Features when growing
Prepare the soil for tomatoes in the fall, add compost, ground eggshells and ash in large quantities. Before planting seeds for seedlings, it is worth considering that the "Golden Fleece" variety is early maturing. Planting seeds should start in early April, taking into account the weather conditions of the region where the tomato is grown. Seedlings need to be taken outside for a couple of hours so that the seedlings can get used to the wind, sun and daylight in general.
If this is not done, then after planting in the ground, the seedlings should be protected from the wind and the sun until they are accepted and begin to grow. Plant up to seven bushes per square meter. Seedlings will be stronger if the seeds are pretreated with a potassium permanganate solution.
Ignite and mulch the soil before planting the seed, in this case the seedlings will appear faster.
At the stage of 1-2 leaves, young seedlings should be transplanted from a small pot into a larger container filled with new soil, feeding with mineral fertilizers. Heat for tomatoes is somewhat more important than soil moisture. At the same time, it is the air humidity that is of great importance; for the normal growth and development of the tomato, it should be 50-60%. At higher air humidity, the pollination of flowers worsens and their fall.
IMPORTANT: You should take care of the seedlings by watering it from a spray bottle, loosen the soil, feed it with liquid fertilizers.
55-60 days after sowing, when 5-7 leaves and the first blooming brush appear on the stem, the seedlings are transplanted into prepared beds. Care for the "Golden Fleece" variety is carried out in the same way as for other types of varieties. Plants are watered at the root, observing moderation. It is better if the water is settled. Tomatoes need regular weeding and removal of the lower leaves from the stem. During the period of intensive growth, the plant needs to be fed several times.
