How to choose the best tomato varieties for greenhouses

Not everyone knows that there are different varieties of tomatoes - for the greenhouse and for open ground.Some of them grow and bear fruit well in any conditions, but there are also those who feel worse without shelter, and this affects the harvest.

The review below will help you decide on the right choice so that the efforts spent on growing tomatoes and setting up a greenhouse do not go to waste.

Choosing the best variety is the first step to a good harvest

Factors influencing the choice of the variety

How does a beginner choose seeds? He goes to the counter, takes a packet with the cutest picture in his opinion and reads the information on the back. In the best case, it consults with the seller.

But this approach does not always justify itself, because any image can be applied to the package, the instructions for growing are very scarce and uninformative, and the seller is not necessarily a specialist.

Therefore, it is necessary to determine in advance for yourself the criteria for choosing the right variety of tomatoes and select them, focusing on the opinion of experienced vegetable growers and studying the issue from all sides. Let's try to help you with this.

So, think about what is most important to you:

• Compliance with the light and climatic zone... This parameter is very important when growing tomatoes in the open field or in an unfurnished shelter without additional heating and lighting. For example, tomato varieties for Siberia in a greenhouse without heating must be resistant to possible low temperatures. For regions with short summers - to have the shortest growing season and ripening rate.
• Yield... A priority criterion for many, especially for owners of small plots and greenhouses of a modest area.

Advice. Preference should be given to productive hybrids that are resistant to temperature extremes and insufficient illumination, capable of bearing fruit in any growing conditions.

• Disease resistance... The soil in the greenhouse is especially susceptible to the accumulation of pathogens in it of diseases that are dangerous for tomatoes, such as mosaic or late blight. You can get rid of them, but for this it is necessary to change all the soil in the greenhouse every year and carry out disinfection. If for some reason this is not possible, you should choose a tomato variety for the greenhouse that resists disease well.

• Purpose and taste... Of course, most of us are guided by our own taste. Some people like large, fleshy and sweet varieties, others prefer smaller and sour ones. But you need to decide on the purpose of the harvest - it will only go for seasonal use, for the production of juices and other winter preservation, or for sale.

There are other, no less important for some gardeners, criteria for choosing tomatoes grown in a greenhouse. For example, the height and type of the bush, the size of the fruit, the rate of ripening. Let's move on to a specific choice from the assortment that domestic breeders offer today.

How to choose the right variety

As a rule, the price of seeds does not depend on the variety, and it is not so high as to pay attention to it. It is much more important to navigate by the type of bushes, ripening rate and other parameters.

Bush type

If you have a nice, spacious and tall greenhouse, it is best to plant tall bushes in it. They give a bountiful harvest and can bear fruit until late autumn.

To make the plants take up less space and receive more light, they are formed into one stem and tied to supports.

The best late varieties of indeterminate (tall) tomatoes:

• Scarlet Mustang;
• Honey rescued;
• Mushroom basket;
• Midas;
• Pink king;
• Southern tan.

Low-growing (determinant) tomatoes are preferred by owners of small home-made greenhouses and film greenhouses. It is easier to care for them, since you do not have to build high trellises, and some plants can easily support their own weight and do not require a garter at all.

Stunted tomato plant

According to experienced summer residents, the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes for greenhouses are:

• Ballerina;
• Lady;
• Mystery;
• Asteroid;
• Pink honey;
• Eleanor.

Note. If you plant both tall and undersized tomatoes in the same greenhouse, then the latter should be placed along its walls, and high ones in the central part, so that they do not restrict the access of light to the "kids".

Fruit size

Large-fruited tomatoes are used primarily for fresh consumption and juice.

Beloved by many variety Bull heart

Such fruitful varieties have proven themselves very well:

• Dream;
• Biysk rose tree;
• Orange miracle;
• Abkhazian;
• Monomakh's hat;
• Bull heart;
• World record holder.

But such large fruits are not suitable for canning with your own hands, for this it is better to choose medium-sized tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

Many varieties have the same shape and size, fit well in jars and look great when canned.

Among medium-sized tomatoes, it is worth highlighting the following varieties:

• Yellow drop;
• Herringbone;
• Legend;
• Cherry;
• Shuttle;
• Sugar plum;
• Italy;
• Truffle.

