Tomato Kish Mish - description and characteristics of the variety

Tomatoes in Russia are eaten year-round - in summer and autumn salads are made from fresh vegetables, and in the cold season canned tomatoes are very popular. Gardeners grow these vegetables for every taste and color. Breeders from Russia created a new type of miniature tomato, reminiscent of cherry tomatoes, and called it Kish Mish. This name was given to vegetables because a bunch of small fruits sitting on a branch is very similar to large grapes.

3. The temperature should not fall below 20 degrees.
4. Seedlings need constant light, so it is advisable to illuminate them with fluorescent lamps.
5. Watering should be carried out every day.

If the recommendations are followed, then the sprouts will hatch after 5-6 days. After the appearance of the third leaf, it is already possible to pick. 7-10 days before planting on the site, it is recommended to harden the seedlings so that the seedlings become strong.

Reviews

1. Victoria Sergeevna, 55 years old: Planted a variety of Kishmish last year. These tomatoes need to be carefully considered. The optimal result is obtained if the bush is formed into one stem. Tomatoes of this variety require mandatory pinching and tying brushes. Otherwise, the bush may break and fall. Kishmish is poured and fed in the same way as other solanaceous. By the fall, a good harvest was obtained. Each bush gave a little more than five kilograms of tomato. Since the variety is thermophilic and a little moody, the temperature fluctuations are not for him - they tolerate them poorly. It is better to grow it in a greenhouse under a film.Tomatoes are very tasty and sweet, with a honey flavor. They made delicious salads and several cans of salting. In the next season, I will definitely allocate a small section for the raisin in the greenhouse.
2. Anastasia, 43 years old: I would like to share my opinion and impressions about tomatoes brand sultana. Planted and grown to please the child - during a birthday celebration one of the decorations on the table was a tomato salad. The variety is moody and very demanding. He loves that the land is constantly fed, requires constant cultivation and weeds. Necessarily need support for support and the bush needs to be tied up, otherwise the crop will be bad - rare and small. I know from experience that the bush should be in one stem - this should be taken into account when forming. Although it’s difficult to grow tomatoes, vigilant attention and care is required, but the quality of the crop pays for everything. Tomatoes are small, smooth, rounded and taste like honey. They are stored for a long time, eating fresh vegetables until the first days of October. I rolled up several cans before the new harvest. I know that next year I’ll plant more.
