Let's take a closer look at its description:
- When you grow vegetables yourself and invest your care and effort, you want to receive a reward for your work as soon as possible. This opportunity is provided by the June tomato variety. It is characterized by early ripening - from sowing the seeds to ripening the fruits, you need to wait only 98 to 110 days. Having planted in March, you can begin harvesting in June.
- The plant grows to only 40–50 cm, which reduces the effort and time spent on gartering and pinching it.Both novice gardeners and professionals will be pleased with these properties.
- The June tomato variety has the ability to grow equally both in open ground and in a greenhouse. This was one of the reasons for its popularity. After all, not everyone has a greenhouse on their property. The fruits are suitable both for sale and for filling your own bins.
- High yield is another feature of the variety. From one meter of area you can harvest up to 8 kilograms of crop. This takes into account the planting of bushes with a frequency of 6 to 8 pieces per unit area of soil. If you plant more often, this will affect the size of the fruits, they will be smaller, this is explained by the insufficient amount of nutrients and sunlight. Growing does not require special care, just watering and loosening the soil.
- An equally important factor is resistance to diseases that nightshades usually carry. Early ripening of fruits protects them from brown rot, which spreads to bushes bearing fruit from the end of July. This ability also saves processing labor and increases the volume of edible crops.
- Versatility of use. Harvested tomatoes are suitable for eating raw, making salads, pickles, snacks, sauces and juice.
All of the above characteristics confirm statements in favor of the June tomato. In addition, the fruits also have a number of positive features:
- almost perfect round shape;
- appetizing rich red color;
- sweet and sour taste;
- very juicy pulp;
- Suitable for eating raw or making juice from them.
What many summer residents and farmers also note is the simultaneous ripening of tomatoes. This property makes harvesting easier and saves time allocated to this process.
The weight of one fruit ranges from 80 to 130 grams, it depends on the care and growing conditions. Although the versatility of the variety has already been mentioned, it is worth noting that in greenhouse conditions the plant reaches a slightly higher height and still requires pinching.
To obtain the maximum possible yield, no more than 4 stems should be left per plant. After this, the plant feels great, bears fruit well, and the harvest ripens right on the bushes.
Life hack: it is known that the first fruits appear from a double inflorescence, they are somewhat larger than the others, these are the tomatoes that are harvested before reaching full maturity.