Among the small ones:

• F1 Gold bead;
• Minibel;
• Red cherry;
• F1 Marishka;
• F1 Zelenushka;
• Red caramel;
• Bonsai.

For reference. The F1 designation indicates the hybrid origin of the variety.

Ripening rate

The main reason why tomatoes are grown in the greenhouse is the desire to get the first harvest as early as possible. And this is quite possible if part of the beds is allocated for early maturing Dutch and domestic hybrids.

The following tomatoes give ripe fruits 20-30 days earlier than usual:

• Friend;
• Search;
• Verliok;
• Semko;
• Typhoon;
• Hurricane;
• Samara.

All of them are hybrids and have the designation F1 on the packaging.

Early ripeners usually sing very amicably

Advice. When choosing varieties of tomato seeds for greenhouses, look for specialized stores and reputable growers.
And always check the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Conclusion

Not all the best varieties of tomatoes are listed in the article - there are so many of them, and people's tastes and preferences are so different that it is simply impossible to do this. The best way to find “your” tomatoes is through personal experience that comes over the years.

See the video in this article for an additional overview of this topic.

How to properly grow tomatoes outdoors

In the southern regions of the country, tomatoes are planted in open ground in mid-May. The time for planting tomatoes in the beds in central Russia starts from May 25 and lasts until June 5. But the planting of plants in the heated soil of the northern regions can be started only from June 5.

Soil preparation

The landing site must be well protected from the wind. For tomatoes, sandy loam rich in humus and light loamy soils with neutral acidity are best suited.

It is not recommended to grow tomatoes in the same garden for more than 3 years in a row. You can only return to the old landing site after 4 years.

It is advisable to start preparing the beds for tomatoes in the fall. Clean the soil from weeds and dig it up to a depth of 30 cm, after applying organic fertilizer. 6 kg is enough per square meter. For clay or loamy soil, you will need rotted sawdust, per 1 m2 1 bucket. In the spring, treat the garden with a solution of copper sulfate. Add a tablespoon of vitriol to 10 liters of water. This mixture is enough for 5 m2. Dig up and leave the soil to warm up.

After 2 days, plant strong seedlings in open ground. Tomato seedlings for open ground should have up to 9 healthy leaves, a stem up to 1 cm thick and one or two flower clusters.

Before transplanting seedlings to the garden bed, water the soil in pots with plenty of water, which maximizes the preservation of the root system.

Choose a planting scheme and prepare holes. The depth of the hole should be at least 15 cm, and the diameter up to 30 cm. Pour a handful of humus into each hole and mix well with the ground. Pour in 1.5 liters of water. Plant tomatoes.

Care and feeding

The usual mulching with humus, straw or peat will help to avoid the appearance of a crust.

You need to start feeding tomatoes two weeks after planting in the garden. For 10 liters of water, 10 g of ammonium nitrate and 15 g of superphosphate. This solution is enough for 1 m2. As soon as the first ovaries appear, prepare a solution of 10 liters of water, 10 g of ammonium nitrate and 15 g of potassium sulfate.

