Features of cultivation

The manufacturer recommends tomatoes for seedling cultivation.
Planting in the ground is possible only in the southern regions of the country if there is a favorable weather forecast. You can sow seeds as early as mid-March. They must first be treated with an antiseptic and saturated with nutrients. The seeds are buried in a container to a depth of 15-20 mm, covered with loose soil on top, and then placed in a warm place. The soil should be constantly moist, but not soggy.

After sprouts appear, containers with seedlings are moved to a place with good lighting and a stable temperature of 22°C. A week before moving the seedlings into the beds, they need to be hardened off. First, the plants are taken outside during the day, then this is done in the evening. The first fruits appear 75-80 days after planting the seeds.

Organic, mineral and complex fertilizers should be used as bait. They must be alternated so that there is no addictive effect. If you follow the rules of plant care, the first harvest will be in late spring in the southern regions and early summer in mid-latitudes.

How to grow Vasilina tomatoes?

Before planting, seedlings must be subjected to a hardening procedure: change the room temperature, maintain average watering, and protect from strong winds and direct sunlight. Seedlings should be planted in the ground to a depth of 2 cm, maintaining a distance between them. The soil is pre-moistened to an average level. When planting in greenhouses, you need to provide the plant with 16 hours of light per day.

After planting, the plant is looked after, watered promptly with warm water, and the soil is loosened, ensuring oxygen access to the roots. Tomatoes need to be regularly removed from weeds and fed 5-6 times per growing season. Fertilizing is carried out with complex mineral fertilizers, according to the instructions from the manufacturer.

When the height reaches 45-50 cm, the plant is tied up in the usual way. This is necessary in order to increase productivity, eliminate the risk of trunk breakage, and besides, a tied plant is easier to care for.

Bushes need to be pruned once every 10 days. This is necessary in order to control the growth of the bush and the number of its fruits. The more stepsons that are not removed, the fewer tomatoes on the bush. There is no need to remove the shoot to the base of the stem; you can leave 2 cm.

With proper care of the plant, you can get up to 15 kg of tomatoes from one square meter.

V. DADYKIN, scientist agronomist. Photo by the author.

To be honest, I personally didn’t believe it until I visited his (5.5 acres) plot in the Stroitel gardening partnership, on the outskirts of the town of Zhukovsky near Moscow, Ramensky district, Moscow region. I visited and photographed everything. I will reproduce our conversation that took place in the garden almost verbatim.

– Yuri Nikolaevich, let’s not only talk about your technology for growing heat-loving sissies, but also immediately clarify for readers that you grow tomatoes not in the open air, but under glass.

– Yes, although I have an old one, it is still a glass greenhouse, almost 47 m2. This is my “lifesaver”, and there is also a small tomato bed in the open ground (the latter, rather, for comparison, experiments and in case of hot summer). I don’t hide it: in the middle zone, the main condition for success when growing such a heat-loving crop as tomatoes is the construction of a greenhouse.

For those who are too expensive for glass, the simplest one is suitable, with a frame made of wooden slats and plastic arches, which are covered with film or non-woven material in early spring. The difference between the temperatures inside such a greenhouse and outside is minimal: two to three degrees.

Therefore, in the spring and autumn, gardeners are forced to heat their greenhouses by any means available to them: some with a “potbelly stove” on diesel fuel, and some with an electric stove, heating element, or simply a constantly switched on electric light bulb.

Everyone has the same task: as early as possible, without wasting a single precious spring day, plant tomato seedlings in a greenhouse so that they have time to produce their potential harvest. After all, any, even the most productive varieties of heat-loving crops, as a rule, develop slowly in cool spring and June weather.

By the beginning of August, when many hobbyists are just beginning to bear fruit, they are destroyed by cold and late blight. Tomatoes, in order to have time to fully “give up” the harvest, need not one warm month (with nights at least 15-18 degrees), but four or five. That’s why I plant seedlings in my greenhouse in mid-April.

It is also important that I try to rationally use every meter of space in the greenhouse: in the free rows, between the tomato bushes, I place pots and other containers in which tomatoes also grow. At the end of May, or even at the beginning of June, when the nights become warm, I plant them in open ground.

– What else, besides the greenhouse and early planting dates, determines success?

