Agrotechnical features of cultivation
Before planting in the ground, seedlings are prepared at home. In March, seeds are sown in containers for germination, watered with warm water and covered with film. When the seeds hatch, the film is removed and the seedlings are placed in a sunny place for further growth. Ksyusha responds well to soil fertilized with organic matter, moderate watering and care.
It is advisable to plant seedlings in beds where garlic, carrots, dill, parsley, cucumbers or cauliflower grew last season. Scheme for planting plants in the garden bed: 50 by 40 centimeters.
Caring for tomato beds
In order to get an excellent harvest of ripe and healthy tomatoes in the future, you need to properly care for the plants.
- Watering plants.
- Weeding and loosening the beds.
- Gartering and thinning bushes.
- Identification of diseases.
- Feeding with minerals and organic matter.
During the entire growing process, the characteristics of the bush require garter. This is done so that the heavy brushes do not break off under the weight of the tomatoes, and the plant does not fall to the ground. Tomatoes are demanding when it comes to watering, fertilizing and weeding. After each irrigation, the soil must be loosened to retain moisture for a long time. During the season, the soil is fertilized at least three times.
Weeding is an important condition for growth; if there is a large amount of weeds, all the fertilizers will go into the weeds, leaving no food for the tomatoes. You also need to monitor the condition of the bushes and fruits. If a disease is detected, immediately take measures to destroy the virus or fungus.

When cultivated in an open garden bed, the variety resisted late blight and other equally dangerous diseases. The bushes have not grown. I only picked off the lower leaves for better ripening. Now I recommend this variety to all my friends.”
