This type of tomato in terms of ripening is classified as mid-early species, because from the time of first sprouts to the time of harvesting the first crop about 105 days pass. In the context of growth in central Russia, cultivation in closed greenhouses is recommended.

How to grow?

Seeds are planted about a couple of months before the intended planting at the main place of cultivation. They can be planted both in simple small boxes and in special peat containers. Before putting seeds into the soil, the seed is treated with special means.

Sowing in primary soil is carried out at 1.5 cm depth, with additional watering using a sprayer. Then the pots are covered with a film until the first shoots appear. The initial dive is performed after the appearance of 2 leaves.

Seedlings are transferred to the main growing place only after preliminary weekly hardening. For these purposes, young seedlings are left in the fresh air for half an hour, and gradually increasing the time to 2 hours.

Before the final planting in the soil, special holes are made with the addition of complementary foods - fertilizers. Next, plants need to be regularly watered and tied. Increasing fruitfulness is achieved by regular loosening of the soil. This is done to achieve the maximum balance of the development of the root system due to the proper circulation of humidity and air.

As a result of proper care, the fruits ripen in a beautiful and regular shape. Most gardeners have already appreciated their benefits and shared their opinions.