Tomato varieties for open ground - video

— Tomatoes varieties. This year, as well as in the past, also "non-tomato" years, only those gardeners who grew early varieties of tomatoes were with the harvest. The early varieties of tomatoes of the selection of the Transnistrian Research Institute of Agriculture (Moldova) did not let me down, which, in spite of everything, gave a bountiful harvest, having managed to bear fruit by the time of the outbreak of late blight. Tomato seeds. Advertisements. The leaders in the early maturity of tomatoes in various regions of Ukraine, as it should have been, turned out to be tomato varieties Sorcerer and Lyapa. Especially good reviews of vegetable growers about the variety of tomatoes Sorcerer, which, as many say, really answers its name: the garden where the Sorcerer grows is a real miracle ... Low plants are simply covered with a myriad of fruits weighing 80-90 g, which are at first greenish-whitish, and on the 83-84 day after germination, they directly blaze with flame. Tomato varieties have proven themselves well this season: Early 83, Liguria, Juliana, Ballada, Slava Moldavia, Prizewinner, plum tomato varieties - Nadezhda, Maryushka. And the large-fruited variety of tomatoes Perseus directly fascinated. Good reviews about hybrids of tomato varieties bred by the Transnistrian Research Institute of Agriculture - Mars, Lark FI, Andromeda (Mercury) F1, Neptune P, Crohn F1, which turned out to be very productive and have excellent taste. For those who are interested in early varieties of tomatoes, I would like to inform you that this year I have grown the newest early varieties of tomatoes, the seeds of which were given to me for testing by my friends - breeders from the aforementioned institute. These are the Riddle and Line 89 varieties (the latter has no name yet, and Line 89 is its working name). Both varieties are very early: fruit ripening begins 82-86 days after germination (this is even earlier than in the varieties of Charodey and Liang). Plants and determinate (40-45 cm in height). The inflorescences are simple, compact, with 5-6 fruits. The first inflorescence is laid above 5-6 leaves. Fruits are round, slightly ribbed. Unripe - greenish-whitish, mature - red without a green spot at the stalk. Fruit weight - 100-120 g. Their taste is very high. Growing the last five years varieties and hybrids of tomatoes of the selection of the Transnistrian Research Institute of Agriculture, I came to the conclusion that in unfavorable weather conditions, their guaranteed yield can be obtained only when using varieties that have a very short growing season and manage to bear fruit by the time of late blight outbreak. These are the varieties and hybrids of tomatoes from Transnistria. They are more adapted to our climatic conditions than the Dutch tomato varieties hybrids. I was convinced of this personally, this is evidenced by the reviews of vegetable growers with whom I shared the seeds. How the widely advertised tomato variety Red Hunter (Red Hunter) “burned out” in July right before our eyes from late blight, while plum tomato varieties from Transnistria (Nadezhda, Maryushka and especially Prizer and Slava Moldova) yielded more than two weeks. Tomato seeds. I sow only full-fledged tomato seeds for seedlings - calibrated for 5 minutes in a 5% sodium chloride solution, washed with clean water and dried. In order to prevent late blight, I carry out thermal treatment of tomato seeds - I keep them in warm water at a temperature of 50 * C for 26 minutes (the causative agent of this disease dies during heat treatment), then I pickle them in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate for 25-38 minutes. Tomato seeds I sow seedlings for growing in open ground in the first decade of March. I try to sow them at such a distance from one another to grow without picking (picking delays the development of plants for 7-10 days, and this time is sometimes sorely lacking to "escape" from late blight). I try to plant seedlings in open ground as early as possible, but only after that the threat of frost passes and the topsoil warms up at a depth of 10-12 cm to 12-14 degrees (approximately at the end of the second decade of May). I try to create optimal conditions for the survival and development of seedlings, I regularly irrigate with water heated in the sun, feed the tomatoes with slurry (1: 7) or bird droppings (1:10), as well as mineral fertilizers (10 g of ammonium nitrate, 15 g of superphosphate and 15 g of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water). I do 3-4 feeding per season. I fight late blight with the help of a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid. I also use contact fungicides - copper oxychloride, polycarbonate, kuprozan. But these fungicides act only on the surface of plants and only in the place where they fall. Therefore, I also use more effective systemic fungicides, which quickly penetrate into plant tissue and protect the plant from the inside. These are arcsrid (40 g per 10 l of water), ridomil (30 g per 10 l of water), bravo 75 (20 g per 10 l of water), Dan M45 (15 g per 10 l of water). I do the last processing of tomatoes 20-25 days before harvesting. If it is already undesirable to treat the plants with fungicides, I use the infusion of garlic and insist for 2-3 days, for better adhesion I add 20-30 soaps, filter and process the plants. I also