Brief instructions for care and cultivation

The photo clearly shows the main advantages of the tomato bush and its fruits. Let's find out how to get the same result at your dacha. If there is no greenhouse there, this is not a problem, the variety can be grown on an ordinary garden bed. Where frosts are possible in June, place arcs over tomato bushes with covering material stretched over them.

Sowing seeds right

It is important to choose the right time for planting seeds. For open ground - this is the second half of March, for the greenhouse - from the end of April to mid-March. Swipe:

• mandatory seed rejection procedure (visual inspection);
• detection of hollow seeds by soaking in lightly s alted water (remove floating ones);
• prevent tomato diseases - keep 15 minutes in a solution of potassium permanganate.

The first stage of growing tomato seedlings from seeds, lasts from sowing to picking. At this time, we use low containers (preferably made of plastic). We take high-quality, purchased soil for seed germination or prepare our own, mixing garden soil, compost, peat in a ratio of 2: 1: 1.

Sowing seeds is easy:

• moisten the ground well an hour or two before sowing seeds;
• spread the seeds thinly over the surface;
• fill seeds with humus or potting mix;
• cover the container with seeds with a film, put away from the cold window.

The second stage lasts from picking seedlings to planting in the ground. During this period, for seedlings, prepare separate cups or rectangular plastic containers for seedlings, with a side height of at least 25 cm. Dive (transplant) tomato seedlings that are in the phase of 1-2 leaves into these containers.

Caring for seedlings, transplanting into the ground

About a month after the successful picking, tomato seedlings are in a warm room. Tomato care activities during this period:

• watering the tomato under the root when the top layer of the earth dries;
• 1-2 root dressings with any liquid fertilizer for tomatoes, you can simply infuse banana peels and pour small tomatoes with this “compote”;
• week-long tomato hardening procedure with night temperatures dropping to 8 °C.

We plant adult tomato seedlings (50-60 days from germination) in a permanent place. We place no more than 3 tomato bushes in a square place. This is a recommendation from the seed manufacturer and should be followed.
