Care advice
Requirements for soil and seedling planting site
It is imperative to take into account the fact that the fruits are large. Therefore, in the fall, they select a sunny area, dig it up on the bayonet of a shovel and apply fertilizers: 2-3 tbsp. tablespoons of superphosphate and 2 tbsp. tablespoons of potassium sulfate per m².
Sowing seeds
The seeds are sown in March. When 1-2 true leaves appear, the seedlings dive into separate cups.
Transplanting seedlings to the site
When the seedlings are 45–55 days old, they are transplanted to the site. An indent of 50 cm is observed between plants, placing 4–5 pieces per m².
This is usually done in May. 2 days before planting seedlings, seedlings are treated with a solution of phytosporin-M. If the soil was not fertilized in the fall, then 1 teaspoon of nitroammophoska is poured into each hole. When planting on a plot, seedlings are covered with earth to the upper leaves. Then roots will grow on the stem, which is in the soil.
Further care of seedlings
Growing tomatoes consists in regular watering, pulling out weeds, and loosening the earth.
10 days after planting the seedlings, the soil is fertilized with infusion of mullein with green grass. This is done like this: half of the mullein and chopped grass are poured into the barrel, and then topped up with water. Leave for several days. Then they dilute with water and fertilize the bushes.
After feeding, under the bushes, mulch is placed from rotted compost, chopped grass.
Once again, the bushes are fed 10 days after the flowering of the first brush.Then they are fed while harvesting. So that the bushes do not get sick with apical rot, when tomatoes grow, the bushes are sprayed every 10 days, making a solution of 1 tbsp. tablespoons of calcium nitrate in a ten-liter bucket of water.
You can do foliar dressing with a solution of 10 g of boric acid, 2–3 crystals of sodium humate, 1 tbsp. tablespoons of urea and a ten-liter bucket of water. Fertilize early in the morning or late in the evening.
The reviews of those who planted the variety are enthusiastic. Everyone loves large, sweet fruits, but the bushes require careful maintenance.
