Growing recommendations

The bushes are grown in a film greenhouse. They are tied to the frame at a height of 2 m. The stepchildren should be regularly removed when they do not exceed 2-3 cm. If the seedlings are planted in early May, then the harvest will be in the first decade of July and will continue until October. Delicious salads for the whole season are provided.

The success of growing tomato Black gourmet depends largely on the quality of the seedlings. Seedlings for planting indeterminate tomatoes must be between 60 and 65 days old.The bushes are vigorous, so you need to make sure that the seedlings do not stretch out. To do this, the temperature at night in the greenhouse is reduced, the illumination of the plants is increased and the plants are fed with fertilizers.

delicious salads

Tomato seedlings are fertilized every 10-14 days. Tomatoes are responsive to fertilizers that contain humic acids. In the initial period of growth, fertilizers containing nitrogen are needed.

In the future, you can alternate feeding with humic and ordinary mineral fertilizers. And also the method of fertilization alternates: under the root and foliar method.

In the summer, in the greenhouse, it is difficult to maintain the optimum temperature. It is often very hot there and the temperature is extremely high. If the greenhouse is a film greenhouse, then you can remove part of the film by opening the opposite sides of the greenhouse for ventilation. If the greenhouse is glass, then the glass can be covered with whitewash, which is easily washed off. So it will be cooler in the greenhouse, and there will be enough light in any case. Water the tomato in the greenhouse 2-3 times a week.

Planting soil

Vigorous tomatoes place high demands on soil fertility. Since this tomato has significant growth vigor, high biomass and high yields, it needs to create conditions with highly fertile soil. Care should be taken to ensure that the soil in the greenhouse is fresh, free from larvae of pests and pathogens.

To disinfect the soil, it can be spilled with a solution of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) or treated with steam.

The soil should contain fertile forest soil, peat and ordinary land in a ratio of 2: 1: 3. For a light texture and good water permeability, sawdust or coarse sand can be added to the mixture. In addition, the ready-made mixture is filled with a complex mineral fertilizer, for example, Nitroammofoskaya or Azofoskaya - this will be the main fertilizer.

Fertilization after planting seedlings in the ground

Properly prepared soil provides tomato plants with nutrients for a long period. However, during the period of fruit growth, top dressing is necessary, and since the Black Gourmet tomatoes have an extended fruiting period, then this variety needs several dressings, at least three. Nitrogen should prevail in the first feeding before harvesting - the plant needs increased growth.

Closer to harvest, potassium should prevail in the dressing - this element will help to get smooth, rounded fruits with a high content of solids and sugars. In addition to potassium, trace elements - sodium, magnesium, zinc - need to be added to the top dressing. The tomato will not hurt in the presence of these minerals. You need at least two such dressings.

Reviews of those who planted the Black Gourmet indicate that this tomato deserves an annual cultivation. Its main advantage is its high yield and excellent taste of the fruit.

    Good day to all Russian gardeners!
    Tomato Black Gourmet is really very fruitful, beautiful, even tomatoes, collected 6 pieces in a brush. But for my taste, the usual tomato flavor is no different. Maybe you need salt on top.