use for processing infusions of crushed leaves and stalks of nettle (1.5 kg of fresh or 400 g of dry raw materials per 10 liters of water), infusion of fresh mullein (1 kg per bucket of water), ash solution (I ignite 200-300 g of ash, dissolve in 10 liters of water, add 30 g of soap and process the plants). Tomato processing such preparations are absolutely harmless, and it can be carried out during the entire growing season and even during harvesting. So, if you want to be with the harvest regardless of weather conditions, grow early varieties of tomatoes. Tomato varieties. This year, about sixty varieties of tomatoes have been tested, of which almost half are new tomatoes purchased in Moscow or received from friends from Kharkov, Kiev, Khmelnitsk. Early tomato varieties include Anka (Poland), Arizona (America) and Florida petite. Despite the high yield and ease of care, Lika, unfortunately, turned out to be sour and too thin. But it is worth saying a kind word about the Arizona tomato variety. Its fruits are large, beautiful, like apples, moreover, dense, and therefore are indispensable for juices, ketchups, sauces. They are also good in salting. Ripen from mid-June to October. Florida petite tomatoes are very effective. The compact bush is strewn with a lot of graceful tomatoes - up to a hundred and more, and looks more like a bright flowering lawn than a vegetable patch. Such tomato varieties as Sabrina, Zabava, Iskristy and Lagidny were not surprised by anything. Of the well-known varieties of tomatoes, as always, he grew the Dutch dense cream Inkas, Kaspar Polskiy, Kibitz. With good watering and three feeding with chicken droppings, I got an amazing harvest: up to a bucket from a bush per season! True, abundant watering led to the fact that in July and August, many tomato fruits were affected by top rot. Therefore, the beds with these varieties had to be mulched with dry humus mixed with sifted ash. The decoration of my collection - tall, mid-late varieties of tomatoes. The main ones are the Brazilian Giant, Triton and Raspberry Bison (Raspberry Dessert). I have been growing the Brazilian tomato variety for ten years now, selecting the earliest and largest for seeds every season. As a result of natural selection, she began to receive fruits weighing more than one and a half kg, strong and beautiful. Triton has its own story. Several years ago I came to Yenakiyevo to see the famous gardener Mikhail Leontievich Flom. Opening the nursery gate, I froze in admiration: a solid two-meter-high wall stretched all the way to the office, from the ground to the tops densely covered with fruits - from green to deep red. The stems are straight, thick, like a three-year-old cherry. It turned out that he smuggled the seeds of this handsome tomato with strawberries. Since then, I have grown the Triton tomato variety every year. This tomato is not afraid of either heat or coolness. But to get such beauty, he needs to be fed regularly. The first time - pour a handful of humus into the hole and half a glass of ash. Water well. Second feeding - in three weeks, when the seedlings take root. Then water weekly until the coma is completely saturated. If you want to get selected fruits and a large harvest, you can do this: insert a two-liter bottle with a cut bottom half the height under the root. Be sure to fill the neck with sand or, better, small pebbles, and pour there from a glass of ash mixed with fertilizers. The deeper you insert the neck into the ground, the more “targeted” your feeding will be. In this case, do not forget to pinch the bushes. Since this summer was very dry and hot, it was often necessary to shake the bushes to disperse the pollen, and to arrange sprinkling on especially hot days. My favorite tomato varieties - Raspberry dessert, taken out many years ago from the Akhtubinskaya floodplain near Astrakhan. The first tomatoes - dark cherry color, very sweet and aromatic, were no more than 300 grams and ripened not earlier than the end of August. But the owner, from whom I once bought the fruits, claimed that they can reach up to 800 grams if you take good care of them. And I began to work on them: I cut off my stepchildren in time, removed the extra, in my opinion, flower brushes, and most importantly, I formed the bush so that the fruits were on the sunny side for as long as possible. Literally in three or four years I got what I wanted: the fruits of tomatoes from specially selected seeds became larger and began to ripen much earlier. Today I cannot praise enough raspberry dessert tomatoes - instead of August, we eat them already in July, and the weight of individual specimens reaches a kilogram. Very fleshy, fragrant, they have become a real table decoration. There are also exotic tomatoes in my collection: American Delicacy, Melon. Anna German, Heart of Ashgabat, Peach, In Memory of Korneev, Super Star and many others. All of them with their own character, require certain experience, knowledge and patience to care for them. Tomato varieties. Thirty years of experience in the country has taught me to be careful when choosing varieties of vegetables and flowers. There were especially many mistakes in the first years, when the main criterion was "like it or not like it" ... the name, because that is what the knowledge about the variety was limited to. There were seasons when dozens of early and ultra early fashionable varieties