Features of growing

Sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out in the first half of March. Seedlings need nutritious and light soil, consisting of a mixture of sod land and humus.

Before sowing, seeds are soaked in a growth stimulator for 10-12 hours, and then they are planted with a depth of 1.5-2 cm. It is better to cover plantings with foil, the optimum temperature for seed germination is about 25 degrees.

After unfolding the two true leaves, the seedlings swoop into separate pots. Possible and landing in the tank of peat, not involving a pick.

There are a huge number of ways to grow tomato seedlings. We offer you a series of articles on how to do this:

• in twists;
• in two roots;
• in peat tablets;
• no picks;
• on Chinese technology;
• in bottles;
• in peat pots;
• without land.

In the ground seedlings are planted in the second half of May. For better rooting, complex mineral fertilizers and wood ash (no more than 1 tablespoon per bush) are laid out in the wells.

Plants are placed with an interval of 60 cm, it is better to leave a space of 70-80 cm between rows. Moderate watering is required with warm water, cold water stops growth and causes a massive discharge of ovaries.

The optimal irrigation scheme is 1 time in 7 days. Plants require heat, but the air should not be too humid. For the season, tomatoes need to be fed 3-4 times, using mineral fertilizers based on potassium and phosphorus.

Powerful and tall bushes immediately after transplanting into the greenhouse are attached to the trellis. For better development of the bush, the lower leaves are removed, and so are the lateral processes. Unformed bushes quickly turn the greenhouse into the jungle.

Pests and diseases

The variety is sufficiently resistant to the main diseases of the nightshade. However, late blight or gray rot can also affect it. For prevention, seeds before sowing are disinfected with a solution of hydrogen peroxide or potassium permanganate. Planting is recommended to regularly spray a pale pink solution of potassium permanganate or phytosporin.

To combat pests will help frequent airing of the greenhouse, soil mulching with peat, humus or straw.

Planting should often inspect, looking under the leaves. Having found aphid, spider mite or whitefly, the plants are treated with an aqueous solution of ammonia, soapy water, or nontoxic preparations based on pyrethrum and celandine.

A mushroom basket is an interesting variety in cultivation, always pleasing with a good harvest. It is enough to plant several bushes in the greenhouse to provide the family with beautiful, tasty and unusual fruits.
