Before planting tomatoes, the soil is fertilized with minerals - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. During the growing season, feeding is also necessary.
The seeds germinate when the temperature rises to 15 degrees. In the south of Russia and Ukraine, seedlings are moved into open ground starting from the third decade of April, in the middle lane - from 10 to 25 May. 7 hybrid bushes are planted on 1 square meter. For seedlings:
- Harvested early.
