Features of cultivation and storage

Green manure crops - lupine, phacelia, oats - are planted in the beds where tomatoes will be planted in the fall. This will significantly increase fertility. In the spring, the soil is disinfected by treating:

1% Bordeaux mixture;
1% "Fitosporin";
lime solution;
potassium permanganate.

There are no more than 3 bushes per 1 m2. Standard care basics:

shaping, guiding in 2-3 trunks;
stepsoning 1 time in 10 days;
watering 2 times a week, water rate 8 liters per plant;
root and foliar feeding; fertilizers include solutions of mullein, superphosphate, and bioinfusions;
mulching with a layer of 8 cm.

Planting and care

The soil mixture is prepared from fertile turf, sand and peat are added for lightness and looseness, and rotted compost is added from fertilizers.

How to grow strong seedlings:

feeding 2-3 times with “Krepysh” or “Kemira-universal”;
irrigation with settled water;
diving at the stage of 3 true leaves.

Tomatoes with yellow fruits, varieties, characteristics

Yellow tomatoes are rarely grown because they can only be eaten fresh, but they are not suitable for preparations, making tomato paste or sauces. They are also not used for canning in jars; although the result is a normal, tasty pickled tomato, it is not the traditional red color.

But in the salad, the combination of red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes and green cucumbers looks very appetizing. Also, some people are allergic to red tomatoes, so they can only eat yellow ones.

There are currently quite a lot of varieties of tomatoes with yellow fruits, especially foreign selection, mainly from Holland. There are interesting varieties of bush yellow tomatoes, which, for the sake of exoticism, can be grown in boxes and in hanging pots if the garden is small. This is a variety of yellow tomatoes with small fruits and drooping tops, “Pendulina Orange” and “Ida Gold”. By the way, when hanging, tomatoes are almost not affected by viral and fungal diseases, due to the lack of contact with the soil and good ventilation.

Yellow pear-shaped tomatoes will delight exotic lovers if you plant the “Yellow Pearshaped” variety. But among the old varieties with yellow tomatoes that bear fruit in clusters and are characterized by friendly ripening, you can choose the “Golden Konigin” variety.

Yes, the varieties differ in size and taste, they are large and just like cherry tomatoes, but we will describe only the two most common, old varieties that have been in our gardens for a long time. These are yellow tomatoes “Ruslan” and “Khurma”.

Yellow tomato variety “Persimmon”, characteristics

Refers to mid-season tomato varieties. The tomato is suitable for growing in open ground and under film cover; it grows well throughout the country. The “Persimmon” tomato as a plant belongs to the determinant type, which means it is not a very tall bush and will not produce too many side shoots and stepsons. Which makes taking care of him much easier.

Although the bush can grow up to 90-100cm, so for insurance you can immediately put up pegs when planting seedlings. Usually not many yellow tomatoes are grown, so tying up their bushes won’t be too difficult. The inflorescences of the “Persimmon” tomato variety are collected 3-4 in a cluster.

A distinctive feature of the variety is the size of the tomato. The fruits are large, weighing from 100 to 300g, the color is bright yellow or orange. Tomatoes with thick skin, juicy, sweet. The yield may not be high, up to 2.5-3 kg per bush, but fruiting is long-lasting, until late autumn.

The first fruits can be harvested 105-110 days after the seeds germinate. It is better to grow seedlings. Sow in March in boxes or cups with coconut tablets. Again, I would like to remind you that there are not many tomatoes of this variety grown in the garden, so it is quite possible to grow seedlings in cups. This will allow you to obtain strong seedlings, and at the age of 60 days they will be planted in open ground. Strong seedlings planted from separate cups will not be injured by the roots and will begin to grow faster.

After all, the “Persimmon” tomato variety is not endowed with special disease resistance, so you will have to monitor ventilation and humidity. High and constant humidity stimulates the development of viral and fungal diseases of tomatoes.

Yellow tomato variety "Ruslan", description

“Ruslan” is a variety of yellow tomatoes recommended for growing in areas with a warm climate; it is endowed with special resistance to heat and therefore tolerates short-term drying out of the soil. The variety is mid-season, indeterminate type, and therefore tall. Tall varieties of tomatoes are usually recommended for growing in greenhouses and greenhouses. BUT if it is possible to provide a tall yellow tomato bush with support, then it can be successfully grown in open ground. Due to its tall growth, the yield of the “Ruslan” variety will be up to 10 kg of fruits per 1 sq. meters.

The peculiarity of growing tall tomatoes is constant care for the formation of a bush. It is necessary to constantly remove the shoots and pinch them so that the bush does not turn into a lush plant with a chaotic arrangement of shoots and a lack of fruits.

