Northern baby tomatoes: variety description, photos, reviews

History of selection

The creator of the Northern Baby tomatoes is the private breeder V.I. Kozak. He is also listed in the Russian State Register of Selection Achievements as the originator. The new variety received “official recognition” in 2007, a year after the application for its registration was submitted.

The Northern Malyutka tomato has successfully passed variety trials in most Russian regions. Experts recognized it as suitable for southern subtropical, temperate (central Russia), and more severe climates. But, as the name suggests, the variety was created primarily for regions that are not very suitable for agriculture - the north and north-west of the European part of Russia, the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East.

Important! Northern baby is a tomato variety. Its seeds, extracted from independently grown fruits, are suitable for planting next spring.

Northern Malyutka seeds are produced by several agricultural companies, including Gavrish and Aelita

Background (without it, not everything is so obvious)

For two summers in a row I tried to plant tomatoes here (in Finland). From seedlings, with and without film cover; and yellow, and black, and red, and even purple - like eggplant! The result is zero or almost zero. Either late blight or the fruits didn’t even have time to grow before frost =(

Last summer I despaired and gave up! I didn’t even sow, I gave all the bags to my mother. Imagine my surprise when a tomato bush suddenly grew in the flowerbed next to the peonies... I didn’t sow the seeds, I didn’t even have them... But the bush grew... But as always, the small fruits were frozen.

It's a sign! I decided - I did it! I opened the Internet, found the most early-fruiting and frost-resistant, the most northern varieties and bought the Northern Baby from SeDek. She is very small - only 40 cm, and she will be comfortable in my small one-meter greenhouse on a warm garden bed - that’s what I thought =)

And then in the store I saw an Explosion and also from SeDek - oh, what luck, I’ll put the whole family in prison!

Description of the tomato variety Northern Malyutka

In terms of ripening time, the Northern Baby tomato belongs to the category of early ripening. It takes 80-95 days for the fruits to ripen from the moment the seeds germinate. This “scatter” of timing is easily explained by the variety of climatic conditions in Russian regions. In the south, the Northern Baby tomato can even be classified as ultra-early.

Determinate bush. This means that upon reaching the height “set” by the breeder, it stops growing. It varies between 40-55 cm depending on whether the bushes are planted in open or closed ground.

The plants are relatively spreading, “squat”, with a powerful stem. The leaves are medium sized and have a typical tomato shape. The inflorescences are simple.

Important! Tomatoes are easily removed from the bush due to the presence of joints on the stalks.

Bushes of the Northern Malyutka variety cannot be called densely leafy.

The fruits are round in shape, typical for tomatoes. The skin is a classic “tomato” red hue, glossy and shiny. Northern baby tomatoes are medium-sized, one-dimensional (45-60 g). The maximum weight of individual fruits is 80-100 g. The pulp is of medium density, “grainy” when cut. The taste is not bad, but not outstanding - sweetish, with noticeable sourness.

Each fruit has 3-5 chambers, there are very few seeds inside, they are small, often underdeveloped

And now the story itself =)

I was shaking over the seedlings as never before; I was already planting bushes with small buds in the greenhouse. With a lack of space in the greenhouse, I decided to form them into 2-3 stems, I also read it on the Internet, unfortunate gardener =)

But I don’t have any experience, and this summer was a bad one =) And all my 6 bushes, of which 2 were small and 2 were explosions, turned into fat. I only came to my senses when these animals filled the entire volume of the greenhouse and began to rush out! In the heat and abundant watering, this is no wonder!

Characteristics of tomato Northern baby

According to official data, the Northern Baby tomato is intended for cultivation in open ground. But gardeners successfully cultivate it in greenhouses and greenhouses.

Northern baby tomato yield

Northern baby tomatoes are characterized by massive fruiting. The first “wave” is approximately half of the entire harvest. Tomatoes are harvested in the first or second decade of July. You can count on about 2-3 kg per 1 m².

Temperature changes and cool summers have virtually no effect on yields

Resistance to diseases and pests

Northern baby tomatoes get sick extremely rarely. The variety has “innate” immunity to blossom end and root rot. Infection with other pathogenic microflora is not observed, even if the fungi attack bushes of other varieties located nearby in the garden bed.

Plants simply do not have time to become infected with late blight - the disease appears towards the end of summer. By this time, the entire harvest has already been harvested from the bushes of this variety and removed from the garden bed.