– Please note: at high (more than 35 o C) and low (12-14 o C) temperatures in combination with high air humidity, tomato flowers are not pollinated and the ovary falls off. Therefore, during the day in July, it is necessary to either regularly ventilate closed greenhouses and greenhouses, or open them completely. I have provided through ventilation for this purpose (doors on two opposite sides and a window on top). In the spring, as well as in July, August, and even more so in September-October, the greenhouse doors should be tightly closed and all cracks sealed.

– Do fertilizers affect the yield and which ones do you use?

– Without effective fertilizers there will be no good harvest. What should it be formed from?

Each fruit plant “takes out” from the soil a total of one and a half dozen macro- and microelements every season. Therefore, they must be returned there in the fall or spring. But, however, with all the “gluttony,” the root system of tomatoes, especially young plants, is unable to effectively absorb nutrition from the soil, especially on cool nights.

For the second season I have been using humus from horse manure with vermicompost “Gardener’s Dream”. It contains a lot of phosphorus and potassium in organic form available to plants, which, as I said, is necessary for tomatoes. I use this organic matter at the stage of growing seedlings, adding 2 kg of it to each bucket of soil mixture.

In addition, when planting plants in a greenhouse, I again add 100-200 g of vermicompost to each hole. The result is similar: the development of tomatoes is noticeably accelerated. The harvest ripens two to three weeks earlier than usual.

– As far as I understand, you, as an amateur, have been growing tomatoes in one place for many years, although this is contrary to generally accepted recommendations: it leads to the accumulation of pathogens in the soil. Scientists recommend returning tomatoes to their original area only after four to five years and planting them only after predecessors such as cucumbers, cabbage, onions, legumes and green crops.

– Theoretically this is true, but in practice it is impossible to implement such recommendations in a densely planted small area.

I see for myself: when cultivating tomatoes in one place for many years in a row, every year more and more different infections accumulate in the soil, and above all late blight pathogens. What should I do? Every two years we have to do labor-intensive work: completely replace the top ten-centimeter layer of soil in the greenhouse. And this means forced shoveling of tons of earth.

I recently learned about an alternative soil replacement - the FAS sulfur bomb, which can reliably disinfect the top layer of soil from almost any pathogen. I'll definitely try it out in the very near future.

– Now let’s talk about your famous varieties with supposedly incredible yields.

– Over the 25 years of my hobby, I have scrupulously tested and tested more than 500 different varieties and hybrids. Most of them were “rejected” due to low yield. The so-called “folk selection” varieties, which, alas, are almost unheard of now, turned out to be many times tastier and more productive.

Of course, not all of these varieties are truly good. In the first ten years of my research, I exchanged seeds and nutritional recipes with hundreds of distrustful and restless “tomato fans” like myself. In the end, I settled on tomatoes of undeniable merit (both in terms of yield and taste), which showed themselves not only in ideal conditions.

This is, first of all, the Yubileiny Ushakova variety I bred, and also Mechta, Bananchik, Mashenka. All of them are tall, on average up to one and a half meters, and early in maturity. And during a season without climate disasters, they produce an average of 8-10 kg of tomatoes per bush. The fruits are generally not large: Yubileiny Ushakova - 25 g each (about the size of a chicken yolk), Bananchik - 40-50, Mechta - up to 100 g.

Well, now about the most important thing: not only the potential yield of varieties is important, but also that it is realized even in not the most favorable conditions and when dangerous diseases are spreading. Here in the middle zone, the harvest of most varieties is destroyed in addition to the cold by late blight. What can resist it?

Using the example of my large collection of varieties, I undertake to assert: different varieties suffer to varying degrees from this destructive fungal disease. Thus, tomatoes of the Yubileiny Ushakov variety have not turned black for three years now. Of course, it is too early to draw final conclusions and it would be best to draw them together with scientists and variety testing specialists. I invite you to cooperation.

Description of the Danna tomato variety, its characteristics and cultivation

The Danna tomato will become the dream of many gardeners involved in vegetable growing in Northern and central Russia. The variety also shows high yields in regions where summers are quite cool. On the root, plants have time to grow early and ripen juicy, appetizing fruits, even with sudden temperature changes. In addition, when growing, tomatoes do not require much care, which is also an undoubted advantage.

