Description

Belongs to early ripening varieties, ripens approximately 103-105 days after germination. The determinate type bush grows 40-50 centimeters in height. It is weakly branched, with large green leaves, and has a simple inflorescence.

The fruits are flat-round, dense, and not subject to cracking. Their weight can range from 100 to 140 grams; at the ripe stage, tomatoes turn red. They have an excellent sweet and sour taste and a characteristic aroma of tomatoes. They are distinguished by the friendly ripening of fruits, which is very popular with many summer residents. From one square meter you can get up to 7 kg of tomatoes. They are used fresh for food, in the form of salads, and do not lose their taste during processing. Suitable for making juice and sauces. The fruits can be pickled whole for the winter.

The June variety is included in the state register of the Russian Federation as suitable for cultivation in open soil and greenhouses. It can be planted throughout Russia and Ukraine, creating the necessary conditions for tomatoes, depending on climatic conditions.

Description of the June tomato variety and its characteristics

Recently, the June tomato has gained great popularity among gardeners. There are many positive reviews left about it. It was loved by summer residents for its excellent quality and unpretentiousness.

Let's take a closer look at its description:

When you grow vegetables yourself and invest your care and effort, you want to receive a reward for your work as soon as possible. This opportunity is provided by the June tomato variety. It is characterized by early ripening - from sowing the seeds to ripening the fruits, you need to wait only 98 to 110 days. Having planted in March, you can start harvesting in June.
The plant grows to only 40–50 cm, which reduces the effort and time spent on gartering and pinching it. Both novice gardeners and professionals will be pleased with these properties.
The June tomato variety has the ability to grow equally both in open ground and in a greenhouse. This was one of the reasons for its popularity. After all, not everyone has a greenhouse on their property. The fruits are suitable both for sale and for filling your own bins.

High yield is another feature of the variety. From one meter of area you can harvest up to 8 kilograms of crop. This takes into account the planting of bushes with a frequency of 6 to 8 pieces per unit area of soil. If you plant more often, this will affect the size of the fruits, they will be smaller, this is explained by the insufficient amount of nutrients and sunlight. Growing does not require special care, just watering and loosening the soil.
An equally important factor is resistance to diseases that nightshades usually carry. Early ripening of fruits protects them from brown rot, which spreads to bushes bearing fruit from the end of July. This ability also saves processing labor and increases the volume of edible crops.
Versatility of use. Harvested tomatoes are suitable for eating raw, making salads, pickles, snacks, sauces and juice.

Preparing for sowing

Before planting, the seeds are first checked for germination by dipping them into a 5% saline solution. Seeds that are unsuitable for planting float, those that remain at the bottom are taken out and dried. To grow stronger seedlings, they need to be hardened off for 10 days; this is done as follows: put in the refrigerator at night, and kept warm during the day. On the day of sowing, the seed is soaked in “immunocytophyte” for 30 minutes, then placed in “Epin-extra” for 3 hours.

The soil is also prepared in advance; during the winter it is either taken out into the cold or brought into the warmth. Before planting, you can add a little wood ash to the soil.

Tomato growing technology

Our technology for growing tomatoes of different varieties is as follows. On our plot we allocate 6 long rows for tomatoes (including closed soil). On three of them, representatives of the best varieties of tomatoes, proven over the years, are grown (there are also tomatoes to choose from), guaranteeing a harvest according to the declared characteristics (regardless of the “delights” of the weather), and the other three are planted with new varieties, which are “considered” this way and that in during the above time. That seems to be it.

PS To make life easier for readers and reduce the time it takes to absorb the article, instead of determining the yield of vegetables in kg per 1 square meter, it will be written below - kg “per square”.

And now I am announcing the number of tomatoes tested in growing, presented below for your viewing, which can still be called the best - 60 varieties.

PS The results were recorded in an area that: with a good warm season, corresponds to the Central Black Earth region (region), and with a bad warm season, corresponds to the North-Western region. Naturally, this range of latitudes in which the above regions are located definitely includes Siberia, the Moscow region, the Middle Zone, the Urals, the Far East, and then figure out for yourself where exactly the paths lead to your site.

Growing seedlings

Prepared seeds are sown to a depth of 1 centimeter, then watered and covered, for example, with cellophane. For sprouting, the optimal temperature is 23-25 degrees. After the seedlings appear on the surface of the earth, the shelter is removed and the box with seedlings is placed in a bright place; a window sill is perfect; the temperature in the room can be reduced by several degrees. In the evening, young seedlings are illuminated, since daylight hours should be at least 15 hours.

After about two weeks, the seedlings will produce a couple of true leaves, which means that the plants can already be planted into separate containers. Before transplanting, seedlings undergo a hardening procedure; they are first taken out into fresh air for a few minutes, and the time spent outside is gradually increased.

New items from Russian Vegetable Garden

The history of the group began back in 1991. To date, more than 1 billion seed packets have been produced and sold under this brand. The manufacturer has its own scientific base in Shchelkovo (Moscow region), where they select varieties and hybrids, produce, clean, sort and package original and reproduction seeds.

These small tomatoes with contrasting (yellow and purple) colors create a unique duet in the garden and on your table, complementing each other with both color and taste. During the ripening period, tall plants are generously strewn with clusters of sweet and juicy fruits weighing about 20 g.

