Characteristic variety

Vegetative form

Independent variety. The height of the plant reaches 180 or even 200 cm. The plant is powerful, fattening, and requiring timely and regular tying and removal of the stepsons.

Leaf size medium, classic, green.

The section clearly shows four nests filled with pulp and a small amount of seeds.

The tomato is moderately dense, the skin is smooth with a slight sheen.

Tomato goes well in cold appetizers and salads. Vegetable slicing their tomatoes has an impeccable appearance, because the flesh keeps its shape well even when cut into segments.

Tasters, assessing the taste properties rated "good", but the opinion of vegetable growers was divided into those who are delighted with the taste and those who have not found a special taste.

Tomato cluster carries 3-4 fruits. Their growth occurs almost simultaneously, as well as ripening.

The variety has features in agricultural technology, if not to comply with the plant increases the vegetative mass to the detriment of the ovary.

Yield

The registration commission legalized for the variety the commodity roll of products within 6.1-6.7 kg per square meter of vegetable garden.

Vegetable growers who have tried the variety in their garden beds fully confirm these figures.

The yield of tomato is not great, but the taste properties compensate for the lack.

large fruits;

resistance to temperature changes;
disease resistance;

Features agrotehnika

"Lemon giant" has its own characteristics. The tomato is prone to fattening, so you can not grow it with the classic technology. To get the harvest in time and of excellent quality, all items of technology must be taken into account. Features take place in:

seedling period;
selection of fertilizers for feeding.

Rassada period

Once acquiring seeds, in the future you can use your planting material for years, as the variety perfectly conveys genetic information.

The variety of medium ripening and tightening with the crop can not be. The best time for sowing is the beginning of March, with the obligatory soaking of seeds. Warming up and germinating seed can win 1-1.5 weeks and get a harvest earlier.

Seed preparation

In order for the seed to show signs of life, it should be wound in a damp cloth or filter paper and put in a plastic bag and a warm place.

After 3-4 days, signs of germination (white spine) will indicate the time of sowing. We can not allow the growth and emergence of a green shoots.

Soil preparation

Since the cultivation of a variety has its own characteristics, and they relate to the prevention of tomato fattening, the soil must be prepared very carefully.

Ground mix need to prepare such a composition:

humus of animal origin (certainly well-ripened);
compost;
garden land.

Taking all the components in a third bucket, they add 1 kg of sand and 2 tbsp. spoons of superphosphate and ammonium nitrate.

It is necessary to take into account that the variety does not accept ammonia dressing, it begins to fatten. Therefore, nitrogen is applicable only in the seedling period.

Components are well mixed and incubated without freezing for 2-3 weeks.

Sowing

It is possible to sow the seeds in one tub, and then pick it up in individual cups.

Sowing is performed as follows:

Fill the tank with a soil mixture and compact it;
We spread the live seeds (naklyuvshiesya) on the surface with a distance of 2 cm;
Sprinkle with soil to 1.5-2 cm and compacted;
Pour through a strainer or from the sprayer with warm water;
Cover with plastic film or glass;
Sent to a warm place.

Germination temperature in the range of 24-26 ᵒC.

In 5-6 days, shoots will appear.

Seedling care

As soon as the seedlings appear at 80%, we remove the shelter, and we transfer the tanks with crops to the most lighted place. In order to prevent stretching, we lower the temperature to 14-16 ᵒC at night and two degrees higher during the day.

Watering is carried out only with warm water. Soil lump when watering should be completely wetted.

If the soil mixture is prepared correctly, the seedlings will not require additional fertilizing.

With the appearance of two true sheets of seedlings dive. To do this, the spine tear off the lower third and transplanted into individual cups.

Choosing the capacity for growing seedlings, it should be noted that the tomato lemon giant reviews and photos speak of a tall plant and an extensive root system should be grown in the seedling period.

Capacity for transplantation should be high, and should be filled with soil by 1/3. Further, as the shoot grows, the soil should be poured until the pot is completely filled.

Further growing seedlings consists of regular watering and ventilation. Before the moment of transplanting to the open ground, the plants are hardened. For this tub with a seedling carrying out to fresh air. Initially, the adaptation is carried out for 15 minutes, and then the residence time increases.

As soon as the threat of frost has passed, the plants are planted in open ground.

Transplantation in the garden

"Lemon giant" has its own characteristics. Choosing a landing site, you should not pick up very fat, fertile soils to prevent grease shoots.

The landing site must be protected from the winds and not grow up the nightshade in the previous 3-4 years.

Having chosen a place, we dig a hole and by a transshipment method, without destroying an earthen coma, we plant seedlings there.

Since the variety is tall, you should immediately take care of the supports and fixing the garter of the seedlings.

Care

After dropping out seedlings, further care will be to:

timely watering;
mulching;
regular feedings.

The large-fruited plant needs nutrients in a balanced supply. As soon as the soil dries, the flow stops, and the yield increase stops. Taking care of regular watering is the basis of large tomato.

Tomato lemon giant characteristic and description of the variety suggests that the plant is prone to fattening, therefore, it can not be fed with nitrogen fertilizers, but the potash and phosphorus him needed.

As such fertilizers, you can use:

superphosphate;
double superphosphate;
potassium sulfate;
stove ash.

Top dressing start 2 weeks after the transfer of seedlings to the garden. On a bucket of water bred 2 tbsp. spoons of any of the first three of the list, fertilizers, and to them add 0.5 liters of furnace ash. Under each bush of tomato such a solution should be made of 0.5 liters with a preliminary abundant watering.

The alternation of fertilizers produces a very favorable effect on tomato bushes. Tomatoes are well tied, and the vegetative mass grows balanced. Top dressing is carried out every 15-20 days until mid-August.

The grade is inclined to formation of plentiful quantity of stepsons. To prevent thickening, they should be broken at the moment when the value does not exceed 2-3 cm.

Variety genetically laid on the formation of a very large fruit. However, no matter how dense the shoot, he cannot independently hold very large tomatoes on the stalk. The task of the grower to help him. Constant tying of fruit bunches with soft twine will prevent breakage and crop loss.

Reviews indicate the resistance of the variety to disease, but experienced gardeners always carry out preventive treatments for fungal diseases.

As soon as the period of high humidity and cold weather comes, spray tomatoes with a fungicide preparation. It is easy to lose the grown crop, but it is not necessary to save it.

Observing all the agrotechnical subtleties, you can get a good harvest of large-fruited lemon giant.
