Features of the plant
The variety was bred by Polish breeders and has excellent taste. When choosing tomato seeds, the main thing is to know how to grow them correctly so that the harvest is maximum. To grow this tomato, it is better to buy seeds in specialized stores or order online.
Description and characteristics of the tomato variety Donkey Ears are as follows:
- bush height - about 2 m;
- plant type – indeterminate;
- each cluster contains 4-6 fruits;
- 110-115 days pass from the emergence of seedlings to the ripening of the crop.
In open ground, the described tomato can be grown in the central, southern and middle regions of Russia. Gardeners in Siberia and more northern regions are better off using greenhouses to get a good harvest. The bush is tall, which makes it possible to bloom and produce ovaries throughout the summer. Increased resistance to high temperatures contributes to high yields when grown in greenhouses. As gardeners note, in open ground the yield of the variety is lower.
When the fruits begin to ripen, heat can be detrimental to them. If the bushes are poorly ventilated, the tomatoes on the branches begin to crack and rot. Outdoors under normal conditions this occurs less frequently. The bush is spreading, 2-3 stems are formed on it, while there are few leaves on them, and they are small in size. This allows you to avoid excessive thickness. For normal development, it is necessary to get rid of excess shoots and carry out pinching. To ensure that the fragile stem breaks under the weight of the fruit, it is tied to supports.
The tomato tolerates temperature changes well without significantly reducing yield. It is also protected from many diseases. The excellent taste of the fruit allows it to be used for cooking and canning.
Fruit:
- have an oblong shape, slightly similar to a donkey's ear;
- their average weight is 400 g;
- sweet, with a raspberry-colored skin and a dense pulp structure.
Ripe fruits are stored for no more than 3 weeks and do not tolerate transportation well. When shaken, the thin peel bursts. As a result, the product becomes unattractive to the buyer.
Important: a variety can have several names. The defining word here will be ears (Donkey ears, Ox ears). When purchasing, you should be guided by the manufacturer’s labeling and the integrity of the packaging.
How to plant Olya F1 tomatoes. Secrets of Agricultural Technology
The yield of Olya f1 tomatoes depends on proper plant care. Seeds and soil must be prepared in advance for planting. Plant tomatoes in greenhouse conditions and in open beds in a timely manner.
Sowing seeds for seedlings
As it turned out, tomatoes that were grown in seedlings produced more fruits at an earlier date. It is recommended to sow Olya tomato seeds in the last days of February. Because as soon as the soil warms up, you need to transplant the seedlings into greenhouse conditions.
- In order to grow seedlings, good soil is selected. After all, not all land is suitable for tomatoes. The soil should be moisture-permeable, loosened, light and saturated.
- The soil mixture contains the following ingredients: peat, sawdust, soil from a greenhouse, in a ratio of 2:2:4, respectively. To loosen the soil, add a little perlite or eggshells. Mix all ingredients well. After this, the soil must be kept for 24 hours.
- If these components are missing, then we purchase a ready-made soil mixture, which is intended specifically for tomato seedlings, in the store.
- It is recommended to grow seedlings in separate containers, where they are transplanted from a common container when the plants have 2 true leaves. The development of young tomatoes occurs at an accelerated pace; they require additional feeding.
- Mineral fertilizers are used for seedlings, but the solutions are made 2 times less in concentration. You can add fertilizer when preparing the soil for seedlings so that you don’t have to feed it later. For this purpose, the soil must be mixed with wood ash, superphosphate (2-3 tablespoons) or potassium sulfate.
How to transplant tomato seedlings Olya
Tomatoes Olya: photo of variety
At home, tomato seedlings Olya F1 are grown for 55-60 days. After this, it is transplanted into open or closed ground. 7 days before transplanting, the bushes need gradual hardening. Containers with seedlings should be taken out into the open air. For the first time, the duration of the “walk” is 5-10 minutes, each time the period of time spent on the street increases. Before transplanting Olya f1 tomatoes, they must spend the whole night outdoors. This helps stimulate the immunity of tomatoes. Consequently, the bushes get sick less and adapt to new conditions more quickly.
Tomatoes are planted as follows: 50x40 cm. There should be 6 bushes on one square. After the seedlings have been planted, it is imperative to install supports for tying them up in the future. This is necessary especially when the winds can get strong and branches with tomatoes can break.
