Features of cultivation and care
The term for landing is 2 months until the moment of landing in greenhouse conditions. Take care of the condition of the soil - in it should be in balance such elements: potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen, as well as ash, humus and compost. If a river is located near your summer cottage, feel free to add river sand to the soil. All these components have a positive effect on taste, productivity and make the development of the root system complete.
Sowing seeds for seedlings is better in the first week of March. Dive in the presence of 2 sheets in a container with a volume of 200 - 300 g. If universal soil was used during planting, then you can not additionally feed.
When the tomato has mastered the earthen lump, it will become necessary to transfer it to a deeper container, since this type of tomato needs a developed, deep root system. If the seedlings are very long, it is advisable to transplant it lying down, so the nutrition area will increase significantly.
In order to avoid damage to the trunk, it is better to tie up bushes and form them into 2 - 3 shoots. At the same time, thin out them, not allowing thickening of landings. For 1 square. m place no more than 4 plants.
Tomato loves heat and does not tolerate frost. In the center and in the west of Russia, it is better not to grow it on open ground. For open ground, more suitable areas of our homeland are southern.
To make tomatoes delight your eyes, do not forget about maintaining moisture. Especially when there is a process of active flowering and the beginning of fruit pouring. Feed and loosen in a timely manner to maintain oxygen access to the roots, as well as remove weeds.
Reviews
Arina: The taste, indeed, turned out to be on top. For normal development, she took the following measures: she sprayed with calcium nitrate, introduced humus, ash and horse manure with a small amount of chicken droppings into the soil. Tomatoes ripened, larger ones were 300 g below, and 100 g above. They planted in the place where cucumbers previously grew. Our family liked it.
Stephanie: I grow in a greenhouse, regularly ventilate it, maintain stable heat. I shake the bushes for pollination and spray water from the spray gun. Before planting, I sprayed with boric acid with the calculation: 1 tsp per bucket. From this tomato I make pasta for the winter. And children prefer to eat it fresh.