Description of the variety

The Danna tomato is an early ripening vegetable crop of Russian selection. The variety was obtained in 1983 for cultivation in the Northern regions of Russia, Moldova and Ukraine.

Thanks to successful selection, tomato yields are always stable. Tomato harvesting occurs on days 110–117, after planting the seeds. The first brush of the inflorescence is formed above the 8th leaf of the plant, each subsequent one with an interval of 2 leaves.

  • Dunn's tomato bush is not a standard type;
  • plant height is 50–55 cm;
  • medium leaf variety;
  • the leaf is medium-sized, dark green;
  • the inflorescence is complex, bearing more than 5 fruits.

The tomato is intended for growing in open ground. In order for the yield to come earlier, vegetables can also be grown in greenhouses and greenhouse structures.

Fruit characteristics

Dunn's universal tomato. Its fruits are suitable for preparing salads, hot dishes and various kinds of preparations for the winter. Thanks to their strong skin and small weight, tomatoes are also well used in whole-fruit canning.

Product characteristics of tomato:

  • weight – 95–105 g;
  • shape – flat-round;
  • color – bright red;
  • pulp – fleshy;
  • taste qualities are excellent.

A distinctive feature of Dunn tomatoes is that they contain about 5.3% dry matter.

Advantages of the variety

Like all vegetable crops, the Danna variety is endowed with individual advantages. The strengths of the volume include:

  • high yield, which ranges from 3 to 5 kg per bush;
  • good transportation over long distances;
  • excellent taste;
  • cold resistance;
  • resistance to late blight;
  • ease of care.

According to experts, the variety has no significant shortcomings.

Important: Despite the fact that the Danna variety is resistant to late blight, for prevention it is still recommended to spray it with “Fitosporin” 3 times during the season

Tips for growing the variety

Those who grew Dunn's culture claim that to get a high yield, you should adhere to the following rules:

  1. To obtain full-fledged seedlings, it is necessary to sow the seeds quite densely.
  2. When 2 true leaves are formed on the seedlings, strong, well-developed plants are selected and picked.
  3. Seedlings are planted in open ground only after frost has passed.
  4. The area for tomatoes should be well lit and protected from northern winds.
  5. Planting pattern 40x60 cm.
  6. During growth, plants are fed with root and foliar complex fertilizers.

Reviews from gardeners indicate that tomatoes do not require pinching or support. For the development of the plant, timely watering, weeding and loosening of the tree trunk are carried out.

“Danna has been planting tomatoes for several years in a row. I liked this variety for its low bushes, on which the fruits were compactly collected. The yield was also encouraging. From each bush I collected about 3 kg of tomatoes. The tomatoes are tasty, beautiful in appearance, and very good for preparing canned whole fruits and salads.” N. G. Apt

“I planted different varieties of tomatoes in my dacha. One of the best tomatoes I can highlight is Danna. The plant is absolutely undemanding in care and resistant to sudden cold snaps. In addition, tomato annually shows good yield indicators” Dmitry Ascheulov

Growing Tips

The plant is recommended for seedling planting. You can get healthy seedlings by following a number of rules:

  • Plant to a depth of 1.5–2 centimeters.
  • Preliminary moistening of the soil.
  • Maintaining room temperature from 21 degrees.
  • Timely moistening of the soil.
  • Organization of 16-hour daylight hours.
  • 10 days before planting, it is necessary to harden the sprouts.

The plant is unpretentious; the originator advises planting no more than four bushes on one square meter of land according to a 50x40 centimeter pattern.

For better yield, you should follow simple rules of agricultural technology: watering with warm water, loosening the soil, removing weeds, fertilizing up to 6 times per season, tying to a trellis and installing supports. When tying, synthetic materials should be used.

Description of the variety

This variety of tomatoes was bred in order to grow them under film. The variety is characterized by the following description:

  • the plant is undersized, grows no more than 0.5 m in height;
  • the first ripe fruits can be harvested within three months after the first shoots;

Description of fruits

Many cold-resistant varieties are distinguished by the fact that they are not particularly productive. This is due to their size, since most tomatoes for the northern regions are short. They do not produce a large number of fruits. But Vasilina differs from these options in its high fruitfulness.

