Features of planting and caring for tomatoes in the open field
The most important stage in growing a tomato is sowing planting material and caring for young seedlings. First of all, so as not to waste time growing "bad" seeds, you can soak them in salt water. 2 tbsp. l. dilute in 100 ml of warm water, add planting material there. Those seeds that float to the surface can be thrown out. Those that remain at the bottom can be planted on seedlings.
Prepare the soil for the Miracle Walford tomato seeds in advance. You can bring it from your site, pre-warming up to +17 degrees. Or you can buy a special vegetable mix at the store. Drainage should be laid out at the bottom of the box (these can be small pebbles or pebbles, or crushed eggshell).
Care for all varieties of tomatoes is almost the same. Many gardeners often neglect it, believing that a rich harvest can be obtained without any effort. But without proper care, the harvest can be very poor.
First of all, you need to make sure that the seedling soil is fertile. It will not be superfluous to add mullein or manure before planting in a permanent place. This can be done a week before planting seedlings. For planting young seedlings, it is advisable to choose sunny areas. In the shade, the bushes will be frail, and the vegetables themselves will be small.
The best precursors for tomatoes are legumes, greens, courgettes, or eggplant.
Particular attention should be paid to watering. Plants do not like waterlogging of the soil. If you pour tomatoes, then the vegetables will be watery, and the bushes may begin to rot. The most optimal amount of watering is 2-3 times a week. In the event that there were prolonged rains, then watering can be stopped until the soil is completely dry.
Before watering, you can weed the beds and remove weeds. One weeding per week will be sufficient.
It is also important to regularly apply mineral and organic fertilizers. The first feeding should be carried out immediately after transplanting the seedlings to a permanent place. You can add a solution of manure and superphosphate in the ratio of 1 kg: 25 g per 10 liters of warm water.
The second feeding is carried out already during the growing season. It is necessary for the formation of ovaries to be more active. Walford bushes can be watered with a solution of phosphorus, superphosphate and potassium (in a ratio of 25:20 per 10 liters of warm water). The third feeding is carried out two weeks after the second. If the bushes are healthy and there are a lot of ovaries on them, then the third time fertilization can be omitted.