Tomato fruits are large, up to 300g, yellow in color, round in shape, excellent taste, with sweet pulp and a small amount of seeds.

The “Ruslan” variety is mid-season; the first fruits can be picked 110 days after germination. But it is better to grow this variety through seedlings. Typically, tall tomatoes are sown for seedlings before February 20th. For this, they use the best nutritious soil, consisting of 1 part peat and 1 part turfy loamy soil. Moisten the soil and bury the prepared seeds 1-2cm. Sprinkle with soil and cover with film; as soon as the seedlings appear, remove the film and keep the seedlings in a warm, bright place.

Features of the variety fruits

Tomatoes grows on its own are one of the earliest varieties. It takes about 95 days from sowing the seeds to harvesting the first ripe berries. This period may be slightly shorter or longer when growing the variety in a greenhouse or in beds. 3-5 fruit clusters with 4-6 fruits on each are formed on the bush. The weight of 1 berry can be 60-100 g. The tomatoes are aligned in size and ripening period, the entire cluster ripens almost simultaneously, and in one harvest the gardener can get 1-2 kg of ripe tomatoes per 1 m² already at the beginning of fruiting.

Characteristics of a semi-determinate plant

The word determinate means limited in growth. Those who grew the Nastenka variety know that as soon as a flower ovary appears at the end of the stem, it stops growing. Therefore, the strongest shoot, located below the central shoot, begins to develop further.

You can recognize a semi-determinate tomato by:

for seedlings - their cotyledonous knee straightens out and is no more than one or three centimeters in length;
the formation of the first flower cluster - it appears after the seventh - eighth true leaf;
laying flower clusters in adult tomatoes - two to three leaves between the clusters;
restriction of growth after the formation of ten or twelve brushes.

From the characteristics and description of the Nastenka variety, positive points can be highlighted:

Due to the frequency of flower clusters, tomatoes ripen faster.
The number of fruits on one bush is greater, hence the yield is higher.
The pink fruits ripen together, since the clusters are tied at the same time.

The disadvantages of a semi-determinate variety include:

predisposition to diseases;
mandatory work on applying mineral fertilizers;
pinching a plant due to the bush being overloaded with stems and fruits.

Plants are propagated by seedlings. To obtain tomatoes in open ground, seeds are sown in mid-March. They are sprouted in shallow boxes, and in the phase of 2 true leaves they are planted in individual containers:

Peat cups.
Plastic disposable cups.
In milk cartons with a volume of 0.5 liters or more.

Caring for determinate type tomato seedlings is simple. It consists:

In irrigation, which is carried out as the top layer of soil dries.
Fertilizing with mineral or complex fertilizers combined with watering. They are carried out at least 2 times.
Hardening off seedlings within a week. Hardening is carried out before transplanting plants into the ground.

Transplantation into the ground

Mark the holes according to the diagram indicated on the package with seeds. Make the row spacing wider; this will greatly facilitate care and improve the sun exposure of the bushes. Nastena’s tomatoes should be planted in the evening. Water each hole well with water and mulch with humus. The stakes can be placed immediately, but the plants should be tied to them after a week.

Watering and fertilizing

The first watering after transplantation should be carried out after 10 days. This time is enough for the seedlings to adapt to the soil. During this time, the root system will take root and will be able to absorb moisture and nutrients.

In summer, water depending on the weather. If there is no rain, water weekly. Do not flood the soil, but pour it deep enough. Wetting only the top layer of soil has a bad effect on the development of the tomato bush.

Fertilize at least once every 10 days. In the first half of summer, tomatoes require nitrogen. In the second half of summer, the emphasis is on phosphorus and potassium. During temporary cold spells, plants are helped by foliar feeding with urea, boric acid, and iodine.

Bush formation

Form the bush according to the scheme proposed by the manufacturer. It is optimal to grow a bush with 2 trunks, removing excess shoots on the central stem and side shoots. It is better to tie even compact bushes to a support, especially during the period when fruits are pouring.

When preparing the substrate yourself, mix:

turf;
compost;
peat;
ash.

Sow to a depth of 1 cm. Lightly sprinkle on top and compact.

When growing seedlings, pay attention to the following points:

additional lighting with fluorescent lamps;
irrigation with settled water;
feeding 2 times - 10 days before the dive and 2 weeks after the dive;
hardening for 1 week before transplantation.

