Growing rules

Those who live in a cold region should plant seeds for seedlings. For this, the seed containers are placed in a warm and lighted room. The soil is watered regularly. After the height of the seedlings is about 20-25 cm and several leaves are formed, they should be transplanted into the greenhouse.A distance of 30 cm should be adhered to between the holes, and 50 cm between the rows.
Care
Planting seeds or seedlings should be carried out at a time when the soil has warmed up to a temperature of 18 ° C. If it is lower, the root system will freeze and you can forget about further yield.
Watering should only be done with warm water. Experts advise using drip irrigation, because this way the water will not get onto the leaf areas.
Top dressing should contain all the useful elements. It is best to use phosphorus or potassium substances.
Top dressing should be done regularly, at intervals of 10 days. Also, do not forget that tomatoes need regular loosening of the soil, removing weeds and weeding the beds. These activities must be carried out so that the root system receives the required amount of moisture and nutrients.
