Growing in the garden and care
If you look at the description of the variety, you can see that these tomatoes ripen early, which means that the seeds germinate quickly enough. They need a lot of nutrition and strength to grow, warmth and good watering.
Since the variety is very sensitive to fungal diseases, it is necessary to start prevention from them already from the seeds. They are soaked in a solution before planting, which will help develop immunity in the future.

The secret of growing from seed is simple: you need to plant it not very deeply into the container at the same distance and wait for germination. While the processes are getting stronger, they need to provide a comfortable environment.
- A box with seedlings is placed on the sunny side of the window (you can put an additional lamp);
- Water every time the earth dries up;
- Carry out for a while outside, airing and tempering.
When the seedlings grow up and get stronger, then they are planted in a greenhouse. This usually happens after two months. The soil in the greenhouse should be well fertilized and watered. Do not forget to water the tomatoes in the greenhouse once a week and air them by opening the doors and windows. Watering is carried out in the evening. It is worth remembering that if you water too much, fungus can develop. Therefore, this should be done only when the ground is dry.
Periodically, the soil is loosened and weeded, removing weeds, which take useful substances from the vegetable. This must be done carefully, without damaging the stems and roots.
New seeds are bought every year. From grown tomatoes, they will not grow or produce the desired variety.
