The tomato belongs to the mid-season varieties of nightshade. From the time of sprouting to the ripening of the fruit, only 110–120 days pass. This variety is classified as an indeterminate plant type. The tomato bush continues to grow throughout the entire period that the plant exists, from germination to ripening. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out pinching and periodic gartering of bushes.
For gartering, it is necessary to install a rigid rod to which the fruits are tied using an elastic band. Stepsoning is the removal of excess stepsons that do not take part in fruiting, but at the same time need minerals, thereby reducing the productivity of the entire bush. In addition, without this procedure, the fruits themselves grow small.
The bush itself can be formed into one or two stems. But before you do this, you need to read the advice of experts and look at reviews from gardeners. In addition, they will help you decide on feeding or find out additional information and tips that are important when growing this variety of tomatoes.

How to grow seedlings?
Seeds are sown two months before the intended planting at the main place of their germination. Sowing is done in a large container, where they sprout and grow until one or two leaves are formed. Germination time should be no more than a week. After the leaves have formed, the seedlings are planted in separate pots so that their root system is formed and strengthened.
If the area for planting tomatoes is in open ground, then the seedlings need to be gradually adapted to the environment where they will grow and bear fruit. To do this, they are taken outside for several hours.
Seedlings are planted depending on how the bush is planned. If it grows in one stem, then four seedlings can be planted per square meter. In the case where one stem is planned, there should be three seedlings per square meter.
Plants should not be planted densely, because in this case the fruits will be small, and in addition, the yield itself will be significantly lower. In addition, tomatoes should never be planted next to potatoes. The stems need to be treated against pests and various diseases, such as late blight.
