Flaws

Despite the fact that the bush has a compact height, it needs tying up its branches. This is due to the fact that tomato branches are not strong enough, so they can easily bend, reaching the ground with ripened fruits. Such contact with the ground negatively affects the freshness of the fruit, so gardeners need to create support structures.

Those who planted Summer Resident give feedback on the tomato that this variety is not protected from late blight. Some claim that the planted plants were affected by this disease. However, the problem occurs mainly in the area where tomatoes were affected last season.

Growing principles

This tomato variety has its own growing characteristics. When planting and caring, the following important points must be taken into account:

1. The Summer Resident variety cannot be planted in beds where peppers or potatoes were previously grown. Such plantings increase the risk of developing late blight on the bush. The best option would be those beds where beans, cabbage, carrots or onions were previously planted.
2. For growing, you need to choose an area with light soil that is highly breathable. To create optimal conditions, sand or humus can be added to the planting holes.
3. Seedlings should be planted at a distance of 40 centimeters from each other.
4. In open ground conditions, ripened seedlings can be transplanted in the first mid-May - after the end of frost.
5. Seeds for seedlings should be sown in March. It is better to select the date for sowing taking into account the recommendations of the lunar calendar. Most often, sowing is carried out 45 - 50 days before planting seedlings.
6. To increase the yield of Summer Resident tomatoes, it is recommended to use fertilizers. This variety needs 2 - 3 fertilizers per season.
7. The soil needs to be moistened regularly.The soil should not be dry, but care must be taken to ensure that excess liquid does not accumulate in the ground. To enrich the soil with oxygen after watering, it must be loosened.

If all the described recommendations are followed, the gardener will be able to grow a rich harvest that will retain all the positive characteristics of the Dachnik tomato variety.

It is worth considering that any shortcomings of this variety can be avoided by properly caring for seedlings and planted tomatoes, thoroughly cultivating and disinfecting the soil before planting.