Methods of use

According to their intended purpose, Northern Baby tomatoes are officially recognized as salad tomatoes and suitable for whole-fruit canning. Due to their small size, they are convenient to place in jars. After heat treatment, the skin cracks in places, but the tomatoes retain their pulp density and bright color.

In general, gardeners believe that these tomatoes can be called universal. Tomatoes are suitable for any first and second courses, making homemade ketchup, tomato paste, and juices. The dense flesh allows them to be dried and frozen.

About the variety

Ultra-early ripening (80-85 days) variety for open ground (not ours) and film shelters. Standard, low-growing, spreading, height 40 cm. Does not require pinching (ha ha! I plucked everyone, however, maybe it’s my own fault). The fruits weighed 30-40 g, some were sweet, like cherry tomatoes! Some with a slight sourness. Fragrant! Productivity is 1-1.5 kg per bush. I won’t say that I had more, although this is possible, given the formation of the bush into several stems. It was painful to look at clusters of 15-20 flowers, on which 4-5 fruitlets were successfully formed.

Here it is, the brush, part of it has already been removed, only the tails remain =)

My fault, my mistake. Now I know that tomatoes are not tropical creatures, you can’t fry them in a greenhouse...

The value of the variety: cold resistance (without a doubt), early fruit formation (all have already been harvested), ripens in open ground before the appearance of late blight (again, not in our country, although maybe in our country, but in more capable hands).

In general, the conclusion: these charming Northern babies will grow up even in the north and in inept hands =) That’s why I fell in love with them!

I collected the bulk of the harvest in August; everything was ripe in just a couple of weeks! Now there is a little hanging from the already repeated flowering and the new September ovary.

This is not the whole harvest! =) This is a collection of a couple of days, here the pinker ones are ready to finish, and the brighter ones are already ready. 3 from the top left are larger, then the first Explosions, the rest are Tiny. The purpose of the variety, it is written, is universal. But I would classify it as conservation. Their skin is very dense and thick. Holds hot pour well. And their size is just right, just enough for one bite =) but not for one tooth!

I love closing small portioned jars =) Large ones are useless, dad and son don’t eat. And my daughter and I have enough portions =) This is such an autumn deliciousness =) My daughter has already stolen a couple =) It’s a pity that they haven’t been completely salted yet, they’ve only stood for a couple of weeks

Advantages and disadvantages

The steady popularity of the Northern Baby tomato among gardeners is explained by a set of its advantages:

• suitability for cultivation in almost any Russian region;
• possibility of planting in open and closed ground;
• low maintenance requirements;
• growing bushes without pinching and shaping;
• general endurance, “stress resistance”, the ability of bushes to develop and bear fruit in conditions that are far from optimal;
• the possibility of “compacted” planting (saving space in the garden bed);
• early harvest dates, “friendly” fruiting;
• good immunity, resistance to all types of rot;
• external presentability, one-dimensionality of fruits;
• good taste of tomatoes, versatility of their purpose;
• suitability of tomatoes for transportation.

The Northern baby tomato has been successfully withstanding the “competition” for almost 15 years

During the entire period of cultivation of the variety by amateur gardeners, no objective serious deficiencies could be identified. Some point out the need for “increased” feeding as a relative minus. Due to the rapid pace of development and good yield, the bushes need increased doses of fertilizers.

Sometimes the need to purchase seeds annually is noted as a disadvantage. Theoretically, you can collect them yourself, but in practice there are very few of them in Northern Baby tomatoes, most of them are underdeveloped.

Reviews

Ksenia, Moscow region

“Northern Baby” is somewhat similar to cherry tomatoes, but the tomatoes are slightly larger. Ripe tomatoes look good on the bushes, and I really liked the taste.

I grew them in beds and covered the ground with Spunbond so as not to have to pinch the weeds again.

Valeria, Omsk

I have been growing “Northern Baby” for several years now. I want to share the feeding method. I tightly pack fresh nettles into a plastic barrel, fill everything with water and let it sit. I fertilize approximately every two weeks; to do this, I scoop a liter jar of slurry from a barrel and add it to a ten-liter watering can. I water the bushes at the roots. And when fruiting begins, I water it with the addition of ash. The tomatoes have never gotten sick, and the harvest is always consistently good.

Features of cultivation

Since gardeners grow Northern Baby tomatoes mainly in the conditions of the short Ural or Siberian summer, they practice preliminary cultivation of seedlings. It is transferred to open ground when the risk of return spring frosts is minimized - in the last ten days of May or early June. Northern baby tomato seedlings can be planted in a greenhouse or greenhouse earlier - in early May.