My favorites of the 2021 tomato season

Hi all!
It took me a long time to decide to do this, but finally I decided to write a short review on tomatoes, which I will definitely repeat every year in my greenhouse :). The review will really be short, because... The nasty coronavirus made its own adjustments to plans for the summer and the tomatoes never received proper care. If in the first months of summer there was enough time for courtship, then somewhere from July there was enough time to get to the dacha and fill the tank for automatic watering and sometimes feed the tomatoes. I didn’t even have the strength or the mood to remove the leaves.

I would like to say right away that we will talk about varieties whose seeds were purchased from private collectors. I will also touch on hybrids, but just a little

So, the tomato, which will now always be #1 favorite

1. Kuum. Indet tomato, medium-early ripening, in my case. Its fruits can be of very different weights, but for the second year in a row mine have been 300+ grams. Some tomatoes weigh up to 1 kg, but I couldn’t do this because... For some reason my kuum grows very quickly, and because... I’m a weekender, I simply don’t have time to tear off all the stepsons, and it goes into 3-4 trunks, but I can’t raise my hand to tear off the stepsons at all

The bush is very powerful. A significant advantage of this tomato I want to note is that it has simply amazing taste and is amazingly unpretentious in care (this year it grew entangled in a pumpkin, which I accidentally planted in the greenhouse, confusing it with a cucumber)) and knits tomatoes to the very top, and the tomatoes are of the same weight from the first to the last brush.

Kuum This is how he grew up this season)) entangled and crushed by a pumpkin))) he hardly got any sun This is a photo from last year, it’s decent) without a pumpkin)))

2. Strange girl thing . Also indet, mid-season. Looks like Striped Chocolate, but not it.) Very productive, in the photo there is a bush with three trunks (from lack of care and timely garter it simply collapsed). Be sure to tie it up. The taste is of a classic salad tomato, the tomatoes are very juicy.

Here it is, a strange thing))) Thing)))

Also))) Average weight. The ones that hang green - there are larger ones 3. Cool Dad . This is dad so dad. The first time I planted it, I was also surprised by the tomato. Mid-season, indet, many tomatoes begin to sing at the same time. It led into three trunks, or rather, it galloped away into three trunks))), all strewn with tomatoes, pink fruits with dark shoulders. The taste is sweet, the tomato is meaty. Here in the photo he also collapsed under the weight of the fruit. Oh, what a shame that it was not possible to give the planned care to the tomatoes ((

They are small for me)) All the tomatoes in the photo are Papa) about 7 of them have already been eaten)

4. Apricot. This is an amazing fluffy varietal tomato, fluffy both the bush and the tomatoes themselves. In the photo there are green tomatoes, on the scales the green one on the bottom) They ate the large one on top without letting me weigh it . It was the largest, the rest look like the right tomato.)

Little fluffy) But they ate the top one) they didn’t let me weigh it or take a photo))

Of the hybrids that impressed or secured a positive impression: Cornabelle (Natasha, thank you, I checked it out and agree with you 100%, I will always plant it)), Tsarskoe Temptation, Cherry Paints - well, they have no equal in sweetness, and in the OG I was amazed by the Sofa hybrid , I was amazed by the yield, painlessness and taste. For a hybrid it is very sweet. But he's really fit for the street. According to reviews from those who planted in the greenhouse, it did not open up for them.

What conclusions have I drawn for myself: I am leaning more and more towards varieties. Yes, hybrids are easier to grow and more stable, but how inferior they taste to the varieties! Therefore, this year I collected my own seeds, and if the germination test is positive, I will zone the varieties at home. And I will definitely buy new products.

Well, and finally, not a tomato, but my favorite: green Lasanta pepper)))

Lasanta)) a week ago, now I’m starting to blush)

Tomato Superstar

About the plant:

Check the expiration date (or sell-by date) of the seeds. It is indicated on the back of the package - month and year.

Sowing seeds only in high-quality soil. It should be loose, not caking, not forming a crust. Often the seeds do not germinate precisely because they cannot break through the surface crust. Sowing in coconut substrate gives good results. But it is used for large and medium-sized seeds, such as vegetables. For small seeds, use a more uniform soil. If you doubt the quality of the soil (or prepare it yourself), be sure to steam it in the oven or microwave.

To sow seeds, it is not necessary to take very fertile soil, much less add granular fertilizers to it. If there is too much fertilizer in the soil, the tender roots of the seeds can get burned and die. You won't see any shoots.

