The Sweet Girl tomato, a recently bred hybrid, has already earned recognition among experienced vegetable growers. The advantages of tomatoes include early ripening, uniform fruiting, high yield, and versatility in the use of fruits.
Sweet girl as the best of the varieties
The hybrid variety of sweet tomatoes is characterized by early ripening. After just 95 days in a greenhouse or under film, 100 days in open ground you can get a decent harvest of tasty small tomatoes. The main characteristics of the Sweet Girl fruits include:
- oblong-oval shape;
- thin, smooth skin;
- dense pulp with a high percentage of dry matter;
- sugar content;
- weight about twenty grams;
- excellent transportability;
- long-term storage.
To preserve the sweet taste of the fruits, they are picked sufficiently ripe when their color turns red. Up to half a kilogram of tomato is harvested from one bush.
Characteristics of tomatoes
The hybrid is classified as a determinant, which reaches a height of just under a meter. Slightly leafy bushes have large, dark green leaves. The compact plant forms complex clusters containing up to eighteen ellipsoidal fruits of bright color.
Due to the duration of fruiting, tomatoes are grown for decorative purposes. They are planted in flowerpots and pots on balconies. In mid-summer, more than three kilograms of sweets are obtained from one square meter of plantings, which are beneficial to the body.
They choose low-growing hybrids for cultivation because they do not require pinching or tying, they feel great under film covers, in small greenhouses.
Determinant in a greenhouse: growing features
It is in greenhouse soil that it is easy and convenient to grow the Sweet Girl hybrid. With proper care and due to biological characteristics, bushes produce rich harvests.
In the northern regions, in greenhouses the plant will take up minimal space. All types of determinants are characterized by independent regulation of their growth. The fruit cluster of the plant is formed as soon as the sixth leaf appears. Low-growing tomatoes are planted in closed ground in pre-prepared holes or grooves up to fifteen centimeters deep.
Caring for vegetable crops consists of:
- moderate watering;
- applying mineral and organic fertilizers every ten days;
- ventilating the greenhouse to create a temperature in it of no more than 25 degrees above zero;
- loosening the soil after watering.
If the greenhouse and the soil in it are prepared correctly, then tomato seedlings will easily take root and produce good yields.
