care features

The tomato prefers soil from the garden, where fertilizers or peat are added. Sometimes a small amount of sand or ash is injected. Containers and small containers of peat are well suited for sowing.If we plant seeds in cups, sprinkle them with peat on top and sprinkle with water.

If the tomatoes are planted in different containers, in the future it will not be necessary to dive the seedlings. The container is covered with foil, placed in a warm place. For good germination, it is necessary to provide a temperature of 25 degrees.

Seedlings are planted in the ground where cruciferous plants used to grow. It is not recommended to plant where peppers or eggplants were grown in the past. If there is no suitable place, the top layer of soil is replaced in the greenhouse with a new one, containing sand and peat. The tomato should be planted in well-loose soil. Seedlings are planted in holes, the distance between which should be about half a meter, and the row spacing should be 70 centimeters.

Fertilizers are scattered over the holes before planting. Supports are placed near each hole, which are used as stakes or rods, sometimes trellises. In the future, they will tie up tomato bushes.

For irrigation, use warm water, which should be defended throughout the day. Watering is carried out as needed, as soon as the top layer of the base dries. Between irrigations, the soil should be loosened, otherwise a crust will form on the surface, which will not let air through to the roots. Throughout the season, it is necessary to feed, only three to four times. Organic compounds and mineral complexes are used as fertilizers.

During the formation of the bush, it is necessary to leave one or two stems, all extra stepsons are removed. If the plant is too elongated, the top is cut off. The lower leaves are removed, improving air exchange. In addition, the fruit thus receives more light. Some gardeners harvest substandard flowers.

Sometimes tomato bushes are attacked by pests. This most often occurs when the tomato is producing flowers. For prevention, it is necessary to inspect all tomato bushes weekly. To combat insects, tomatoes are sprayed with poison or a solution of potassium permanganate. The use of chemical toxins is permissible only before the beginning of fruiting, and during the period of fruit ripening, pest control is carried out using folk remedies.

Harvesting

The crop must be harvested regularly, every 4 - 5 days, depending on the ripening time. This will give the tomato bush more strength to develop and ripen other tomatoes. If a defective fruit is marked on the bush, the marriage should be broken so that it does not take away the strength from the bush.

Tomatoes are divided into green, milk, brown and pink. They are ripped off depending on the purposes of further use. If the tomatoes are to be eaten fresh, only the pink fruits need to be picked. For storage, you must collect brown or milk. If the tomatoes are planned to be stored for a long time, it is better to leave the stalk, otherwise a wound will form, into which bacteria can enter, causing the tomato to rot.
