sprout smoothly and not stretch, additional lighting will be required for 12 to 14 hours.
  5. Caring for seedlings. After two true leaves appear on the seedlings, pick. Plants are planted in separate pots or special containers. The earth is periodically loosened. Water moderately.

Seeds for seedlings begin to be sown at the end of February. You need to land in 2 weeks. After March 10th it is already too late. Seeds bought in a store do not require any preparation, as they have a special layer. He provides them with everything they need.

Seed preparation

But if you have your own seeds, they need to be processed. Main stages:

  • The seeds are wrapped in gauze or bandage, well moistened with a solution of potassium permanganate. Leave for a couple of hours. Rinse with running water.
  • Then they are treated with a growth stimulator, preparing it according to the instructions. You can use aloe juice diluted in half with water for this. The procedure lasts 12 hours. Then the seeds are washed again with settled water.
  • Warm up on a warm radiator for 2 days. The gauze must be kept damp at all times.
  • The last stage is hardening on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator at 3 degrees Celsius. Time -1 day.

Seedling care

The seeds are sown in a fertile soil mixture to a depth of 5 cm. Covered with film, put in a bright place, and wait for the first shoots. They appear on the 3rd day

It is important to maintain soil moisture and light. The film is removed when the seedlings grow up

The appearance of 3 leaves is the time to pick and replant.

Features of cultivation

We recommend sowing the seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 55-60 days before the intended planting in the ground.

I watered it for a week so that it would take root faster, then I fed it once with nitroamophoska. And she went back to the city. So I rolled back and forth. And at the beginning of summer, when I arrived at the dacha, I discovered a lot of fruits ripening together. I was even surprised - I watered it rarely, I didn’t spray that many tomatoes.

And how delicious they are! I recommend it to all lazy summer residents))).

This tomato has already shown itself well in our conditions. It’s good that the variety is early and ripens quickly. Therefore, we get the entire harvest in full. The tomatoes are medium to large in size, firm, but when you bite into them the flesh is juicy. And by the way, quite tasty. In general, now one of our favorites.
