Features of cultivation

Each variety is grown differently. Of course, a beginner may get confused, but just follow the basic rules.

When purchasing a specific type of tomato from a series, you should always look at the information on the packaging - a good manufacturer will indicate the main details. The agricultural technology of tomatoes is very similar in many respects and depends on the variety. As a rule, all tall varieties require shaping and gartering; on the contrary, low-growing tomatoes are very easy to grow

But it is important for each variety to read information about diseases and pests. The large-fruited “Cream Giant” requires a lot of watering, staking of stems and branches, and they also need fertilizers in order to produce a productive crop.

If you don’t have the time and experience, then choose varieties that don’t need to be pinched, shaped, or tied up. After planting the seedlings, simply mulch the soil, and all your efforts will be minimal.

Well, let's get acquainted with a brief description of some of the best representatives of the “Cream” series. As you understand, these are our giants and their varieties.

Bendrick's Cream tomatoes: two years later

Tomatoes Bendrick's cream

Two years ago, an article was published in a magazine, “Bendrick’s Cream is My Great Luck.” During this time, many gardeners probably tried to grow the tomato I bred and probably noticed the huge potential of its productivity. The clusters bear 25-30 fruits with a total weight of up to 2 kg. Well, in the meantime, I decided to continue my experiments; I wanted to reveal the maximum potential of this variety.

And now, two years later, I still managed to significantly increase the number of fruits in the cluster, as a result of which their total mass also increased. And note, no watering! The fact is that I changed the technology for growing this variety, namely, I abandoned regular watering. I was prompted to this by B.A. Bublik’s statement in his books “Heat and Harvest” and “Gardening in a New Way” about the unwiseness of regular watering. In his opinion, plants become dependent on watering, and the roots, instead of going deep for moisture, curl and develop in the top layer of soil. At the same time, the top layer of soil quickly dries out and becomes very overheated in the sun, which is why plants suffer from lack of moisture and overheating, and therefore do not develop to their full potential.

Bendrick's Cream tomatoes two years later

To protect tomatoes from such a fate, I decided to move away from traditional agricultural practices. Having planted the seedlings, I watered the garden and mulched the bed with mowed grass, which helps retain moisture in the soil. If necessary, you can carry out 1-2 more waterings, but as soon as the plants take root and begin to grow, watering should be stopped so that the roots reach deeper for water. I don’t know how this will affect early, low-growing varieties, but from personal experience I am convinced that this method is simply ideal for my cream. The plants have formed a deep root system capable of providing them with sufficient moisture (even during such an abnormally dry period as last summer).

I noted another advantage of the waterless method of growing tomatoes. Since the top layer of soil does not contain such a large number of roots, which happens with regular watering, after heavy autumn rains the plants are not oversaturated with moisture, and ripening fruits do not crack. Thus, there is no need to hill up the bushes and shelter them from the rain.

I want to share with you another interesting observation. Recently, due to extreme heat, sometimes the pollen is sterilized, resulting in poor fruit set. This applies to all tomatoes without exception. In this case, it is necessary to cover flowering plants with white spunbond to protect them from the scorching rays of the sun. Also, try sowing Bendrick's Cream in two different periods, 2-3 weeks apart. Then you can choose the best option and adapt to the climatic conditions of your area. Since some of the flowering plants will not be exposed to sweltering heat, you are guaranteed to be left with a harvest.

When sowing early, some plants can be left with one strong shoot - this will result in a significant increase in the yield. If the sowing is late (for me it is late April - early May), unripe fruits can be picked, ripened and served until the New Year holidays, and ripe ones can be fermented in jars under a nylon lid. To do this, add 60 g of salt to a three-liter jar of tomatoes; they will turn out moderately salty and will last a long time without peroxidizing. Also add garlic, horseradish and 5-7 oak leaves to the jar, then the tomatoes will be strong and tasty, like from an oak barrel. By the way, Bendrik's fermented Cream has an unsurpassed taste, even if it is in the same jar with other varieties of tomatoes.

