A considerable number of vegetable growers are engaged in growing early varieties of tomatoes. One of the most famous varieties of such tomatoes is the Sweet Tooth tomato. This variety is quite versatile as it can be grown both in greenhouses and on the streets.
Short description
Before you start growing Sweet Tooth, you should familiarize yourself with its distinctive features. The characteristics and description of the variety will help you learn a lot of useful information about it.
Slastena refers to early-ripening tomatoes, which manage to fully ripen one and a half months after planting young seedlings in the soil. Under good conditions, bushes can grow up to one and a half meters, so it is recommended to tie them to special supports that will prevent the bushes from breaking. Sweet Tooth also needs stepsoning. To get a good harvest, you should form a plant with 2-3 stems.
Ripe tomatoes have a round shape and a bright red color. Their weight is not too large and is only 100-150 grams. They have excellent taste, which is why they are often used in cooking. Tomatoes are often used to make canned food and various vegetable salads.
Sweet tooth has a good yield, as evidenced by reviews from people who previously grew it. You can harvest more than 5 kilograms of tomatoes from one plant.
Sowing seeds
Sweet Tooth seeds are planted for growing seedlings in early spring, so that after two months you can start planting plants in the garden.
Preparation of planting material
In order for the seeds to grow better, they should be prepared in advance for planting. To do this, you need to soak them in a manganese solution. All planting material is wrapped in fabric and placed in a container with solution. After an hour, they are taken out, washed with water and dried.
You can also speed up the growth process in other ways. For example, instead of potassium permanganate, you can use boric acid, copper sulfate or aloe juice.
Soil preparation
It is recommended to plant seeds in previously prepared soil. To do this, you can use land purchased in a special store.Such soil will be ready for use, since it contains all the necessary components.
However, you can prepare the soil yourself. To do this, the turf soil is mixed with some peat and sand. All this is thoroughly mixed and poured into containers for planting seeds.
Planting
It is recommended to plant tomatoes in small peat pots, as they will then be easier to transplant into the garden. To begin with, small grooves one centimeter deep are made in the ground. Then seeds are planted in them and covered with soil. After planting, the containers with tomatoes are covered with film and transferred to a lighted room for further germination.
Planting seedlings
It is recommended to transplant tomatoes into the garden two and a half months after planting the seeds to grow seedlings.
Site selection
Before you start planting tomatoes, you should choose the most suitable area for this. You should not choose a place where plants previously infected with a particular disease grew. It is best to plant tomatoes in places where cabbage or cucumbers previously grew.
Also, the area for tomatoes should be well lit, since such plants love light.
Landing
Planting seedlings begins with preparing the holes. They are created at a distance of about 45-50 cm from each other. The depth of each hole should not be less than 10 cm. The seedlings are placed in the holes in a vertical position, covered with soil and watered with water. After this, a support for further garter should be installed near each bush.
Conclusion
Even a person who has not previously been involved in growing vegetables can plant a Sweet Tooth tomato and get a good yield.However, before doing this, you should study the recommendations for planting this variety and look at the reviews of vegetable growers who have previously planted it.
