Want to make Tomatoes Blush faster? Tips that our Parents also used
As far back as I can remember, tomatoes have always been grown in our country house. When I was a little girl, it seemed to me that my parents knew some secret, knew magic - but how else to explain the fact that every year in the garden and vegetable garden everything grows by leaps and bounds!
We were the first among the village who had scarlet, ripe, delicious tomatoes on the table! In fact, the parents simply knew well the biology of plants and the correct folk recipes.
And now I also know that in order for the tomatoes to turn red faster, no store-bought chemicals are required!
Speeding up the ripening of tomatoes in the open field
As soon as the brushes with the fruits are tied, I pinch the tops of the bushes, thus redirecting all the forces of plants and nutrients to the main goal - the ripening of the fruits.
At the same time as pinching, you can also remove as many leaves as possible. This, again, will not allow the bush to waste energy on maintaining the life of the green mass, and will also provide it with good ventilation and prevention of late blight.
Plus, it is recommended to reduce watering 1 month before the expected harvest. This not only promotes the ripening of tomatoes, but also ensures their high taste - they will not have sourness and wateriness.
Ash has always been known as a versatile tool in the garden for a variety of uses and crops, and it also helps speed up the reddening of tomatoes.
For this you need:
· Add 1 glass of wood ash to 10 liters of water;
Water the bushes under the root, spending about 1 liter of solution for each.
You can feed with ash only after regular watering, otherwise the root system of tomatoes will burn.
If the plans are still to give up watering for the time of the ripening of the crop, then the solution is prepared in 2 times weaker concentration and the tomatoes are sprayed with it on the leaves and fruits.
How to rush the ripening of tomatoes in the greenhouse
It is due to the fact that vegetables are in the room that it is possible for them to provide the following optimal conditions that contribute to the accelerated pouring of fruits with paints:
Air temperature within +22... 26 ° С;
· The duration of daylight hours at 15 hours.
In addition, greenhouse tomato varieties respond extremely positively to the quick harvest of the very first fruits in the current season.
They need to be plucked when they just started to turn pink - then all further formed vegetables will change color much faster.
