'Village F1' - mid-early determinate

The first New Year's “gift” is a mid-early determinate hybrid.
From germination to the first ripe fruit - approximately 110 days. The plant is compact, low, and the yield is excellent. An average of 45 fruits ripen on one bush! All large, leveled, average weight 300 g, picked 3 pieces - and already a kilogram! The fruits are flat-round, bright red in color.

Mid-early determinate hybrid 'Village F1'

“Beefs” became in demand with the advent of fashion for hamburgers, which require a large-diameter tomato slice with dense pulp, like a ripe persimmon. The taste of the fruit is sweet, the acid is not felt at all. We tested this hybrid in our experimental farm and recommend placing 5 plants per 1 m², and forming them into 2-3 stems.

Features of growing the variety

There are several aspects that reflect the characteristics of growing King of Kings tomatoes. Tomatoes take root best in regions such as Ukraine and Moldova. In Russia, it is best to grow tomatoes of this variety in open ground in the South, but in the northern regions, where the climate is not stable, the variety should be grown in greenhouses and greenhouses, where they will adapt well and give good growth rates.

The King of Kings tomato is distinguished by the fact that it is generally not capricious and is completely unpretentious in terms of care measures. In order for a gardener to get a good harvest, he does not need to put in a lot of effort and spend a large amount of his free time. There are several conditions that must be adhered to:

• Follow the rules of agricultural technology when planting tomatoes;
• Provide timely and abundant watering;
• Tomatoes also need fertilizing and support in the form of organic and mineral fertilizers;
• The bushes need loosening so that the moisture is distributed fairly evenly.

Growing seedlings of the King of Kings variety

Tomatoes of the King of Kings variety are recommended to be grown exclusively by seedlings, since in this way the tomatoes best adapt to the conditions and take root, while producing good fruits.

Before sowing King of Kings tomato seeds, it is best to soak them for 20-30 minutes in a growth stimulator. And also disinfect in potassium permanganate to kill possible bacteria. For seedlings, you can purchase ready-made soil, which is sold in stores.

Planting is standard, as for any variety of tomatoes. Seedlings must be constantly looked after. Water it, loosen it. Make sure that the seedlings do not harbor bacteria or any pests that can harm the plant.

After about two months, the seedlings should be placed in a place where they will grow continuously. But at the same time, you should make sure that the soil is completely warmed up. And so that there is no risk of return frosts, since the variety does not respond very well to these manifestations.

The King of Kings tomato planting scheme must be followed so that the plants feel comfortable. For example, you should not plant more than three bushes per square meter. Then they will feel much better and comfortable. The foliage and root system will have enough space for growth and development.

After this, the King of Kings tomato seedlings must be fed with fertilizer with a high phosphorus content. During flowering, the plant is tied up, and nitrogen fertilizer is applied at the root. When the fruits have set and began to actively ripen, you can add a light potassium supplement, which will help the fruits form into excellent tomatoes with ideal taste and external qualities.

Another point is that the plant needs regular pinching. To do this, the gardener should lightly pinch the top of the stems. The stepsons that are located below are also removed, and the procedure must be carried out approximately two or three times during the entire time that the plant is in active growth.

Harvesting is carried out selectively. It is necessary to remove the fruits as they ripen. You can remove fruits from the bush that are not ripe; they will do this in a room at a temperature of +18 to +25 degrees. At the same time, their taste properties will not change at all, and may even change for the better.

When to harvest?

It takes about two and a half to three months for King Rank eggplants to fully ripen. It ripens gradually, so every 3-4 days you need to selectively harvest the finished crop to help the appearance of the next eggplants. The fruit is cut from the bush with a knife, leaving a part of the stalk 3-5 cm.

At the same time, one bush can produce up to ten fruits . The weight of one fruit is about 200 g. With proper care, ten square meters yield 50-60 kg of vegetables.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

To form beautiful tomato bushes of this wonderful variety, immediately after the first flowers appear on the first formed tomato cluster and the formation of two stepsons, break off the least powerful of them with your hands. Plant the plant every 10-12 days in warm sunny weather in the morning or afternoon.

If you don’t have enough bushes, you can grow tomatoes with two stems. Then just leave the stepson above the first brush, then tie it up separately and grow it further, carefully monitoring the condition of the bush.

You should start planting the seeds of this crop for the purpose of subsequently “raising” the seedlings either at the end of March or at the beginning of the following month. After two weeks, the first feeding of the sown seeds is organized, in which classic mineral fertilizers are used. During the entire growing season, the soil is fed about 3 times (no more).

Planting in the soil

Tomatoes of this class (their other name is the Queen of the Market tomato) are usually planted in the ground no earlier than the last ten days of May, that is, after the end of the night frost period

To grow them, it is best to choose areas that are open and not occupied by other plants, since this crop does not grow well when surrounded by trees. When planting individual bushes of seedlings, there should be gaps between them measuring about 40x70 cm. Planting tomato seedlings

Planting tomato seedlings

The seedling period is present, but not required. Depending on the purpose of the future fruits, the seeds are either sown directly in unprotected soil or seedlings are grown. In the garden you will definitely need to organize a support system.

The southern regions are considered preferable for breeding the King, but many agronomists successfully grow the hybrid in greenhouses in the middle zone. However, there is less resistance to disease and a decrease in product quality.

The crop prefers complex fertilizers. The most common care actions will be pinching and fighting Alternaria. Special solutions (for example, Antrakol) will help quickly. Regular preventative tillage will help reduce risks to a minimum.

There are 2 ways to grow tomatoes:

1. Sowing for seedlings - depending on the ripening period and climate of the region, from the end of February to the end of March.
2. Without seedlings - sowing seeds in open ground (under a greenhouse cover) in the second half of April. This method is suitable only for the southern regions.

Seeds do not require pre-soaking or dressing

Seeds for cultivation are purchased only in the store: collecting them yourself is impractical, since the King of the Market is a hybrid, not a variety. Sowing is done in peat cups - then the seedlings do not need to be picked.

The soil can be purchased or made independently from turf soil, compost and humus (2:1:1 ratio) or from equal quantities of peat and garden soil with several handfuls of sand and wood ash. Standard growing instructions:

1. Sow at a shallow depth of up to 2 cm and moisten abundantly.
2. Place in a warm place (25 degrees), cover with a film with holes and illuminate for up to 13-14 hours a day.
3. After 2 weeks, complex mineral fertilizer is added (if ash was initially added, this step is skipped).
4. Gradually the temperature is reduced to room temperature (20-22 degrees).
5. 2 weeks before transplanting into the ground, they are hardened at a temperature of 16-18 degrees.

Even in cool summers, King of the Market tomatoes produce good yields

The planting pattern is linear or checkerboard. Between the bushes you need to leave 40-50 cm, between the rows a little more - 50-60 cm. In the future, feed with complex fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, provide regular, but not excessive watering. It is advisable to mulch the soil with hay, peat or sawdust. The bushes must be tied to a support. In some cases (if the hybrid is indeterminate), they need to be stepsoned.