suddenly appeared in my garden, and I had an abundance of tomatoes in June and early July, and then the bushes dried up - and in summer and autumn I was left without tomatoes. Yes, there were many such tomatoes, but their taste was sour or sour. As a rule, the bushes of the early varieties are undersized, although the yields are quite good - up to 5-7 kg per bush. And no matter how you look after them, you cannot expect anything else - the early varieties were created to meet the first demand when tomatoes are expensive on the market. Recently, in one of the fairly well-known newspapers, I happened to read an ad of a former miner who turned into a vegetable grower: "I sell seeds of super-early, super-sweet and super large yielding tomatoes, up to 50 kg per bush." And people believe! Yes, the "super-early" bush has fewer leaves than it promises of tomatoes. They cannot be large, since they ripen in a month and a half. Sweet too, because in May and June they do not have time to reach the required amount of temperatures for sugar to form in them. Therefore, if you want early tomatoes, buy Anna, Irishka, Wash, Legionnaire, Rankovy, Ephemer and the like in the amount necessary for your family in order to quench the first tomato thirst. As a rule, these tomatoes weigh 40-50 g, the most valuable are up to 100 g. Tomatoes varieties. These tomato varieties should not be afraid of low temperatures, they do not require a garter and regular feeding, are easy to care for and water. But you shouldn't expect any "super-qualities" from them either. If possible, purchase varieties of early-medium ripening periods, such as Arizona, Sabrina, Shchedrin. Juno, Flora, Tamina, etc. From such an assortment you can always deduce yourself by natural selection what suits you best. So, Arizona from an early variety has long become early-middle and just average. You should also have at least a third of the entire collection of such varieties. " But in no case do not give up the well-known Dutch large cream - Kaspar, Consul, Inkas, Red Hunter and ours like Lagidny, Rubin and the like. Totzhe Inkas or Kaspar, giving you the first fruits in early June, will delight you in July and until mid-August, depending on the care and weather. But don't give up if your beloved tomato variety- and large, and sweet, and fruitful - ripens only in August, and you want to have it a little earlier. I had such a story a few years ago, when real pearls - Raspberry Dessert and Triton - got into the collection. They delighted me with their size, aroma and taste, but they started to ripen too late - at the end of August. And I wanted it earlier! I understand that nature cannot be defeated, and yet ... Several especially powerful bushes took under their vigilant control. Immediately after the ovary on the first hands, plucked "extra", the smallest fruits, leaving no more than three or four. Then I cut off the leaves under these brushes, and later removed those that shaded the fruit from the sun from the west and south. And, of course, top dressing. It is best to insert a two-liter plastic mineral water bottle with the neck down, deeper under the bush. So that the top dressing does not pour out immediately, but seeps out slowly, put three or four pieces of gravel in the neck and cover it with a glass of ash. Everything! Now dilute the chicken manure solution, and pour it every two weeks. Watering - once a week, in the evening. Today, I have both the Siberian Early and Raspberry Bison with Raspberry Dessert, like Triton, for the most part ripen at the height of summer. So, the main part of the collection should be medium and late varieties of tomatoes. It is to them that you can make increased demands: both in weight, and in yield, and in taste. These are old varieties of tomatoes such as Mikado, Cardinal, Miracle of the earth, Kabardinsky, Ogorodnik, Novichok, Volgogradets. Please note: not Volgograd, which has outlived itself, sour and medium in size, but Volgograd - large, sweet, tied in several pieces on one brush, like Novichok or Ogorodnik. Some conclusions. New, rare, exotic varieties it is necessary to have it on the site in order to please your soul and loved ones. But they require increased care, experience and knowledge above average. But what if you come to the site only on Saturday and Sunday, and your land has not been fertilized for a long time? It's OK. Both the Giant Novikova and the Giant (like the Memory of Korneev and Super Star) will still yield a harvest, because they are very good. When forming a collection, one should not forget about the varieties-workers: Bulgarian, Bulgarian rose, Dneprovsky dawns and similar amateur varieties. Don't forget about Tarasenko's hybrids, which have outlived their creator a lot. It is worth mentioning the so-called "long-playing" tomatoes: Long Keeper, Giraffe, Masterpiece, Merane. Very often they want to buy all these varieties at once. But why? They have one peculiarity: they are sown in open ground no earlier than May. They ripen themselves quietly all summer. They are collected in late autumn, just before the frosts and sent either to a cold, frost-free veranda, or to the very bottom of the refrigerator. The fruits remain pale pink with yellowness throughout the winter, although in the context they resemble a ripe watermelon. Of course, it's nice to decorate a New Year's salad with them, but that's all. Advertisements.

