SEEDS: TOMATO PURPLE HEART OF REINHARD /REINHARD'S PURPLE HEART/

Cultivation and care technology

After planting the plants, they need to be well watered, after which there is no need for additional moisture.
Watering with a drainage pipe is usually sufficient. The soil should be mulched every time after watering, this will help maintain moisture in the soil. During the first year of growth of the seedling, it does not need fertilizing - the fertilizers that were added during the planting process will help the plant develop for several more years.

Watering and loosening

The grapes are drought-resistant, so it is not necessary to moisten the soil of the bush abundantly. The norm for watering a plant is considered to be up to 15 liters.

• Approximate watering plan:
• In early spring
• Before the flowering period of the variety;
• When the grapes begin to ripen;
• Last week of October.

Feeding and fertilizers

When the plant becomes biennial, it needs feeding. Fertilizers will help increase grape yield levels in subsequent years.

Approximate feeding system:

• In the spring before flowering. Nitrophoska and boric acid are dissolved in 10 liters of water and the plants are fertilized.
• 2 weeks after the first feeding. The same composition as in the spring.
• During the period before the harvest ripens. For the solution you will need nitrophoska, potassium salt and potassium magnesium.

Pinching the shoot

The ovaries of the bushes will grow better if the shoots are pinched.

Thanks to pinching, nutrients can be evenly distributed throughout the fruit tree, giving it strength to grow and create new shoots.

Shaping and trimming

Since the bush of the variety is vigorous, it must be trimmed short. Compared to other species, “Vostorg” is left with a larger number of buds – that’s 3-4 eyes.

Circumcision rules:

• There should be less than 50 buds left on the fruit tree;
• Before the bush begins to bloom, the shoots are pinched;
• No more than 25 shoots per bush.

Preparing for winter

The variety has high frost resistance, so adult plants do not require shelter for the winter. However, it is better to take care of young seedlings - in the first winter they need additional protection. You need to create the shape of a vessel from a covering material, and cover it with sand and moss on top. Then cover it with snow.

Protection from diseases and pests

The variety is resistant to many diseases and pests, but diseases that can overcome it are mildew and podium. The main and dangerous pests for grapes are aphids and phylloxera. That is why “Delight” periodically requires spraying. The variety is also resistant to fungal diseases, but spraying for preventive purposes will not interfere with it.

Processing onion beds in July

In mid-summer, vegetable crops need a lot of heat and light, nutrients and moisture. If there is a deficiency of such important factors, the onion will begin to develop much more slowly, causing the bulbs to begin to become smaller.

Onions in July. This month the plant has already developed well and has formed up to ten feathers. In the garden bed his greenery stands like a powerful wall! The onion turnip begins to grow. And it is during this period that the plant vitally needs both additional nutrition and good feeding.

In hot July weather, you need to actively water the onions and prevent the soil from drying out. Onion beds should be loose and moist throughout July. When watering, you should direct the stream of water to the row spacing, and not to the onion feather. Morning watering of the ridges is recommended. But getting moisture on the forming bulbs is undesirable, as the plants may begin to rot or become infected with downy mildew.

At the end of the month, you should feed the plants with potassium-phosphorus complexes. Such fertilizing will give the vegetable crop strength and the harvest will be large-fruited. Nitrogen cannot be applied in July, since such fertilizer will delay the ripening process of the crop and affect the quality of onions during storage.

The plant in the process of formation does not like temperature changes. Therefore, in cold weather it is better to cover the beds. Active watering should be completed in early August and the procedure of exposing the bulbs should be carried out for good ripening of the crop.

With this care, garlic and onions can produce a good and high-quality harvest. The garlic bulbs and heads will be large, juicy and of high quality. If everything is done correctly, the onion will be stored for a very long time.

Preparing for landing

To obtain a good harvest, attention to seed, soil and growing conditions is required. Spice propagation options:

Spice propagation options:

• seeds;
• root division;
• cuttings.

How to grow lovage by dividing the root:

• in the middle or end of May, dig up a plant that is at least 3 years old;
• cut into 2-3 parts so that each has 3 stems and at least 3 root buds;
• place each part in the designated place;
• Take care - water thoroughly.

Cuttings of lovage in stages:

• cut off a shoot with 3–4 leaves with a sharp razor;
• put in wet sand, put in the shade;
• moisturize a little every day;
• roots appear after 2 weeks, after which the cuttings are ready for transplanting into the ground.

Caring for plants grown by cuttings or dividing the bush is somewhat different. They require abundant watering after planting in the ground for better rooting.

When to plant lovage

Timing for planting lovage depending on the growing method:

• From seeds, seedlings are planted at home in early March;
• in open ground with seeds - in May;
• greenhouse - in April;
• open ground before winter - in early November.