Important! It takes about two months to grow seedlings. Therefore, seeds at home are sown at the end of March or at the beginning of April.

About a week to a week and a half before planting, the seedlings begin to harden off. This will help her quickly adapt to new living conditions. Northern baby tomatoes are taken out into the open air every day, increasing the time they spend on the street.

“Adult” seedlings suitable for transplanting to a garden bed have 5-6 true leaves and grow to 12-15 cm in height

It is advisable to choose a place for the garden bed that is well lit and warmed by the sun, although Northern Baby tomato bushes tolerate light partial shade well. Direct rays do not harm them in any way and do not affect the volume and quality of the harvest. High nutritional value of the soil is not a necessary condition; it can be “corrected” with fertilizers. But it must be loose, so that water does not stagnate in the soil, and air flows freely to the roots, and with a neutral acid-base balance.

Excessive “crowding” in the garden bed negatively affects the development of tomato bushes

About a week before planting, the bed is dug up, at the same time approximately 3-5 liters of humus and 20-30 g of complex nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizer are added per 1 m². Fertilizers need to be incorporated into the soil.

Important! Northern baby tomatoes are planted in a bed according to a 50x50 or 40x60 cm pattern. 3-4 bushes are placed per 1 m². The depth of the hole is 12-15 cm.

The most important agrotechnical measure for Northern Baby tomatoes is watering. In the first week after transplantation, the soil is not moistened. It is enough that the holes and seedlings in the containers in front of it are generously spilled with water.

Tomatoes are watered in any way that prevents drops from getting on the leaves and fruits.

This variety tolerates short-term “drought” better than regular waterlogging of the soil. On average, bushes need weekly watering (5-7 liters per plant). But the intervals are constantly changing - this is influenced by the air temperature outside, the frequency and intensity of precipitation.

It is best to water Northern Baby tomatoes in the evenings. The water should be relatively warm (22-25 °C) and soft. The tap water will have to be pre-settled.

Northern Malyutka tomatoes are fed three times:

• 2.5-3 weeks after transplanting the seedlings to the garden bed;
• when the second fruit cluster blooms;
• when forming the third.

Plants respond well to natural organic matter. But it is still advisable to use complex store-bought fertilizers designed specifically for tomatoes or Solanaceae.

Folk remedies cannot always provide Northern Malyutka tomatoes with the required macro- and microelements in the required volumes

Northern Baby tomato bushes do not need special formation and removal of stepsons. Their stem is quite powerful, but it is still recommended to tie up the fruit clusters as they ripen so that they do not break off.

Important! A very useful agrotechnical measure is mulching. It will allow the gardener to save time on loosening and weeding.

Characteristics and features of the variety

Northern Rumyantz bushes are limited in growth. They are crowned with a flower cluster, so the top is not removed, as in some varieties. When the weather changes towards lower temperatures, the plant shows resistance

In the north, this is especially important not only during growth, but also during the ripening period of the crop.

The plant parameters are as follows:

• The culture has erect shoots, height – up to 0.9 m;
• The greens have a delicate emerald color, the usual size, like all tomatoes;
• Poorly leafy plant;
• The shoots are resistant to major diseases;
• Inflorescences of simple flowers, up to 7 racemes;
• The fruits have a round shape. There is almost no ribbing;
• Pleasant taste;
• The color is bright red, when unripe it is light green;
• Weight of tomatoes – up to 120 g;
• Quite dense and smooth peel.

The harvest ripens 100 days after the first leaves form on the seedlings. Ripe tomatoes tolerate transportation over medium, but not long, distances. They are good both fresh, for salad, and for pickling, and are also suitable for making juice. Productivity per 1 sq. meters - up to 6.5 kg (but sometimes 8 kg), friendly maturation. In addition to the northern latitudes, Rumyants is successfully cultivated in the latitudes of Moscow, the Urals, the Far East, and Siberia.

Tomatoes in a greenhouse

Important! By following the rules of seed germination, you can achieve 100% germination. Sowing is carried out in the 2nd or 3rd decade of March

The soil should be moistened and warmed to 20 degrees C. The bush is picked when the second true leaf develops. After the frosts are completely over, 3 bushes are planted per 1 meter in open ground.

