Features of growing and care

In order for all the points of the characteristic to appear in practice, landing and subsequent manipulations must be performed according to the established plan. To obtain seedlings, seeds are sown in seedling boxes 50–55 days before planting on the garden bed. To speed up seed germination, cover the container with plastic wrap or glass.

Until the emergence of shoots, the shelter is periodically removed. If the crops are kept closed, the cultivation of tasty tomatoes will collapse: the soil will become moldy and the seeds will not germinate.

Seeds are sown in grooves to a depth of 1 cm. After emergence, excess plants are removed or dive into separate cups after 2-3 true leaves have formed. Young plants are planted in a permanent place after the formation of 5-6 true leaves. Seedlings are planted in cloudy weather or in the evening.

Plants of such a large growth are usually tied to supports.Being in an upright position, the plant is less likely to get sick, since the fruits do not come into contact with the soil, and the bushes are well lit and ventilated. In addition, due to the correct distribution of nutrients, formed bushes bear fruit better than their creeping unkempt cousins.

Caring for tomatoes completely coincides with the generally accepted care for all types of vegetable crops. The bushes are regularly watered and fed with organic fertilizers.
