• Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out 55-60 days before planting in the ground.
• Sprouts do not stretch and do not need additional lighting.
• In the phase of the first two true leaves, the seedlings must dive.
• Start hardening seedlings should be a week before planting in the ground.
• It is important to prevent seedlings from overgrowing. If you do not plant seedlings on time, the plants begin to thin out, and the flowers from the first brushes fall off. All this will lead to lower yields. Therefore, it is advisable to plant the plant no later than the formation of the first brush.
• For the permanent residence of Spiridon, it is best to choose a bright place, protected from drafts.
• The unpretentious nature of the plant allows it to develop well in dense plantings. Therefore, for 1 sq. m allowed placement of up to 6 bushes.
• Due to their compactness and short stature, the bushes do not need to be formed or tied to a support.
• In the future, it is enough to provide tomatoes with standard care: regularly water, weed and loosen, and periodically feed with complex fertilizers.

Reviews of Siberian summer gardeners about Spiridon agree on one thing: “An extremely unpretentious tomato. It grows beautifully and bears fruit even in our harsh climate.”

Elena:

I live and grow tomatoes in Krasnoyarsk. I have never seen such a stable tomato. Our already short summer, this year did not indulge in warmth at all. Spiridon endured all the cold and rain.

Faith:

I have been planting this variety for many years. Fruiting begins early and the yield is always excellent. But I never noticed cracking and lies well.

Ilya:

Last summer I grew Spiridon tomatoes. Most of all I liked that there was no need to stepchild, although I still removed the lower leaves.
