How to grow
The tomato variety "Flyashentomaten" is quite easy to grow. As mentioned above, it is suitable for both growing in a greenhouse and in open ground.
Before you start planting seeds, you should carefully inspect them. They should not have a single defect (to ensure the accuracy of the result, you should look at the description of the appearance of the seeds). Otherwise, they may not germinate.
Many experienced gardeners strongly recommend soaking the seeds for half a day before planting until they swell for better growth.Containers of 500 milliliters are perfect for primary seedlings. Important! Do not under any circumstances allow the soil to become waterlogged.
Seedlings should be started 90-120 days before planting in the ground. In the southern regions this should be done in early March. In central Russia - at the end of April. The first harvest will begin to appear 100-110 days after seedlings.
The “Flyashentomaten” bush is quite tall, and on the branches the fruits are arranged in clusters of several pieces. In this regard, it is necessary to tie it to a support, otherwise it may fall from the slightest gust of wind. It is recommended to grow the bush with one, maximum two stems. You will also need to prun the bush.
You should water abundantly, but be sure to monitor the weather. If the summer was not very hot, then you should not moisten the soil too much. In hot weather, watering should be done every two or three days (depending on temperature and humidity level).
This variety is very resistant to most types of diseases. Many recommend preventive treatment of seeds against fungal and viral diseases. Like many other plants, “Flyashentomaten” is susceptible to such a destructive disease as late blight. If you have discovered signs of this infection, then the first thing you need to do is reduce the amount of watering, and also ventilate the bushes if they grow in greenhouse conditions.
Important! You can water “Flyashentomaten” tomatoes exclusively with warm water. Otherwise, there is a high probability of infection with fungal diseases and the death of all seedlings.
We should not forget about fertilizing the bush. In order for it to produce maximum yield, fertilizers with a high content of potassium and calcium will be required. Both of these substances stimulate the growth of the bush and also protect it from many diseases.

To summarize, we can say that unpretentiousness with a rich harvest is a good description of the “Flyaschentomaten” variety.