The fruits of the Vasilina variety are very sweet and soft, as evidenced by reviews from gardeners. Tomatoes become an excellent component of summer vegetable salads and snacks. But they can also be used for canning.

The skin of these tomatoes is quite soft, so they can crack when canned as a whole. Moreover, this makes them unsuitable for long-term storage. When transporting the Vasilina variety, special care should be taken, as the tomatoes may be damaged.

Tomatoes are great for salads, sauces and juices. They have almost completely no sourness. The average weight of the fruit is 200 g. The tomatoes are round and not watery, with a lot of sugars.

Growing conditions

How to grow sweet tomatoes? To make tomatoes sweet and meaty, it’s not enough to choose the right variety. The soil must have enough nutrients, and there are also other secrets:

  • The most delicious are varietal tomatoes, not hybrid ones;
  • to add sweetness, fertilizers are added, such as potassium or wood ash, which promote better fruit filling and improve taste;
  • During fruiting, you should not apply nitrogen fertilizers, as they promote the growth of greenery;
  • the amount of sunlight affects the sugar content; the more sunlight there is, the sweeter the tomatoes will be;
  • The amount of watering should be limited during fruiting.

Anyone who grows vegetables in their garden can share a list of the sweetest varieties of tomatoes, a description of which is presented below.

What's ripening?

Sometimes the description of a large-fruited tomato variety is captivating. The manufacturer promises a combination of yield and taste. The reality is disappointing.

But the Keg is another matter. Gardeners are attracted to:

  • fruit size (300–500 g);
  • evenness (the first and subsequent berries are the same);
  • color (orange-golden);
  • skin (thin, cannot be felt when eating);
  • the hand feels smooth to the touch;
  • weak ribbing at the stalk;
  • 3–4 seed chambers;
  • the grains are small (do not interfere with eating);
  • the taste is sweetish;
  • the pulp is juicy;
  • pronounced graininess.

Russian gardens have created a hybrid for delicious salads. But gardeners have made adjustments: they like the possibility of universal use of berries. The juices and pastes have a beautiful apricot hue. The sugar content allows you to avoid adding seasoning when canning.

Tomato Sinichka - description and characteristics of the variety

Not everyone has country plots, and not everyone can boast of having a dacha. And those who have it are not always able to fully cultivate the area - age and illness deprive them of this opportunity. But experienced gardeners don’t want to sit at home with nothing to do, and they find something to do - grow flowers on windowsills and windows that delight the soul and the eye. But you can also grow edible plants - for example, small tomatoes, which can be cultivated in an ordinary apartment - on windows, balconies and loggias. One such plant is tomatoes. We will talk about a variety called Sinichka.

Characteristics of the variety

Tomatoes called Sinichka are suitable for growing both indoors and in suburban areas. In the first case, you can grow tomatoes all year round.

  1. It is an early ripening variety; the berries ripen in 85-95 days.
  2. Determinate type.

Such bushes will decorate any home, and if there are berries hanging on them, they will serve as an excellent decorative decoration for the apartment.

  1. The shape resembles a cherry.
  2. The berries are small, weighing no more than 20 grams each.
  3. The taste is sweet, honey.
  4. Ripe tomatoes have a bright yellow color.
  5. There is a dark spot around the stalk.
  6. The skin is thin, smooth, without serrations, dense.
  7. Ripe berries do not crack and smell strongly of tomatoes.

Recommendations to help raise a Titmouse

As a rule, these tomatoes are intended for growing at home. To cultivate this variety at home, you need to follow some rules:

  1. Choose the right container where the crop will be planted. Boxes with a height of 12 to 16 centimeters are best suited.
  2. In order for air to flow better to the root system, the bottom of the box should be lined with pieces of old slate or tiles; it is useful to add a little sand.
  3. In order for the plant to develop normally, it is best to buy specialized soil intended for tomatoes.
  4. The seeds are pre-treated with potassium permanganate - this will protect against fungus and help them germinate better.
  5. It is necessary to observe a certain temperature regime. - during the day from 20 degrees Celsius, at night - from 14-15 degrees.
  6. It is necessary to create an influx of fresh air by regularly ventilating the room.
  7. The variety needs a lot of light, so in the dark after sunset it is necessary to illuminate the tomatoes with fluorescent lamps or other sources.
  8. The first sprouts after planting the seeds appear in about a week; they are watered abundantly with warm water.
  9. After the formation of one or two leaves, the plant must be pruned, that is, planted in separate boxes.
  10. There is no point in forming bushes and tying them up, because the bushes are small and there is no danger of breaking under a large layer of crop.
  11. The plant requires pinching and removal of old leaves from the branches and stems.
  12. The plant should be watered twice or thrice a week. After each watering, the soil must be loosened, otherwise the earth will harden into a crust and air will not flow to the roots.

