Reviews from gardeners
- Ilya Mikhailovich, 63 years old:
I really liked the Krasotka variety. I have been growing tomatoes all my life, and I often like to buy different seeds for sowing. The tomatoes are very bright and juicy. Any ketchup or tomato juice turns out to be a pleasant bright red color. Caring for bushes is almost no different from caring for other varieties. True, I didn’t do much fertilizing the soil this year, so I think the fruits turned out a little small. Next year I will try to correct the situation and see what the result will be. - Maria, 35 years old:
My husband and I bought a dacha not so long ago, and we always dreamed of growing different varieties of tomatoes here. This year we planted the Krasotka variety and were not disappointed. Bright and sweet tomatoes are great for fresh consumption, as well as for processing. All blanks have an attractive and rich color. All care recommendations were followed, so the tomatoes were large.

The best varieties of tomatoes for 2022: photos and descriptions
When choosing tomatoes for their plot, gardeners, first of all, rely on varietal or hybrid characteristics. Productivity is the most important criterion on which the quantity and quality of the harvest depends. Sometimes it can be difficult to choose the right option from the rich variety of tomatoes for open ground and greenhouses. Then varieties are selected depending on the growing region, ripening period, degree of disease resistance and other factors.
Varieties for open ground
A huge number of species with excellent yields are intended for growing vegetables in the open air. Low-growing bushes with large fruits are one of the advantages of tomatoes for the soil. Such heat-loving plants are easier to care for and do not require complex agricultural practices.
According to ripening period
Tomatoes, like other vegetable crops, are characterized by different ripening periods, from early to late.
Ripening period | Ripening of fruits after the appearance of the first shoots | general characteristics | The most productive tomatoes (2020) |
Ultra-early ripening | On day 80-85 | The fruits are small, juicy, and low in sugar. The height of the bush is no more than 50 cm. Not suitable for preservation. | Little Red Riding Hood, Pride of Russia, Benito, Superstar, Valentina, Marisha, Maksimka |
Early ripening | For 90-95 days | Small, delicate fruits, average yield. Suitable for canning and salads. Bushes grow up to 70 cm | Agatha, Riddle, Augustine, Lyana, Sanka, Buyan, Lakomka, Amur standard, Grandmother's kiss |
Mid-early | On days 100-103 | The fruits are juicy, small, aromatic. The purpose is universal. Bush shape - compact | Openwork, Babushkino, Pulka, Red Giant, Russian Soul, Cardinal, Flamingo |
Mid-season | On day 100-115 | High taste, excellent yield. There are both low-growing and tall varieties | Scarlet Candles, Hybrid Basket, Stresa, Intuition, Black Baron, Pudovik, Pink Honey |
Late ripening | On day 120-130 | Excellent fruit taste, high yield, universal purpose. Good keeping quality and transportability of fruits | Giraffe, Cosmonaut Volkov, Titan, Rio Grande, Russian size, King of Kings, Rocket, Premier |
The ripening time, color and shape of tomatoes depends on the variety.
Usually early-ripening vegetables with not large fruits and not a large harvest, but with a quick, friendly yield of ripe tomatoes. Mid-season ones also have medium sizes. Late ones are usually difficult to care for, but it is among them that you can find champions in weight, but there are not many such beauties on the bush.
By growing region
Every year, breeders create new species with high quality indicators. In stores you can buy specialized varieties of tomatoes designed for growing in certain climatic conditions. Classification by regions of Russia:
An unpredictable, cold or, conversely, excessively warm climate is not a reason to refuse to grow tomatoes in open ground. Thanks to selection, varieties have been developed that grow and develop well in any terrain.
According to disease resistance
To obtain a rich harvest, you need to choose tomato varieties not only with the appropriate characteristics. It is necessary that this criterion be supplemented by such an indicator as disease resistance.
Late blight, root rot, tobacco mosaic, cladosporiosis are diseases that most often affect plantings of heat-loving crops.
A catalog of tomatoes that can withstand the onslaught of various diseases:
- Blitz;
- Koenigsberg;
- Geisha;
- Betta,

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.

This is a tomato for amateur gardeners and collectors of unusual plants.

Features of cultivation
Tomatoes of the Lorraine Beauty variety are no different in cultivation technology from most classic varieties:
- sowing seeds - obtaining seedlings.
- picking.
- transplanting.
- cultivation - watering, fertilizing, garter formation.
- harvesting.
Sowing seeds for seedlings for open ground, taking into account the climate zone, is carried out no earlier than two months before the onset of stable warm weather. After 3-4 weeks, in the phase of 2-3 true leaves, they peak. They are planted approximately 30 days after picking. If warm weather has not yet established itself, the seedlings should be “tempered” - treated with the drug “Tur” or another growth regulator to avoid overgrowth.
The planting pattern is 60 x 50. The interval along the rows is 60 cm, between plants 45-50. Due to its resistance to cracking, the beauty does not require strict adherence to the watering regime, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out too much.
The formation of the bush is carried out by removing the stepsons and gartering. It is produced in one trunk, however, according to reviews from gardeners, there is successful experience in growing tomatoes in two trunks.
Selection of fertilizers according to the classic P-NK scheme. During the development period, the complex contains a large percentage of nitrogen, during flowering and ovary - phosphorus, and when fruits ripen, potassium is needed. To prevent blossom end rot, periodically give Ca, that is, calcium nitrate. Fruiting continues as long as weather conditions permit. With the onset of cold weather, the still green fruits will grow well at room temperature.

There are very few varieties intended specifically for decoration, but there are tomatoes with a similar, strongly ribbed fruit shape. Thus, the new domestic variety Garmoshka is considered a salad variety and is characterized by excellent taste and high yield. The fruits are pink, pear-shaped, strongly ribbed, very large. The Mushroom Basket tomato has good taste; the yield of strongly ribbed, flat-round pink fruits is at the same level as that of the Lorraine beauty.