This is the only way I expect. I know that in the greenhouse my tomatoes will ripen until September 15th. I want to have a crop that is ripe on the vine, therefore I plant medium-early or mid-season in February - so that the seedlings have 60 days from germination. I plant ultra-early ones in the ground and for seedlings at the end of March. And if it doesn't matter what kind of tomatoes there are - red or frost-bitten, then you can not look at the dates.

Factors influencing the choice of the variety

Usually I buy the same ripening periods, and even look for early ripening ones. Because I live in central Russia, the weather is unpredictable. In some years it is damp and cold; after August 5, you have to harvest all the green tomatoes for ripening in boxes. This past summer we had a tropical heat, an unprecedented harvest of tomatoes was. And in my open field they grow. you have to hurry. I sow all at once, in March, then I dive and keep at home in an apartment until the beginning of June, when I’m already taking me to my dacha. The varieties are different, I like the oblong look. not high type Kaspar, old Raketa, Shuttle. Large-fruited, too, for a change, some sort of yellow-fruited. I bought different varieties, as always. Mazarin - I will sow my seeds.

Quite often, when choosing tomatoes for planting, many immediately pay attention to their taste, and only then to how they bear fruit, how resistant to disease and frost. Since taste is very important to tomatoes, we have compiled a list of the sweetest varieties:

Friend;

• Sugar plum;Biysk rose tree;
• Low-growing (determinant) tomatoes are preferred by owners of small home-made greenhouses and film greenhouses. It is easier to care for them, since there is no need to build high trellises, and some plants can easily support their own weight and do not require a garter at all.Photo of tomatoes affected by late blight

Not everyone knows that there are different varieties of tomatoes - for a greenhouse and for open ground. Some of them grow and bear fruit well in any conditions, but there are also those who feel worse without shelter, and this affects the harvest.

• I look, too, I pay attention to which leaf the first flower brush is laid, I plant 1 batch of the number 10 then 15 then 20 and 25 about this, of course, in March and then gradually dive in the same wayForgive me for not being in the subject, but for me personally. From the sight of VILLAGERS, weaving at 6 am on Sunday to the dacha with one and a half meter seedlings, it breaks me into wild laughter =)))))))

Purpose and taste

• The review below will help you decide on the right choice so that the efforts spent on growing tomatoes and setting up a greenhouse do not go to waste.
• I usually do not look at the ripening period, but the height of the plant and the growth pattern. For myself, I conventionally divide tomatoes into standard, children and indets; accordingly, the age of the seedlings increases. From experience I already know when which ones to sow for seedlings, taking into account also that it is possible to plant in a greenhouse a little earlier than in open ground. And each gardener chooses a growing system that is acceptable to him; I, for example, abandoned the early ones in favor of greenhouse children and Indets ...
• I always pay attention to this. I try to buy early ripe ones, because our summer is short and late blight is already raging in August due to low night temperatures and high humidity.
• Late varieties, logically, should be sown earlier, since they bear fruit later. But even if the varieties are early, then I sow tall first, and then undersized and standard ones. You can find out about this by reading how many days (or after which leaf) a flower brush appears. In tall people, usually later.
• Late varieties include tomatoes, the fruits of which ripen after
• In second place are the yellow tomatoes "Dina". They taste great both raw and salted. The yield of this variety is 4 kg per bush.

