Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Sevruga or Pudovik, its yield
There is a tomato that can be said to have two names - "Sevryuga" and "Pudovik". According to a number of sources, they are synonyms of the same variety, but only the last is in the state register of breeding achievements.

About the rules of growing a crop
The Sevryuga tomato also has an indisputable plus: they can be grown in any part of the Russian land. The appearance of the first results of the variety may already coincide with the initial stage of the appearance of early maturing tomatoes under appropriate conditions.
It is preferable to sow seeds about a couple of months before their expected appearance in open ground, but two and a half is better for full-fledged seedlings. If you plan to plant it in a greenhouse environment, then place no more than three individuals on one square meter, and up to four to form one stem.
The best time to sow will be February or March.
After sowing, the seed begins to sprout after about seven days. Seedlings should be strengthened and dived. In the process of growing seedlings, it is advised to carry out seedling watering in a moderate way. If the seedlings are placed in greenhouse conditions after May 15, then the tomato will already grow in early summer. Placing seedlings in the fresh air or on a balcony will help to harden it.
The seedling hole must contain superphosphate. Each small culture involves deepening into the hole and active hilling. Then additional roots will appear, which will have a beneficial effect on the more active growth of tomatoes. If the soil is unprotected, then the seedlings should take their place when no frost is expected.
