• check for germination - immerse in water for 15-20 minutes and select the floating seeds for further cultivation. The rest are worth getting rid of;
• disinfect - place in a pink solution of potassium permanganate for 10-15 minutes;
• carry out hardening - place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes a few days before planting, increasing the duration of stay in the cold environment every day.

Growing rules

To get a large harvest of large Babushkino tomatoes, you must follow all growing recommendations. Planting is carried out through seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse, depending on the climate.

Planting seedlings

Seeds for seedlings are sown approximately 2 months before planting in a permanent place. Usually this is the end of March or the first ten days of April. The soil is warmed up and then the seeds are planted there. The soil should be loose and fertilized. After sowing, the container is covered with film and placed in a warm place. Provide regular but moderate watering.

Attention! It is recommended to water the seedlings with warm water.

When the sprouts hatch, the film is removed and the plants are provided with good lighting. Seedlings need to be fed 2-3 times with mineral fertilizers. Picking is done when two true leaves appear. This way the root system grows better. Before planting in a permanent place, the plants must be hardened off. This procedure is carried out by gradually reducing the temperature and time the plants stay in new conditions.

Tomato transplant

Seedlings are planted in a greenhouse in mid-May, and in open ground in early June. By this time, the tomatoes should already have 6-8 true leaves. The ground is pre-fertilized and dug up.

Advice! If the seedlings have stretched out, they are planted at an angle.

Tomatoes are planted in holes at the rate of 4 bushes per 1 square meter. m. The plants are quite large, so plantings cannot be thickened. It is better to maintain a distance of 50 cm between bushes.

Tomato varieties Babushkino need to be shaped. Leave 1-2 stems, removing the remaining shoots, otherwise the fruits will be smaller. These tomatoes require pinching. Since the bush is tall, it must be tied to pegs or a trellis. The fruits are very large, so you also need to fix each brush.

Fertilizing should be applied as often as possible - the plant spends a lot of energy on the formation of tomatoes. Mineral fertilizers and organic matter are suitable. If the tomato turns yellow near the stalk, then you need to add potassium and magnesium.

The soil is periodically loosened and the bushes hilled up. Weeding is also necessary to prevent weeds from interfering with the tomatoes. Mulching is recommended to effectively retain moisture in the soil. Water Babushkino tomatoes with warm water. Moderation must be observed, otherwise, with sudden changes in moisture in the ground, the fruits will begin to crack. Preventive treatment against pests and diseases is carried out during the flowering period.

The harvest can be harvested with slightly unripe fruits; the main thing is not to leave ripe tomatoes hanging on the branches for a long time. Babushkino has been producing tomatoes for a month and a half.

Planting in greenhouses and open ground

The seedlings are placed in two rows with an interval between the bushes of 60 to 80 cm. The tomato removed from the pot is carefully placed in holes up to 30 cm deep. It is enough to remove the reinforcing mesh from peat tablets

It is important to preserve the earthen ball as much as possible during transshipment so that the bush immediately begins to grow

The easiest way to grow Babushkino tomatoes is through seedlings. Seeds are sown in early March to be planted in a permanent place in mid-May. If the seedlings are planted in the ground later, then the seeds are sown at the end of March.

In advance, the seeds are soaked in water for 2-3 days (the water must be constantly changed). Containers for growing seedlings need to be filled with soil and compacted. It is advisable to pour a weak solution of potassium permanganate to disinfect.

The easiest way to grow Babushkino tomatoes is through seedlings.
The hatched seeds are laid directly on the surface of the soil and sprinkled with a thin layer of soil. Place the seeds at a distance of 2-3 cm from each other. After sowing, you need to water the soil with water (it’s better to spray it with a spray bottle) and cover it with a plastic bag or glass. They should germinate at a temperature of 26 degrees.

When the seeds hatch, you need to remove the film and lower the temperature to 15 degrees for 1 week so that they do not stretch. After a week, you can raise the temperature again to 21 degrees. It is at this temperature that tomato seedlings should be grown until hardening.

