Tomato seeds for 2018 varieties overview: video

Best regards, Sophia Guseva.

Today, in any summer cottage, as well as in the garden, you can meet such a very popular vegetable crop as tomato. Such a vegetable has a fairly high taste, and it is used in the preparation of a large variety of dishes. The tomato has one very big advantage - it can be grown all year round. In the warm season, this vegetable crop, as a rule, is cultivated only in open soil, and in the winter time it is successfully grown in greenhouse or home (on a windowsill) conditions. However, the largest crop of tomatoes can be harvested only in the summer.Below will be described in detail those varieties that are recommended for growing outdoors in the warm season.

What are the differences between different varieties of tomatoes

Before you start choosing the most suitable tomato variety for your summer cottage, you should understand how they can differ from each other. As a rule, all varieties of tomatoes differ in the color of the fruit, their shape, as well as the period of their ripening. Moreover, all tomatoes have a vegetative period of approximately 80 days. Also very important in choosing a suitable variety is the keeping quality of tomatoes. So, in some varieties, the fruits can lie longer and be perfectly preserved, while in others, they deteriorate much faster. Late-ripening varieties are grown all year round, their ripening time is approximately 100 days.

The best varieties of tomatoes for outdoor cultivation

Before proceeding with the direct transplanting of tomatoes into open soil, seedlings should be grown. It is necessary to start growing tomato seedlings in early spring. An open ground transplant is recommended in May, when the weather is warm.

Anastasia

This variety is great for open soil and is early maturing. So, with good care, on average, about 11 kilograms of fruit can be obtained from one bush, while the record harvest was 13 kilograms. This variety is high-yielding due to its rather high shoots, on which a large number of clusters are formed during growth. At the same time, it is also worth considering that 7 tomatoes can grow at once on one brush, and the mass of 1 such fruit can reach 0.2 kilograms. Red fruits taper towards the tip. The bush of such a plant requires a garter, because under the weight of a large number of fruits, it can break. After the height of the bush is 20 centimeters, it must be tied up for the first time. Tomatoes have a high taste.

The average weight of one tomato is 150 grams. The fruits are strong enough and therefore suitable for transport.

The gardener may be interested in the question, can the shoots withstand the severity of the fruit? Yes, the stems of the plant do not break, as they have a high strength, which is determined at the level of genes. Round red tomatoes have flattened poles. The fruits of this variety have the highest taste, they are very juicy and sweet. There is a relatively thin peel. The fruits are suitable for both storage and transportation.

Yielding

It is considered a mid-early variety. In the event that if the plant is properly looked after and placed in conditions suitable for growing, then about 11 kilograms of fruit can be obtained from one bush. Tomatoes of this variety begin to sing in the first days of August.

Roma

Unlike other varieties, this tomato grows relatively small, so, on average, their weight is 100 grams. On the other hand, about 20 fruits can grow on 1 brush.The height of the shoots can reach 200 centimeters, in this regard, this plant needs a mandatory garter. This variety is imported.

They can be stored for quite a long time.

There are many other varieties that can be grown quite successfully in open soil. For instance:

Now you know which varieties of tomatoes are most popular with gardeners for growing in open soil and are considered the best. Having studied them in detail, you will surely select exactly those of them that are best suited for your summer cottage or garden.

Original varieties of black tomatoes are in high demand among gardeners. Strictly speaking, they are not black, but painted in rich dark shades of various colors - maroon, purple, brown.

These unusual vegetables were obtained not by genetic modifications, but by traditional crossing of various wild and cultural forms.

Distinctive features of chokeberry tomatoes

Black-fruited varieties stand out among other tomatoes with a special color, piquant taste and a specific set of nutrients.

Anthocyanin coloration

An intense dark shade of the fruit is given by special organic pigments - anthocyanins. Modern science suggests that these natural substances have biological activity and may be beneficial to human health.

The benefits of anthocyanins:

• improve the barrier function of the gastrointestinal tract, reduce inflammation;
• reduce the risk of developing tumors of the esophagus, intestines and other organs;
• have a positive effect on the prostate gland and male health in general;
• have a beneficial effect on vision;
• reduce oxidative damage to cells, blood vessels.

It is likely that eating natural foods rich in anthocyanins slows down the overall aging process in humans. In addition, dark fruits contain a wide range of vitamins, organic compounds and minerals typical for all tomatoes (vitamins A and C, lycopene, rubidium, etc.).

Potential harm

The benefits and harms of black-fruited varieties are a matter of study. The danger occasionally arises only for people prone to allergies.

Their body (especially children) can react negatively to both anthocyanins and the poisonous glycoside solanine, which is present in small amounts in unripe tomatoes. Ripe fruits are less allergenic.

Specific taste

Literally in a few weeks, the summer cottage season will begin, which means that lovers of such a holiday should already gradually begin to deal with seedlings. As experienced summer residents advise, March is the last month, which is suitable for planting seeds at home or greenhouse conditions, as well as indoors. Many novice gardeners believe that this is a fairly simple business, but in fact it is associated with a lot of difficulties.

First of all, you need to choose the right variety, since the yield of the site will depend on this. We decided to devote our today's review to this issue - there are a large number of different subtleties that will have to be taken into account. Let's start, perhaps, with the basic rules for choosing planting material.

Which tomato seeds are considered the most productive and why?

For the most part, gardeners peck at bright and colorful packaging, which depicts large and ripe tomatoes. They usually assume that they will be able to grow the same fruit. When choosing seeds, it should be borne in mind that such varieties need daily, or even hourly, care, otherwise it will simply not work to get a large harvest. In this regard, such packaging is not a guarantee. This should be remembered first.

When choosing planting material, you need to take into account a number of parameters that, in one way or another, will affect the growth of plants and the overall yield:

• The climatic conditions in which such crops will grow;
• Manufacturing company - we immediately note that you should not give preference to import companies, since most of them do not take into account the peculiarities of the domestic climate, soil and other points;
• Expiry date of seeds;
• When choosing, they must inspect the packaging - it must have a variety marking and an F1 icon, which guarantees resistance to various kinds of diseases and increased productivity;
• Data concerning the percentage of germination (if 100% is indicated, then this is probably a hoax, since even for the most high-quality material this indicator does not exceed 80-90%);
• The purpose of the seeds is for open ground or for greenhouses, there are also universal varieties on sale;
• Fruit ripening period - early (late June - early July), late (late July - mid September);
• The purpose of the fruits is fresh eating, salting, canning, long-term storage, and so on.

We have selected the best varieties for owners of summer cottages, both in terms of value for money and in terms of user reviews. We hope that our review will be informative and useful for you. We now turn to an overview of tomato varieties that are distinguished by good yields and resistance to diseases and pests.
