Criteria for selecting varieties

There are several criteria for choosing tomato varieties for indoor soil.

Specifics of consumption

Some varieties of tomatoes are not intended for canning or long-term storage. Therefore, those who do not make pickles and do not stock up on fruits for the autumn-winter period should pay attention to the description of the seeds when purchasing.

Productivity or exotic

There are breeders who plant unusual varieties of tomatoes every year. They do not always bring a big harvest, but they are very pleasing to the gardener’s eye.

Exotic American variety

Different types of greenhouses

There are special unpretentious varieties of tomatoes, which are mainly planted in year-round greenhouses. Such fruits easily adapt to a lack of sunlight.

Year-round greenhouse with special heating

For summer greenhouses, breeders are developing other varieties of tomatoes that could easily withstand sudden temperature changes, from hot heat to contrasting cold.

Access to water supply

Many varieties of tomatoes require moisture. If a gardener does not have stable access to water, then it is better for him to choose unpretentious varieties that will not crack from lack of moisture.

Disease resistance

In greenhouse conditions, many harmful bacteria often accumulate. Hybrid varieties resist diseases best. But not all gardeners like crossed forms of tomatoes. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly prepare the greenhouse for planting non-hybrid varieties. Establish ventilation of the enclosed space and carry out chemical treatment there stably.

Productivity and ripening speed

Tall and medium-sized varieties (1-2 meters) are considered the most fruitful.

For greenhouses, it is necessary to select mid-ripening and early-ripening tomatoes. They mature on average in three to four months.

Gigolo

A universal-purpose variety, suitable for pickling and canning. The bushes are compact, stocky, up to 60 cm in height. Tomatoes are ready for harvesting after about 100-110 days (technical ripeness stage). The fruits are elongated, cylindrical, with dense skin.

The pulp is dense, rich tomato taste. Tomatoes weigh up to 150 grams and are 10-13 cm long. At the ripening stage, Gigolo bunches look impressive - 5-7 different colored tomatoes each (green, orange, already ripe red).

for salads;
conservation;
pickling;
processing into juice, paste;
drying;
stuffing.

Gives good harvests in greenhouses and on open ground ridges.

Unique Kulchytskogo tomato

12.10.2018

there is a danger of a dark leg coming out into the light, and all the seedlings will die. The windows of my living space face northwest; among other things, they are blocked by trees. There is not enough natural lighting, and I have to use a fluorescent lamp with 2 LB-40 lamps as backlight. I place this lamp 10 centimeters higher than the seedlings, raising it as the seedlings grow. Electricity costs are low, because there is practically no other source of light to turn on for household chores.

I sow seeds at different times: I sow late types in the middle of February, early ones in March. I grow tomatoes both in open and confined ground. I tested a large number of planting and care methods. I settled on Igor Maslov’s method (“PH” No. 1-88). This is a very effective technique, although I think that not many varieties of tall tomatoes are suitable for growing using this method. In these species, like Hybrid 2, and similar ones, the fruits on the stepsons do not have time to ripen, and it is better to grow them in a different way: plant 2 seedling bushes at a distance of 30 centimes. among themselves and form bushes into 2 stems of any kind. The spacing between rows is 1 m.

I feed the tomato bushes every 2 weeks. Before fruiting, use ash infusion and superphosphate, and during the period of fruit filling, use mullein infusion, diluted 1:10, or pigeon droppings, diluted 1:20.

I would like to remind you again about one relevant and necessary method. This is mulching (covering) the beds with old leaves or straw. I have learned from my own experience that if the beds are covered with 10-15 centimeters of old leaves, the increase in yield will be quite significant. Rotting, the leaves will arrange the earth; When watering, a soil crust does not appear. In this way, there is no need for loosening and weeding.

Tomato seeds from collectors

The leaves prevent water evaporation and prevent dripping in greenhouses, which extremely spoils tomatoes. The intervals between waterings increase by 2-3 times, and this is especially important for gardeners whose plots are located far from the building, and they have the opportunity to water them only once a week. There are a large number of such gardeners.

