• Clear the greenhouse area from plant residues.
• The walls, the frame of the greenhouse, all the utility inventory to disinfect with a solution of household soap.

The tomato of this variety comes into fruiting, usually somewhat later than most of its fellows, but its positive qualities should be noted:

• High yield.
• Stretched fruiting period.

• The possibility of long-term storage of fruits.

Tomato "Good f1", judging by the reviews and photos of plants that are offered by those who planted it in the greenhouse, can bear fruit for a long time, and the shelf life of ripe fruit reaches 30 days.

Unfortunately, late fruiting in the absence of the greenhouse is a disadvantage, since the tomato does not have time to produce a full crop in the open field.

The disadvantages of some gardeners also include the need to spend time on the straw and the formation of plants in the greenhouse.

Features of growing

To get a bountiful harvest of tomatoes "Good f1", seedlings are better to grow yourself, subject to the following rules.

To conduct pre-sowing seed treatment:

• For disinfection use a solution of potassium perfmanganate, the exposure time - 20 minutes, then washed.
• To improve germination, they are soaked in growth stimulants, such as Appin, Zircon for 6 hours.

The soil for seedlings of tomatoes is prepared light and loose, from a mixture of garden soil, compost and ash. In case the soil in the garden is clay and heavy, peat is added. Alternatively, a coconut substrate can be used.

Garden land for seedlings must be pretreated, for disinfection, roasting in the oven or freezing.

Growing seedlings

Treated seeds are sown at a distance of 2-3 cm into moist soil, sprinkled with earth on top and slightly compacted. The seed container is covered with a newspaper or plastic film (unsealed) and placed in a place with a comfortable (24-25 degrees) temperature.

The emergence of seedlings must be observed - as soon as the first loops begin to appear - they are carried to the most illuminated place.

The next stage of caring for seedlings - within two weeks - is very responsible, since it is necessary to maintain maximum illumination for 11-12 hours per day and temperature conditions: at night - about 14 degrees, day time - about 16 degrees.

After quenching, the temperature is increased by 5-7 degrees. Plants are watered carefully, the ground should be only slightly wet. With the advent of several true leaves, tomatoes swoop down into individual cups or large boxes by volume, keeping a distance of at least 20 cm between them.

All the remaining time before planting, the seedlings should be well lit, and care consists of moderate watering and feeding (1-2 times for the entire period). Plants are considered ready for planting in the greenhouse in 45-55 days. We can not allow the growth and stretching of seedlings.

Planting in a greenhouse is usually started with the onset of persistent heat, when the threat of night frost is over. The distance between plants in a row when forming 1-2 stems, 50 cm is enough.

Under the seedlings prepare the wells, make compost, ash, complex mineral fertilizers, watered. After planting, the plants are watered again, the roots are covered with earth, the supports are set up, as in the future the plant will stretch and it will have to be tied up.

If there is a threat of night frosts, it is desirable to provide additional arcs and covering materials, such as spunbond, in order to preserve the transplanted seedlings.

Caring for plants in the greenhouse

Growing tomatoes in the greenhouse has a number of features. Tomatoes prefer high soil moisture and at the same time low air humidity in the greenhouse. To obtain such an effect in greenhouses, land using grass, sawdust, or other materials, which protect the soil from evaporation and prevent weeds from penetrating, is increasingly being used.

To make the plants in the greenhouse feel comfortable, you need:

• Regular airing of the greenhouse at the expense of window leaves and doors, (without creating at the same time drafts).
• Water the plants once a week. It is allowed to carry out watering only under a root, without moistening leaves, in order to avoid sunburn.
• Regularly carry out weeding, loosening the soil.
• Mulching with mowed grass or weeds.
• Formation of plants in one - two stalks.
• Gathering and pruning of the lower yellowed leaves.This procedure is carried out in the morning so that the wounds can dry out during the daytime.
• Feed tomatoes in the first two to three weeks with green manure - a solution of infusion of mullein and fermented grass (the solution is prepared in a ratio of 1:10).
• After the appearance of the fruit, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizers is reduced, mineral fertilizers are added.

The plants in the greenhouse take much more nutrients out of the soil than in the open field, so you should watch their development very carefully, adding the necessary trace elements if necessary.

And then your favorite plants will thank you for a great harvest.