• According to experienced summer residents, the best varieties of low-growing tomatoes for greenhouses are:
• ... Of course, most of us are guided by our own taste. Some people like large, fleshy and sweet varieties, others prefer smaller and sour ones. But you also need to decide on the purpose of the harvest - it will only go for seasonal use, for the production of juices and other winter preservation, or for sale.
• Choosing the best variety is the first step to a good harvest
• Required. How could it be otherwise?
• Be sure to pay attention to what sort of ripening speed. In our country, the late ones may not ripen at all, and the ultra-early ones will not get sick with late blight, but it is necessary to plant it when the ground comes up and prevent the seedlings from stretching out.
• Of course at the same time. If you plant even the early ones later, then nothing good will come of them.

120 days from the moment the bulk of the seedlings appears. Among these varieties:

• There are other, no less important for some gardeners, criteria for choosing tomatoes grown in a greenhouse. For example, the height and type of the bush, the size of the fruit, the rate of ripening. Let's move on to a specific choice from the assortment that domestic breeders offer today.
• How does a beginner choose seeds? He goes to the counter, takes a packet with the cutest picture in his opinion and reads the information on the back. In the best case, it consults with the seller.
• Yes of course! I take it early
• I would like to draw you. I'm looking for this magic word Early ripe. If mid-ripening or late-ripening plants. They already seem dangerous to me - I can't wait for the harvest.This usually happens with eggplants and peppers.

• As a rule, the price of seeds does not depend on the variety, and it is not so high as to pay attention to it. It is much more important to navigate by the type of bushes, ripening rate and other parameters.
• But this approach does not always justify itself, because any image can be applied to the package, the instructions for growing are very scarce and uninformative, and the seller is not necessarily a specialist.
• Of course
• Lately it worries me in the last place - THE IMPORTANT IS THAT THE TOMATOES ARE DELICIOUS !! ! For this, I am ready to put up with even late ripening! Although I have not seen such a thing on sale, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place ?? ?
• Late-ripening varieties are sown earlier, they have a longer period before fruiting, even look at the bag, after what time the first harvest is harvested.

• If you have a nice, spacious and tall greenhouse, it is best to plant tall bushes in it. They give a bountiful harvest and can bear fruit until late autumn.
• Therefore, it is necessary to determine in advance for yourself the criteria for choosing the right variety of tomatoes and select them, focusing on the opinion of experienced vegetable growers and studying the issue from all sides. Let's try to help you with this.

I definitely look, this is the main condition for buying, only early varieties.

Ripening rate

Of all this assortment, only one is medium-late - Magnus, but I will not refuse him for any gingerbreads, very tasty and fruitful ... and the rest are early and mid-season. there is one more feature - not all manufacturers write reliable information on the bags - we draw conclusions! !

On February 7, she sowed tall, large-fruited. There are already leaves.

• "Giraffe";
• Not so long ago, breeders have bred the newest hybrids for open ground - ultra-early ripening. These are indispensable varieties for regions with harsh climates. The harvest of such varieties can be harvested as early as three months after planting the seeds. These hybrids include:
• Samara.
• Red cherry;
• But such large fruits are not suitable for canning with your own hands, for this it is better to choose medium-sized tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.
• Asteroid;
• To make the plants take up less space and receive more light, they are formed into one stem and tied to supports.

So, think about what is most important to you:

I try to grow tomatoes very early, early maturing and mid-early. The main reason is to protect against late blight. It seems that I am already taking preemptive actions, but there is still fear (apprehension) from the year when the entire crop was lost in a week.

Rather, you need to look at what type of variety - for example, Arletta - indeterminate -
February 14 Wed-late. Come up. I will sow early varieties of tomatoes on March 6.

I buy all the seeds at different ripening periods, that is, early, medium, late, so that I can get the harvest at different times. That is, radishes, carrots, beets, cucumbers, tomatoes, dill. ... I sow everything at the same time, for example tomatoes in March, radishes in April. The seeds themselves have a different ripening period, why else sow them at different times? To get the harvest at the same time? But I need a harvest from spring to October. We eat the early one earlier, and there later varieties grow. The latest are for winter storage.

I buy only early ripening tomatoes for two reasons: they are not affected by late blight, and our summer is short, and I sow seeds in open ground (without seedlings). I buy early and mid-ripening cucumbers to have fresh cucumbers longer, and not all salt at once ...

