64 best varieties of tomatoes for growing in Russian regions

The Oktyabrsky district in the southwest of the Rostov region is known to historians thanks to archaeological excavations at the site of an ancient Bronze Age settlement near the Yagodinka farmstead. People who prefer active tourism know this area because of the excellent horse trails following the “footsteps” of Cossack campaigns. Fishermen simply love the Don and its right branch - the Aksai River, which flows through the region. Beach lovers flock to the sandy beaches in the Kalinin farm in summer, and those who want to eat deliciously and prefer real, honest products choose Krivyanskie tomatoes.

Features of choosing a tomato variety

Tomato varieties are divided into those that are planned to be consumed fresh, and those that are grown for long-term storage. To avoid making a mistake in your choice, follow these rules:

• Early bush or standard hybrids are suitable for open soil.
• The speed of crop ripening does not matter if the plants are planted in a well-equipped greenhouse - the height of the bushes and the nutritional characteristics of the selected species are more important.
• On the seed package you need to find the region for which this variety is suitable.
• The most unpretentious, small-fruited and determinate - they will suit those who do not have the opportunity to devote a lot of time to care.
• To prepare tomato juice, tomatoes with thin skin are used, and types with thick skin are used for preservation.
• Tomatoes with a rich taste are used for salads.

General principles of growing crops

Tomato varieties for the Volga region can be grown from seeds planted directly into the ground, or from seedlings. The second option is considered the most reliable. This way the seedlings will be able to gain enough strength to grow in an open garden bed. At the same time, the use of seedlings is the key to obtaining an early harvest. Since already grown bushes will be transplanted into the ground as soon as possible.

The period for growing seedlings is 40-70 days, depending on the early maturity of the crop.
Early varieties of tomatoes are recommended to be sown for seedlings approximately 40 days before transplanting to a permanent place of residence, medium varieties - 50 days, and late varieties - 70 days. For central Russia, the approximate period for planting vegetable crops in the ground is the second half of May (approximately after 15th). By this time, the soil should warm up to +10...+12 C to the depth of a spade bayonet. If the weather is cold outside, planting should be done in a greenhouse or under covering material. Country tips: How to properly sow tomatoes for seedlings
If there is a risk of the temperature dropping at night to 0...+1C or lower, then it is better not to plant the crop in open ground. Young bushes may not tolerate even severe return frosts.

Accordingly, the approximate timing of sowing tomatoes for seedlings in the Volga region will be:

• early varieties – from April 1;
• mid-season - from March 15;
• late - from late February - early March.