Agricultural technology
The Olya tomato is unpretentious in care, but judging by the reviews, it still needs care, at least minimally. It is necessary to properly fertilize the transplanted bushes so that large tomatoes grow. To obtain a harvest in a timely manner, compliance with the watering regime is required.
Fertilizers are applied 3-4 times/period. The first feeding is carried out 2 weeks after planting. An excellent harvest is obtained if you apply fertilizer as follows:
- the first feeding is a yeast solution to saturate the bushes with nitrogen;
- the second feeding is an infusion of wood ash (keep for 24 hours in advance);
- third feeding - after 10 days, iodine and boron solution.
Also, during the period, plants are mulched with organic fertilizers, sprayed with ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. This is necessary to stimulate the production of new tomatoes and to protect plants from diseases.
Watering of the variety is carried out when necessary, but exactly 1 time/7 days. In very hot weather, you can water 2 times/10 days.
Results
The Olya F1 tomato variety is a tempting tomato variety, popular among both professionals and beginners in gardening. Growing is simple. This requires compliance with certain rules: timely sowing of seedlings, proper application of fertilizers, watering of plants. The result will please you, as there will be a lot of fruits, this is 100%.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
In order to grow a good harvest, when choosing seeds, a gardener is guided by the characteristics of the variety given by the manufacturer and reviews of other gardeners about it.
The positive qualities include the following:
- excellent yield;

- high requirements for bush formation;
- the need for regular treatment to prevent diseases;
- slight cracking when ripe;
Despite its resistance to many pathogenic bacteria, failure to follow proper care can cause putrefactive lesions and other problems.
For example:
- increased humidity and a sharp decrease in temperature causes the development of late blight;
- Untimely weeding of the area from weeds provokes the appearance of pests.
Positive and negative properties
The characteristics are divided into positive and negative in order to make it easier for the summer resident to decide on the choice of varieties for his plot.
Pros:

The Super Klusha tomato variety is universal. It is good in all preparations and when consumed fresh. It transports well and is in high demand on sale.
How to sow seeds and grow seedlings
The Donkey Ears tomato (it is better to look at the description of the variety in advance) is usually grown in seedlings. To do this, purchased seeds are processed in a special solution and only then planted in prepared containers.
Recommended timing
Sowing of seeds is carried out 2 months before planting in the ground. More specifically, the sowing date depends on the growing region and its climatic conditions. The prepared containers and the filled substrate are spilled with a solution of potassium permanganate or boiling water.
Every other day, shallow grooves are made on the surface, where the seeds are planted with a gap of several cm between each other. Cover them with a thin layer of soil and, after moistening, place them in a warm and not too well-lit place. The optimal indoor air temperature is about + 25° C. In this case, the first shoots will appear quickly and will not outgrow. After sprouts appear, the container is moved to a cooler, sunny place.
It is better to use a mixture of:
- land from the site;
- peat;
- a small amount of humus.
To increase nutritional properties, you can add a handful of ash or a few granules of superphosphate. In case of insufficient lighting, fluorescent lamps are installed as an additional source of lighting. They should be turned on in the morning and evening, thereby extending the daylight hours.
When real leaves begin to appear on the seedlings, they are picked into large containers. There the sprouts are placed at some distance from each other so that they have room to grow. After a few days, it is recommended to feed the seedlings with complex fertilizers that stimulate rapid rooting and development.
Before tomato bushes are planted in the ground, they need to be hardened off for 10 days. This procedure involves taking the boxes outside. First, they are left in the fresh air for 20 minutes, and then the time is increased to a whole daylight hours. Another important event that needs to be carried out before planting in a permanent place is to neutralize harmful fungal spores and loosen the soil. This will not harm the roots, but will saturate them with air.
Selection of location and soil
It is better to replant shoots into the ground in the 2nd half of May. Plants must have at least 6 pairs of leaves and 1 raceme with flowers. The specific date depends on your region of residence and weather conditions. After all, you need to be sure that the threat of severe cold and night frosts has passed. The height of the bush should be 2-40 cm, and the root system should be ready to quickly take root after transplantation.
When choosing a place to plant this tomato, you need to consider the following:
- availability of good lighting;
- absence of strong winds;
- place for planting after nightshade crops.
