Reviews from gardeners: the best varieties for open ground for 2022

Considering the climatic conditions of our country, it is difficult to grow such a heat-loving crop as a tomato in open ground. It is much easier to do this using a greenhouse. However, if it is occupied by another crop or is simply absent, then, subject to certain conditions, it is possible to grow tomatoes in open ground.

According to existing opinion, they will be even more useful than greenhouse ones.

The main thing is to choose the right type of tomatoes so that it is desirable:

early ripening - early (ultra, - super early) varieties will allow you to grow a crop in a relatively short warm season, avoiding possible late spring or early autumn frosts;
short, or at least medium-sized - to better withstand wind loads in open space, even with relatively weak support.

Let's try to determine which early-ripening and low-growing tomatoes are most often reviewed well on forums and on social networks, and which varieties are recognized as the sweetest and (or) delicious.

The sweetest varieties

Varieties of varieties

Breeders divide all varieties of tomatoes into two categories, which include:

Determinate varieties – are varieties that grow in somewhat limited characteristics. So, a tomato bush grows to a certain brush and stops growing altogether. The result is a low-growing bush, but excellent for planting in a greenhouse.
Indeterminate varieties - grow as long as the weather is favorable with its temperature indicators. They are grown in most cases in a greenhouse or in the center of a large greenhouse. These varieties are more resistant to weather conditions and therefore make up a larger proportion of the tomatoes planted.

Surprisingly, among the indeterminate varieties, the most popular and sought-after seeds are “Budenovka” . This variety is good for all its main characteristics: up to one and a half meters high, the first harvest 100 days after seed germination, the ability to grow both in a greenhouse and in open ground.

This variety also does not require any additional care and is perfect for beginner gardeners. From one bush you can harvest at least 4-5 kg, and if you create favorable climatic conditions - all 7 kg.
