Growing and caring for the plant

A special feature of growing this tomato variety is planting by seedlings. No matter how hardy Kubyshka tomatoes turn out to be, you cannot plant the seeds directly in the ground. When planting seedlings, it is advisable to choose a location further south so that the tomatoes receive sufficient heat and light. There are rules for feeding tomato seedlings.

When planting in a permanent place, 6 seedlings can be placed per 1 m², maintaining a distance between holes of 60-70 cm. Water the plant depending on the condition of the soil. If it has dried out, then you can safely water it. To preserve moisture longer, the soil under the bush is covered with dry leaves and straw. Mulch the soil.

An important feature when caring for a plant is weeding or loosening the soil. What does it give? The earth is enriched with oxygen, freed from excess moisture, the roots are strengthened and actively grow deeper into the ground. Weeding makes the bush healthier and reduces the likelihood of plant disease.

In their reviews, vegetable growers share their personal experiences of growing tomatoes. Their statements help many to objectively evaluate this variety and make a decision about growing it.

Valentin Sergeevich, 57 years old, St. Petersburg:

“As you know, the soil in our region is not the most favorable for planting tomatoes, and high humidity is not at all desirable for growing this crop. But the Kubyshka tomatoes withstood temperature changes and other unfavorable conditions. The harvest was a great success; we managed to collect 15 kg of tomatoes from the garden. And they taste excellent. The fruits turned out sweet and juicy.”

Raisa Petrovna, 52 years old, Voronezh:

“When I saw the rich seedlings, it became immediately clear that the harvest would be good. Although the summer turned out to be cool and rainy, the tomatoes produced great fruit. Formation was carried out in one stem. The variety is very good and hardy, so I recommend it to everyone.”

An interesting review from a gardener who planted tomatoes in open ground.

Olga, 41 years old, Moscow:

“Since late blight appears mainly from high humidity, I was afraid that the plant would get sick. The summer turned out to be very rainy and the air humidity was high. I had to pick the tomatoes at the beginning of August, and they began to ripen perfectly in the boxes. The harvest turned out to be quite good. Before planting the seedlings, I placed Superphosphate, ash and fertilizer granules containing a balanced set of essential minerals in the holes. I used grass clippings and nettles as mulch. I decided for myself that next year I will plant seeds for seedlings not in March, as usual, but at the end of February, and I will grow seedlings exclusively in a greenhouse.”

Landing

Before sowing, the seeds are prepared. Carry out screening and selection of quality material. To do this, the grains are soaked in a 1% saline solution, kept for 30 minutes, and any floating seeds are discarded.

For disinfection, use 1% potassium permanganate, 1% Fitosporin. To stimulate germination, soak in solutions of Epin or Agate for 8-10 hours.

Sowing dates: from the end of February, all of March, the first 2 weeks of April.

How to plant seeds correctly:

• prepare a nutrient substrate from turf, peat, vermiculite, disinfect it with potassium permanganate or calcination;
• make grooves 2 cm deep, in increments of 4 cm;
• spread the seeds at a distance of 2-3 cm;
• wrapped in film, kept in a warm place until germination (26-27 degrees).

When the seedlings appear, the polyethylene is removed and the containers are placed on the windowsills on the south side.

To ensure that the seedlings grow strong, regularly irrigate 2 times a week. Fertilizing is necessary with preparations with nitrogen (nitroammophoska, manure solution, Krepysh), watered before and after picking.

When 2 leaves appear, the seedlings are picked and transplanted into separate cups with a diameter of 7-8 cm.
