Tomatoes with golden shades are very popular among gardeners. The original coloring of the fruits makes dishes made from fresh vegetables and winter preparations attractive. Yellow and orange tomatoes contain many vitamins and valuable microelements.
Through the efforts of breeders, many varieties and hybrids have been developed, differing in the weight and shape of the fruit, growing season and cultivation conditions. An article with photos and descriptions of the best tomatoes will help you understand the variety of varieties.
Ultra-early ripening
A significant part of Russia's territory is located in the zone of risky agriculture. Ultra-early tomatoes with a growing season of 80-95 days have time to ripen in cold summer conditions and regions with high air humidity. The varieties are distinguished by stable yields and uniform yield of fruits.
Ultra-early tomato bushes are usually low-growing, standard-type, and do not exceed a height of 50-70 cm. The fruits are medium-sized, 60-150 g, with a satisfactory taste with sourness. In the cool early summer conditions, tomatoes do not have time to accumulate a sufficient level of sugars.

Growing Orange tomatoes is not at all difficult and it is quite possible to get a rich harvest. All you need is to choose the right site for planting, pre-prepare the soil and seeds, transplant the seedlings in a timely manner and carry out proper care. By following these simple recommendations, a rich tomato yield is guaranteed.
Soil preparation
The soil for tomatoes should be prepared in the fall. To do this, carefully dig up the soil and apply the necessary fertilizers. In the spring, just before planting the seedlings, the soil is dug up again and fertilizers are applied again to speed up the growth and development of the tomato.
When choosing a site for planting this vegetable, it is better to choose those places where onions, cabbage or eggplants grew last year. Do not plant where tomatoes, as well as any nightshade crops and corn, were already growing.
The area for Orange tomatoes should be sufficiently illuminated by sunlight, have small screens to protect the plants from the wind, and low areas should be excluded. Because moisture accumulates in them, which can lead to blackleg, rot and other diseases.
To plant Orange tomato seeds, soil can be purchased ready-made or you can make it yourself. To do this, you need to mix the following components, such as peat, wood ash, sawdust and turf soil.
The prepared substrate is laid out in special boxes or plastic containers and the seeds are sown.
Note! The soil for growing Orange tomatoes should be chosen with low acidity or neutral.
