The tomatoes from our list, created by breeders, are in demand in many catering establishments. They are used to prepare salads, sauces, gravy, etc.
Do you know which tomatoes are best to plant in the country? The most delicious varieties of tomatoes have an unforgettable aroma, and some are large in size. Every gardener can grow one of the varieties presented here on his plot, the main thing is desire.
Wonder of the earth
A tomato with the interesting name “ Miracle of the Earth ” was bred in Russia by an entrepreneur from Novosibirsk V.N. Dederko. (by the way, he also developed varieties of pepper and eggplant). In 2002, the tomato was readily bought on the market, and in 2006 it was included in the register of varieties.
The seeds of this tomato are produced - summer residents note the high productivity of the “Miracle of the Earth” and impeccable taste.
The height of the bush depends on the growing conditions, on average it is 170 cm long. The harvest can be obtained approximately 110 days after planting. The pinkish fruits weigh from 300 to 500 g. In order for the plant to withstand the weight of tomatoes, summer residents advise tying it up.
Varieties for greenhouse cultivation
Having a good greenhouse at your disposal, you can get fresh tomatoes to your table all year round. Greenhouse varieties are suitable for preparing salads or canning. Excellent salad tomatoes can be obtained from the following varieties:
- Geisha;
- Fairy gift;
- Andromeda;
- Eagle beak;
- Pink Angel;
- Pink Pearl;
- Fatalist;
- Scarlet caravel;
- Amana orange
The best varieties for preservation:
- Auria;
- Banana legs;
- Pink raisins;
- Rajah;
- Baba;
- Alexander the Great.
Cherries are sweet, small tomatoes that grow well both outdoors and in a greenhouse, but small-fruited vegetables tend to be more productive in protected beds. Magic Harp F1 and Yellow Caramel F1 are hybrids whose fruit weight does not exceed 25 g.
When choosing a vegetable for a greenhouse, many rightly give preference to tall and high-yielding varieties. But low-growing plants, which usually have an early ripening period, as well as mid-ripening tomatoes, are also excellent for polycarbonate shelters in all regions of Russia.
Cherry Blossam
“ Cherry Blosem ” (cherry translates as “cherry”, and blosem means “blooming”) is a tomato variety that was developed by Japanese breeders in 1999.
9 years after the tomato was included in the state. registry, Russian summer residents have become increasingly willing to grow small tomatoes (they weigh only 20 grams) with a beautiful name on their plots.
The bright hybrid does not exceed 1 meter in length, which greatly simplifies its care. According to gardeners, Cherry Blossam fruits are superior in taste not only to fresh ones, but also to canned ones. By collecting tomatoes 100 days after planting the seeds, you can prepare amazing sauces, ketchups and a variety of dishes from them.
Tomatoes without pinching
If you simply don’t have time for constant pinching, you should pay attention to less actively growing types of crops that do not need to form a bush, even tying them up.
- “Rocket” - ideal for garden planting, medium-early, low-growing, compact, fruit weight up to 60 grams, elongated shape with a clear apex
- “Fighter” is an early-ripening, determinate bush with abundant flowering without barren flowers, cylindrical fruits, weighing up to 100 g, skin color red or yellow, juicy, fleshy, sweet with sourness
- “Golden Gelfrut” is medium-early, productive, determinate, up to 80 cm high, it is yellow cream, weighing no more than 100 g, good both fresh and canned.
Sugar giant
For more than 10 years, “ Sugar Giant ” has been in demand among Russian residents. The variety is well known, but it is not registered in the state. register of the Russian Federation.
The tomato was born as a result of amateur selection - the fruit turned out to be large and sweet. The fruits have juicy pulp with average juice production. Due to their thin skin, tomatoes cannot be transported, because... the skin is easily damaged. For the same reason, tomatoes are not suitable for long-term storage.
As gardeners note, “Sugar Giant” is undemanding in care, tolerates sudden changes in temperature, and, regardless of the climate, sets fruit perfectly. The characteristic shape of a tomato is round, somewhat pointed and elongated towards the tip.
Criteria for choosing a tomato variety
When choosing seeds for your garden, you should listen to advice on the quality characteristics of a particular variety. If they offer the top best plants, then this selection is formal. Each variety behaves differently depending on the conditions of the year, natural growing area, soil, cultivation, and care. You can find “your” plant only based on personal experience. I usually select tomato seeds after two years of cultivation. As a rule, varieties that are not suitable for the site are eliminated after repeated failure. Sometimes it takes a longer period - up to 4 years - to understand: this is not yours. I just liked the tomato based on its taste or other selection criteria.
For myself, I divide tomatoes into three categories:
- height – the type of bush must be indicated on the seed package; I prefer determinate tomatoes, I don’t like to bother with tying;
- for salads or preparations in their entirety, this is an important criterion, since a large fruit will not fit in a jar, and some varieties do not tolerate heat treatment: they spread;
- color-taste - for me, taste is a more important indicator, but for processing into tomato juice I prefer pink tomatoes.
The fruiting period of the plant is important. For regions with short summers, tomatoes with an ultra-short ripening period that are resistant to low temperatures and diseases are most suitable.
When people ask me if there are frost-resistant varieties, I will answer directly: no. The tomato comes from the tropics of America. It does not tolerate frost, but some selected tomato hybrids have the ability to tolerate short-term frosts.