When grown, the bush should have no more than 3 stems, which contributes to maximum yield and full ripening. The second stem is removed from under the first inflorescence. Water once a week or 5 days. There is no need to remove excess leaves. The shoots are fixed on supports and trellises. Tomatoes may fall under the weight of the crop.

It’s easier to fix in a greenhouse, but the devices can also be used in the garden bed. You need two supports and ropes (but not fishing line or wire cutting into the stem). There are several methods. For example, the plant is attached to a wire frame, which is advisable for this variety with a large yield. Trellis are also used - ropes stretched between 2 supports with an interval of 0.3 meters.

The usual agricultural technology for tomatoes is used. Timely soil moisture, hilling, and fertilizing with complex fertilizers according to the schedule specified by the manufacturer during the ripening period are required.

Feeding tomatoes

Important! Northern Blush is resistant to late blight. For other varieties this is a very dangerous disease.

If affected, a significant portion of the crop may be lost. It simply ripens before the critical period. Late blight can be transmitted by seeds (cyclic lesions). The variety can also resist other diseases, which makes it recommended for beginning gardeners.

Pest and disease control

The immunity of Northern Baby tomatoes is very good. The experience of gardeners shows that there is no fungal disease that is the “scourge” of the variety. To prevent infection by pathogenic microflora, in most cases, the absence of gross errors in agricultural technology and compliance with the planting scheme is sufficient.

Some gardeners, to be on the safe side, practice treating seeds before planting seedlings in a solution of any fungicide. It is recommended to spray Northern Baby tomato bushes with the same preparations and the soil in the garden bed if the weather outside for a long time is favorable for the development of many pathogens (damp and not hot). Treatments are repeated every 1.5-2 weeks.

Copper-containing preparations are harmful to pathogenic fungi

Important! The ripening period for Northern Baby tomatoes is very short, so after the formation of the first fruit ovaries, only biofungicides can be used.

Harvest Application

It is best to eat tomatoes fresh, enjoying their taste and aroma. But part of the harvest should definitely be preserved for the winter, in order to later be used as an appetizer or a tasty addition to main courses. “Northern Baby” is preserved whole, in bottles, barrels, jars and bags. Tomatoes are marinated with:

• leaves of oak, horseradish, corn, currants, laurel;
• mustard and garlic;
• muscat grapes, chili pepper;
• cloves and onions;
• sweet pepper and cabbage;
• dill, bird cherry, basil, parsley, cilantro;
• carrots and apples, etc.

“Northern Baby” tomatoes will decorate the table and give gastronomic pleasure both in the hot summer and in the cold winter.

Tomatoes for protected soil

When choosing productive seeds, we especially recommend paying attention to the well-proven Benito hybrid. It was bred by breeders of the Bejo Zaden company and has a medium-early ripening period.

Tomatoes are creamy, dense, tasty, weighing 50-100 grams. It is recommended to leave the fruits to ripen on the bush, then they have a richer taste. Used for all types of preservation, suitable for marinades and pickling.

From one square meter of low-growing plants, you can harvest up to 22-25 kg of tomatoes.

Grouse

Indeed, the color of the fruits of this tomato is pockmarked, with numerous yellow strokes and stripes on a red background.

The variety has a medium ripening period, is low-growing (60 cm), and is unpretentious. Usually only the lower stepsons of a bush are removed; gartering is needed during the harvest period.

The tomatoes are very sweet, weighing 250-300 grams, round in shape. Thanks to their thick skin, they are not prone to cracking.

El Dorado

This variety has bright, lemon-yellow fruits and a very good taste.

The ripening period is 110-115 days, the bushes are powerful, about 80-90 cm high. Partial pinching of a low-growing bush is recommended; installation of supports and garter is required to support branches with ripening tomatoes.

About 5 racemes appear on each plant. The fruits are large, heart-shaped, weighing 350-400 grams. Purpose: salad.

Ob domes F1

An interesting variety with fruits that resemble persimmons in appearance. The bush reaches a height of no more than 50 cm; it is better to grow such a tomato in a shelter.

Tomatoes are dense and have a pronounced tomato taste. Fruit weight is 70-100 grams. Tomatoes are intended for processing, preservation, and fresh consumption.

