Pros and cons of the Eternal Call variety
To the advantages that are characteristic of tomatoes of this variety, breeders include:
- High productivity - from one bush you can get up to 4 kilograms of juicy and tasty fruits.
- Large fruits, good in their taste characteristics, which are well preserved and transported.
- The ability to grow in the northern regions - due to the fact that the Eternal Call belongs to frost-resistant and early varieties, the fruits have time to ripen even with an extremely short summer period.
- With a slight degree of immaturity, tomatoes are excellently transported over long distances.
The disadvantages of the variety can be attributed only to the fact that the ripe fruits of the first harvest will have a presentable appearance (large, with good taste), but the subsequent tomatoes will be smaller and not so juicy.
How to grow properly
As the reviews of vegetable growers who grow this variety on their own backyard show, the Eternal Call tomatoes showed themselves from the best side. Tomatoes are unpretentious to growing conditions and give bountiful harvests.
For seedlings, seeds are laid 55 - 60 days before planting a seedling in a soil mixture, which can be bought in a store or prepared on your own. To do this, mix garden soil, humus and coarse river sand in a ratio of 3: 3: 1. For disinfection purposes, it is best to steam or roast the soil in the oven.
Seeds are sown into the mixture, sprinkled with no more than 2 - 3 mm and covered with foil. It is important to observe certain conditions: daylight hours for seedlings should be at least 14-16 hours, and the temperature should be within 23-25 degrees. After diving for hardening the seedlings, the indicators are reduced to 18 - 20 degrees.
Watering should be regular, but not plentiful, avoiding stagnant water in the pan and soil acidification. Shown to spray seedlings from a spray bottle.
The shoots are fed for the first time 2 weeks after the pick, and then fertilizer should be applied 2 to 3 more times, maintaining an interval of 15 days.
Planting seedlings and caring for a tomato
In order for tomatoes to give high yields, no more than 2 - 3 seedlings are planted per square meter of area, which will give the bushes enough space. The land around each plant is cultivated every 9 to 10 days, pre-watered. The soil can be any, but it is better to have black soil or land mixed with humus. The main thing is looseness, good air permeability. Planting scheme - 40 by 50 cm between the bushes. Be sure to carry out pinching, leaving no more than 3 side shoots on the bush.
It is better if earlier in the area where tomatoes are planted, cucumbers or parsley, zucchini and cauliflower, carrots grew. Watering tomatoes is recommended after sunset or in the early morning in cloudy weather - this will save the plant from water getting on greens and sunburn. At the very beginning of tomato growth, watering should be regular, moderate, and abundant as flowering and fruiting.
As experienced summer residents note, watering is best combined with top dressing, but this is not necessary. Tomatoes are fed for the first time 2 weeks after planting seedlings in open ground - these can be organic fertilizers or organic compounds with a high percentage of mineral compounds.
It is optimal if the first feeding is from a mixture of mullein and superphosphates in a ratio of 8: 1. Dilute the composition in water. Subsequent dressings should be dry. The composition is as follows: ammonium nitrate, superphosphate and potassium salt are taken per square meter of soil in a ratio of 1: 2: 1.5.
The variety has heavy fruits, so the bush needs to be regularly pinned and tied up as the brushes ripen. It is enough to leave no more than 2 - 4 lateral main shoots. Plants are tied to wooden stakes, dug in at a distance of 10 cm.
Most often, the Vechnyi Zov tomato variety affects late blight. With timely treatment of the beds, the disease can be prevented. It is enough before planting seedlings and after 2 weeks process the tomatoes with a 1% solution of Bordeaux liquid. Tomatoes of this variety are quite resistant to parasites and pathogenic microorganisms.