Soak vegetable seeds and large flower seeds to speed up germination. To soak, do not fill them with water in a glass, otherwise they will suffocate without air and simply “drown.” According to the rules, the seeds are soaked on a saucer in gauze moistened with water; there should be no puddles. Place the saucer with gauze in a bag so that the moisture does not evaporate, and place it in a warm place (22-30 degrees). After soaking, sow only the hatched seeds (photo 5), this is convenient to do with a toothpick. It is better to throw away seeds that have not hatched after a couple of days. Their growth energy is reduced, and the plants will develop poorly, even if the seeds later germinate.

BUT! Seeds whose packaging says they have been treated with fungicides or growth stimulants should not be soaked! For clarity, dyes are added during processing and the seeds change color (for example, green or red cucumber seeds).

When sowing seeds, it is important to know how deep to plant them in the soil. The general rule is that the sowing depth is equal to two to three times the size of the seed itself.

On average, this is 1-1.5 cm. Sow either in furrows of this depth, or separately lay out the seeds in the holes. Small seeds (the size of a poppy seed or smaller) are not buried, but sown superficially, only lightly dusted with soil. To do this, take good purchased soil or sifted compost. The main thing is that this soil does not form a crust.

6. Some seeds need light to germinate. That is, you cannot sprinkle them with soil at all, but immediately after sowing, place them under a lamp or near a window. Such plants include strawberry, ageratum, lobelia, snapdragon, mimulus, petunia, purslane, celosia, Waller's balsam. The seeds of these crops are sown on the soil surface. The soil is pre-moistened

The seeds are pressed down with a board or carefully sprayed with a spray bottle. Begonia and strawberry seeds can be sown in snow spread on the soil

When it melts, it lightly presses the seeds into the soil.

The seed container is covered with glass or film to maintain high humidity. It is ventilated daily to avoid disease.

When sowing seeds for seedlings, it is important to consider the temperature. For most crops it should be at least 20 degrees

It is usually cooler on the windowsill where we place our crops. This can lead to seed rotting in the soil. That's why they don't germinate. Immediately after sowing, it is better to keep containers with seeds away from the window. But keep a close eye on the seedlings. As soon as they appeared, they were immediately born! And the brighter it is at the beginning, the better. The best option is to use lamps for seedlings. Follow these simple rules and sowing seeds without problems is guaranteed.

Advantages and disadvantages of the variety

Many gardeners are biased towards hybrid vegetable crops, considering their taste to be imperfect. Unlike its “relatives”, the Semenych tomato produces a tasty early harvest. In addition, it is endowed with a large number of advantages.

The main advantages of the variety include:

friendly return of the harvest;
fruit evenness;
resistance to tomato diseases;
100% seed germination;
convenience in carrying out agricultural technology.

No particular disadvantages were identified in the variety.

When growing, tomato does not require special agricultural technology. Sowing seeds and transplanting seedlings is carried out according to the standard scheme. The bush doesn't grow much. The plant responds well to complex fertilizing. If you build a support for the tomato and remove all the leaves during fruit development, the plant will also be able to decorate the area with its decorative appearance.

Description of the tomato variety Anastasia with photo

The parameters of the bush are very important for summer residents. Such characteristics affect the size of the area required for beds with Anastasia tomatoes. A detailed description helps to accurately determine the choice of variety:

Maturing period. Hybrid Anastasia is considered mid-early. 100-105 days after the emergence of seedlings, the biological maturity of the fruit begins.
The plant is determinate, the height of an adult tomato does not exceed 70 cm. If the variety is planted in a greenhouse, the height of the bush increases slightly and reaches 1 m. This is a compact hybrid that does not require much space, as well as a time-consuming pinching operation.
The leaves of the Anastasia tomato are medium-sized and green.
Strongly dissected peduncle, simple inflorescence.
From 3 to 4 fruits ripen on a tomato branch, in some cases up to 6.

The number of fruits on each branch usually reaches its maximum value

The Anastasia hybrid has several namesakes. Some inexperienced gardeners confuse it with the varieties “Nastenka” or “Nastena”.

Important! The listed types of tomatoes have a ripening period that is different from the Anastasia variety

Description of fruits

Main characteristics of the Anastasia tomato fruit:

round, smooth shape;
the color of unripe fruits is green, ready for picking - burgundy-red;
weight no more than 130 g, the first tomatoes can weigh about 180 g;
the pulp is fleshy, juicy, soft;
The peel is glossy and dense, so the fruits have good keeping quality and transportability.

The tomatoes in the photo fully correspond to the description compiled by the originator of the variety

The amount of fruit on a branch can cause it to break. If there are a lot of ovaries, then it is recommended to tie such stems to a support.

A huge number of fruits on one bush pleases vegetable growers, but requires tying up the branches

Determinate varieties of tomatoes.

