When planting, deepen the seeds 1 cm, water the plantings with a spray bottle, cover with film, and place in a warm room.
When shoots appear, remove the film and place the sprouts on the windowsill. Water with a spray bottle or watering can. When 2 true leaves grow, pick up the seedlings. Then fertilize with a solution of complex mineral fertilizer.
When to plant seedlings in a greenhouse? When the seedlings are 2 months old, transplant them into a greenhouse. The seedlings are planted in the place where cucumbers, legumes, cabbage, onions, and carrots previously grew.
When planting seedlings, first drive in the stakes, then place 3 to 4 bushes per 1 m². Water the seedlings. Immediately tie the bushes onto a trellis.
Care
Water 100 poods of tomato bushes in the evening with warm, well-settled water, as cold water causes tomatoes to begin to grow more slowly. Pour 1 liter of water under each bush. Water the tomatoes once a week, loosen the soil after watering. Pick off weeds and dry leaves.
Feed 3-4 times during the season. Apply nitrogen before buds open. You can feed the tomatoes, adding tbsp. spoon of ash in 1 liter of rainwater. Pour half a liter of ash water under one plant, being careful not to get it on the foliage.
When buds form, you can fertilize the bushes with humus, after watering them abundantly with water.Add 1 bucket of humus per 1 m² of soil, spreading it in a 2 cm layer, and immediately after humus, feed the bushes with the solution, pouring 10 g of Baikal into a ten-liter bucket of settled water, then pour the solution over the humus.
Instead of humus, you can make the following fertilizing: pour 1 - 2 kg of bird droppings into a ten-liter bucket of rainwater. Leave it for a week. Then dilute the fertilizer with more water in a ratio of 1:20. Pour liquid fertilizer under the root before flowering, half a liter per bush. This is a fairly intense nitrogen fertilizer.
After fruit set, feed the bushes with magnesium sulfate or superphosphate.
Leave 1 - 2 stems, tear off the rest. Be sure to remove stepsons. Every 10 days, tear off 2–3 lower leaves. To keep the tomatoes large, pick the flowers, leaving 3–4 on each bunch.
After planting, do not forget to immediately tie up the bushes, and as the fruits form, tie up the branches.
Diseases and pests
The cultivated variety is resistant to diseases, but preventive measures must be taken. Before planting seedlings, spill the soil with a solution of copper sulfate. Every year, completely change the top layer of soil in the greenhouse. Ventilate the greenhouse every day. Spray the plantings with phytosporin to prevent fungal diseases.
If the bushes are attacked by parasites, use insecticides or wash the bushes with warm water and soap, ammonia, or celandine infusion.
