Ripening dates and types of tomatoes

The growing season or the time period from full germination to the beginning of ripening of mid-ripening fruits ranges from 111 to 125 days.

Mid-season tomato varieties can be represented by both indeterminate and determinate types:

• Indeterminate tomatoes are tall bushes that do not stop growing and can reach 2 meters or more. When a flower cluster forms on the main stem, it begins to be replaced by a stepson located closer to the top. After the buds appear, this stepson will be replaced by a shoot growing from its top - and so on. Mid-season tomatoes of the indeterminate type include the varieties Required Size, Banana Orange, Marshmallow in Chocolate, Ox Heart and other varieties.
• Determinate tomatoes are low-growing bushes with limited growth. Often stepsons form only in the lower part of the trunk. On each branch, from 2 to 6 flower clusters are formed, depending on the variety, after which the shoot stops growing. Among the many varieties of mid-season tomatoes, low-growing varieties include Alpatieva 905 a, La La Fa, Demidov, Honey-Sugar, Gina TST and others.

Let's meet pink tomatoes!

Pink Pink, De Barao, Pink Honey, Giant, Sanka and Mazarin. This magnificent six has gained extraordinary popularity in Russia because of its taste, excellent keeping quality and ease of care.

Not only is the acid content in pink tomatoes lower than in red ones, they also delight gardeners with a high content of lycopene (a carotenoid that breaks down fats) . More recently, it was believed that the champions in terms of the content of this pigment, which gives the leaves and fruits a blood-red color, are tomatoes , best of all overripe ones.

However, Pink, Honey, Giant, De Barao, Mazarin, and with them Sanka, Flamingo and Miracle of the Earth, are superior to the usual dark tomatoes in terms of the content of this antioxidant. This means that consuming pink “tomatillos” significantly reduces the risk of developing cataracts, gingivitis, coronary disease and atherosclerosis.

Let's get acquainted!

pink pink

Small, strong, like a cucumber!

There is some “oil oil” here, because “pink” in English is translated as “pink”. This rosy-cheeked youngster (150-190 g) has a dense, aromatic and meaty appearance. In addition, this is one of the earliest salad vegetables to ripen; the period for picking berries is 65-75 days after planting the “short-growing plant”.

But strong pinkies are also good in pickles and marinades , and the paste from them turns out to be a pleasant light shade.

A very important point for the gardener! All types of Pinks are resistant to cracking!

The already well-known Paradise and Unicum were recently joined by a new hybrid (F-1) - Pink Heart.

The new product can be found here:

"Pink Heart Pink Tomato F1"

Early hybrid of tall tomato

Pink honey

So handsome! You won’t get tired of admiring!

This ruddy Honey is characterized not just by sweet and delicate “apples” in consistency, but by the almost complete absence of seeds in them . From one plant, twisted from 2 stems, in a good year you can remove up to 6 kg. strong, pink-cheeked “medics.” The height is up to a meter, and the ripening time is 100-110 days after planting in a greenhouse or open ground.

Honey is a common determinant , that is, new stepsons appear gradually and must be removed, otherwise the period of “giving away” the harvest will drag on indefinitely, and in open ground conditions this is not always justified, because the return should be friendly - take it off, roll it up and forget it!

Before planting, it is worth treating the area with antifungal compounds: late blight is the main scourge for Pink honey!

A little secret. Sometimes the green spot on an apparently ripe “medicine” does not disappear for a long time. There is no harm in this! Slightly underripe “une pomme d'amour” should be removed and left to ripen along with any other red tomatoes.

De Barao

Small but remote

This baby, although it weighs only 50-70 g, is resistant to late blight, unlike delicate seedless Honey . Forming in the same way as Honey in 2 stems, it grows up to 50-60 cm, and the fruits can be harvested after 120 days. The harvest will be 4 kg. from a plant.

De Barao belongs to super-determinate varieties, such as Sanka.

Neither De Barao nor Sanka require the removal of stepsons , because they stop growing after throwing out 4 or 6 brushes.

De Barao requires rare but very abundant watering per 1 sq.m. there should be no more than 3 double-stemmed sprouts - a powerful root system will interfere with the development of a neighboring plant with equally powerful roots.

Planting in open ground no earlier than the first days of May . You can go to the greenhouse a couple of weeks earlier.

According to reviews, De Barao, grown by gardeners for several years now,

“... has never failed, always produces an excellent harvest, and quickly responds to any feeding. Cute tomatoes are very tasty and pickle well. It’s easy to roll up to 40 3-liter jars in a season!”

Sanka

Good! Oh, and our Sanka is good!

This is another super-determinant, only 50 cm high . and a berry weight of up to 80 g. Sooner it stops stretching upward and rushes to form and fill its friendly fruits, which are distinguished by their amazing “one-dimensionality”.

Sanka has something else to boast about:

• These juicy balls with thick skin can be not only pink, but also red and black (it all depends on the type of Sanka)
• Sanka prefers the open ground of the Central region, zoned for Kursk and nearby regions, feels great in the Moscow region
• All 3 types of Sanka mature in 75-80 days
• The planting pattern is compacted 35x45, but they do not tolerate weeds nearby.
• Drought resistant

In rainy weather, you can become a victim of late blight in just a few hours!

Low-growing tomato variety

Mazarin

A very “bearded” sprout!

The name Signora Tomato is directly related to the cardinal and first minister of France, an Italian by birth, Giulio Mazarin. The Italian goatee is exactly the same shape as a pink tomato. Or vice versa? Or do you mean hot southern blood? The “hot blood” of this nightshade is “hot” only in the South!

The Mazarin tomato can be grown in open ground only in the southern regions of the Caucasus and Crimea . In the middle regions and Leningrad region. The Peruvian berry feels good only in heated greenhouses.

This is an F-1 hybrid with a powerful, weakly leafy stem up to 1.5 m high, with 4-5 brushes, on which large (180-200 g) red-pink “beards” flaunt, which darken as they ripen . Productivity – 4-20 kg. from 4 bushes into one stem, which grow without interfering with each other over an area of ​​1 sq.m.

This vegetable is extremely good fresh, as well as for making juices and sauces.

Let's take into account the amazing resistance of the Mazarin tomato to blossom end rot, fusarium and cladosporiosis.

It is worth emphasizing that the main care for the red-pink “love apple” will consist of timely pinching (indeterminate variety), fertilizing with mineral complex fertilizers and abundant watering when the “beards” are forming.

Giant

Heavy, huge and beautiful!

This pink “love apple” really “suffers from gigantism”! If the stem is not trimmed in time, then “une pomme d'amour” can grow into a real tree 5-5.5 m tall!

The fruits are not of the same suit: the cluster can contain both 300 g and 2 kg berries. It will take 115-120 days to ripen, and new ones will constantly appear, so excess flowers should be eliminated in time before the ovary appears.

On 1 square it will be good for 2 single-stem plants with a mandatory garter. The fruits are consumed fresh; they are not suitable for storage or preservation.

It is not easy to get hold of Giant seed material - the number of seeds in this fruit is tiny , and it is almost impossible to preserve them at home. It's a shame, though!

No matter which of the pink “tomatoes” finds its home on your site, these pink-cheeked berries will definitely not be able to disappoint you!
