Grow delicious and good tomatoes on beds

If you grow tomatoes in open ground, then you need to pay attention to the following points.

To grow tomatoes in the open field less troublesome than in the greenhouse. After the tomatoes planted in the garden, I use a temporary shelter in a agrovoloknom or film.

The correct choice of varieties

The middle band - it's still a zone of risky agriculture, so choose varieties of tomatoes are resistant to temperature extremes. They are well set fruit in any weather. For open ground pick undersized, determinate varieties.

These include "The Seagull", "Volgograd 5/95", "Demidov", "Fat Jack", "Little Red Riding Hood", "sturgeon" and others. A variety of grades are now large, there is plenty to choose from. Every year, I choose something new. If the variety is well-behaved shows that leave the seeds for the next year. Hybrids buy rare, because the seeds from them will not collect.

crop rotation

Proper crop rotation - the key to a rich harvest. Tomatoes are planted after good precursors (onions, carrots, cucumbers). With the fall in am making the beds and compost humus (2-3 kg per 1 m2).

Sowing in terms of timely

Sowing seeds of dwarf varieties of exhaust spend from mid-March to early April. If before sowing, the seedling grows.

The seeds are used mainly their own. I spend preplant seed treatment with potassium permanganate or chlorhexidine.

Care of seedlings

plant picks further does not do it, but once planted in large containers, followed by bedding the ground up to the drop-off in the exhaust gas. Watering realize with warm water, the soil surface is friable. I fertilize complex fertilizer with trace elements for seedlings "Fortress". By the end of May, seedlings ready for planting. Begin to tie the first buds.

Landing

Tucked since autumn beds and do dig wells for seedlings staggered circuit 40 by 50 cm from each other. Seedlings from containers pull gently, without damaging the roots. Is placed in the hole with a slight slope, fall asleep, compacted, I make a small rim for water retention and shed landing place.

You can put a hole in the 2 bush tomato. Enough for the whole family 40-50 bush tomatoes.

Events immediately after planting

After landing in the open ground plants immediately install metal railings and covered with a thick film. This cover will protect tomatoes against possible night frosts and cold winds. During the day plants need to be ventilated, so the film is necessary to slightly open from both sides of the beds. When the threat of frost has passed, covering material removed.

Care bushes during the growing season

Watering - 1-2 times a week. Mulching the cut grass surface layer. Feeding green manure and ashes every 2 weeks. Pasynkovanie and garter on the pegs.

In early August, at the top of the bushes pinch. I sprayed with iodine solution, boric acid and Trichopolum from Phytophthora. In August, the new overlay film to protect fruit from the dew and the further development of infections. In September and October (depending on weather), all the remaining fruits and dozarivayu rented house on the windowsill. Some part was stored, and then eat the whole family to the next year.
