Description of June tomato variety and its characteristics
Recently, June tomato has gained great popularity among gardeners. Many positive reviews have been left about him. He fell in love with summer residents for excellent quality and unpretentiousness.
Let's take a closer look at its description:
- Being engaged in growing vegetables on their own and investing their care and efforts, I want to receive a reward for their work as soon as possible. Such an opportunity is given by the June tomato variety. It is distinguished by early ripening - from sowing the seeds to ripening the fruits, you need to wait only 98 to 110 days. Having planted in March, you can start harvesting in June.
- The plant grows only up to 40-50 cm, which reduces the effort and time spent on tying and pinching it. Both novice gardeners and professionals will be happy with such properties.
- The June tomato variety has the ability to grow equally both in the open field and in the greenhouse. This was one of the reasons for its popularity. After all, not everyone has a greenhouse on the site. The fruits are suitable both for implementation and for filling your own bins.
- High yield is another feature of the variety. Up to 8 kilograms of crops can be harvested from one square meter. This is taking into account the planting of bushes with a frequency of 6 to 8 pieces per unit of soil area. If you plant more often, this will affect the size of the fruits, they will be smaller, this is due to the lack of nutrients and sunlight. For cultivation, no special care is required, watering and loosening the soil is enough.
- An equally important factor is resistance to diseases that nightshades usually carry. Early ripening of fruits protects them from brown rot, which spreads to bushes that bear fruit from the end of July. This ability also saves processing labor and increases the amount of edible crops.
- Versatility of application. Harvested tomatoes are suitable for eating raw, making salads, pickles, snacks, sauces and juices.
All the above characteristics confirm the statements in favor of June tomato. In addition, fruits also have a number of positive characteristics:
- almost perfect round shape;
- appetizing deep red color;
- sweet and sour taste;
- very juicy pulp;
- are suitable for eating raw or juicing them.
What else many summer residents and farmers note is the simultaneous ripening of the tomato. This property facilitates harvesting and saves time spent on this process.
The weight of one fruit is from 80 to 130 grams, it depends on the care and growing conditions. Although it has already been said about the versatility of the variety, it is worth noting that in greenhouse conditions the plant reaches a slightly higher height and still requires pinching.
To obtain the highest yield possible, leave no more than 4 stems per plant. After that, the plant feels great, bears fruit well, and the crop ripens right on the bushes.
Life hack: it is known that the first fruits appear from a terry inflorescence, they are somewhat larger than the rest, it is these tomatoes that are harvested before reaching full maturity. After such a manipulation, the tomato begins to produce the maximum amount of harvest, this period lasts up to a month.
June is one of earliest tomato varieties, in addition, it does not need special care and feeding, it matures well in the open air, while giving a good harvest.