Northern tomatoes

This year our summer was rainy and cold. But for tomatoes to grow around the clock, the night temperature must not be lower than +18°C (which happens very rarely!). That is why southern varieties of tomatoes cannot be grown in our region. We need very early, high-yielding and unpretentious varieties with a friendly yield. These are the tomatoes I grow on my plot. In fact, only such varieties become a lucky find for those gardeners who want to receive ripe tomato fruits as early as July. I will describe the most promising tomato varieties that I tested on my plot. These varieties can be grown both in open ground and under film. If you grow them in a small greenhouse under a film cover, you can get an earlier harvest. The Low-growing super-early variety is a tomato with an extremely early ripening period (the fruits ripen from July), with a friendly yield, and does not ripen. The plant is short, no more than 50-60 cm high. Mature fruits are red, weighing up to 100 g. The photo shows tomatoes of this variety grown in a film greenhouse. Variety Low-growing early-1. The plant is 70-80 cm high, does not spread. The fruits are red, weighing up to 100 g, yield up to 5 kg per bush. Another very early variety is Dana. This is also a low (up to 1 m) plant and does not climb. Tomatoes ripen well both under film and in open ground. The fruits weigh up to 100 g, are very tasty, suitable for both processing and fresh consumption. Low-growing large-fruited is one of the large-fruited varieties that grows in my garden. The plant is about 1 m high and does not spread. The fruits are red, weighing up to 500 g. As is known, a high yield of any vegetables can be obtained only from high-quality seeds and by maintaining competent agricultural technology during the entire growing season of the plants. Therefore, I want to share the secrets of my many years of experience. First of all, I came to the conclusion: in order to have full-fledged tomato seedlings, you need to sow twice as many seeds as you need. You will not put all the seedlings in a row into separate cups, but only well-developed plants. Only such seedlings can produce high yields in the future. Crop rotation must be observed on the site. Tomatoes cannot be grown in one place for more than three years in a row, otherwise the plants will get sick due to infection accumulated in the soil. Our soils are poor in nutrients. To obtain high yields, it is necessary to apply organic and mineral fertilizers. Every spring, when digging up a plot for tomatoes, it is advisable to add 1 square meter. m 10-15 kg of humus (rotted horse or cow manure) and a liter jar of ash obtained from deciduous trees. When planting tomatoes directly into the hole, also add a matchbox of sifted ash, having previously mixed it with the soil. Over the summer, I do three root fertilizing with “Sudarushka”, three foliar fertilizing with “Ideal” and foliar fertilizing with boron-magnesium microelements. The varieties I grow are quite resistant to late blight, but still, at the first signs of the disease, it is necessary to immediately spray the plants. I prefer to treat tomatoes in a film greenhouse and in open ground three times a season with Hom or Oksikhom. Plants should be treated against late blight only in dry weather. It is advisable that there should be no rain for at least a day so that the drug can “fix” itself. Spraying requires a fine spray. All leaves, fruits and ovaries must be covered with a protective film, otherwise there is no guarantee that late blight will not develop. If you use a broom instead of a sprayer, there will be no excellent effect. Now a few words about the greenhouse where you are going to grow tomatoes. It must be constantly ventilated. During flowering of tomatoes, the temperature should not exceed +26 ° C, since at higher temperatures the pollen of the plants becomes sterile, therefore, pollination will not occur. But if all pollination is poor, the plants need to be treated with the Ovary preparation.

I hope that if you apply my technology on your plots when growing the named varieties of tomatoes, you will definitely have a harvest and get well-ripened, as they say, “standing” tomatoes. If you want to have your own seeds, then grow all varieties separately from each other, this is the only way to maintain purity.

Productive early and mid-early crops

Some regions of Russia cannot please you with a warm climate. In cold conditions, it is not recommended to grow tomatoes in open ground. A greenhouse or greenhouse is better suited for this purpose.



Experienced gardeners use another proven trick. They grow early ripening tomatoes. Thus, from the moment of planting the seeds to the harvesting of the fruits, 3 months pass.

Description of the plant and fruits

Among the advantages of “Northern Baby” it is worth noting the following:

• unpretentiousness and minimal care. The plants do not need to be pinched or the stems formed artificially. A garter is required only during the period when the tomato clusters are being filled, so that the stem does not break under the weight of the fruit. The optimal choice for gardeners who come to the garden on weekends;
• saving space in garden beds. Most tomato varieties do not tolerate crowding and suffer from lack of light. And “Northern Baby” can be planted according to a 50x40 cm scheme; strong compact bushes do not require more space. This quality is relevant for owners of small plots of land;
• the possibility of long-term storage of tomatoes without losing their taste. The skin is thick enough not to crack. The variety is suitable for cultivation and sale for commercial purposes.

