Reviews from gardeners about the variety
What vegetable growers say about tomatoes Visibly and invisibly:
- “I purchased this variety of tomato after a recommendation from a neighbor at my summer cottage, but this was not quite enough for me. I did my own research, read articles and looked at reviews. At the beginning of April, I sowed the seeds in special boxes for seedlings, then planted them in the ground and covered them with film. When the constant above-zero temperature at night was established, I planted them on the site. As the bushes grew, I watered them with warm, settled water and added humus a couple of times. And now the first fruits have ripened. Of course, they are not gigantic, but still quite large and juicy, perfect for making Cobra, both in taste and color. I am generally satisfied with this variety of tomato, it did not bring me any special worries and pleased me with an excellent harvest.” Anastasia Nikolaevna, Perm, 02/26/1017;
- “I first planted this tomato variety in the spring of 2013 and have been planting it every year since then. What can I say about him? First of all, I was pleased with the good harvest, although I did not give it the most “elite” place on my plot, but even in such conditions the fruits turned out to be rather large, and some specimens were even large. I mainly used it for making salads, since I like to can small tomatoes in their own juice, well, it’s not for everyone. This year I want to plant it in special tubs, since the bushes are small and do not need tying. I also noticed that this variety retains moisture well and does not require frequent watering.” Mikhail Petrovich, November 25, 2016.

Best original variety – White Angel
Tired of regular green cucumbers? Do you want something exotic, so that your guests will gasp in admiration as they look at the plate? We invite you to pay attention to white cucumbers, which differ from ordinary ones not only in their light, waxy skin, but also in their more delicate and delicate taste. One of the best varieties on the market is called White Angel.
This is a Russian variety, which was bred specifically for our climatic conditions, for personal plots and small farms. It can be grown both in greenhouses and outside, although sometimes it may be necessary to cover delicate plants with film. By the way, unlike ordinary cucumbers, it is recommended to start picking white ones when they turn slightly... green.
The best late-ripening variety is Phoenix
Late-ripening cucumbers can be planted even in late summer. Such varieties are usually very resistant to both cold and autumn diseases, and at the same time have a dense, rich taste.
We recommend paying attention to a variety bred in Soviet times called Phoenix. The plant received such a beautiful name due to its resistance to the terrible disease of cucumbers - downy mildew. All other varieties died during an epidemic in the late 80s, and only the Phoenix, like the legendary bird, turned out to be immortal.
The variety has proven itself well when grown in open ground, but is unlikely to survive in the temperatures of the northern part of Russia. It is best suited for the Caucasian, Lower Volga and central black earth regions. And, since the variety is bee-pollinated, it most likely will not bear fruit in a greenhouse.
The main purpose of the variety
Thanks to its excellent sweet taste with a slight sourness, “Visibly-invisibly” can be eaten. They are good both fresh and as part of various dishes. These tomatoes also make delicious pastes and juices.
Only the smallest fruits are suitable for whole-fruit canning. Typically, they can be obtained at the end of the season, when the plants begin to bear fruit.
Many housewives love this variety because the skin of the fruit does not crack during heat treatment.
Planting time for seedlings
It is recommended to prepare planting material for seedlings 2 months before planting the plant in a permanent place, which is approximately at the end of February - beginning of March.
If you wish and have the opportunity, you can also add a little wood ash to this mixture, which will help normalize the acidity level of the vegetable soil mixture. In addition, wood ash will act as a mineral fertilizer, which is necessary for growing tomatoes of this variety.
Important! Don't forget to find out whether the purchased planting material has been processed by the manufacturer.
If this has not been done, then you will have to do this process. To do this, use various disinfectants, for example, a solution of potassium permanganate. The seeds need to be kept in it for 15 minutes.
In addition to disinfection, do not forget to check the purchased seeds for germination. To do this, they are dipped in a container of water. Stir the liquid well and leave it for 5-10 minutes. Seeds that float must be thrown away as they are empty.
Landing is carried out as follows:
- Before planting, treat the soil with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Then form neat grooves 1.5 cm deep. Making indentations is no longer recommended, as it will be quite difficult for the seeds to break through.
- Then the plantings must again be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate.
- Cover them with film and put them in a dark and warm place.
- After 5-6 days, the film must be removed and the plantings placed in a well-lit place. At this time, the first shoots should already sprout.
Don't forget to create suitable conditions for planting:
- the air temperature of the room in which the plants are located should vary between 20-23 degrees;
- also, the room should be well lit, there should be no drafts in it - seedlings react very poorly to all this;
- Excessive moisture is unacceptable.
This can ensure full development of the seeds. In addition, the seedlings will not stretch.
The first transplant must be carried out during the period when 2-3 leaves are formed on the plant. It is very important not to bend the main root when transplanting. Tomatoes need to be planted with a small lump of soil in pots.
During the entire period of seedling development, it must be fed 2 times with complex fertilizers. The most popular and effective of them are “Aelita” and “Gumat-Baikal”.
