What they say

Reviews that summer residents leave on the forums contain useful information. For beginner vegetable growers, this is an aid in choosing a new variety. Here's what those who planted say.

Tatiana, Volgograd region.

I decided to plant this variety on the advice of my mother. She is my avid gardener. I like to make blanks, but I don’t spend a lot of time on the garden. Therefore, my Newbie tomatoes did not see much care. I did not stepchild or tie them, they grew in natural conditions. I don't care about the harvest. Enough for canning and my favorite borscht dressing.

Natalia, Omsk region.

Loved the Newbie's description. I bought and tried the red and pink varieties. The goal was specific - to grow pickled tomatoes. The result pleased. Both varieties are productive. The bushes were strewn with medium-sized pinkish tomatoes. The following season, she released her red Novice seeds. They have denser flesh and are tastier when marinated than pink ones.

Tamara, Tatarstan

I have been planting tomatoes for 4 years. Beginner. We eat pink ones in salads, and use red ones in winter preparations. During the period when the tomatoes are poured, I reduce watering. The fruits are denser and the quality of the blanks is higher. I recommend the variety to those who are engaged in harvesting.

Seed preparation

Tips will be useful for gardeners growing seedlings for the first time. It will take a little time to prepare the seeds. First, you just need to fill them with water and let them stand for a while. Empty seeds will immediately float up, throw them away, and take those that have sunk to the bottom for further processing.

At the next stage, the seed material is disinfected. We are not opening anything new. We act the old fashioned way. Soak the seeds in pink manganese solution for 15 minutes.

If there are a couple of days before planting, you can carry out the hardening procedure. One day, seeds wrapped in a damp cloth, put in the refrigerator, the other - on the battery. Seedlings from seeds that have undergone such temperature treatment grow strong and he althy.

Sowing seedlings

It's time to sow. We take a low plastic box. The sufficient height of the walls is 7 cm. We pour the soil bought in the store into it, water it, let it settle, and only after that we start sowing.

You can spread the seeds on the surface and sprinkle on top of 1 cm with a layer of earth. You can make shallow grooves and put seeds in them. The main layer of soil for backfilling should not exceed 1.5 cm, and the interval between seeds should be at least 3 cm.

Important. Be sure to dive seedlings into a deeper container or separate cups. Recommended time is the 2-leaf phase.

Be sure to wrap the box with foil. It is convenient to use food, it transmits light well and is airtight. Thanks to the film, you can not remember about seedlings for 7-10 days. It is better to put the box where it is warm (25-28 ° C). Remove the film when young sprouts hatch.

Planting in the ground

The earth has warmed up, the frosts have passed. It's time to carry the seedlings outside, prepare the holes and deal with transshipment. The best time for these works is evening. Cloudy weather is ideal. No need to cover young plants from the rays of the sun.

Caring for the summer

Summer carry out standard care. Weekly Activities:

• watering;
• weeding;
• lash garter;
• stepchildren (if necessary).

Monthly fertilization:

1. June - infusion of mullein or herbs with the addition of urea.
2. July - NPK.
3. August - on the leaves with a solution of boric acid or milk with iodine, under the root of any phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.