Inspired by the results, I created a new variety of delicious red tomatoes weighing 500 g with increased sugar content and reduced acidity.
The variety is suitable for both fresh consumption and processing and canning. These tomatoes will be a particularly valuable find for people with medical contraindications to consuming acidic foods. I named the variety Yummy, I continue to work on it. Alexander BENDRIK, Gerodnya, Chernihiv region.

Dates for planting seedlings and planting in the ground

You need to prepare containers, soil and seeds for planting by March. If the seedlings develop normally after this, the time for transplanting to open areas comes in May. It is necessary to be guided not so much by formal deadlines, but rather by the real readiness of the plants themselves.

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

Description and characteristics of the variety

The variety is presented in several varieties: yellow and red variations. The fruits are similar in appearance (size, shape), with differences in taste and color.

What is useful to know about tomatoes:

• complex inflorescences;
• on one brush up to 20–25 tomatoes;
• medium-sized semi-spreading bushes;
• leaves are ordinary, medium-sized;
• branching and foliage are moderate.

A ripe bunch is on the bush and does not fall off until 20–22 days.

Origin of the variety

The tomato was bred in Ukraine by breeder A. Bendrik (the variety was announced in 2014), using yellow De Barao as the base. A positive difference is the increase in the number of tomatoes on the lower clusters.

Which regions are best to grow in?

The tomato comes from Chernigov (Ukraine). Adapted to the southern regions, it is actively cultivated in the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory. In temperate latitudes, cultivation is carried out under temporary films and in stationary greenhouses.

Description of fruits:

• average weight - 60–80 g;
• compacted wall (protects during transportation, ensures good long-term preservation);
• strong fleshy pulp;
• taste - balanced, with sweet and sour notes;
• there are small voids inside the fruit;
• coloring - red or yellow.

Tomatoes are used for canning due to their compact size: the fruit fits into a jar, and the skin does not crack during heat treatment. Plump tomatoes are cut and dried into slices in dryers or ovens. Juices, pastes, and purees are prepared from tomatoes.

The yellow appearance due to the low level of acids is indicated in the diet of patients with ulcers and problems of the large intestine (colitis).

Description of the tomato variety Bendrik's Cream

Bendrick's Cream tomato is not a hybrid variety, so there is no need to buy seed material every year. The plant is tall, reaches 100-150 cm, semi-spreading. Requires gartering to a support, needs regular pinching. The leaves have a regular shape and are colored juicy green. The foliage and branching of the bush is average.

Description and characteristics of Bendrik's Cream tomato, reviews, photos

Ukrainian amateur breeder Alexander Nikolaevich Bendrik developed 2 interesting varieties - Slivka red and yellow. The De Barao variety was used as the mother plant. The most important thing in these varieties is high yield. With proper care, it is quite possible to get 8 kg of fruit from 1 bush.

Plants of indeterminate type require tying to a support or trellis and pinching. The author of the variety recommends forming a bush into 1 stem. We formed in 2 and think that is also a good option. At the end of the season, the height was about 1.5 meters in the greenhouse and about 1.2 meters in open ground. The leaf of this tomato is of the usual type, the raceme is complex (up to 25 ovaries).

Basic qualities of fruits

photo author Natalya Ananyeva

Tomatoes are plum-shaped, dense, with thick walls. At maturity they are respectively red and yellow in color (depending on the variety), weighing 80-100 grams . The taste is quite decent, not bland. But still, these tomatoes are more suitable for pickling, drying, freezing than for salads. In canned food, the skin does not burst, and the tomato retains its shape well. There are few seeds in the fruits.

Advantages of Bendrick's Cream tomato

• High yield
• Unpretentiousness
• Resistance to major tomato diseases
• Good transportability and keeping quality

Flaws

The taste is a little worse than salad tomatoes.

