Growing recommendations
Reviews of those who planted pink varieties of tomatoes suggest that they should be planted a little wider than ordinary ones. Then the fruits are larger and sweeter, and more spreading bushes form more fruits. The best planting pattern is 50 x 50 cm. It is not necessary to plant a lot of pink tomato bushes in the country, it is better to provide better care for a smaller number of bushes. Bushes need to be tied to a low support during the period of fruit growth, since heavy fruits often break off the entire branch.
Tomatoes Gift for Woman (F1) must be grown in seedlings. The seeds should be prepared in advance. Presowing seed treatment includes:
- Calibration of seeds and determination of their viability. To do this, the seeds are immersed in water - frail and weak float, they are removed. The drowned are taken for further processing;
- Disinfection of seeds. This operation is easiest to carry out with potassium permanganate. For 15-20 minutes, you need to immerse the seeds in a pink solution of potassium permanganate.
Trading companies often offer shell seeds in different colors - green or blue. These seeds are of high quality. They have already been trained, you do not need to soak them.
Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in the first decade of March.The sowing depth is at least 1.5 cm, otherwise the cotyledon leaves will not be able to free themselves from the seed coat and will stop developing. The boxes with the sown seeds are covered with glass or foil and placed in a warm place, they do not need lighting now. Seedling soil is a mixture of garden soil and humus in equal parts.
After the emergence of seedlings, the seedlings must be provided with lighting, as well as watering and feeding. The dive of seedlings is carried out when the first true leaf is formed.
Seedlings are transplanted to a permanent place at the age of 60-65 days. A good seedling during this period may already be with flower buds. In order for the plants to adapt as easily as possible, they need to be tempered. About a week before planting in the ground, boxes with seedlings are taken out into the street, gradually accustoming them to the effects of the sun and wind. At the time of planting, it is good to lower the roots into a clay mash mixed with mullein.
Many of those who planted varieties such as Gift to a Woman recommend not to equip high greenhouses for these tomatoes. On the contrary, they grow better in the first half of the growing season in a low greenhouse, and then, at high air temperatures, the greenhouse is removed. Fortified plants are little affected by diseases, they use moisture and light most efficiently, they have higher yields.
After setting the fruit, the plants need additional feeding. For pink tomatoes, prepare mullein infusion, you can fertilize with chicken droppings. These fertilizers are very concentrated, so they need to be diluted 8-10 times. The industry produces new humic fertilizers that are good for feeding tomatoes by leaves or at the root. It is necessary to carry out at least two dressings, and preferably three, so you can alternate dressings at the root and on the leaf.
Hybrid reviews
We tested the cultivation of a hybrid “Gift to the F1 woman” by sowing seeds into the soil under a covering material. We got the harvest in August, we are very happy with the result. Covering material was removed in June. The last fruits can be harvested before freezing and ripened indoors. These tomatoes keep well. We plant only determinant varieties. We will plant a gift for a woman every year because of its unpretentiousness, the fruits are very large, the yield is high.
The hybrid is very plastic, it can be grown early, for example, in a heated greenhouse, sowing seeds for seedlings in February, or you can sow seeds later, directly into the soil under the film. In both cases, a good harvest was obtained. We tried many pink varieties, but Gift to a woman among them is the most resistant to late blight and heat-resistant.
As you can see from the reviews, the F1 Woman Gift has won the recognition of vegetable growers and consumers. Try to grow it on your site, and it will delight you with large and tasty pink tomatoes.