Tomatoes are fertilized by root watering with compounds diluted with water. The variety loves moisture, so you need to make sure that the soil around the roots is not too dry. Without this, there will be no full formation of ovaries. They will fall off. For 1 sq. m, 4 plants are allowed to grow. If there are more of them, then they will not have enough sunlight, which feeds them with chlorophyll. The bushes will be lethargic and will not produce much fruit. The formation of a bush is a prerequisite for a good harvest.
Landing algorithm
Experts recommend choosing morning or evening hours for planting seedlings in the ground. It is advisable that the weather on this day be cloudy or slightly rainy. Then it will be accepted faster and begin to develop more actively. If the seedlings are too elongated, then it is better to plant such overgrown specimens in deeper holes, sloping to the south. Before this, the soil must be dug up, and a complex of fertilizers (ash, superphosphate) must be added to the holes.
Immediately before planting, the soil is spilled and the roots are covered with soil a little deeper than when diving. The top is once again watered with warm, settled water, and no activities are carried out for a whole week, waiting for the bushes to take root. The exception is the need for shelter if it is too cold at night.
Greenhouse cultivation
The Donkey Ears tomato (the description of the variety indicates the importance of proper plant care) requires careful watering when planted in a greenhouse. Excess moisture can provoke the development of late blight and other problems. Therefore, you need to do this once a week, but generously. It is best to do this in the morning so that excess moisture evaporates during the day.
You also need to mulch the soil by covering the surface with straw or hay. It is better to avoid constant waterlogging and drying out of the soil. Tomatoes react negatively to this.
Feeding
Rooted plants should be fed every 2 weeks. There are many formulations that contain the necessary microelements. These can be ready-made compositions or made with your own hands.
It is important that they contain:
- nitrogen;
- potassium;
- phosphorus.
First, after rooting, complex fertilizers are applied, then nitrogen and potassium fertilizing is done.
During the entire development period, you need to apply fertilizer at least 5 times:
Sequence of feeding | When to carry out |
1st time | 14 days after landing at a permanent place. To do this, just dissolve 1 tbsp in a bucket of water. l. humate or urea. |
2nd time | 10 days after the first time, you can feed with chicken manure, which contains a lot of nitrogen. The plant needs it at this time. For feeding, you should not use too concentrated a composition. For 1 bucket of water, 0.5 liters of product is enough. |
3rd time | During the flowering period, using ash or humate. |
4th time | The procedure is carried out after the formation of ovaries begins. It is better to use proven potash fertilizers. |
5th time | During the period of fruit ripening. Superphosphate or another composition with similar properties is suitable for this purpose. There are many effective folk recipes that can be used to feed tomatoes. But it is better not to overfeed the plants too much. Otherwise, they will begin to grow green mass and produce few fruits. |
Formation
The formation of a bush means:
- topping;
- tying;
- removing excess foliage;
- stepsoning.
The tall variety “Donkey Ears” is very demanding for such events. Their timely implementation should be monitored without missing the right time. Determinate varieties are formed from 2-3 stems. For this, the 1st stepson is left, growing under the flower brush, and the 2nd - appearing above it.
It is important to leave as many tassels as will have time to mature before the end of the season and then pinch the top of the head. This will allow the remaining fruits to grow larger and ripen faster. Otherwise, they will grow small and will not have time to ripen on the bush. If the stepsons are removed, then the stump should then be within 1 cm in height.
Treatment
Both in the greenhouse and in the open ground, tomatoes must be processed, protecting them from possible pests and diseases.
There are several ways to prevent disease, including:
- avoiding sudden temperature changes;
- proper ventilation of the greenhouse;
- preventing drafts.
To avoid thickening, cut off excess foliage. Despite the fact that this variety has some foliage on the branches, sometimes this must be done in greenhouses. It would be correct to remove those leaves that are under the brush. In order not to damage the shoots, it is not recommended to pinch off more than 2 leaves on the 1st branch. You can repeat the procedure no earlier than a week later. After the first ovaries appear, the tomato branches need to be tied to a support installed nearby. Otherwise, they will break off under the weight of ripening fruits.

Your reviews of the Yablonka Rossii tomato and additions to the description will help many gardeners evaluate this variety more objectively and decide whether it is worth planting or not.
