There is a wide variety of tomato varieties. Among the early ripening varieties, the Money Bag tomato is popular. The variety is characterized by high yield and is not affected by late blight, which allows you to get a healthy and large harvest in a short period of time.
Variety information
Money bag is an early ripening variety. According to the information on the packaging, 90–100 days pass from germination to fruit ripening. Due to their rapid ripening, these tomatoes do not suffer from late blight, as they simply do not fall into the midst of an epidemic. Losses from the disease are minimized.The germination rate of the variety reaches 97%.
The description of the variety indicates that this tomato is indeterminate - this means that the growth process does not stop throughout the year. As a result, the bush reaches a height of 180 cm. The fruits are formed on the clusters. There can be up to 7 clusters on one stem, each of which ripens up to 15 fruits. The tomato does not crack. The harvest is consistent, which allows you to harvest large quantities of tomatoes. The characteristics of the variety suggest its tying and pinching.
The fruits are round in shape, weighing up to 100 g. The color is red. It can be used for salads, for preparing other dishes, and for canning.
This versatility in use is an advantage for those who grow tomatoes in the country for themselves. Due to its small size it is suitable for canning as a whole. High yield allows you to get 10 -11 kg of tasty fruits from 1 sq. m.
Nuances of planting and caring for the variety
Tomatoes are supposed to be planted with seedlings that are 60-65 days old. To obtain seedlings, seeds treated in potassium permanganate are planted a couple of centimeters deep. The soil should be fertile and light. After the first true leaves appear, the seedlings are transplanted into a large container.
The planting rate is 4 plants per square meter. If the greenhouse has a heating system, then seedlings can be planted in April. May is more suitable for open ground and unheated greenhouses. A week before planting, the plant begins to harden - this makes the tomato easier to adapt to. Seedlings can be planted in open ground or in a film greenhouse. Since the variety differs in height, the plants should be tied up. This can be done vertically or horizontally.
Further care consists of regular watering and loosening the soil. Access to oxygen to the roots of the plant is important, so loosening must be done regularly. It is recommended to use “Aelita - Vegetable” fertilizers as a top dressing, which contain minerals necessary for growth.
Feeding is needed 2-3 times during the entire growing season. To grow healthy tomatoes, it is necessary to carry out weeding. You cannot water plants with cold water - this will negatively affect their growth and development.
