The nuances of growing tomatoes Lazy Dream
Those who have grown this variety say that seedlings should first be grown at home, and only then planted under a film cover or in greenhouses.
Seeds are planted in containers from mid-January to the end of March. Planting and caring for seedlings should be carried out in the same way as seedlings of other tomatoes. Just to ensure that the seedlings do not stretch upward due to the short daylight hours, fluorescent lamps are installed above the boxes with seedlings. In this case, young plants will grow strong and will not grow too much.
It is better to sow seeds rarely, so that you do not have to pick up the seedlings in the future. After planting, seedlings appear within a week and a half. The room temperature should be maintained at +15 C. Until the seedlings are planted in greenhouses, they should be fed several times with complex fertilizers. Watering should be done moderately - as the top layer of soil dries.
Grown seedlings can be planted in greenhouses in mid-April. Harvesting is carried out depending on the planting of seedlings in a permanent place - from early June to early September. Those who planted the variety in a greenhouse say that special care for the plants is not required - you need to water it in a timely manner, loosen it, remove weeds and feed it 2-3 times a season. Reviews about this variety are generally positive; those who planted these tomatoes continue to do so from season to season.