And already about the views. There are a lot of them: they are divided according to purpose, taste, color, softness, density. Once a year, testing up to 10-15 new species, I realized that any species is good from its own point of view. Although from this large number there are also species worthy of special attention. For example, for greenhouses: Unique Kulchitsky, Cosmonaut Volkov, Hybrid 2 Tarasenko and others. For open ground: Iris, Grape, Strong, Tomilla, Dana, Tigrella, Indoor: Tsi-fomandra Peruvian, Japanese indoor, Minibel, Bush tomato.

In the land of evergreen tomatoes

Belarus is often jokingly called the land of evergreen tomatoes, and the Vitebsk region even more so. It’s good if your garden is protected from cold winds by the natural landscape or has a southern slope. Then it still makes sense to cultivate peppers and tomatoes, but what if not? However, don't despair. Try to use the simple and accessible technology that I want to offer you. For several years now I have been able to obtain excellent harvests. The first thing I advise you to pay attention to is the selection of varieties suitable for our northern conditions. My favorite varieties: Salad, Unique, Kulchitsky, Vasilisa, Gift of Georgia, Black plum, Orange pear, Yellow icicle, Marhot brush, Garten Freude and others. They have a good taste, are suitable for pickling and canning, and most importantly, are resistant to disease.

I treat the seeds and sow them at the end of March or early April. I take the soil disinfected under natural conditions - from a garlic bed. I mix it with river sand in a 1:1 ratio, and add a glass of sifted ash to a bucket of this mixture. I mix everything, sift it through a coarse sieve and scatter it into old frying pans or other necessarily small dishes. This provides a number of advantages: it is more convenient to water, transfer from one room to another, and most importantly, the roots of plants develop not deeper, but wider.

Elberta Peach

A tomato from the group of “fluffy” varieties, with red-yellow sweet fruits. Gardeners are attracted by its original color and unusual fruity-spicy taste.

Plants are tall, up to 180 cm, with fluffy bluish leaves. Requires mandatory supports and garters. More often they are formed into 3 stems, planting 3-4 bushes per square meter.

Tomatoes are slightly oval or round, dense, with crispy flesh. The color when fully ripe is red with golden yellow stripes. The skin has a velvety coating that gives the tomatoes a peach-like appearance. They weigh 90-120 grams. Used in salads, as desserts, and for preservation.

Unusual varieties of tomatoes used to be seen only among collectors. Today, anyone can plant original “pears” and grow green or bicolor sweet tomatoes by ordering seeds from website catalogs.

Tomato "Orange Peach"

Description of the variety . Indeterminate tall variety. Early ripening, the harvest can be harvested 70-80 days after emergence. The fruits are collected in clusters of 3-5 pieces, the weight of one fruit is 150-170 g. Tomatoes are round in shape and bright orange in color. The skin has a light fluff and is velvety to the touch. Productivity is high.

My impressions . I tried to grow tomatoes and peaches for many years, they had a very attractive appearance. The fluffy bluish foliage seemed to be able to decorate a flower garden, and the pubescent fruits looked very appetizing. Nevertheless, the yield of tomatoes and peaches disappointed me very much, until I found that same “peach” that satisfied me not only in appearance, but also in yield and taste. This turned out to be the “Orange Peach” variety.

Outwardly, this tomato is a little similar to a cherry, but still does not belong to this group, its fruits were larger than those of a cherry, and the clusters were not as plentiful. If you didn’t look too closely, the fruits of the “Orange Peach” could very easily be confused with small apricots or large cherry plums, because they had an orange color and noticeable pubescence.

These tomatoes also did not disappoint in taste, as they had strong sweetness and fruity notes. Productivity was at a good level. The only drawback of this variety is that the fruits, even fully ripened ones, were very poorly separated from the stalks, and due to the fact that they became soft, the separation site cracked during harvesting. Because of this feature, the collected tomatoes had to be disposed of immediately after collection, because they immediately began to deteriorate. Nevertheless, the original appearance and excellent taste deserve the highest marks.
