A variety originally from China - Dei Huanchi tomato: description of tomatoes and tips for growing them

I order seeds in the fall, before the new year and before the start of the new sowing season. This is very convenient for me: I have time to choose an interesting variety, read and see reviews about it. In this video I will tell you what varieties and hybrids of tomatoes I will sow for seedlings in March. I share my experience in growing varieties of different ripening periods, for open ground and greenhouses, small and medium-fruited varieties, determinate and tall.

We have collected the best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses and open ground for you in the special project Big Harvest ___________________________________________________________________________________

When to sow tomatoes for seedlings

I choose the sowing time depending on the ripening time of the tomatoes. I don’t experiment much with varieties - first of all, I sow my favorite proven varieties for seedlings. For early, medium and late varieties I set 2 sowing dates.

I divided March into 2 stages. I will carry out sowing in early and mid-March. Before sowing, I soak all tomato seeds, regardless of the variety and time of sowing, in aloe juice diluted with water 1:1. A natural growth stimulator improves seed germination.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Far North variety

The main advantage is unpretentiousness. Even if unfavorable weather conditions prevail in the region and there is no heat, a good harvest is harvested at the end of summer. Along with this distinctive feature, there are others:

• rapid ripening;
• non-susceptibility to late blight, crown and root rot;

  Far North tomatoes are not susceptible to late blight

• no need to tie up the bush;
• no need to remove stepsons;
• impeccable presentation during transportation;
• versatility in use.

The characteristics listed above distinguish this variety from others that are good at only one thing. For example, Beta or Cardinal varieties are not susceptible to late blight; The rich red fruits with thin skin of the Bullfinch variety weigh twice as much - 130–150 g - and they are not sour, but sweet.

Among summer residents, disputes continue over the yield and taste of tomatoes of the Far North variety. Therefore, they do not appear in the list of advantages and are classified as disadvantages.

Tomato hybrids for greenhouses

We often see the designation F1 on bags of vegetable and flower seeds. Some do not pay any attention to this letter, others are suspicious. Experienced summer residents know what F1 hybrids are and deliberately purchase such seeds for growing on their site.

F1 stands for first generation tomato hybrid (from Italian children). A hybrid is obtained by artificial pollination of different varieties of the same crop. Breeders work as pollinators, not insects, bees and bumblebees. Plants are crossed to obtain a variety with better characteristics, more tasty, stable, and productive. ______________________________________________________________________________