... The soil in the greenhouse is especially susceptible to the accumulation of pathogens of such diseases dangerous for tomatoes as mosaic or late blight. You can get rid of them, but for this it is necessary to change all the soil in the greenhouse every year and carry out disinfection. If for some reason this is not possible, you should choose a tomato variety for the greenhouse that resists disease well.

Usually summer residents prefer

early varieties

tomatoes - such a crop has a great benefit in the form of a high cost. But late-ripening tomato varieties, characterized by a sweet aromatic taste and meatiness, also have their advantages.

The time interval from planting seeds to ripening is called the growing season. The ripening period for late-ripening tomato varieties lasts more than 120 days.

For example, the late-ripening variety Giraffe ripens from 140 to 160 days, the Bovine heart from 125 to 132 days, and the Titan begins to bear fruit only 130 days after planting.

The fruits of late planting of tomatoes are the most delicious.

The tomato plant is thermophilic, needs sun, regular watering and care, and is sensitive to temperature imbalances.

Some varieties of late tomatoes are frost-resistant.

Late-ripening tomato varieties

Late-ripening tomatoes are more indeterminate due to their endless growth. These varieties are tall and can reach two meters or more in height:

• The Giraffe variety reaches a height of 1.8 meters or more;
• De Barao Giant is a vigorous bush, reaching 4 meters in height;
• Cosmonaut Volkov stretches up to 2 meters in height;

Among the late-ripening varieties of tomatoes, you can also find the determinant type, characterized by low bushes and limiting their growth:

• Rio grande variety - reaches from 0.7 to 1 meter;
• Titanium grows up to 40 cm.

For growing determinant varieties, open soil conditions are preferred. Tall tomato varieties and hybrids are usually planted in greenhouses.

Planting of late varieties in the soil begins in the middle of the summer period, at the very peak of the heat. To root the roots, you need to provide the tomatoes with a strong root system to help them survive on hot summer days. By the time the heat subsides, they can already begin to bloom. Seedlings for late-ripening tomatoes should be sown from February 20 to May 10. Seedlings for tomatoes planned to be grown in

greenhouse

in April, should be sown during the planting seasons in February.

When planting, it is necessary to adhere to the usual procedure as with seeds planted in spring.Before sowing seedlings, you should take care of good lighting, air ventilation and a constant temperature. For sowing tomatoes, plastic containers are used that have special drainage holes at the bottom. It is not recommended to sow tomato seeds too thickly - this is fraught with the presence of thinned and sluggish seedlings. If seedlings are germinated for growing in a greenhouse, then sowing should be done in rows, which will allow you to use them in full force lighting. After all, growing in a greenhouse implies full sunlight from morning to evening.

Care features

To produce a decent harvest, you must adhere to the rules for caring for tomatoes:

Regularly take measures to combat parasites, loosen the soil and feed it, remove unnecessary stepsons in time.

To maintain the air-water and temperature balance of the fruits, the soil in the beds should not overgrow with a crust. To do this, it is enough to cover the soil with humus, straw or peat.

A couple of weeks after planting tomatoes on a garden bed, they need to be fed with the following solution: 10 g of ammonium nitrate mineral fertilizer and 15 g of superphosphate chemical fertilizer are diluted in 10 liters of water.

After the appearance of the first ovaries, tomatoes are treated with 10 g of ammonium nitrate and 15 g of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water.

In obtaining an excellent harvest, a concentrate from organic fertilizers in the form of poultry manure and water is important.

Tomato mini-rating

Late-ripening tomato varieties are characterized by lower yields than early- and mid-ripening varieties. However, their fruits are especially juicy, fleshy and fragrant in smell and taste. They come in different shapes and masses: from small to giants, from light to very heavy. Late tomatoes can be grown without the use of seedlings - the seeds are sown directly into the soil in a permanent place. Some varieties of late-ripening tomatoes are strong against various diseases: verticillosis, fusarium, cladosporium. Late tomato hybrids have good resistance to nematode, tobacco mosaic virus, cladosporium, fusarium and other diseases.

Ripe fruits of late-ripening tomatoes are endowed with excellent keeping quality for a long time, good transportability and shade tolerance.