The peculiarity of tomatoes of this variety is that they have a limit in growth, it is not infinite, they have a limited formation of the number of brushes, no more than eight per bush, after the formation of the last brush, the growth of the bush stops.

There are two groups of determinate varieties: - medium-growing; - low-growing.

Standard varieties are low in stature, have a strong, thickened stem, ripening occurs relatively early, seedlings are no more than 45 days old, and after three months of cultivation fruiting begins. One bush has no more than three brushes.

Medium-sized tomato varieties grow no more than a meter, seedlings are about 50 days old, and fruiting begins after three and a half months. Representatives of such varieties are quite productive, approximately 7-8 tassels per bush.

Characteristics and description of the Tamina tomato variety, its yield

The Tamina tomato was bred by careful German breeders and is intended exclusively for early breeding and collection. From the moment the seedlings sprout to the appearance of the first fruits, it takes from 2 months to 80 days. To grow these varieties, you can use both open soil and greenhouse conditions, which is considered its positive feature. Let's take a closer look at the main characteristics and description of these tomatoes.

Advantages of the variety

The bush stretches up to 170 centimeters in height and produces about 6 fruiting clusters, each of which grows 7 - 8 fairly large tomatoes. Each fruit weighs about 80 - 100 grams.

Bushes of the Tamina variety are slender and beautiful, the fruiting clusters are not spreading, and are close to the trunk. When leaving reviews, summer residents usually call this type of plant apple trees. The fruits themselves have a bright red color of skin and pulp, excellent presentation due to their perfectly round shape. Not prone to cracking, except in case of severe overripeness.

Tomatoes of this variety are universal fruits: equally good for any method of canning (from pickling to making juices and adding to other dishes) and salads with fresh vegetables and other ingredients.

How to plant and care properly

You need to sow Tamina tomatoes for seedlings two months (at least 50 days) before they are planned to be planted in open ground or in another permanent place. Seeds germinate best if they are provided with the optimal temperature for this, between 23 and 25 degrees Celsius.

When the time comes to plant seedlings in the ground, you need to maintain the distance between the bushes - one square meter is optimal for placing three adult plants, and you need to focus on this indicator.

An adult tomato of the Tamina variety requires pinching and staking; the bush can grow into one or two stems. The stems are dense, and the leaves resemble potato leaves. The plant has a good response to watering; it likes it when fertilized with complex mineral fertilizers.

Plant growth and development stimulants, which are specially designed for these purposes, are positively perceived by this early ripening variety. They improve not only seed germination and stem health, but also have a positive effect on fruit set and their yield. It is recommended to use such substances; they will be especially useful for beginning gardeners. They are popular with those who grow tomatoes for themselves and for sale, as they are unpretentious to environmental conditions.

We can say that planting Tamina tomatoes gives an almost 100% guarantee that the summer resident will soon have tomatoes.

An additional advantage of the variety is that the fruits are undemanding when it comes to transportation: the tomatoes almost do not wrinkle or burst, except with very rough handling. The fruits have a very long shelf life.

Description of the early tomato variety Sam grows and its characteristics

To appreciate the tomato It grows itself, the characteristics and descriptions of the variety given by the manufacturers may not be sufficient. But reviews from gardeners who grew this variety provide more information about the plant’s yield in different climatic zones. The variety Sam grows and is suitable for cultivation in greenhouses and open ground throughout Russia.

General description of the plant

The tomato belongs to the group of determinate early ripening varieties. Bushes of the variety Sam grows grow up to only 30-40 cm. The semi-spreading structure of the plant does not require shaping or staking; it is quite compact and tolerates compacted plantings well. It grows on its own and does not require a large volume of soil and can be grown in containers on a balcony or windowsill.

How to care for Sanka tomatoes?

Tomato Sanka takes root well in open ground and practically does not get sick. When transplanting into beds, the plant is deepened to the cotyledon leaves. At the bottom of each hole you need to put 0.5 tsp of Urgas fertilizer. The rooting pattern is 30x40 cm; this variety tolerates thickened plantings well. It is not advisable to plant it after potatoes, eggplants or peppers, but pumpkin or legumes are good predecessors. Variety Sanka - proper cultivation and care:

The basic rule of care is timely watering. It should be moderate, until the soil moisture is even. Cold water should not be used to water tomatoes. You should also avoid getting liquid on fruits and leaves.
For an excellent harvest, tomatoes are fed several times during the season with a solution of manure or an organic composition.
An important step in caring for the Sanka tomato is weeding the weeds and loosening the soil.

