Harden off before planting in the ground. Seedlings should be placed at a distance of 0.5 meters from each other, and at least 1 meter should be left between rows.
Tomato does not require special care, but to get a better harvest it is recommended:
- water the tomatoes with warm water as needed;
- regularly weed and loosen the soil;
- organize the garter on three levels, using trellises and brush holders as support;
- feed the plant at least 4 times during the summer season. Tomatoes do not like chemical fertilizers; you should use chicken manure and alternate it with crushed chalk or ash.
Tomatoes bear fruit before frost begins. At the first harbingers of cold weather, the plant is dug up, transferred to a warm room and hung upside down with its roots. In such conditions, the berries ripen safely, and the harvest period increases by 1.5-2 months.
