But there are also some nuances here.
Important to remember! Ultra-early varieties are suitable for growing in greenhouses. Otherwise, in our strip in open ground, they may die during night frosts.
Both ultra-early and mid-early varieties are grown from seedlings. To do this, the seeds are first planted in containers, the soil in which is fertilized and moistened and placed in a warm place. To speed up the growth process, you can cover the containers with glass, periodically lifting the glass and removing condensation. When real 2-3 leaves appear on the seedlings, they are picked into separate pots.
Then they wait until the seedlings grow and get stronger, periodically moisten them and harden them. For hardening, it is necessary to gradually take the pots with seedlings out into the open air. First for 1-2 hours, gradually increasing the time to a whole day. Plants can be planted in open soil when the seedlings have been outside for at least a day.
Before planting in open ground, the holes are first prepared. They are placed mainly in a checkerboard pattern. The holes must be watered and fertilized with natural humus.
During the growth process, seedlings must be watered periodically. For these purposes, a drip irrigation system is used. Tomatoes are drought-resistant plants and do not like excess moisture, so the main thing is not to overdo it with watering, everything should be in moderation.
It is also necessary to regularly remove weeds and loosen the soil. Feeding can be done no more than once every three weeks.
