The characteristic features of growing tomato in the garden
- Seeds are sown for seedlings in late winter, early spring (February, March). The soil is fertilized and loosened in advance. To saturate ordinary soil with nutrients, peat, rotted sawdust is introduced into it. For a square meter of a greenhouse, you need a bucket of peat and sawdust. This substrate must be mixed with the topsoil.
To avoid plant diseases, the earth can be disinfected with potassium permanganate or a special antifungal drug, for example, Fitosporin. Such protection against bacteria will allow young plants to grow strong and resistant.
- Before sowing, the seed material must be soaked in a growth stimulator to increase: seed germination, resistance of immature shoots to diseases. If there is no growth stimulant, then the seeds are soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate (solution preparation: 1 gram. Potassium permanganate is diluted in 100 ml of water). Dip the seeds for 25 minutes, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Another popular recipe for disinfection is soaking seeds in a garlic solution. For this you need 100 ml. water, place 25 grams of mashed garlic in the pulp, then soak the planting material for 1 hour, rinse with clean water and dry.
- Seeds are planted to a depth of 1-2 centimeters. Thicken seedlings is not worth it, so that it does not stretch and was not weak.
- Watering seedlings is done with warm water.
- It is recommended to plant 3-5 plants per 1 m². Plants must be hardened before planting. Tomatoes strengthen 10-15 days before the expected day of planting in open soil. In the daytime, the greenhouse begins to air for several hours, increasing the airing time every day.
Important! 1. It is impossible to sharply reduce the temperature, you can destroy the plant.
- It is impossible to start hardening tomatoes very early, since you can suspend normal growth, you can no longer get a good crop.
Wells on an open bed are abundantly watered and brought in on a tablespoon of Nitrofoski. One sprout is planted per hole, so that the root system is completely covered with soil.
- Fertilize should be moderate. The first top dressing is carried out in the third week after transplanting seedlings in open ground. It is necessary to dilute 20-30 grams of “Nitrofoski” in 10 liters of water per square meter of plantings, with this solution all plants are uniformly watered under the root.
Then look at the state of the plant. It is impossible to prevent the fatliquoring of the tomato, this is when the green mass begins to grow excessively, which ultimately has a detrimental effect on the fruit setting process. If the stems are thick, the leaves are dark green, then the plant has enough nutrients.
- The condition of the plant is reflected on the leaves. Yellowed and dry leaves may indicate a disease or lack of some trace elements.
- Adult plants are watered under the root. Avoiding water on the leaves will reduce the likelihood of diseases.
- In open soil, the plant is attacked by the Colorado potato beetle, aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars. To protect the tomato, you can use the broad-spectrum insecticide "Actara".
Reviews of gardeners
Varvara Alekseevna, 35 years old.
I get great pleasure from planting tomatoes. Tomato "Minion of Fate" did not disappoint. Tomatics grew large, full brushes tied. From the bush it was possible to collect on average two kilograms of fruit. Tasty tomatoes, juicy. She used tomato for processing into tomato juice, since children are very fond of drinking it in the winter.

I have been growing vegetables all my life. My work is directly related to the garden. I live in a village, but in the city I work as a consultant in a seed shop. Over the years, I tried many different breeding novelties. Last year, it was the turn of the Minion of Fate. Planted seeds from the Siberian Garden trademark. Seed germination is excellent. The fruits tied up and ripened together. Pleased with the delicate taste of tomato. A pleasant sweet aftertaste for a long time reminds you of a bitten tomato. I rate the variety excellent.
