What tomatoes to plant for pickling and canning

Not all varieties of tomatoes are suitable for canning. It is important to take into account varietal characteristics.

Features of tomatoes that are supposed to be used for pickling:

small fruit size (weight should not exceed 120 g);
thin and dense skin;
varieties that are not prone to cracking;
sugar content of the pulp.

For pickling, it is better to choose tomatoes that have the following characteristics:

the size of the fruit can be different, the main thing is that it fits into the container;
tomatoes should contain more pulp than juice;
presence of a small number of seeds;
Suitable varieties are not prone to cracks in fruits.

If you use tomatoes with a low sugar content for pickling, the product will quickly deteriorate and become moldy. To start fermentation processes, lactic acid is needed. The component is found only in certain types of tomatoes.

Medium-sized and small-fruited salad varieties

In addition to natural pollination, mechanical pollination must also be carried out. This is done by shaking the inflorescences. This procedure is best carried out during the daytime in sunny weather. After pollination, the flowers must be sprayed and the greenhouse must be ventilated.

Tomatoes for greenhouses

It is advantageous to grow indeterminate types of tomatoes in a greenhouse, as the yield is high. But such varieties of tomatoes need to establish support; in addition, the stepsons are regularly removed and a bush is formed.

Varieties suitable for growing indoors are less demanding on lighting. Productivity is not reduced even if there is slight shading. But they are sensitive to temperature changes. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain level of temperature and humidity in the room.

The following varieties of pickling tomatoes feel great in greenhouse conditions: Kazachka, Lady's Fingers, Legend Tarasenko, Cherry, Hurricane F1, Druzhok F1.

The history of the appearance of tomato in Russia

Russians also believed that tomatoes were exotic plants that produced inedible and sometimes poisonous fruits. The “path of the tomato to the kitchen” was also complicated by the fact that in cold climates the ovaries did not have time to ripen. Therefore, it was not possible to try the juicy, red fruits for a long time.

At first, the vegetable plant remained just a decorative decoration for gardens. Only when the famous Russian scientist A.T. Bolotov began to grow tomatoes from seedlings and leave them in special storage facilities for ripening; the opportunity arose to evaluate the taste of the tomato.

Determinate and indeterminate varieties: what is the difference and which is better?

All varieties of tomatoes are usually divided into determinate and indeterminate:

The first include the so-called tomatoes of limited growth. That is, the bush grows to a certain brush and stops growing. As a rule, this species is low-growing and is suitable either for small greenhouses or for planting along the perimeter of the greenhouse, where the roof is lower.
Indeterminate varieties grow as long as the weather permits. It is advisable to plant them in the center of the greenhouse. Tomatoes belonging to this species are resistant to weather changes and are the most ideal option for growing in a greenhouse.

Hybrids are valuable in modern tomato cultivation. They do not become smaller from the top to the bottom of the cluster, as is often the case with conventional varieties.

The distance between the rows in your greenhouse should be at least 50 - 60 centimeters

So, let’s look in more detail at the best varieties of both types, the most optimal for growing in greenhouses:

Among the determinant ones, we can recommend the following: Openwork, Bourgeois, Doll Masha, Spring of the North, Doll.

Criteria for selecting tomatoes for pickling

Pickling tomato varieties are selected based on a number of criteria. At the same time, the yield and parameters of the bush itself no longer play a significant role. Greater importance is given to the parameters of the fruits themselves.

Fruit sizes. For pickling and canning, tomato bushes must produce fruits that are the same in size and shape. The more accurately they match, the easier it is to form jars during the preparation of preserves. If the pickling is whole fruit, then the tomatoes should not be large. Preference is given to fruits weighing about 100 grams. Cherries deserve special attention.
Maturation period. For pickling, the harvest must ripen together, in large batches. This makes it possible to simultaneously prepare a large volume of preserves.
Resistance to pathogenic flora. Tomatoes must be resistant to rot and mold. This will allow you to preserve the finished dish for a long time.
Features of the fruit. The best fruits for preservation are those with thin skins. It makes it easier for the marinade to penetrate into the fruit itself. The pulp is preferably fleshy with a small amount of water. The seed box is small.
Sahara. For preservation, preference is given to tomatoes with a high carbohydrate content. The more sugars, the more successful the pickling is.

In addition to these criteria, the choice of variety is influenced by the characteristics of the dish itself. If this is a vegetable mixture, then varieties of yellow or orange tomatoes will look more advantageous. Some dishes use only green or brown tomatoes. Cherries and other small tomatoes can be preserved as whole fruits.