Caring for seedlings is not labor-intensive. You need to water it on time, if desired, fertilize it with complex fertilizer when 2 leaves appear. It also doesn’t hurt to drop the sprouts into separate cups. This way they will develop better. But many gardeners do without picking.

It is necessary to water the seedlings on time and, if desired, fertilize them with complex fertilizer

If picking is carried out, then you need to choose good cups (preferably peat or paper) and fill 1/3 with soil. Then the tomatoes are taken out of the old container, carefully digging in with a knife, and then transferred to a new glass and covered with soil. The seedling can be buried down to the cotyledon leaves. After planting, the soil is watered and placed in a bright place.

Interesting!

If, when picking sprouts into separate cups, you tear off the lower part of the root by 1/3, the root system will develop better.

Care after transplant

After transplantation, the seedlings are left untouched for 10-12 days, giving them the opportunity to take root and adapt to new conditions. During this period, it is necessary to control the light intensity so that the sun does not burn the leaves.

Feeding

The first fertilizing with a manure solution is carried out as soon as rooting takes place and the first shoots appear. To prepare it, mix manure with water (1 bucket each), leave for a week, and dilute 1:10 before use. Consumption – 1 liter per hole. At the beginning of flowering, humates, simple and double superphosphate, and complex fertilizers (Universal, Kemira Lux, Senior Tomato) are used. When the ovaries appear, feed with magnesium sulfate.

Watering

It is recommended to water in the morning or evening, but evening watering is preferable - moisture remains in the ground longer. In the greenhouse, before flowering begins, water every 3-4 days, consumption - 2-3 liters per hole, when flowers appear - once every 7 days, consumption - 5 liters per plant, during the period of fruit formation - moderate watering every 4-5 days . As soon as the tomatoes begin to turn red, reduce the amount of watering.

On an open ridge, watering is carried out depending on the weather. If it is warm and there is no rain, then every two days up to 2 liters are poured under the young plant; in cool weather, water less frequently. As the plant grows, the consumption is increased to 3-5 liters, the frequency of watering is no more than twice a week. During the flowering period, the norm per hole is 5 liters, during the fruiting period - 1.5-2 liters.

If mulch is used, the mode and volume of watering should be reviewed, since moisture evaporates more slowly.

Stepping, bush formation

The Family tomato, as a representative of determinate varieties, has three stems formed in protected soil. To do this, do not remove the first two stepsons, shortening them after the formation of the first cluster of flowers. 1-2 stems are formed on an open ridge. If one stem is desired, then leave the top, removing all the stepsons; if there are two, then the first stepson is not touched, all subsequent ones are removed.

Pruning (removal of side shoots) is carried out every 10 days. The shoot is pinched or cut off, leaving a small stump - it is needed so that a new shoot does not begin to grow in this place again. At the same time, remove the lower leaves - 1-3 at a time.

Hilling, loosening, mulching

Until the tomatoes have grown much, the soil is loosened to a depth of 3 cm every two weeks. At the same time, weeds are removed. When they grow, the row spacing is loosened less frequently. To keep the soil loose and retain moisture longer, it is mulched with dry grass, chopped branches, straw, rotted compost, old sawdust (fresh sawdust increases acidity). A 6-8 cm layer of mulch allows air to pass through, retains light, interferes with grass growth, and reduces evaporation.

The first hilling is carried out 2-3 weeks after planting the seedlings. Raking soil towards the trunk creates conditions for the formation of additional roots. The next hilling is in two weeks. The soil near the stems gradually erodes, so they hill up several times a season.

Treatment against pests and diseases

Preventive spraying against possible infections is carried out every two weeks throughout the season. A good effect is achieved by using the plant-safe product Fitosporin. It is diluted in a ratio of 1:10 and sprayed on the bushes in the morning.

Prevention of damage by insect pests will be spraying with folk remedies: infusion of garlic, onion peels, tobacco, ash, solution of soda and iodine.
