Good varieties

Tomato is a vegetable of tropical origin, but in most agricultural regions it is successfully grown not only in greenhouses. Various varieties of tomatoes for open ground have been bred, and the list is constantly updated. Many years of selective selection have adapted this valuable crop to a temperate climate. The best outdoor tomato varieties adapt well to different weather conditions. Consider varieties and hybrids popular for 2017-2018.

Positive aspects of street culture

The greenhouse is deservedly considered a more reliable option. However, growing tomatoes in soil has several advantages:

• vegetables are tastier and healthier;
• attacks of pests and diseases are less aggressive, less destructive;
• lower financial and labor costs;
• the yield of simple varieties is practically not inferior to those of hybrids.

Seed companies offer growers a choice of hybrid and non-hybrid varieties.

Variety or hybrid?

Indoors, the advantage of hybrids (in all respects, except for the taste and weight of the fruit) is more obvious. For open ground, breeders also offer resistant varieties of tomatoes of hybrid origin, they are resistant to diseases and temperature contrasts.

But numerous reviews indicate that amateur gardeners still prefer non-hybrid forms - they are considered more tasty and aromatic, and you can also get your own seeds from them (this is free, plus a guarantee of germination and varietal purity).

Selection of varieties for open ground

For greenhouses, indeterminate tomatoes with an extended growing season are certainly more profitable. For street beds, the criteria are much broader, but the selection itself is stricter. There is more dependence on a variety of conditions - the climatic zone, microclimate, goals and capabilities of the gardener.

More information about the best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses for 2017-2018.

We can say that there are three types of street culture:

• reckless way;
• planting seedlings under a temporary shelter;
• planting seedlings immediately under the open sky.

For different climatic zones, the set of varieties for each method will be different, but there is a general rule: mid-late and late ripening periods are not suitable for open ground.

The restrictions on the height of the bushes depend only on the climate and technology: tall varieties of tomatoes will not reveal their potential with a short summer and lack of good support.

Agricultural technology options:

1. In regions with warm summers, tall tomatoes can be planted in the ground - if it is possible to provide strong support (trellis), timely pinching, worthy of top dressing. Only in this way will the most productive varieties of tomatoes be able to reveal their potential.
2. In recent years, semi-determinant tomatoes have become increasingly popular. This is sometimes called determinant varieties and hybrids of medium height (100-130 cm). As a rule, they are universal - they are suitable for both open and closed ground. Simple pegs are suitable for them, moderate pinching is required. The yield is decent.
3. Low-growing tomatoes are less labor-intensive, they are unpretentious. It is advisable to pinch them to the first brush - for earlier ripening, but this procedure is not mandatory. Excessive pinching leads to a decrease in yield. A thickened fit is sometimes used.
4. For very early varieties (low determinants and super determinants), a seedless cultivation method is possible. This does not mean direct sowing into the ground, but the arrangement of at least a minimal greenhouse with heat accumulation.

In 2018, the gardener has the opportunity to test the latest breeding achievements and compare them with old, proven tomato varieties.

Reviews of gardeners: the best varieties for open ground for 2017

Given the climatic conditions of our country, it is difficult to grow such a heat-loving culture as a tomato in the open field. It is much easier to do this using a greenhouse. However, if it is employed under another crop or is simply absent, then under certain conditions, tomatoes can be grown in the open field.

According to the existing opinion, they will be even more useful than greenhouse ones.

The main thing is to choose the right kind of tomato so that it is desirable:

• early ripening - early (ultra, - ultra-early) varieties will make it possible to grow crops in a relatively short warm season, avoiding possible late spring or early autumn frosts;
• undersized, in extreme cases, medium-sized - in order to better withstand wind loads in an open space, even with relatively weak support.

Let's try to determine which early ripening and undersized tomatoes are most often well-spoken about on forums and social networks, which varieties are recognized as the sweetest and (or) tastiest.

The sweetest varieties

Many amateurs appreciate the presence of a sweet aftertaste in the taste range of tomatoes. Therefore, varieties that can be conditionally classified as sweet are very popular for cultivation. The following of them received a lot of good reviews from specialists and ordinary gardeners:

• Big Mom is an early, relatively new variety with a fruit weight of up to 300 grams. Typical comments “Excellent taste”, “The sugar pulp resembles a watermelon”, etc .;
• The yellow giant is a medium-sized early variety with delicate pulp and low acid content, its fruits reach a weight of up to 700 grams. “Loved the intense sweet taste” and “Excellent variety” are typical reviews .;
• Leo Tolstoy is a hybrid medium-sized variety with a fruit weight of up to 300 grams. "Very juicy and tasty fruit, the cut even sparkles in the sun" - one of the many positive statements about this variety available on the forum.

