Gardeners prefer to plant low-growing plants in open ground. The short tomato Generosity pleases with a bountiful harvest in July. The fruits are suitable for salads and slicing. Summer residents process the leftovers into canned goods.
Attractive Generosity
In the middle zone, early-ripening tomatoes are grown in open ground. The rest are affected by late blight. The harvest is lost.
Plant characteristics:
- ripens early (from loops to fruits 90 days);
- bush limited in growth (maximum height 50 cm), determinate;
- Generosity is not prone to increasing green mass;
- leaves are bright green, medium size;
- the first brush is formed after the 7th leaf, then after 1 leaf;
- 4 brushes are tied on each stem;
- With proper agricultural technology, it is possible to get 8 kg/m² of fruit.
The variety attracts gardeners with its strong immunity. Tomatoes do not suffer from septoria blight, stemphylliosis, macrosporiosis, or verticillium blight.
Tomato variety Generosity gives fruit together. Early ripening “leads” the variety away from late blight. Gardeners use the vacated beds to grow green salads, early radishes, and arugula.
What are the merits of the fruits of Generosity?
Value of the variety: tomatoes ripen early and have a universal purpose. They are delicious fresh (whole), in salads, or sliced. The skin of the fruit does not crack during heat treatment.
Description of tomatoes:
- average weight up to 80 g;
- green fruits - light green;
- ripe - bright red;
- slight depression at the stalk;
- absence of spots on the stalk;
- the fruits have a regular round shape;
- the skin is dense;
- 6 seed chambers with small grains;
- the pulp is juicy (dry matter - 4%);
- taste sour (sugar content 2.5%);
- Rich, “tomato” aroma.
Gardeners have noticed: the taste of Generosity depends on the amount of heat and light. In cool summers, tomatoes are sour and drier.
Tomatoes are transported to the place of sale or processing without loss of marketability. Ripe fruits remain fresh in the refrigerator for 3 weeks, in room conditions - for a week.
Advice from agronomists on growing
To obtain a good harvest, it is necessary to comply with the requirements of agricultural technology. Agronomists advise:
- Seedlings should be planted between March 25 and April 10;
- sow in furrows every 2–4 cm;
- bury the seeds 1–1.5 cm;
- moisten with a solution from a spray bottle potassium humate;
- sprinkle with soil on top and press down;
- soil temperature before biting is 20–25 degrees C;
- after germination, reduce the temperature to 18 degrees C;
- provide 16–18 hours of daylight;
- it is necessary to ventilate the plants;
- feed twice with the seedling complex;
- plant in open ground at the end of May (after returning cold weather) under film;
- accustom the seedlings to bright light for 3–5 days;
- fill the beds with mature compost in the fall;
- in the spring, add potassium-phosphorus fertilizers to the soil (prepare it yourself or buy ready-made mixtures);
- plant according to the pattern 40 cm X 60 cm;
- spray with a growth stimulator for better adaptation;
- at first, shade the plantings from the bright sun;
- organize drip irrigation to optimize water consumption;
- mulch the ground (to preserve moisture and loose structure).
You need to choose a well-lit place. It should be remembered: in the heat, flower pollen is sterilized. The ovaries stop forming. Plantings need to be shaded.
The Generosity tomato is included in the State Register of Vegetable Crops of the Russian Federation for the North Caucasus District. Recommended for outdoor cultivation in private gardens and private plots. In regions with a long warm period, gardeners sow tomatoes directly into the ground.
What do gardeners think?
Gardeners share information about the Generosity tomato. They give good reviews. Gardeners like: ripening period, universal use of fruits, unpretentiousness of the plant, good immunity, transportability. The friendly ripening of the tomatoes deserved excellent marks. The ridges have time to prepare for the next season.
Displeasure is caused by the sour taste and unevenness of the berries. But when canning, these disadvantages become unimportant: it is easier to fill containers with small fruits, the acid is hidden by adding sugar.
