Impressions of amateur vegetable growers

Happy owners of their own greenhouses managed to appreciate the advantages of a modern hybrid. Grateful reviews about tomato Artist f1 come from different parts of the country:

1. Kappes Tatyana Yakovlevna (Moscow region): “Tomato Artist planted both in a greenhouse and in a garden without shelter. The street version was not very successful, but in the greenhouse the variety proved to be the best. There were a lot of brushes, and they were all smooth, as in the picture. The market went like hot cakes. Buyers took buckets for pickling without haggling.”
2. Pushkareva Irina (Kemerovo Region): “For the first time I bought Artist's seeds from the Aelita company several years ago, a neighbor advised. Since then I have been planting constantly. Last year, I did not have time to process the greenhouse, and many tomatoes got sick and disappeared. But not the Artist! None of the tomatoes turned black. The bushes remained green until October - and here in Siberia it is already deep autumn!
3. Nikitin Leonid Abramovich (Chelyabinsk region): “My family and I constantly joked: here is an Artist, so an Artist! Fully justifies its name: slender, beautiful, with crazy returns. Tomatoes lay for a very long time. The last fresh salad was made for the New Year.”

It is precisely because of its advantages that both experienced and novice gardeners love this tomato variety so much.

Variety features

If we talk about the Artist tomato, then we should definitely note some of the most important characteristics of the variety.

Fruits

Hybrid Artist - wrist type. This means that the ovaries are evenly distributed in the brush, on both sides. All tomatoes are almost the same size, even, beautiful. Within the same brush, they pour and ripen at the same time. It is convenient to harvest such tomatoes with whole brushes, transport and store in this form.

One inflorescence bears from 5 to 8 fruits. The weight of each of them in the first brush can reach 200 grams, the average weight is 140 - 150 grams. This is the ideal, standard size for pickling and whole-fruit canning: tomatoes are not too large, but not small (they are sometimes called "medium fruit").However, they are good in fresh salads, and in any preparations. Beneficial for market sales of fresh produce.

Tomatoes have a classic round shape, sometimes slightly ribbed. The color of unripe fruits is pale green, ripe tomatoes are bright, scarlet, without greening at the stalk. The skin is strong, the consistency of the pulp is dense, not watery. The most important characteristic is the excellent transportability and keeping quality of ripe fruits without loss of quality (at least a month after picking).

Bush

Plants can reach one and a half meters in height, have an indeterminate (continuous) type of growth. Hybrid Artist is recommended to be grown indoors. Any high greenhouses are suitable - film, glass, polycarbonate, with or without heating. Bushes are formed compact; medium-sized leaves are not located perpendicular to the trunk, but at an angle, as if stretching upwards.

The first brush is laid after the growth of 9 - 10 leaves. In the future, the ovaries are formed every 3 leaves.The plant is able to feed 7 - 8 brushes. After their formation, the top of the stem must be pinched. The one who planted the Artist f1 tomato notes that under favorable conditions, 9-10 bunches can fully grow.

Timing

When describing the variety Artist, it is characterized either as mid-ripening, or as medium-early in terms of ripening. These fluctuations are determined by the region, growing conditions, diet. The first fruits turn red in the range of 102 - 115 days from germination.

The return of the crop continues until the end of the season, depending on the capabilities of the greenhouse (height, temperature). Unripe tomatoes are successfully ripened and then stored, which allows you to significantly extend the consumption of fresh vegetables.

Immunity

Tomatoes from Ilyinichna are famous for their genetic resistance to a number of harmful infections. All hybrids successfully resist botrytis - gray rot of stems and fruits, especially dangerous in humid greenhouse air. Breeding novelties like Artista are able to repel the attack of the gall nematode, tobacco mosaic virus (which is not amenable to any treatment).

If you plant tomatoes without crop rotation in the same greenhouse from year to year, then outbreaks of fungal infections are inevitable, taking a significant share of the crop. Even chemicals do not always save. The hybrid variety Artist is good because it is not subject to Fusarium wilt and brown spotting (cladosporiosis). Fewer chemical treatments - he althier vegetables, lower cash and labor costs.

Growing conditions

To get the richest harvest, you should follow a few basic rules at each stage of growth.

Microclimate

We list only the main points that must be observed to get delicious tomatoes.

Light

A distinctive feature of the variety Artist is the ability to bear fruit well even in low light. In the shaded corner of the greenhouse, in cloudy summer, gloomy autumn, the tomato continues to develop as usual.

This is a very rare quality for a plant native to tropical America. Such shade tolerance is the result of intelligent selection.

Temperature conditions

Every tomato loves the pleasant warmth of protected ground. It is in the greenhouse that the potential of the hybrid is most fully realized. But Artist f1 is not afraid of temperature stresses. Tomatoes are tied and poured even in cold weather (which often happens in early summer or autumn). Do not become ugly, crooked. Summer heat does not slow down the formation of fruits either.

Shaping

Artist f1 belongs to generative type hybrids. Such plants are in no hurry to increase their green mass, they do not spread out in breadth, they direct food to the fruit. The task of the owner is to provide assistance and assistance.

If stepchildren appear, they must be removed as soon as possible.The variety is grown in 1 - 2 trunks, no more. Yes, the tomato is shade-tolerant, but you should not thicken the plantings: 3-4 bushes per square meter are enough. From this area you can get up to thirty kilograms of selected tomatoes.
