Before planting, fertilizers must be applied to the soil. This should be done in late autumn. Natural fertilizers such as bird droppings, wood ash are wonderful fertilizers.

Already formed seedlings are planted in the ground. Prepare it in advance, sowing seeds by the end of March, dipping them 1 cm into the substrate. After the appearance of these leaves, they are seated separately.

Before planting, you need to harden the plants, taking them out for 2-3 hours daily for a week. In the greenhouse seedlings can be planted in May. In this case, the age of the plants must be at least 2 months. You can plant on beds only after you make sure that there will be no more frosts. The plant should have more than 5 leaves and one brush. Fertilizer should be applied to each well.

Care

To get a good harvest, it is necessary to tie up the bushes, carry out their formation, water them in time, feed them and treat them against diseases.

Formation

1. Bushes are constantly growing, and therefore require formation during the season. If this is not done, the yield will be low. It is necessary to remove the stepchildren and perform tracing.
2. If the plants are well provided with nutrition, then 1 stepson is allowed to be left over the first brush. When the bush reaches a height of more than 150 cm, pinch the top. At the same time, several leaves should be left above the brush. Pinching will allow the plant to spend energy only on the fruit.

Garter
The fruits grow large, so the bush must be tied up.It is very convenient to use vertical trellises. The bush is wrapped around, and the brushes are tied separately.

Watering
Watering should be only warm water. You need to do this after dusk. Watered every 2 days, but in moderation.

Top dressing
Fertilizers should be applied during the season, approximately every 2 weeks. Both mineral and organic nutrition are beneficial. If you do not fertilize regularly and in sufficient quantities, you will not be able to grow fleshy and large fruits.

Prevention

To prevent the development of various fungal diseases, it is necessary to spray plants with Fitosporin, which is safe from an environmental point of view. In case the plants are already infected, you need to use special drugs that are sold in stores for gardeners.

Plants of this variety require special and constant care, without which it is impossible to get a high yield. Only in this case, the fruits will be large, juicy and fleshy, and will have good taste.