Tomato Sanka - bush formation

When answering the question whether the Sanka tomato needs to be planted or not, experienced gardeners say that this is not necessary. Due to short stature, these procedures can be avoided. Only individual heavy hands that hang down to the ground require a garter. Stepping is used only to reduce planting density

At the same time, it is important not to cut off the main shoot directed upward (the growth tip) - without it, the plant will not be able to produce new fruits. Stepchildren less than 5 cm should not be cut either. During the procedure, excess large side shoots are broken off by hand or separated with a knife.

During the procedure, excess large side shoots are broken off by hand or separated with a knife.

Advantages and disadvantages

The tomato variety Grows itself has the following advantages:

early ripening of the crop, quick return from the bushes;
there is no need to form stems;
characteristic tomato taste with a sour note.

Ripe tomatoes can be transported over long distances. They are stored for a long time and deteriorate slowly. Low growing bushes make harvesting easy. The tomato variety itself grows has an immune system that can protect against any disease. Bushes are rarely affected by pests.

The variety has another advantage - the ability to plant on a balcony or loggia. Due to its compactness, caring for a tomato does not create additional problems, especially if the bush is grown in containers with soil on the balcony.

To obtain an early harvest, it is recommended to plant 2–3 weeks before the stated seed is planted in the soil for seedlings. This approach will allow you to enjoy home-grown vegetables in mid-spring.

Among the disadvantages is the thin skin, which is not able to prevent cracking of tomatoes. In general, the characteristics of the vegetable are satisfactory for gardeners, which makes it a favorite on plots of land. It grows on its own and does not require careful care. All that is required of a person is timely watering in the initial stages of growth and removal of weeds from the beds. If you adhere to this, tomato bushes will delight you with ripe, juicy and tasty fruits.

When to plant seedlings in a permanent place

When planting seedlings, you should follow some recommendations:

Planting tomatoes in open ground begins when the soil is well warmed up and its temperature is not lower than +15 °C at a depth of 40 cm. In colder soil, plant roots cannot absorb nutrients from the soil.
Planted in soil that is too cold, tomatoes become susceptible to various fungal diseases. The root system of such plants develops slowly; all excess nutrients pass from the root system to the above-ground green mass. That is, a tomato planted in cold soil will subsequently have a lush and beautiful bush, a weakly branched root system, and a rather weak yield.
According to popular wisdom, tomatoes can be planted in the ground when full-fledged, mature leaves appear on birch trees. At this time, the soil has already been sufficiently warmed by the spring sun, you can begin planting tomatoes. In the southern regions, gardeners focus on the singing of cicadas. When the evening is filled with the loud trills of cicadas, it’s time to plant tomato seedlings.
If a gardener plans to plant young tomatoes under a film (in a greenhouse or a film tunnel), then in the southern regions you can begin replanting work after April 15, and in colder regions - from the first of May.

In any case, when deciding to plant tomato seedlings in open ground, it is necessary to take into account the weather, since spring can be either early and warm or cold. In different climates, the conditions for growing tomatoes in open ground can vary significantly. Yamal tomatoes are a low-growing variety, so they are planted according to one of these schemes:

In two rows - with a distance between rows of 40 cm, and a distance between plants in a row of 25–30 cm. Every two rows, a path at least 60 cm wide is laid. The plants in the rows are arranged in relation to the tomatoes of the adjacent row in a checkerboard pattern.
In four lines - with the above distance between the lines and plants. With this planting scheme, a path for the gardener, at least 1 m wide, is laid every four rows. The tomatoes in the rows are arranged in a checkerboard pattern in relation to the tomatoes of the adjacent row.

Experienced plant growers recommend placing tomato rows from south to north; this arrangement contributes to good sunlight for the plants and earlier ripening of the fruit. Did you know? In cooking, tomatoes are used in various forms: fresh, stewed, fried, boiled, as an ingredient or base for first and second courses, sauces, as preserves or pickles, as well as in a dried and dried state. Some exotic lovers even make jam from green tomatoes.

Description

Gardeners who grow vegetables pay attention to the description of the variety when purchasing seeds. It should grow and develop well in a city with characteristic climatic features. It grows on its own - exactly what you need. Suitable for growing in any climate zone.

Agricultural technology

It grows itself - a tomato that was bred to sow seeds directly into the soil. In this case, the earth should warm up to a temperature of at least +15 °C. At the beginning of March, seeds are planted in seedling containers. When planting sprouts in open soil or sowing seeds, you must adhere to the 30x50 cm pattern.

Green mass

The plant is considered low-growing, as it reaches a height of no more than 45 cm. On average, the length of the lashes varies from 30 to 40 cm. The bushes do not require shaping by humans. The foliage is medium, the leaves have a rich green color.