Landing at the site

It is better to plant on store-bought tomato soil. It is necessary to add fertilizers containing nitrogen. And when the first ovary appears, feed it with mineral fertilizer.

It is necessary to hill up, water and loosen the soil in accordance with generally accepted methods.

Diseases and pests

Tomatoes planted in the country can be attacked by numerous pests. To combat them, it is enough to spray the bushes with protective drugs. The Sinichka variety has high immunity, but it is still better to treat it with appropriate preparations to avoid infection with common diseases for nightshade crops.

Characteristics of the variety

Vasilina is the best option for those who live in places with cold and short summers. These tomatoes have characteristics that allow them to successfully survive even in extreme cold weather. At the same time, the ovaries are not lost at all, and the yield remains at a consistently high level.

Depending on the region in which the fruits of a given variety will be grown, you can choose the most suitable conditions. For places with cold summers, a greenhouse option is best, and for warm regions, open ground will be the optimal condition for growing tomatoes. The Vasilina variety is suitable for any occasion.

These tomatoes are considered indeterminate. They can grow to very large sizes, so the bushes must be pinched back. This will allow the formed berries to become larger.

Tall tomatoes require special care. They can break from the weight of the fruit or from the wind, so the bushes must be tied up. Moreover, do not forget that the plant requires mandatory formation. Removal of stepson branches is mandatory for the specified variety.

Video: THE BEST VARIETY OF LOW GROWING TOMATOES!

The bushes turn out to be quite leafy and lush. This means that it will not be possible to plant a large number of plants per 1 m². The best option would be a planting scheme of 4 bushes per meter of fertilized soil. Fertilizers for this variety are very important. They allow you to get a fairly large harvest. With the right agricultural technology, you can collect up to 20 kg of tasty fruits from each square.

Fruit harvesting can begin within 95 days from the date of sowing the seeds for seedlings. Considering that the variety is early ripening, it is not afraid of some diseases. Moreover, the breeders tried their best and developed a really high-quality tomato that is resistant to most of the ailments characteristic of nightshades. However, if they are grown in greenhouse conditions, preventive measures against fungal diseases should be carried out.

Characteristics of the Beauty tomato and growing a hybrid variety

Tomato Beauty f1 got its name because of its beautiful appearance. During the period of full ripening, Beauty pleases its owners with bright crimson tomatoes. The shape and size of all fruits are almost the same. Tomatoes have elastic skin that is not prone to cracking. This makes them resistant to transportation and long-term storage. Fruit weight – 150-200 g.

What is a Beauty tomato?

The characteristics and description of the variety are as follows:

  1. The tomato ripens in 100-110 days.
  2. This is a hybrid variety that is resistant to weather conditions and various diseases.
  3. High yield and good taste are the main indicators of tomatoes.
  4. This variety can be grown in any region of our country.
  5. Tomatoes are planted in open ground in warm areas, and in cold areas - under a film cover. At temperatures below +16…+17ºС the plant dies.

How to grow tomatoes?

How to grow Beauty f1 tomatoes? The seeds are ready for planting by the end of March. They are planted in soil containing peat, sand and ash or purchased with a ready-made substrate. For planting, choose a shallow container. The seeds are planted in a row, maintaining a distance of 3-5 cm. Planting depth is 1 cm. To speed up the process of hatching, the soil is sprayed with water and covered with film. The film covering is not opened until the first shoots appear.

Picking is done after the formation of 2-3 true leaves. At this stage of development, the plant needs warmth and light. Seedlings should be protected from direct sunlight. Instead of watering, it is recommended to spray the soil with a spray bottle once a week.