Features of care
In the middle zone of our country, the Ox Ears variety needs film cover in the first weeks after planting in open ground.
Basic tomato care should be carried out in accordance with the following rules:
- Moderate, not too frequent watering. This should be done with warm water, at the root.
- Mandatory loosening after moistening the soil.
- Weeding as weeds grow.
- Compliance with the feeding schedule. Otherwise the fruits will be small.
This will help you grow a wonderful harvest of tasty and healthy tomatoes.
Caring for tomatoes in a greenhouse
Planting tomatoes in a permanent location is determined taking into account the climate of the region. In the middle zone, tomatoes can be planted under shelters already at the beginning of May, while in Siberia or the North-West the usual time is the beginning of June.
The beds are prepared in advance; they dig and apply fertilizers in the fall. In the spring, all that remains is to add ash, dig up the soil again and make holes. Planting scheme – no more than 4 plants per 1 sq. meter.
The Pink Furry Boar variety is a tall tomato, so you need to think about what supports to make for the plants. With the trellis method, side supports are installed in the greenhouse and wire or ropes are pulled. In other cases, stakes and cotton ribbons are prepared for tying bushes.
IMPORTANT! Do not use twine or wire with stakes, as they may cut into plant stems. After planting, seedlings are not watered for 5-7 days.
This is done for good and active growth of the root system, which will have a positive effect on plant health in the future.
After planting, the seedlings are not watered for 5-7 days. This is done for good and active growth of the root system, which will have a positive effect on plant health in the future.
Water Pink Furry Boar, like all tomatoes, carefully, generously and rarely. In a greenhouse, the schedule is set depending on weather conditions and the condition of the tomatoes themselves. In hot weather, the greenhouse is ventilated after each watering to prevent condensation on the film, glass or polycarbonate.
The water must be warm, +22Cº, and must be settled. Water that is taken for irrigation from a well or a nearby reservoir also needs to be settled and heated in barrels in the sun.
The Pink Fluffy Boar variety is highly resistant to infections, but you should not violate agricultural practices. With high humidity and failure to maintain optimal temperatures in the greenhouse, other, less resistant tomatoes may become ill, and the infection will spread to all plants
That’s why it’s important to open vents, doors, and windows in greenhouses in hot weather and ventilate them.
For feeding use:
- diluted mullein (1:10);
- diluted bird droppings (1:20, since this organic fertilizer has a higher nitrogen concentration, and without diluting with water you can simply “burn” the tomatoes);
- complex fertilizers (nitrophoska);
- potassium sulfate, superphosphate, ash, sodium humate.
A complete and balanced diet is the guarantee that the fruits will ripen faster, have a good taste, and the yield of the variety will be higher.
ON A NOTE! In the first half of the growing season, tomatoes need nitrogen fertilizers; in the second half, it is recommended to give preference to potassium and phosphorus fertilizers, which are necessary for the normal formation and growth of fruits.
Also effective techniques are spraying tomatoes with compounds containing boric acid, iodine, yeast infusions, and urea. But when applying any fertilizing, you must remember the fertilizer rate and strictly adhere to all doses.
The usual option for growing the Pink Furry Boar variety is to form it into two stems, although some gardeners even leave three stems. In order to avoid thickening of plantings, follow the planting scheme, and also use the trellis method. In this case, all tomato bushes receive the required portion of lighting, and it is much more convenient to collect fruits.
For gardeners who have a very busy work schedule and can only visit the site on weekends, we can recommend mulching tomatoes. Using mulch (cut grass, humus, peat) you can solve the problem of watering and avoid the appearance of weeds in the beds.
During the period of mass fruiting, watering and fertilizing are stopped, then the tomato pulp will be dense, juicy, and not watery. The fruits can be harvested 110-115 days after the first shoots appear, but they will still be green tomatoes. The state of technical ripeness means that the tomato has reached the required weight (about 100-120 grams), there is pubescence, but the color of its skin is still greenish. Here the gardener himself decides: to pick the fruits green so that other tomatoes have time to form on the bush, or to wait for them to fully ripen and acquire the color characteristic of the variety. But at the same time, we must remember that the fruits on subsequent clusters will grow slowly, and the overall yield will be lower.