They also speak well of sweets and other varieties, such as, for example, Uvalen, Pink honey, Sweet kiss, Sweet tooth, Aphrodite, Valentine, etc.

The most "delicious" varieties of tomatoes

Pink king

It is difficult to give the concept of "taste" unequivocally. Pickles and dark chocolate can be tasty, while sweetened soda can be sugary and disgusting. What combination of components makes a product tasty (in our case tomato) or not tasty is often impossible to determine.

However, such a seemingly subjective opinion about the deliciousness of the product did not prevent consumers from dividing tomato varieties according to this criterion and highlighting the best ones.

More often than others, in 2017-2018, the following varieties of early ripening tomatoes were praised by gardeners:

• The Pink King;
• Siberian troika;
• Explosion.

“Excellent taste”, “I planted it on recommendation, I liked the taste very much, I will now plant this variety all the time”, “Juicy and very tasty fruits, I advise everyone to grow it” - such or similar statements were accompanied by reviews of these varieties.

Of course, this list is not limited to "delicious" varieties of early ripening and low tomatoes. Moreover, some will believe that the mentions of dozens of other varieties in this list are undeservedly forgotten. And this is good, it means that there is a wide selection of excellent "tasty" varieties of tomatoes for growing outdoors, even in our not the most favorable climate.

Real battles unfolded during the voting for the most productive varieties of tomatoes that our readers have grown in their beds. Evaluated according to different criteria - from frost resistance and keeping quality, to taste and pickling qualities.

Amateur tomato growers voted for many varieties, which pleased them with their unpretentiousness and productivity in specific conditions. It is simply impossible to mention all varieties of tomatoes in one article. Therefore, we will list only those who, according to practitioners, have become the absolute leaders of the rating. And who, if not tomato growers, can be trusted 100%.

Let's start at the very bottom of the rating and tell you about the tomato varieties that received the least number of votes. However, this does not mean that these tomatoes are bad or weak and should not be grown. It's just that it's not customary to argue about tastes.

Eagle heart

A tomato with the proud name Eagle Heart occupies the bottom line of our top. Everyone who grows these giant tomatoes with an elongated tip, shaped like a heart, leaves only positive reviews about it. Fruit weight reaches 600-800 g, and sometimes up to 1 kg. One such pink-raspberry fleshy "hulk" - and you can feed the whole family with salad! The pulp of a tomato is sugary, juicy and sweet.

The variety is determinant, with an average ripening period - in a greenhouse with nutritious soil, the bushes grow up to 170 cm and need to be pinned and tied. Outdoors, they may be slightly lower. But their yield sometimes exceeds 10 kg per bush. For the sake of such impressive results, no effort is spared. Moreover, the tomato shows resistance to most diseases, does not lose its shape during transportation and can be stored for up to 3 months.

Koenigsberg

A mid-season variety of indeterminate (up to 2 m high) tomatoes, which confidently took the 10th line of our amateur rating. The first fruits usually ripen 110-115 days after sowing the seeds. Even beginners will be able to cope with their cultivation. The variety has been tested and hardened in the harsh conditions of Siberia. Therefore, you can safely plant these tomatoes in open ground. Their yield indicators are impressive - from 4 to 18 kg per 1 sq. M.

"Königsberg performed well both in the greenhouse and in the OG." Yuri Kuzminykh.

Oblong fruits ripen in clusters of 6 pieces, they weigh an average of 300 g, under favorable conditions the weight can be 2-3 times higher than the standard declared by the manufacturer. Both the skin and the flesh of tomatoes are dense, which makes them easier to transport.They are, of course, healthier fresh, but in the form of juice, thick paste or sauce, they are also very tasty. There are varieties of red and yellow color (Golden Koenigsberg).

“Königsberg is an excellent variety, bearing fruit throughout October, from one bush to 2 buckets. In the greenhouse, of course. " Lyudmila Petlyuk.

Abakan pink

On line 9 - a variety of medium late ripening (110-120 days from germination), determinant type (height - 70-80 cm). In a greenhouse, it can grow up to 140-150 cm. The bush must be formed into 1-2 stems and tied up. Fruits of pink color, heart-shaped (weighing up to 300 g) with tasty dense pulp will ripen on it. If cared for correctly, tomatoes weighing up to 800 g can be removed, which rival the popular Bull Heart in size.

There are many positive reviews about the cultivation of this tomato, no one criticizes it. It can be grown in Siberia, and for protection from recurrent spring or late autumn frosts, a light film cover will be enough for the bushes. This representative of the nightshade is rarely sick, it will be necessary to drive away the Colorado beetles only from immature seedlings. In a word, he will not create much trouble for you, but he will delight you with tomatoes - both in a salad in summer and in preparations for the winter.

“I recommend Abakan pink. Unpretentious and very tasty. " Lydia Domnikova-Kazakova.