You probably plant other herbs and crops. Learn how to plant wild garlic, how to prepare seeds, care for and harvest.

Soil and seeds for planting

Lovage seeds do not require preparation before planting. To speed up germination, they are soaked in a solution of the growth stimulator "Epin" or in aloe juice for 4 hours.

Growing crops in open ground is carried out on any soil except clay. On heavy soil, even good care will not yield a harvest.

The plant is not demanding on the soil, but grows better in fertile, well-drained areas. The place needs to be prepared in the fall:

• clear of plantings and weeds;
• when digging per 1 m2, add rotted manure - 1 bucket, wood ash - 2 handfuls, 15 g each of superphosphate and urea;
• level the surface with a rake.

In the spring, you don’t have to dig up the area; just loosen it. Landing site requirements:

• well lit;
• without stagnant water.

When growing at home, use universal soil or soil for vegetable seedlings.

Dogwood: planting, growing, care

Dogwood

For residents of mid-latitudes, having such a “handsome plant” in their garden is problematic, although the plant itself does not require special care. The thing is that dogwood begins to bloom earlier than other plants, but its growing season is about 250 days in a warm climate - for example, in the Kuban. Therefore, for middle latitudes, you need to acquire a variety with early fruit ripening.

Dogwood belongs to the Dogwood family, presented in the form of shrubs or trees not exceeding 8 m. You can find it growing freely in the Crimea, Transcarpathia and the Caucasus - in thickets, undergrowth or forest edges. Dogwood lives more than 100 years. Common dogwood (Cornus mas), or, as it is also called, male dogwood, is widespread in our country.

Dogwood flowers

The berries of the common dogwood are bright red (during the selection process, varieties with amber-colored berries were bred), fleshy, with a drupe inside.

Dogwood fruits

Dogwood tolerates frost well, but at -30 °C the branches are damaged. Therefore, young dogwood plants require good shelter for the winter. If the temperature is slightly above +40 °C, the leaves on the young tree may dry out; in this case, the dogwood’s first years of life in the garden are shaded with sunflowers and corn.

If you have grown Purple Heart tomatoes, please write your impressions of this variety. What was the yield and taste of the fruits like under your climatic conditions? If possible, attach to your review a photo of the entire bush as a whole or individual fruits you grew.

Your reviews of the Purple Heart tomato and additions to the description will help many tomato lovers evaluate this variety objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.

How to prepare a seedling?

When purchasing seed, you should focus on the root: the more powerful it is, the faster the plant will develop. You should be wary of weak, weathered, thin roots with obvious signs of pain.

You need to purchase powerful seedlings with 2-3 root branches at least 30 cm in length. The bark on the trunk should be intact and the branches undamaged.

To fully verify the viability of the plant you like, you need to lightly cut the bark. If the cut is green, then the choice is correct; if it is brown, you will have to continue searching for a suitable dogwood.

Before planting dogwood seedlings, they should be placed in water for several days.

Dates for planting seedlings and planting in the ground

Climatic conditions are also taken into account when sowing seeds for seedlings, but there is a general rule: by the day the seedlings are planted in the ground, it should warm up to at least 15°. When grown in greenhouses, the soil temperature should be 10°C. If the bushes are picked, the seed must be sown 57 days before planting in a new place. When choosing a seedless cultivation method, 10 days less than the specified period. Optimal planting dates for regions of the country:

• central Russia - the period from the end of March to the beginning of the next month;
• southern regions – mid-March;
• northern regions - mid-April.

Before you start germinating seedlings, you need to prepare the seeds

This is an important condition for obtaining a stable and high-quality harvest. The material is treated to protect it from disease and infection

Suitable grains can be identified by their bright color. When soaked in a saline solution (5%), they do not float to the surface. Material stored for more than a year must be soaked in a growth stimulator. Disinfection is performed as follows:

• a weak solution of potassium permanganate (1%) will get rid of rot, mildew and mold;
• To protect against larvae of harmful insects and get rid of eggs, the grains are placed in hot water for 10–15 minutes.

To get seedlings as quickly as possible, the seed is left in the growth stimulator for 15–20 hours. The following drugs are used: Energen, Zircon or Baikal-EM1. You can also find analogues in a wide variety on sale. They must be used strictly according to the instructions on the packaging.

The main stages of growing seedlings at home

Seed preparation Basic methods of preparation: heating, disinfection, soaking in growth stimulants, bubbling, hardening, germination. These techniques aim for different results and have different purposes. More details

Soaking seeds According to experts, pre-soaking can increase yield by 30%. The duration of soaking is determined depending on the solution used and the quality of the seeds. More details

What soil to choose for seedlings The soil for planting tomato seeds at home should not be taken from the garden. The soil for tomato seedlings must have good breathability, provide the required level of humidity, and the acidity level pH should be about 6.5 units. More details
