Many gardeners try to grow hybrids on their plots, for example, the Vologda tomato. They differ from conventional varieties in their high yield and greater resistance to many diseases. They are obtained as a result of artificial crossing of two varieties.
Typically, packages of hybrid seeds are marked with the F1 symbol. The only thing that is impractical for them is to collect seeds and sow them the next year, since all the maternal qualities of the plant will be lost.
You will have to purchase new seeds every year from specialized stores. Among the hybrids, the tomato variety Vologda F1 enjoys attention.

The size of the harvest depends on the condition of the soil, weather conditions, plant characteristics, watering, etc. High-yielding tomato varieties are those plants from which at least 3 kg of marketable fruits are obtained. But it is necessary to take into account the size of the bush and the weight of the fruit.

Best reviews from our readers
This variety was grown several years ago. Maybe we came across bad seeds, but we didn’t keep them for ourselves. I didn’t like either the seedlings or the fruits. Sourish, not productive. Although, the variety is very popular and should be good in theory.
I planted the seeds in early March. The seedlings were strong and good. At the beginning of May they were planted in a greenhouse. The bushes are tall and branched. It is written on the packaging that they do not require pinching. But I think it’s necessary to stepchild. Otherwise, these huge thick branches will take all the juices from the fruits. Yes, tomatoes are early ripening. Already in early July they began to bear fruit. But they don’t taste very good; they seemed tasteless to me and had a cottony consistency. Next year I won’t plant these.
Breeding Features
Vologda tomatoes are grown in seedlings. The seeds are sown at the end of February. It is advisable to first soak them in water and treat them in a solution of potassium permanganate. Then sow in ready-made moist soil for tomatoes and peppers, purchased at the store. Cover the soil with film and place in a warm place.
In about a week the seeds will sprout. When the first true leaves grow, it is recommended to pick. To do this, it is advisable to choose disposable cups. To extend daylight hours, it is recommended to illuminate the seedlings with a fluorescent lamp. When the plants are 55–60 days old, they must be transplanted into a permanent place in the greenhouse, following a 40x60 cm pattern.
A prerequisite for care is loosening the soil, especially after watering the plants. To increase the yield of tomatoes, it is recommended to loosen and slightly lift the soil up to the first leaves so that an additional root system begins to form.
In the middle zone, tomato seedlings are planted in early May. After some time, the plants need to be tied to a support and fertilized 2 times a month. In the future, they try to form the plant so that there is one stem; when the maximum height is reached, the top is pinched.