Chio-chio-san

Of the shortcomings of this indeterminate (sometimes it grows up to 2 m) tomato - only the need for a bush in support and formation. The rest is a set of advantages! It is resistant to adverse conditions and can grow even in Siberia and the Far East. It bears fruit well not only in the greenhouse, but also in the open field. It is not afraid of the main diseases of the nightshade.

“In the greenhouse, I am always pleased with the Chio-Chio-san variety from Gavrish. Maria Dolzhikova.

According to the ripening period, the tomato belongs to the medium early - from the appearance of the first shoots to the beginning of fruiting, 100-120 days pass. It will not let you down with the harvest either - although the tomatoes are small (on average about 30-40 g), but they ripen up to 50 pieces. on the brush! So the harvest from a bush with proper care is 4 kg and can reach a record 6 kg. And the taste of this tomato is excellent! And in the blanks, it looks very presentable.

“Chio-chio-san - sweet, very productive, tall, with up to 50 smooth, thin-skinned sweet tomatoes in a bunch! Universal for food and preservation. " Tatiana Vznuzdaeva. Tula region

Apple tree of Russia

Tomatoes with such a quivering name could not help but get into the top - they ripen early - from the time the first shoots appear until the bushes are completely covered with small round fruits (weighing about 100 g) that really look like bulk apples, it takes from 118 to 135 days.

Many people consider this tomato problem-free - it is determinant, standard bushes grow low - up to 100 cm; you do not need to give them a shape and pinch them; they are not capricious and feel great and set fruits both in the greenhouse and in the open field. On one bush, up to 100 neat tomatoes suitable for canning can ripen at the same time - the skin will not burst, there is no need to be afraid. Not a tomato, but just a feast for the eyes!

Monomakh's hat

6th step of the conditional "pedestal". These bright red tomatoes will appeal to lovers of large fruits - they weigh from 400 to 900 g. The pulp has a balanced taste due to the harmonious ratio of acids and sugar.

The type of fruiting is medium early (90-110 days pass from the moment the seedlings are planted). Bushes are indeterminate, formed on a trunk. The plant successfully resists diseases, but prefers warmth to the cold, so in the northern regions it is better to plant it in a greenhouse. In conditions of protected ground, the yield is impressive and reaches 20 kg per 1 sq. M. In the garden, the indicators are also decent - up to 8 kg per bush.

Puzata khata

In terms of the number of votes won, he did not go far from the Cap of Monomakh. The appearance of these tomatoes fully explains the name.Large (300 g), pear-shaped, ribbed, just like squat houses for gnomes, these tomatoes ripen early - 105-110 days after transplanting. True, they turn red gradually if there is a lot of heat and sun. They are grown in the open field and under a film, where they ripen faster. Fleshy fruits, very sweet and juicy to taste.

The bushes are indeterminate, but even in a greenhouse their height rarely exceeds 170 cm.However, it will not be possible to do without formation. The stems are thin and need a garter, as they can lie under the weight of the fruit. And the yield of these tomatoes, ripening in brushes of 3-5 pcs., Show quite decent - 10-11 kg per bush. They are not very susceptible to common cultural diseases, but preventive measures of protection have not prevented anyone yet.

“This year, too, I want a Puzata hut. Last year they were with a friend - just a miracle! " Marina Samoilova.

Golden domes

The votes gained allowed these tomatoes to occupy the 4th line of the rating. In their "piggy bank" there are many good reviews, since the variety has almost no flaws, for which it is recognized and loved by many. It is highly resistant to major diseases, and timely applied insecticides will ward off harmful insects.

Determinate bushes (height from 90 to 150 cm), medium ripening period (100-116 days). You will still have to form it into 2-3 stems and tie it up, so it will not work at all without effort on your part. The yield is very good - up to 13 kg per bush with an average tomato weight of 200-400 g, and if the care is good, they will gain all 800 g! Ripe fruits are bright orange, juicy even in appearance. The pulp is fleshy, very tasty, sweet.

“I love golden domes very much - they are tasty, fruitful and beautiful. Excellent variety! " Love Chernoguz.

Eagle beak

The bronze "medal" and the 3rd place in the rating is received by the Eagle's beak, which is popular with many tomato growers! The variety is mid-season (110-115 days), semi-determinant - the height of strong bushes reaches 120-150 cm. Competent formation, tying to a trellis and timely pinching will help them develop harmoniously and bear fruit well. Under ideal conditions and with proper agricultural technology, the yield can be up to 8 kg per bush.

"Eagle's beak is the best, I have no competition yet, the leader for today." Olga Nesmeyanova.

The fruits are large, of an unusual shape, with an elongated and curved tip, similar to a beak. On average, they weigh 200-400 g, but some grow up to 800 g. The pulp is dense and juicy, with a sweetish taste.