An important activity is hardening off the seedlings, especially if they are preparing to plant them in open ground. 2 weeks before the intended transplantation, the seedlings are accustomed to outdoor conditions. To do this, they are taken out into the air every day, initially for a few minutes, gradually increasing the time.

Tomato belongs to the determinate species. The plant is not very tall, reaches a height of 80 cm. During the growth process, the stems form and moderately shoot. The trunk stops growing after the formation of 5-6 flower clusters. Since the root system of tomatoes is small, 1 or 2 stems are left during formation. This way the fruits will receive adequate nutrition and will not waste their taste.

To prevent the bushes from getting sick and feel comfortable, you need to plant them in one row at a distance of 50-60 cm from each other. The plant will be greatly supported by tying it to supports. The lower leaves in contact with the ground are removed to facilitate watering and prevent fungal infections.

The soil must be loosened periodically. This action improves the drainage properties of the soil

This must be done extremely carefully so as not to damage the roots. You need to be attentive to the appearance of weeds and remove them in a timely manner.

Weeds feed on fertilizers, which are needed for the development of tomatoes.

Next, we will consider the features of applying fertilizers for tomatoes. When the plant begins to bear fruit, the amount of nitrogen in fertilizers must be sharply reduced or removed. This chemical element promotes the growth of green mass, which is absolutely not necessary at the time of fruit filling.

When setting fruit, the plant needs the components of boron, manganese, iodine and potassium. They affect the meatiness of tomatoes and the high sugar content. You can prepare this dressing yourself. To do this, you need to mix wood ash, boric acid and iodine.

Reviews about the Krasotka variety are positive

People who have been growing tomatoes for many years are advised to pay special attention to the quality of the soil. They believe that the survival rate of tomatoes largely depends on it

In general, gardeners are satisfied with the Krasotka variety. They are especially pleased with the good sweet taste.

Tomato Grotto - description and characteristics of the variety

The Deepening tomato variety has been successfully grown for two decades. It was first bred through selection in Russia in the early 90s of the 20th century. The current variety is good because it can be grown even in apartment conditions and is not demanding on the sowing area. The autochoir itself is short, reaching 30-40 cm in height, almost like a houseplant on a balcony, loggia, or window sill. But this does not mean that it cannot be grown in greenhouse conditions. This tomato does not take up much space or width, since the crown is not spreading and dense.

To remove fungi and other pathogenic agents, the soil is disinfected with a one percent solution of potassium permanganate, as well as with boiling water. The seeds should not be planted very deep, at most one centimeter from the surface of the soil. Then they are covered with peat and watered. After a couple of leaves appear, the shoots are divided into separate plastic cups or pots.
  2. Seedlings aged one and a half months are planted in the spring, in March. Before planting in open ground, you need to harden the sprouts, periodically ventilating the insert with them. It is this season that natural sunlight contributes to the rapid growth process and the appearance of fruits in April-May.

  5. Feeding. An indispensable stage of care. Watering should be done sparingly to avoid rotting of the roots.

At the initial signs of fungal diseases, treating the plant with fungicides, for example, Ridomil, will help.

During the flowering period, it is recommended to treat the leaves with boron solution - 1 g of boron per 1 liter of water. Another option is treatment with a mixture prepared from 10 liters of water and 2 tablespoons of copper sulfate. It is recommended to spray the affected stems with a 1% solution of calcium chloride.

In the fight against insect pests, it is recommended to periodically spray the plant with a soap solution, which is used to irrigate even mature fruits.

Yeasts suppress the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms and also promote plant growth and development. In 2.7 liters of settled water, dilute 100 g of yeast, 0.5 tbsp. sugar, cover with gauze and leave in a warm place, shaking from time to time. When the fermentation process is over, 1 glass of infusion is diluted in 10 liters of water and watered at the rate of 1 liter per bush.

A cloth soaked in vinegar can be an effective remedy against root pests. In order to protect the root system, apply fabric strips soaked in table vinegar. However, the effect of such treatment is short-lived, since the fabric requires constant renewal. Another good remedy against earthen insects is planting legumes on tomato beds.

  • Be sure to observe crop rotation;
  • Conduct regular inspections of plantings for timely detection of diseases and pests.
