How to plant?
Seeds need to be planted in containers in the first half of March. Before planting in cups, the seeds are placed on a napkin moistened with water. The napkin should lie on a plate. After a few days, the seeds will hatch and are planted in containers.
Make sure that the seedlings do not stretch due to lack of lighting. Illuminate the seedlings with fluorescent lamps. But at night, tomatoes need darkness, as chlorosis can form on the leaves. Because of this, simply lengthen the daylight hours with artificial lighting. When 1–2 true leaves grow, drop the seedlings into separate plastic cups.
Feed the seedlings 2-3 times. If the seedlings still stretch out, then use the immunostimulants Epin and Zircon as fertilizer. 10 days before planting the seedlings on the site, they are hardened off.Seedlings are planted on the site in early May.
Nuances of agricultural technology
The bushes are standard, which means that they do not need to be pinched. True, here, as the gardener decides, you can tear off later stepsons.
Standard bushes have compact roots; they do not grow very large. Such plants have a low, but powerful, erect trunk, but it is still advisable to tie it up. The roots are located close to the surface. Since the bushes are not tall, the seedlings can be planted more densely. The bushes need to be fed generously. They also loosen the soil, remove weeds, and water the plants. Tomatoes are harvested in mid-August. If tomatoes are picked unripe, they can be stored until the end of November.
Reviews about the variety are positive, so Igor from Moscow writes that he planted the variety after buying seeds from OBI. Almost all of his seeds sprouted. He placed the seedlings on the west window, where they stretched out. And when I planted it on the plot, by the end of June, clusters of tomatoes had already formed on the bushes.
The Grushka Canning variety is unpretentious; even a novice gardener can grow it.