This is a natural variety of tomato. Therefore, we recommend taking seeds from a ripe fruit and using them for planting in subsequent seasons.

Why are these tomatoes so good?

There are many varieties of these tomatoes, they are all noticeably different from each other, having common characteristics, including excellent commercial characteristics. Cream tomatoes contain little water, so the tomatoes are tight and the flesh is fleshy. All have thick skin. This allows you to store the harvested crop for a long time and transport vegetables over long distances.

Most varieties are characterized by high yields, which do not depend at all on the duration of fruit ripening. The generosity of the harvest depends only on the growing conditions and the care of the gardener.

All varieties of Slivka tomatoes have increased immunity to viruses and fungi, and these tomatoes can be grown not only in gardens or greenhouses, but even... in a room.

There are many more differences between them than similarities. The plum-shaped fruits of different varieties are bright red, yellow, pink, orange and even almost black. As for size, tomatoes grow both very tiny and quite large.

Tips for growing

The ripening period occurs 90-100 days after emergence. Winter. Ant. The seed harvest takes place approximately 2 months before planting in a permanent city. Before sowing, seeds should be treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate and a growth enhancer. The soil should be disinfected to get rid of possible pests and dangerous fungi. To do this, you can pour boiling water on it or heat it on the stove. Then the soil should be mixed with complex fertilizers. The seeds are planted at a depth of 1 cm. The container is covered with film or glass on top.

Densely sown seedlings at the 2-leaf phase are planted in separate containers. Hardening of seedlings is carried out 7-10 days before the intended planting in the ground. 3-4 seedlings are placed on one square meter. There should be a distance of 30 cm between plants, and the row spacing should not be less than 50 cm.

Features of cultivation, planting and care

We recommend sowing seeds of this tomato variety for seedlings 65-70 days before the intended planting in the ground. Seedlings dive at the stage of two true leaves. When planting seedlings in a permanent place per 1 sq. Place 3-4 plants per meter of prepared area.

Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, pinching, and preventive measures against pest damage. Alexander Nikolaevich grows this variety without watering, claiming that the roots themselves will find water at depth. He waters the plants (amply) only when planting.

Complications that may occur in women

Despite the fact that gardnerellosis is not a sexually transmitted inflammatory disease of the vagina, its consequences can be very disastrous for a woman, especially if the disease occurs during pregnancy.

The main complications that arise without adequate treatment of the disease include:

• changes in the normal microflora of the vagina;
• inflammation of the appendages and other organs of the genitourinary system;
• infertility.

If, during infection with gardnerellosis, a woman had an intrauterine device installed, she may subsequently develop endometritis, which is difficult to treat and has a very unfavorable prognosis.

It is worth noting that such serious consequences for women most often occur in cases where the vaginal infection is of a combined nature.

Gardnerellosis is more dangerous for pregnant women, since it causes inflammation of the vagina, the treatment of which during pregnancy is fraught with unpleasant consequences for the unborn baby. Most often, a woman becomes infected even before the moment of conception, and against the background of pregnancy and due to hormonal changes and a general decrease in immunity, the vaginal microflora also begins to change.

Application of fruits

"Bendrick's Cream" is a universal table variety. It allows you to solve a variety of culinary tasks:

• Eat fresh or chopped into salad. Tomatoes have an excellent presentation, have an appetizing cut and a refined aroma;
• Whole fruit canning. Compact fruits fit perfectly into the neck of the jar and do not burst during heat treatment;
• Barrel salting;
• Drying in the sun, oven or dryer;
• Processing into juice, tomato paste or lecho.

IMPORTANT: The yellow variety of “Bendrick’s Cream” has low acidity, therefore it is indicated for use by people suffering from ulcers, colitis and other gastrointestinal diseases

Growing tomatoes

The tomato is suitable for growing in open ground and greenhouses. By tying the stem to a post or trellis, it is possible to completely eliminate the risk of branches breaking off under the weight of the fruit clusters. It is advisable to choose a sunny site, protected from gusts of wind. “Slivka” should not be planted in a place vacated by other nightshade plants.

