The Berdsky tomato variety, like most of its relatives, prefers the seedling method of planting. Healthy seedlings are the key to a good harvest. Tips for growing seedlings:
- Preparing a container with universal soil for tomatoes;
- Sowing depth 1-2 centimeters;
- After sowing, the soil is moistened with warm water from a spray bottle and covered with a film until sprouts appear;
- Provide temperature conditions plus 22-25 degrees;
- Regular watering with water at room temperature;
- Provide seedlings with access to sunlight for at least 12 hours a day;
- Hardening before planting.
IMPORTANT! The plant shows the best results when formed in 1-2 stems.
The variety does not like dense planting; more than 4 plants should not be placed on one square meter of land. The tomato is not whimsical and requires compliance with simple rules of agricultural technology:
- Weeding and loosening the earth;
- Watering as needed;
- Feeding with complex mineral fertilizer, up to 6 times per season;
- Installation of supports.

Good day. For residents of the north-western region, I recommend the Berdsky tomato variety.The plant of Siberian breeding firmly tolerates the cool summer, provided it is grown in a greenhouse.

Good afternoon! After numerous positive reviews about large tomatoes of the Berdsky variety, I decided to try to cultivate them. The plant turned out to be unpretentious. Very compact bush, loves abundant watering and feeding. During the summer season, I fertilized the soil 6 times. The greenhouse needs to be well ventilated, the tomato has shown resistance to most diseases. The fruits are very large, it turned out to grow berries up to 600 grams.

I bought seeds from the Siberian Garden firm. I liked the sort “Berdsky large”. Corresponds to the schedule. I grow outdoors and this summer 2018 in Novosibirsk he pleasantly surprises me. I like that the bush is short (about dead) and the fruits are large enough. But the seedlings were not close, but I really wanted to plant the variety and patiently waited for it to sprout.
