Impressions of amateur vegetable growers

The happy owners of their own greenhouses have already appreciated the advantages of a modern hybrid. Grateful reviews about the tomato Artist f1 come from different parts of the country:

  1. Kappes Tatyana Yakovlevna (Moscow region): “The Artist planted the tomato both in a greenhouse and in a garden bed without shelter. The street version was not very successful, but in the greenhouse the variety proved to be the best. There were a lot of brushes, and all were even, as in the picture. The market was in great demand. Buyers took in buckets for pickling without haggling. "
  2. Pushkareva Irina (Kemerovo region): “For the first time I bought the seeds of the Artist from the company“ Aelita ”several years ago,” a neighbor advised. Since then I have been planting constantly. Last year, I did not manage to process the greenhouse, and many tomatoes fell ill and disappeared. But not an Artist! None the tomato has not turned black... The bushes remained green until October - and here in Siberia it is already deep autumn! "
  3. Nikitin Leonid Abramovich (Chelyabinsk region): “My family and I constantly joked: here is an Artist, an Artist! Fully justifies its name: slender, handsome, with a crazy impact. The tomatoes lay for a very long time. The last fresh salad was made for the New Year. "

It is thanks to its advantages that both experienced and novice gardeners love this tomato variety so much.

Varietal features

If we talk about the tomato Artist, then it is definitely worth noting several of the most important characteristics of the variety.

Fruit

Hybrid Artist - brush type. This means that the ovaries are evenly spaced in the brush, on both sides. All tomatoes are almost the same in size, smooth, beautiful. Within one brush, they are poured and ripen at the same time. It is convenient to remove such tomatoes with whole brushes, transport and store in this form.

 

tomato ovary

One inflorescence bears 5 to 8 fruits. The weight of each of them in the first brush can reach 200 grams, the average weight is 140 - 150 grams. This is the ideal, standard size for pickling and whole-fruit canning: the tomatoes are neither too large nor too small (sometimes referred to as "medium-fruit"). However, they are good both in fresh salads and in any preparations. Beneficial for market sales of fresh produce.

Tomatoes have a classic round shape, sometimes slightly ribbed. The color of unripe fruits is pale green, ripe tomatoes are bright, scarlet, without greening at the stalk. The skin is firm, the consistency of the pulp is dense, not watery. The most important characteristic is excellent transportability and keeping quality of ripe fruits without loss of quality (at least a month after harvest).

Bush

Plants can reach one and a half meters in height, have an indeterminate (continuous) type of growth. Hybrid Artist is recommended to be grown indoors. Any tall greenhouses are suitable - film, glass, polycarbonate, with or without heating. Bushes are compact; medium-sized leaves are located not perpendicular to the trunk, but at an angle, as if stretching upward.

The first brush is laid after the growth of 9-10 leaves. In the future, ovaries are formed every 3 leaves. The plant is capable of feeding 7 to 8 brushes. After their formation, the top of the stem must be pinched. The one who planted the tomato, Artist f1, notes that under favorable conditions 9-10 brushes can be fully filled.

Timing

When describing the Artist variety, it is characterized either as mid-season or medium-early in terms of ripening. These fluctuations are determined by the region, growing conditions, diet. The first fruits turn red in the range of 102 - 115 days from germination.

growing tomato

The yield of the crop continues until the end of the season, depending on the capabilities of the greenhouse (height, temperature). Unripe tomatoes are successfully ripened and then stored, which significantly prolongs the consumption of fresh vegetables.

Immunity

Ilyinichna tomatoes are famous for their genetic resistance to a number of harmful infections. All hybrids successfully resist Botrytis - gray rot of stems and fruits, which is especially dangerous in humid greenhouse air. Breeding novelties such as the Artist are able to repel the attack of the rootworm nematode, the tobacco mosaic virus (which does not lend itself to any treatment).

If you plant tomatoes without observing crop rotation in the same greenhouse from year to year, outbreaks of fungal infections are inevitable, taking away a significant proportion of the crop. Even chemicals do not always save. The hybrid variety Artist is good because it is not subject to fusarium wilt and brown spot (cladosporium). Less chemical treatments - more useful vegetables, lower money and labor costs.

Growing conditions

To get the richest harvest, it is worth following a few basic rules at each stage of growth.

Microclimate

We list only the main points, the observance of which is necessary to obtain delicious tomatoes.

Shine

A distinctive feature of the Artist variety is the ability to bear fruit well even in low light conditions. In a shaded corner of the greenhouse, in a cloudy summer, in a gloomy autumn, the tomato continues to develop as usual.

This is a very rare quality for a plant native to tropical America. Such shade tolerance is the result of reasonable selection.

Temperature regime

Any tomato likes the pleasant warmth of protected ground. It is in the greenhouse that the potential of the hybrid is most fully realized. But Artist f1 is not afraid of temperature stress. Tomatoes are tied and poured even in cold weather conditions (which often happens in early summer or autumn). Don't get ugly, crooked. Summer heat also does not inhibit the formation of fruits.

Formation

Artist f1 belongs to generative hybrids. Such plants are in no hurry to build up the green mass, do not spread out in breadth, direct nutrition to pouring fruits. The owner's task is to provide assistance and assistance.

If stepchildren appear, they must be removed as early as possible. The variety is grown in 1 - 2 trunks, no more. Yes, the tomato is shade-tolerant, but you should not thicken the planting: 3 - 4 bushes per square meter is quite enough. From this area, you can get up to thirty kilograms of selected tomatoes.