How to prepare seeds?

Before planting, seeds must be prepared for planting to improve germination, strengthen immunity and increase yield. Preparation includes the following activities:

• Selection of whole, uniformly colored seeds without signs of spoilage;
• Destruction of surface microbes by keeping seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide;
• Growth stimulation with the help of special preparations (“Epin-Extra”, “Zircon”);
• Soak in water at room temperature for 24 hours before planting.

REFERENCE: Good results are obtained by bubbling, which is soaking seeds in water using an aquarium compressor. Oxygen-saturated liquid promotes the awakening of seeds and reduces the overall ripening period by 3-7 days.

Sowing seed material

Seedlings are sown approximately 2 months before planting in a permanent location. The choice of container is not of fundamental importance - the main thing is that the container contains drainage holes. A mixture of garden turf, peat, sand and humus in an amount of at least 10% of the total mass is usually prepared as a substrate.

Seeds are sown in furrows to a depth of 1.5 cm and covered with film or glass to create a greenhouse effect (28-30*C). After pipping the sprouts, the cover is removed and the seedlings are exposed to light. The main process of seedling vegetation occurs at a temperature of 22-24*C. Picking is carried out after the formation of the second true leaf.

With the seedless growing method, sowing is carried out in early May, then by the end of August it will be possible to harvest.

Rules for planting seedlings

Transplantation should be carried out carefully, trying not to damage the sensitive root system of young plants. Under each bush, lay a nutrient cushion in the form of 200 grams of vermicompost, a handful of humus and a tablespoon of wood ash.

Recommended planting pattern:

1. Depth of planting holes -15 cm;
2. The interval between plants is 30-40 cm;
3. Row spacing is 100-120 cm.

Agricultural technology and care features

“Cream” is loved by gardeners for its abundance of fruits and versatility in use. There are many varieties, the distinctive feature of which is abundant fruiting. Suitable for growing in the ground, greenhouses, greenhouses, and at home on a windowsill. Rich in microelements, iron, fiber, vitamins.

The timing of planting seedlings in a permanent place depends on climatic conditions, the quality of the seedlings, and the planting location: open ground or greenhouse. This is usually carried out from late May to mid-June. Like all Bendrick's Cream tomatoes, they are a heat-loving crop; they prefer the sunny side of the plot, protected from the wind. They grow poorly the next year in the same place, they don’t like soil after potatoes. Preferably the place where legumes previously grew.

It is recommended to place plants quite densely, leaving 1-1.2 m between rows. The earth is raked towards the plants. For more convenient watering, a groove is made in the center of the row spacing. Watering is abundant and infrequent. It is best to water in the morning, with warm water at the root. The variety does not like rain watering. Every week, 2-3 leaves and shoots are removed. At the end of summer, two to three leaves remain. The bush is formed into one stem, cutting off all the side shoots and pinching the top after the appearance of the third brush.

Stepchildren provide no benefit to the plant; they only waste nutrients, thereby reducing the yield. Pinch until the stepsons reach 3-5 cm. It is best to do this in the morning. If the wound heals until the evening, the risk of infection is reduced. At the end of the season, to protect against excess moisture, the mulch is removed and the plants are hilled a second time. When grown in open ground during sudden cold snaps and frosts, cover with film.

During the summer, at least three feedings are carried out:

1. Five hundred grams of liquid mullein are diluted with 10 liters of water, a tablespoon of nitrophoska is added. Half a liter of solution per bush.
2. Half a liter of liquid chicken manure, a teaspoon of sulfate, a tablespoon of complex fertilizer “Signor Tomato” per 10 liters of water. Feed during the blooming of the second flower cluster, one liter per plant.
3. Apply sodium humate according to the instructions after the third brush appears.

It is necessary to pinch and pinch, provide support and garter. Does not tolerate excess moisture well. Requires treatment for diseases.
