Description of the bush
When growing tomatoes, it is recommended to leave 2 stems for fruiting. Leaf formation begins at the level of the first internode.
There are enough leaves on the plant for it to grow comfortably and receive ultraviolet light. The lower leaves are removed: they interfere with the free circulation of air. The shape of the leaf blade is usual, potato type. The veins of the leaf are well pronounced, therefore, there is an average corrugation.
The first brush is formed at level 7 of the sheet. It bears up to 8 simple-type flowers. After pollination, fruits are tied, which ripen almost simultaneously, so it is possible to collect each brush at once. You can even remove the fruit by cutting off the entire brush at the stem itself.

Growing varieties

- earth (0.5% mixture);
- humus (0.25%);
- sawdust and sand (0.25%).
The soil is thoroughly mixed and poured into containers, on top of the drainage. Easily leveled without tamping so that the bottom layer does not thicken.
The seeds are soaked overnight in stimulants, if needed. Some firms sell granular seed. It doesn't require any processing.
Seeds are laid out on the surface of the soil, covered with a layer of earth no more than 1 cm.Then they are sprayed with warm water from a spray bottle and covered with transparent material. The temperature in the containers should be around 25 ° C during the day and at least 17 ° C at night.
Growing seedlings
Hardened seedlings can be planted outdoors
After the emergence of shoots, the containers are opened, accustoming the shoots to fresh air. If necessary, include additional lighting. In the phase of 2 leaves, the seedlings dive and continue to care for them, watering them on time and observing the temperature regime.
Seedlings are hardened 15 days before planting in open ground. During this period, they are taken out into the open sun. First for 15 minutes, then add another 15 minutes every day. For greenhouses, hardening is irrelevant.
Landing in the ground
On the area allocated for tomatoes, markings are made so that 4 plants can be planted in a checkerboard pattern on 1 m². Wells are filled, which are watered with warm water and supports are installed near each of them.
Seedlings are planted, the trunk area is mulched with a straw cut. If required, the sprouts are tied up immediately after planting.
Care and disease control
Planting care consists of several stages:
- watering plants and loosening the soil;
- weed and pest control;
- disease prevention and fertilization.
As for watering, it should be carried out once a week, based on the feedback from experienced gardeners. You need to water abundantly at the root.
It is best to irrigate in the evening and so that drops of water do not fall on the leaves. When the soil dries up a little, it needs to be loosened so that the air can freely get to the roots.
Weeds are removed as they emerge. If aphids or other small insects appear on the site, insecticides can be applied by diluting them with soapy water. Boric acid is sometimes used. It not only repels pests, but also serves as foliar feeding.
For the prevention of viruses and diseases, the drugs Bravo, Fitosporin and others are used. When plants are sick, they are helped by treating them with colloidal sulfur, Fundazol and other chemicals.