Tomatoes of the Pink Fluffy Boar variety ripen well at home, acquiring a colorful pinkish color with “fused” yellow strokes and stripes.
Storage rules
The Donkey Ears tomato (the description of the variety indicates the optimal temperature for storing the fruit is about +8° C) is demanding in terms of storage conditions. If the bushes are touched by even a light frost, their fruits will be stored for no more than a week. To increase shelf life, tomatoes need to be carefully inspected and sorted. Only fruits without any damage or stains can last long enough.
You should make sure that when picked, the fruits have reached the period of milky ripeness. They have a specific whitish color and the required size.
Before putting the fruits in boxes and sending them to a cool pantry, basement or cellar, you need to carefully treat each tomato with a sterile napkin, onto which an alcohol solution without flavorings or additives has been applied. This will destroy harmful bacteria that remain on the fruit.
Disease prevention and pest control on tomatoes of the “Little Red Riding Hood” variety
The variety is declared to be disease-resistant, but prevention still won’t hurt, especially if the plants are in a greenhouse. The fact is that over several years, pathogenic bacteria accumulate in the greenhouse. To avoid infection of tomatoes, the top layer of soil must be removed and fresh, more fertile soil placed. In the fall, after harvesting, the walls of the greenhouses are washed well and treated with chemicals.
A good measure to prevent all kinds of diseases is crop rotation. Experienced gardeners strongly do not recommend planting tomatoes after eggplants, peppers, and potatoes.
The best predecessors for tomatoes are:
· root vegetables;
· beans;
· cabbage;
· greenery.
At the first signs of disease, spray the beds with biological preparations, for example, phytosporin.
During outbreaks of late blight, preparations with a high copper content will help. To stop the development of the disease, several treatments will be needed.
Mulching the beds and weeding will help to avoid fungal diseases. Peat, humus or straw can be used as mulch.
The most dangerous pests for tomatoes are:
· aphids;
· thrips;
· whitefly;
· spider mite.
They feed on the plant's cell sap, slowing and stopping its growth. If there is a large number of pests, they are treated with pesticides. If pests appear when there are already fruits on the bushes, then it is better to use traditional methods. Spray with infusion of celandine, onion peel or chamomile several times. Intervals between treatments are 5-7 days.
If slugs appear in a greenhouse or garden bed, the pests are collected by hand, and the soil around the bushes is sprinkled with ground red pepper and crushed eggshells.

Disease susceptibility
One of the advantages of the variety is increased resistance to diseases and pests. However, in order to completely eliminate damage to the bushes, preventive treatments of the area should be carried out periodically.
This will increase protection against:
- late blight;
- gray root spore;
- top rot.
For prevention, special disinfecting solutions are chosen. The most popular of them is Fitosporin. The protective immunity of the plant also increases when a set of required agrotechnical measures is carried out. Tomatoes also require protection when larvae of the Colorado potato beetle or aphids appear on the site. In order to get rid of them, you need to spray the bushes with preparations that kill leaf-eating insects, as well as their larvae.
Many gardeners do not like to use harsh chemical poisons on their plots. They try to protect the future harvest using folk remedies. For example, a soap solution that is sprayed on the leaves is effective against aphids. If a tomato is affected by late blight and the leaves are covered with unpleasant brownish-brown spots, and the fruits begin to rot, you cannot do without fungicides.
The most popular of them are:
- Quadris;
- Copper sulfate;
- Bordeaux mixture;
- Infinito.
In order not to spread pathogenic phytophthora spores throughout the entire site, the work area should be disinfected with equipment. The solution treats not only the plant itself, but also the soil underneath it. If the bushes are attacked by whiteflies and the leaves become covered with yellow spots, this means that these insects have spread the fungus in the area. It causes the plant to turn black and die.
To combat it, means such as:
- drugs (Confidor, Aktara);
- traps with adhesive base for adult insects;
- traditional methods of struggle (garlic infusion or wood ash solution).
Before planting in the ground, experts advise spilling the prepared soil with boiling water in which crystals of potassium permanganate are dissolved. This will destroy spores remaining in the soil from last season and not killed by frost. When fighting late blight in the summer, plants are treated with preparations containing copper.
To prevent the formation of root and apical rot, it is necessary in time:
- remove weeds;
- loosen the soil;
- use mulch;
- Periodically inspect plants for pests.
