This is a natural variety of tomato. Therefore, we recommend taking seeds from a ripe fruit and using them for planting in subsequent seasons.

Growing tomatoes

Tomatoes are grown in seedlings. Work can begin as early as March. Before planting, the seeds must be prepared. To do this, they need to be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate. Then the planting material should be dipped in a growth stimulator. A drug such as Epin has proven itself well.

As soon as the seeds are ready, you can start sowing them. Seeds can be planted in the soil to a depth of 2 cm. The crops must be watered and removed in a bright place. It is important to maintain the temperature within 25 degrees.

Landing

Before sowing, it is necessary to prepare the seeds. To do this, they are soaked in a solution prepared from 1 g of potassium permanganate and 1 liter of water for at least 10-15 minutes. During this time, empty seeds will float to the top, and good ones will settle to the bottom.

Growing seedlings

Prepared seeds are sown in containers, pots or plastic cups. The soil for them can be purchased at the store or prepared yourself. In the second case, you will need to mix the same amount:

• garden soil;
• humus;
• wood ash;
• sand.

The seeds are placed at a depth of 1 cm and sprinkled with peat. The soil is moistened using a spray bottle. After this, the containers should be covered with polyethylene and placed in a warm, dark place. After the sprouts appear, the polyethylene is removed and the containers are placed on the windowsill. Exposure to sunlight will have a beneficial effect on the growth of seedlings.

General information, description

The Kalinka-Malinka tomato is the work of breeders of the Novosibirsk agricultural company Siberian Garden. In 2007, the variety was approved by the State Register of the Russian Federation for cultivation in all agricultural regions of the country. The originator recommended the tomato for planting in open ground. In practice, summer residents successfully cultivate it in stationary greenhouses, high or low greenhouses, containers on loggias or balconies.

Gait - the main types of horse running

The variety got its name thanks to its medium-sized fruits. Inside they are tender, sugary, not too dense. The taste is excellent. Tomatoes are tied in tassels of 4-6 pieces.

The bush itself is also low, standard. In rare cases it grows up to 70 cm, usually lower. The leaf is dark and medium in size. Due to its compactness and small fruit, one tomato bush produces a relatively small harvest per season. But the plant does not reduce productivity in case of unfavorable weather or poor quality care.

Attention! Gardeners have dubbed the tomato a variety for the lazy.

Description of the Raspberry Miracle seed set

Tomatoes from the “Raspberry Miracle” series differ from other varieties of tomatoes in color. It is not red or pale pink, but bright crimson. Summer residents like these varieties because of their tender, juicy and sweet pulp. The scientific and production association "Gardens of Russia", which was previously called "Garden and Vegetable Garden", has been breeding the best varieties of raspberry tomatoes for 12 years. As a result, they created 3 series of plants called “Crimson Miracle”. Each set includes 5 varieties of tomatoes:

• 1 series: Raspberry Sunset, Raspberry Berry, Bright Robin, Raspberry Paradise, Raspberry Wine (the series was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements in 2015);
• Episode 2: Raspberry Joy, Raspberry Bison, Raspberry Dream, Raspberry King, Raspberry Desirable (the series was added to the register in 2017);
• Series 3: Raspberry Popsicle, Raspberry Heart, Raspberry Bunny, Raspberry Bogatyr, Raspberry Surprise (these varieties were also registered in 2022).

All varieties of this series have good immunity to late blight and other fungal diseases that are characteristic of tomatoes.

The packages of seeds from the “Raspberry Miracle” tomato series indicate that they are F1 hybrids. But in the State Register there is no note that these plants are hybrids. From this we can assume that these tomatoes are separate varieties that have all the advantages of hybrid plants: disease resistance, high yield and germination.

All tomatoes in this series are intended for cultivation in all regions of the country in open ground (if climatic conditions allow) or in greenhouse conditions. These varieties are mainly used for fresh consumption as a salad crop. Some varieties can also be used in canning and making juices.

The tomato varieties from the “Raspberry Miracle” kit require shaping and staking. These are determinate plants (that is, limited in growth). But their height can vary from 0.6 m to 2 m. The yield of bushes is also different, depending on the plant variety.

Raspberry miracle tomato seeds are sold in sets of 5 varieties
