Cultivation and care
The variety "Uluru Ohra" can be grown in seedlings and without seedlings. But planting seeds directly on the beds is possible only in the south of the country. In areas with unstable climate, it is recommended to grow plants in greenhouse conditions. Seeds are sown for seedlings usually in mid-February, given the estimated date of planting in a permanent place. If the manufacturer has not worried about seed processing, this must be done independently. Seedlings are demanding on the soil, it should be light, loose and fertile.
It is also necessary to create comfortable conditions for seedlings, the optimum temperature during the day is 18-22 degrees, at night 16-18. You also need to make sure that the plants have enough light, in the evening they are illuminated with a lamp, the daylight for seedlings should be at least 16 hours. Watering is needed regularly every 5-7 days, but moderate. In the phase of the formation of the third leaf, seedlings dive into separate containers. For normal growth and development of seedlings, a week after diving, fertilizing is introduced, complex mineral fertilizers are perfect.
Before planting in the soil, hardening is carried out for 7-10 days, for this, young seedlings are taken out onto the street or balcony for 30 minutes, every day the time of “walk” is increased.
Transfer
For transplantation, it is necessary to pre-select a sunny area, where cabbage, carrots or greens grew last season. In no case should tomatoes be planted in the place where solanaceous crops grew before. Despite the fact that the stems of the plant are powerful, a garter is still required, since the variety is distinguished by large fruits and high productivity. At a time when the bushes are actively growing, they are formed in 2-3 stems.
The Uluru Okhra variety loves moisture, but its overabundance can cause fungal diseases, therefore it is not worth transfusing tomatoes. The lower leaves on the bushes are advised to be removed to provide good ventilation. Do not forget about loosening the soil, this procedure has a beneficial effect on the development of young plants. When weed appears, it is removed.
Fertilizing is carried out at least 3-4 times during the growing season, tomatoes respond equally well to both mineral and organic fertilizers. The first time is usually fertilized with nitrogen-containing top dressing, do it 14 days after transplantation. Then experienced gardeners are advised to use a solution of mullein or bird droppings. The third time, tomatoes can be fed with complex mineral fertilizers.

I planted the Tomato “Uluru Ocher” in the greenhouse, the bush grew 150 centimeters, spread out, and for some reason I thought it would be compact, I had to form 3 stems. In general, I was satisfied with the variety, the yield is quite high at 2.5 kg per bush, the tomatoes are very tasty, they were eaten fresh, there was not even any left for preservation. Next season I plan to plant more bushes.

The variety is amazing. The height of the bush in the greenhouse is 1.2 m. The leaf is thick and dense. Requires garter though the trunk is quite powerful. In 2018, 1 bush produced 4.874 kg. Half of the technical maturity was removed on 10/28/2018. The taste of tomatoes is gorgeous, a lot of pulp but also not without juice. The number of seeds is average. Drive it into one trunk does not work, he sets the pace. The sooner you remove the first wave of the crop, the faster the second will tie. I didn’t get sick.