Plum drop F1

This new hybrid with delicious fruits of original color will not leave anyone indifferent. Two shades - deep purple and rich yellow - merge together in each pear-shaped tomato weighing 40 g. The fruits contain a lot of anthocyanins and carotene. Plants 90-150 cm high under favorable conditions can produce up to 500 beautiful and healthy fruits per season!

Gigantissimo F1

The name of the new hybrid speaks for itself. The fruits of this indeterminate plant can reach a weight of 1400 g. On bushes up to 180 cm high, 75-80 days after planting the seedlings, juicy and fleshy tomatoes of a rich red color with excellent taste ripen.

Transplantation into soil and care

The seedlings are planted in the beds; as soon as the weather returns to normal, the ground should warm up a little. Starting in the fall, the soil is fertilized with manure and compost, thus providing the bushes with nutrients for the entire season. In order to get an early harvest, plants are transplanted into the ground when the flowering phase begins.

The recommended planting pattern is 70 by 30, that is, no more than 6-7 plants should be placed on one square meter. As you know, bushes begin to bear fruit only after the root system has formed, so it is necessary to regularly hill up the bushes and loosen the rows so that enough oxygen reaches the roots.

Tomatoes need to be watered at least twice a week, preferably pouring water at the root, without getting on the leaves.

During the period of abundant flowering, you can treat the bushes with a stimulant, which helps the ovaries to form. The “June” variety does not require staking and removal of stepsons, but still, some gardeners advise forming a bush of 4 stems. You can fertilize with organic fertilizers, but there is no particular need for this; for this variety, the nutrients contained in the soil are sufficient.

Differences between tomato varieties

Each tomato variety has its own personality. Behind each are years of work by breeders and decades of popular selection. The beauty of the best modern tomato varieties is their diversity. So we “exploit” tomato hybrids and varieties with unlimited growth - indeterminate, semi-determinate, and determinate, the average height of which for the most part ranges from 70-80 cm, and low-growing vegetables, whose height does not exceed half a meter (all of them We will discuss the differences and features in the article below).

You cannot give advice based on outside experience, as some do, deliberately introducing not entirely truthful information about the yield (quantity and quality) of grown tomatoes. They say here they are - the best varieties of tomatoes of the past (and, further, in descending numbers) for tomatoes of the year. With everything, however, it should be noted that they often focus on plant varieties proposed for planting for open and closed ground, without understanding that the advice will be good only after personal experience - better after at least 3-4 years (honestly, but extremely rarely , and 2 are sometimes enough) and with meticulous experiments (starting with growing seedlings using the soil additive Vermiculite, the growth stimulator Gumi and, ending with fertilizing: magnesium sulfate, mineral fertilizer Fertika-Kemira and so on - already in the garden) for each variety.

Why am I giving such a deadline? Yes, because you definitely need to take into account the weather, which differs from year to year, and this is the minimum, in my opinion, period to have more or less an idea about each variety of tomatoes.

The best varieties of tomatoes with descriptions

Before you accurately choose a variety or hybrid of tomatoes, you need to decide where exactly they will grow.

For open ground, low-growing varieties that will ripen early are more suitable. Mid-ripening species in good summer weather can produce a fairly good harvest, but they are susceptible to microflora, which can destroy most fruits.

It is customary to grow tall varieties and various hybrids in greenhouses. Here you can plant absolutely any tomatoes, even late-ripening ones.

I would like to share my impressions of the June forum. The seeds were sent to our forum by girls from the tomato-tomato website (tomat-pomidor.com). Reviews about it were very good - namely that it is the earliest variety of tomatoes that knits well under unfavorable conditions.

I want to talk about my intermediate result - because the end of the season is still far away. BUT. Either my hands don’t grow from there, or my growing conditions are not suitable for it at all, but I’m confused. I'll wait until I can taste it to form a final opinion.

So, this year I planted 2 bushes of June forum. I must say that the seedlings were not very strong (I blame the store-bought soil). However, one bush bloomed while still sitting on my window, in a 0.5-liter glass. And the same tomato produced 3 tomatoes literally a week after planting. That's all. I can't say more positive things about him. It seemed to freeze - neither the bush itself had grown, nor new ovaries. These three tomatoes hang, growing slightly in size.

And the second one completely puzzled me. Small, he sat and sat - he didn’t grow in size, no flowers appeared. To be honest, I was ready to give up on him. And suddenly he came to his senses and began to shoot flowers - one after another. Now he has begun to set fruits. He's so curly. He couldn't wake up a month earlier.

Hello. Today I also planted the June Forum. I planted it in 2 stages. 1. in November. The tomato stood at home for a long time, in the heat and on a dark window, it ended up getting sick. (The conditions at my house are not very suitable for seedlings). In April I took it to the greenhouse. Transplanted into a larger volume. I try to replant seedlings as the root grows. It was sitting in my 25 liter bucket. Then in a 50 liter barrel. I was much behind in development compared to the plants I planted in January.

https://i.tvoysad.ru. 164af223.md.png In total, the first tomato was eaten in June. https://i.tvoysad.ru. bc77c8e9.md.jpg The plants were sitting in a 25 liter bucket, in a barrel, in the ground. They were bearing fruit well, consistently, everywhere. the taste is sour. But since these tomatoes were the first, we weren’t particularly picky. The harvest was abundant, and until recently everything bore fruit. I advise you to plant early in January, replant in a larger volume, plant in the “legs” of tall tomatoes, and in principle you can remove them at the end of July.

At the beginning of August, I cut the stepson and rooted it, now it is blooming and has grown a small tomato.