Fruit

The shape of the fruit is flat-round. The pulp is rich red. The weight of one tomato varies from 60 to 110 g. The bushes produce a good harvest. The taste of tomatoes has a characteristic tomato sourness.

The variety itself grows and is distinguished by its productivity. From 1 sq. m harvest up to 5 kg of fruit. Tomatoes grow quickly. In addition, they ripen within a few days. From sowing the seed to harvesting, 90–110 days pass.

Tomatoes taste different from store bought ones. Suitable for preparing fresh salads and hot dishes. They can be used during canning. Moreover, they roll up tomatoes separately from other vegetables or make assorted colors. Samo grows is also used for pickling.

How to grow tomatoes

To obtain a bountiful harvest, it is important to follow the peculiarities of caring for the variety.

Landing

Tomatoes are planted in open ground or a greenhouse when the soil temperature rises above +16 °C. At low rates, the root system of tomatoes will not develop.

The beds are prepared in advance: add a bucket of humus per 1 m2, 1 tbsp. ash, 30 g of potassium sulfate, 50 g of superphosphate. In the fall, the soil is dug up and weeds are removed.

Fertilizers are added directly to the holes: 0.5 kg of humus, 1 tbsp. l. ash, 1 tsp. potassium sulfate, 1 tsp. superphosphate. Before planting, water the plants well and cut off the lower weak leaves.

The Liana tomato is a low-growing variety, so its planting pattern is 30–40 cm between bushes and 60 cm between rows. After placing the seedlings in the holes, they are watered generously with warm water. After this, watering is stopped for 7–10 days so that the plant’s root system develops. Tomatoes are tied so that the lower leaves do not touch the ground.

Care

Caring for Lyana is usual for low-growing varieties: regular loosening, weeding, watering and fertilizing. The plant is prone to bushiness, so the 2 strongest shoots are selected and the remaining shoots are removed.

Watering is carried out rarely, but abundantly, soaking the soil up to 50 cm in depth. Depending on the air temperature, moisten the soil 1-2 times a week. In August, the amount of watering is reduced.

Throughout the growing season, tomatoes need feeding. Before flowering, they are fertilized with a complex mineral composition, infusion of chicken manure or slurry. During the flowering period, spray with boric acid. When pouring the fruits, feed them with fertilizers containing phosphorus: superphosphate or potassium monophosphate, diluted in water according to the instructions.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

Do not plant tomatoes after peppers, eggplants, or potatoes. They belong to the nightshade family, so they are prone to the same diseases. The best predecessors for tomatoes: carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, legumes, garlic.

For the strength of the culture, it is formed into 2-3 stems. The variety has rather dense foliage, so some of it is cut off so that the fruits ripen better.

Lyana is a high-yielding variety with a friendly yield of fruits. The plants are tied up, otherwise the stems will not withstand the weight of the vegetables and will break off.

Diseases and pests

The tomato is genetically immune to blossom end rot and bacterial spot. It has a tendency to a viral disease - tobacco mosaic, when variegated and dark spots appear on the stem and leaves, after which the plant dies. Causes of the disease: high humidity, lack of light and excess nitrogen in the soil.

The stems of infected plants are cut off, and the sections are disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide. At the initial stage, the bushes are treated with a solution of karbofos: 75 g of pesticide is taken per 10 liters. Spray tomatoes once every 2 weeks.

Preventive treatment against late blight is carried out with low-toxic drugs (“Fitosporin”, “Phenomenon”, “Allirin”) 2 weeks after planting and continues throughout the season, at intervals of 2 weeks.

Pests of the crop - whitefly, Colorado potato beetle, mole cricket, spider mite:

The whitefly is a 0.5 cm butterfly. Its larvae gnaw leaves and transmit viral diseases. Spraying with “Fitoferm” and watering the insecticide “Aktara” at the root help against the insect.
Treatment of bushes with Aktara, Iskra, and Inta-vir will protect plants from the Colorado potato beetle and its larvae.
If there is a mole cricket in the area, Medvetox and Grizzly granules are placed in the soil.
Fighting spider mites - spraying bushes with Fitoferm and acaricidal preparations.

Tomato Stanichnik - description and characteristics of the variety

Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family. Experts have developed many varieties, each of them has individual characteristics. Tomatoes of the Stanichnik variety are the development of Russian scientists twenty years ago. Tomatoes were included in the register for propagation in open ground. Tomatoes are recommended for growing on large acreage.