Seeds of this variety are easy to find in any garden store. The production of “Northern Baby” seeds is carried out by “AELITA”, “Plasma Seeds”, “Gavrish”, etc.

On a note! “Northern Baby” tomato seeds can be collected from ripe fruits yourself for growing next season.

You should not buy tomato seeds in the markets. Untested seed can ruin all growing efforts. In the store, be sure to monitor the expiration dates of seeds and require appropriate certificates for products.

Popular tomatoes for open ground

In open areas, experienced gardeners prefer to plant determinate, low-growing species. After all, such standard plants need much less attention. There is no need to pinpoint them; they all ripen at the same time and are removed from the bush together. The growing season is so short that late blight does not have time to manifest itself.

Sanka

A favorite variety in all regions of Siberia. Vegetables ripen very quickly, within 70 – 80 days. The height of asthenia is 50 – 60 cm. Sanka can adapt to the lack of light. Has immunity to most diseases. The yield is satisfactory, the weight of one tomato is up to 100 g. It is a non-hybrid species, which means you can collect seeds for the next season.

Countryman

The variety is “for the lazy”, absolutely undemanding to care. It is possible to grow without seedlings. Short ripening period (average 100 days). According to descriptions from gardeners, Countryman has a strong immunity to diseases. Good yield (up to 4 kg per bush). The fruits are medium-sized (70–90 g), plum-shaped, and there can be up to 15 of them in one cluster.

Far North

Record holder for yield among standard crops. The first ripe tomatoes are picked just 90 days after emergence. Immune to root and crown rot and late blight. Resistant to worsening weather conditions (lower temperatures, prolonged rains, predominance of cloudy days). The yield of 1 bush is up to 2 kg.

Bull's heart

A large-fruited variety, the tomatoes are heart-shaped. Average duration of ripening (up to 130 days). Height up to 160 cm, pinning and garter required. Productivity from 1 bush is up to 5 kg. One specimen can weigh up to 500 g. It is possible to collect seeds for the next season.

Buyan yellow

Resistant to low temperatures. The plants are small, up to 50 cm high. The pulp is dense, the weight of the tomato is 80 - 120 g, it retains its integrity when pickling and canning, since the skin is very strong.

Demidov

Received by Siberian breeders, well adapted to the local climate. Height – up to 65 cm. Productivity is consistently high. Pink tomatoes, up to 110 g each, have a rich sweet and sour taste. They require regular dosed watering; overwatering can cause cracking of vegetables.

How to care

Reviews from gardeners about this tomato are mostly positive. The variety is very unpretentious, in the sense that tomatoes rarely get sick and are not attacked by insect pests. But, of course, it is necessary to care for a large-fruited tomato, otherwise the gardener will not see beautiful and large fruits.

In order for tomatoes to grow as in the photo, they need special care:

1. Although the bush is determinant, it must be formed. It is recommended to grow the pride of Siberia in one or two stems, otherwise the fruits will be significantly smaller, and their quantity will noticeably suffer. Therefore, the gardener must pinch all other shoots until they grow more than three centimeters.
2. It is constantly necessary to monitor the condition of the bushes and tie up fragile shoots, fruit clusters, and stems.
3. Pride needs to be watered often and abundantly - this tomato loves water very much. Water for irrigation must be warm. It is better to irrigate tomato beds in Siberia in the morning, before the sun's rays become scorching.
4. Feeding is required. In the greenhouse, rotted manure or mullein and bird droppings dissolved in water are used. Mineral complexes help a lot. During the fruit formation stage, it is recommended to feed the tomatoes with potassium and phosphorus, this will improve the quality and taste of the tomatoes.
5. To prevent rot and late blight, the greenhouse is regularly ventilated. Over-humidified air and condensation on the walls of the greenhouse should not be allowed.
6. If the fruits begin to crack, you need to stop watering and feed the tomato bushes with saltpeter.
7. In greenhouses, the common whitefly becomes a frequent enemy of tomatoes, so prevention should be carried out using chemicals against this pest (for example, Confidor).
8. The ripening period of the Pride of Siberia variety is very early, so the fruits are picked ripe when they turn red and become soft. Store the harvest in a dry and cool place, placing the tomatoes in wooden or clean plastic boxes.

Attention! In open ground, the Siberian variety may suffer from wireworm attacks, so it is not recommended to plant tomatoes next to potatoes
