Features of agricultural technology
To make the gardener happy with the harvest, you need to know the features of growing and caring for tomatoes.
Landing
The tomato, with the unusual name Fluffy Pink, is planted as seedlings in the garden and in the greenhouse. It is grown from seeds at home.
Variety seeds
The seed is placed in fed and pre-prepared soil in mid-March. The container with seeds is covered with thick film or cellophane. Wait until the seeds germinate.
Important! The temperature under the film should be no less than +25..+27 degrees, otherwise the seedlings will not sprout.
When three leaves appear, the seedlings are planted in separate containers.
About two months after sowing, the seedlings are ready for planting in open spaces. A week before this, young tomato bushes are hardened off.
Agricultural technology
Very little is still known about the features of the agricultural technology of Pink Fluffy. The planting density recommended by the originators of the variety is 4 tomatoes per 1 square meter. Despite its short growth, the bush needs to be tied up, otherwise, when the brushes begin to ripen, even the strongest stem will not withstand the load. To obtain a good harvest, the crop is formed into 4 stems. In care, you need to adhere to generally accepted rules, especially in a greenhouse, where it is important to maintain normal humidity. In general, agricultural technology is simple, and a small bush is easy to care for.
The Fluffy Pink hybrid has already proven itself to be excellent during trial cultivation. The unusual, one might even say decorative appearance of a bush with filled fruit clusters immediately puts you in a good mood. The main advantages of the new product are an excellent harvest and excellent immunity, which makes caring for the plant much easier and makes it possible to grow an environmentally friendly product. The taste of the early tomato did not disappoint either. And it’s not worth talking about the appearance - this is a highly marketable, very beautiful tomato. No deficiencies were identified during cultivation. One disadvantage of the variety is the inability to collect the seeds yourself. And seed material is not cheap.
Disease and pest control
Determinate hybrids have a big advantage - they are resistant to diseases and pests. They are not eaten by sucking insects, since they cannot get to the fruit due to their pubescence. They are resistant to most viruses and infections. However, there is no complete guarantee that tomatoes will not “get sick.” High immunity also will not protect vegetables from:
- lack of nitrogen - when the leaves acquire a yellowish tint with green streaks;
- lack of calcium - leaves become reddish or purple;
- lack of magnesium, etc.
Scheherazade
The medium-ripening variety was bred in Russia and is distinguished by ornamental bushes and tomatoes that resemble peaches. Recommended for cultivation in open and protected ground. Scheherazade is endowed with high immunity to diseases and pests. It is rarely affected by late blight, crown and root rot. Does not tolerate high temperatures, but is quite resistant to cold snaps.
The plant is a powerful bush of determinate type, up to 1 m high. Its shoots and large green-gray foliage are heavily pubescent.
The fruits of Scheherazade are round, cylindrical, and have an exotic appearance due to their pubescence. Although their color is orange with a reddish tint, their hairs make them appear pink. The weight of each is 200-300 g. The pulp is juicy, tender, sweetish in taste, with a rich tomato aroma. The yield of the variety is low. Only 2 kg of fruits are harvested from one bush.

Harvesting
Almost all fruits will have time to ripen within 90 - 100 days. Like regular tomatoes, fluffy tomatoes do not all ripen at once.
The fruits should be picked when they turn red or pink (depending on the variety). To the touch at this moment they are hard, elastic, but not soft. Juicy and meaty inside. The cells must be filled.
Green tomatoes remain on the bunch to ripen. If they didn’t have time to ripen in time, and it’s cold outside, they can be put in a box and left to ripen at home. According to the description of the Fluffy tomato, the shelf life of the fruit is about a month. Due to their elasticity they are highly transportable.
The description of the Fluffy tomato says that it is a hybrid. The variety is notable for the fact that there is fluff on the fruits, leaves and stems, which gives the tomatoes a velvety feel. The culture has two varieties: Fluffy Red and Pink tomatoes. The yield is high, up to 20 kg per square meter. Tomatoes are not picky about care and are resistant to diseases and weather variability. The main thing is to control the quality and quantity of fertilizing.

Important Feature
Look, the photographs show that all parts of the plants have strong pubescence. This year we conducted special tests of new hybrids - we sowed these original “fluffy” tomatoes. The effect was unexpected and very interesting. The most important thing is that these hybrids turned out to be “unpalatable” to aphids, whiteflies and mites, that is, to all sucking insects that usually significantly spoil our harvests. All parts of the plants have pubescence. Surprisingly, it is a fact: the hybrids 'Fluffy pink F1' and 'Fuzzy red F1' did not! We observed and determined that the pubescence on the stems and leaves made it very difficult for insects to penetrate the delicate plant tissues. It has become absolutely impossible to suck out the delicious juices of tomatoes! We didn’t have to “give” part of the harvest to pests; we got it all. And the delicate fluff on the fruits gave them an amazing charm. Both benefit and beauty!