Advantages of the variety

The main feature of the variety is its high yield. Tomatoes have excellent taste, and the fruits ripen almost at the same time. Stanichnik tomatoes can be harvested by mechanization, which is an important criterion for harvesting from farmers' fields. There is also the possibility of rare fees. Tomatoes tolerate transportation well without significant loss or deformation of the fruit.

Description of the variety

Low-growing bushes reach a height of 48 to 55 cm. The smooth leaves are green in color, the surface has a slight corrugation. Sown seeds produce ripe fruits in 95-100 days. They are collected in tassels of 7-9 pieces each.

Vegetables are used for fresh consumption, for preparing fresh vegetable salads, as well as for all types of preparations. The number of tomatoes harvested depends on the growing region.

Cultivation

It is recommended to sow seeds in mid-March - approximately 10-20 days. First, the seeds are soaked for a day in a solution of potassium permanganate. The soil should be mixed with peat or humus. The seeds are placed in the grooves and moistened. The container with the crops is covered with glass on top. After 5 days, the first shoots will appear. After 2-3 leaves appear, the seedlings are dropped into a separate container. Watering and fertilizing are carried out as needed.

Planting in a permanent place is carried out after hardening the seedlings. To do this, it is taken outside for 10 days, increasing the length of stay. No more than 3 seedlings should be placed per 1 square meter. The planting area should be well lit. The plant is heat-loving, so unfavorable climatic conditions can affect the yield of the variety.

Rules of care

Feeding the bushes should be done 2 times per season. First, fertilizers are applied after the ovaries appear, then the plants are fed when the harvest begins. Nutrient formulations must contain nitrogen and potassium.
It is advisable to water the tomatoes in the evening with warm water. Watering is carried out 1-2 times a week. Tomatoes are not very susceptible to soil moisture, but air humidity can affect yield. During fruit ripening, it should not exceed 60 percent. Lack of moisture can lead to the appearance of fungal diseases, the stems will stretch, and the yield will decrease. To avoid such consequences, it is necessary to carry out preventive treatment of bushes with medications.
Approximately once a week the soil should be weeded to remove weeds. Loosening the soil near the roots will help get rid of harmful insects.
Chemical preparations that should be sprayed on bushes for preventive purposes will help against pests.

By following all the care rules, you can get the highest possible yield of healthy and very tasty tomatoes.

Gardeners and farmers note that the variety has more advantages than disadvantages. The red, fleshy fruits have earned respect for their taste and versatility.

Georgiy S., 65 years old:
I have been growing vegetables all my life. I tried growing many different varieties of tomatoes. I liked the variety Stanichnik because it does not require tying or pinching. All fruits are dense and large. Excellent for fresh consumption and for preparing various preparations. My wife always prepares sauces and juice for the winter. All products are of excellent quality. Tomatoes can be stored for a long time, right up to frost. I want to plant more bushes next year.
Nadezhda Anatolyevna, 49 years old:
A friend advised me to plant the Stanichnik variety. The bushes turned out to be low, I didn’t tie them up. I weeded and fertilized all summer, as stated in the growing instructions. The result obtained exceeded my expectations. The tomatoes are very tasty, juicy and meaty. I prepared juice for the whole winter, and left a lot of fresh fruits. Very well stored, no loss.

Tips for planting and care

Basic principles to follow when growing Family tomatoes:

Observe planting dates when sowing seeds for seedlings.
When choosing a place to plant, observe crop rotation.
Plant seedlings in the ground (greenhouse) taking into account weather conditions.
During the entire growing season, fertilize with organic and mineral fertilizers.

Sowing seeds

Prepare the soil for sowing and water it 2 weeks before sowing. In addition to garden soil, take:

peat;
humus;
rotted sawdust;
river sand;
ash;
fertilizers

First, upon visual inspection, remove seeds with defects and damaged ones, then empty (not germinating) seeds by soaking them for 10-15 minutes in water. Discard those that float on the surface.

Place the seeds in seed boxes at intervals of 3 by 4 cm, cover with a 1 cm layer of soil (humus). Cover the boxes with film to maintain soil and air moisture and place them in a room where the air temperature does not fall below 23 °C.

When 50% of the seeds hatch, the film must be removed. When all the seeds have hatched, the room temperature can be reduced to 18-20 °C. This technique allows you to speed up the laying of the first flower clusters. The fruits will be larger in the future.

Picking

Picking - transplanting tomato seedlings from a common box into separate cups with a volume of 0.7 liters or more. Before picking, no later than 3 days in advance, water the seedlings with fertilizer. It is recommended to use potassium nitrate with sodium humate. You can water the fertilizer solution again after a week.
