To get a better harvest, Tomatoes are recommended to be grown in greenhouse conditions. Under suitable climate conditions, the variety successfully bears fruit in open ground conditions. The optimal planting method is seedlings.
To obtain healthy seedlings you should:
- plant seeds in containers with universal soil for tomatoes no deeper than 2 cm;
- after planting, cover containers with seedlings with film;
- maintain the room temperature at least 20 degrees;
- water regularly;
- After the first shoots appear, provide a constant source of light.
IMPORTANT! To get the best harvest, you need to form a bush of 1-2 stems.
Before planting, plants should be hardened off. When planting, the recommended pattern is 50 x 40 cm. Per 1 sq. There should not be more than four tomato bushes per meter of land. The variety is not whimsical, it requires only basic rules of care:
- watering with warm water as needed;

Gardeners' opinion
Growing tomatoes is my hobby. I recently tried the Zhenaros variety. The impression is positive. For a hybrid, the fruits have an excellent taste and are sweet. The berries are large and regular in shape. The plant bore fruit without difficulty in the Moscow region. I planted the seedlings in a greenhouse, watered them regularly, fed them 5 times, and loosened the soil. I didn’t find any shortcomings for myself.

Good afternoon! I want to share my experience of growing Zhenaros tomatoes. Medium early, grows well even on poor soils. The gloomy St. Petersburg summer did not prevent us from getting a good harvest. Stress-resistant plant, not capricious. One of the features is that it is necessary to carry out pinching; it is better to form it into one bush. The berries are large, juicy and sweet. My positive feedback to the Dutch breeders. I recommend it to all summer residents!