The variety is resistant to the main diseases of the nightshade - late blight, fusarium and tobacco mosaic virus. Tomatoes tolerate transportation well due to their dense skin; they do not crack when canned.

"I really like the Eagle's Beak !!!" Nina Belevtseva.

De Barao

Breaking away from the rivals, the honorable 2nd place in the top varieties is occupied by the famous De Barao tomato variety. The variety is late ripening (ripening periods vary from 110 to 130 days from the moment of planting seedlings), indeterminate (2-3 m), sometimes bushes can grow up to 4 m. The main advantages of the variety are its cold resistance, shade tolerance and yield. These tomatoes grow well and ripen successfully in all regions with a temperate climate, both in greenhouses and in the open field. The plants are so unpretentious that even inexperienced gardeners can take care of them.

"Tall De Barao gives stable yields in any weather: rain or heat, even in the shade." Tatiana Trach.

The yield of De Barao is exceptional - from one bush you can collect from 4 to 10 kg of strong, oblong fruits weighing about 100 g. It is noteworthy that the plants give the crop for a long time (up to 3 months). There are varieties with pink, red, yellow and black fruits. Tomatoes keep well due to their dense skins and are suitable for pickling or pickling for the same reason.

“The only one who stood in the greenhouse and matured in October is De Barao. Persistent tin ... ". Tatiana Gorodetskaya.

Bull heart

The universally recognized and most popular variety of Bull's Heart becomes the absolute leader of the national tomato rating, with a record number of votes! A real Senior Tomato in all respects!

The variety is late-ripening - the first fruits (5 pieces in a brush) ripen 120-130 days after germination. In the open field, the yield is from 3 to 5 kg of tomatoes per bush. In a greenhouse, this figure can increase to 12 kg. Determinant type bush - stems grow up to 1.5 m or more. To achieve record yields, do not neglect leaving - timely formation and garter to the support, preventive treatment for late blight - and the harvest will not keep you waiting!

Tomatoes are heart-shaped, bright red in shape. Hybrids range in color from lemon and raspberry to deep brown and black. Average weight - from 300-500 g to 800 g and even up to 1 kg. On the bush, large specimens are located closer to the ground, smaller ones - in the upper part of the stem. The giant size of the fruit, dense pulp and unique sweet taste make this tomato an unconditional favorite of all gardeners without exception. This is confirmed by the voting on the portal and our rating based on its results.

“I planted a Bull's Heart, even in a cool and rainy summer season - it gave a good harvest. The husband adores him! " Tatiana Arzhanova.

If you still do not grow tomatoes because of fears that the weather will let you down, you will not be able to cope or the plants will die due to diseases or improper care, we hope that positive feedback and recommendations from the members of our Tomato Growers Club will convince you otherwise. And over time, on the pages of our website and in the group in social networks, you will also begin to enthusiastically discuss your new achievements and share your successes!

Good day to all readers!

Tomatoes are a favorite vegetable for many gardeners. They are grown both outdoors and in greenhouses and hotbeds. Breeders offer a large number of different varieties of tomatoes. Each one differs in color, shape, fruit taste, yield and agronomic characteristics.

From a huge variety of varieties, knowledgeable gardeners know how to choose the best ones that have proven themselves. Based on the characteristics and reviews, even a novice gardener can pick up exactly those varieties of tomatoes that will take root in any area and give a bountiful, high-quality harvest.

How to choose the best varieties for sowing

Tomatoes are quite demanding vegetables to care for. They need to be pinned, tied up, shaped. Without this, varieties that require the formation of a bush begin to hurt and give a meager harvest.

If there is no time for these procedures, you need to choose low varieties that are compact in size.

When choosing varieties for sowing, you need to pay attention to the characteristics of tomatoes.

The seed package must indicate whether the variety is intended for outdoor or greenhouse cultivation.

There are universal varieties. In the absence of such a mark, you can focus on the type of growth:

• superdeterminate are intended for planting in open ground and early harvest in the greenhouse;
• indeterminate suitable for greenhouses and open ground in southern regions;
• determinant varieties are grown in the open field and in the greenhouse.

To get an early harvest, you need to choose early ripening varieties. Tomatoes with a longer growing season ripen later, but can be harvested until late autumn.

You also need to pick up zoned varieties that are suitable for a particular climate. In Central Russia, tomatoes are most often grown in greenhouses, and in the south in open ground.

When choosing from varieties, it is better to buy tomatoes with increased resistance to diseases, cold, drought and winds.

Also, varieties must be chosen for their intended purpose:

• salad (dessert)
• for canning
• storage
• universal.

If you want to grow unusual tomatoes, you can plant varieties of different colors and shapes.

If you choose varieties based on their characteristics, you can get an excellent harvest.
