Plant growing recommendations
The originator recommends growing plants using the seedling method. Preparatory work begins a couple of months before the landing date. Seed material is placed at a depth of 1.5–2 centimeters in pre-moistened soil. Strong seedlings are obtained by maintaining the temperature in the room from 21 degrees. When the first true leaves appear, the seedlings are transplanted into separate pots. A light-loving plant requires a lot of sunlight. The sprouts should be exposed to light for at least 16 hours a day.
After hardening, the seedlings are planted in the ground. Up to three bushes are placed on a square meter of land. Subsequent care measures consist of timely watering, tying and installing supports, loosening the soil, feeding and removing weeds.
Gardeners' opinion
Good day! Last year I tried to grow a new variety of tomato Big Rainbow. The variety is demanding, loves feeding, tying is necessary. In the North-West region, cultivation is possible only in protected ground conditions. The harvest is decent, the fruits are large and sweet. The berries are distinguished by an unusual color. The variety is not for everybody, I liked it. I leave positive feedback to the American originator.

Good afternoon! For lovers of large-fruited tomatoes, I advise the Big Rainbow. The plant from American breeders requires moderate attention to itself, loves feed and requires a garter. Does not tolerate sudden changes in temperature, it must be grown in greenhouse conditions. The color of ripe fruits is red with yellow streaks, the taste is excellent. I advise!
