    I planted 3 varieties of tomatoes: cherry yellow and red and "cream". With cherry with both all right, but with "cream" trouble. Virtually all the flowers along with the pedicel withered, tomatoes on the fingers could be counted. In addition, only one bush was "cream", the rest were incomprehensible big fruit with holes. And one more question: why do the stepsons grow from the leaves and in the continuation of the flower brush? This is normal?

      Causes, causing the drying of flowers, a great many. There are the most common causes of this phenomenon in tomatoes, in particular:
      - insufficient pollination for pollinated varieties;
      - temperature outside the range of comfortable growth;
      - violation of nitrogen nutrition;
      - violation of the water regime - little moisture or, conversely, its excess;
      - defeat by pests or diseases;
      - excessive number of fruits.
      Any of these causes can cause
      drying or falling of flowers. Therefore, noticing that the flowers began to turn yellow and fall off, it is necessary to quickly understand what is disrupted in the technology of cultivation, and immediately take action. If this has already happened, then it is necessary to draw conclusions and prevent this from happening again next year.
      According to the presented photo, one gets the impression that the plant is affected by phyto-fluorosis. Since only the "
      ki "(one of the varieties of tomato), it can be assumed that the cultivated variety did not have resistance (the ability to resist) to late blight. Take this into consideration and carefully approach the choice of cultivar in your own conditions.
      Growing on "cream" large tomatoes, most likely, were the result of cross-pollination with other species and varieties, and maybe you sold the wrong seeds.

      In that stepchildren grow from leaves and in the continuation of the flower brush, the growing conditions are to blame: temperature - too cool or hot, violation of optimal humidity, unbalanced nutrition.
      To be frightened and to experience here it is not necessary. Leafs-stepchildren should be cut off, but there will be no consequences for further vegetation.
      The mechanism of this phenomenon lies in hormonal abnormalities arising under the influence of stress factors of the external environment. An increased amount of auxin (a hormone responsible for the growth of fruits and shoots) is created. Most often this happens when there is a lack of light and high humidity.

    At home, cherry tomatoes are grown in simple vases or hanging baskets. For this, low-quality varieties for open beds are suitable. They root system is less active, and plants will normally develop in a limited space.

    Vases or any other suitable container is chosen by the volume of 2 l and we put in them one seedling. This will prevent thickening and will enable to grow strong bushes with a good harvest. To create an excellent decorative effect, you can place several seedlings in decorative baskets. Vases are used in capacities from 5 to 20 l.
    For hanging baskets, ampel varieties of cherry tomatoes are optimal. They are intended to bear fruit in a hanging position and have excellent decorative qualities. Such varieties do not require pasynkovaniya, they bend their branches, and the fruits are much smaller than those of simple cherry tomatoes.

    It should be remembered that regardless of the way of growing, such tomatoes do not tolerate air stagnation and drought. They require constant watering with soft warm water. Fruits must be fully ripened, greenish have low taste qualities.

    Cherry tomatoes are very fond of my children.

    Still would! These tomatoes are very sweet and small - a "children's" size.
    Low-grown cherry varieties do not require garters, very early, so we try the first fruits at the end of June. Pleases with a variety and color scale: orange, yellow, dark-red tomatoes look beautifully in a salad.

    In March, I sow cherries in boxes, and then transplant the seedlings in a greenhouse. Since the varieties I select are undersized, the plant places take up a little. To such dwarf cherry is, for example, Florida PETIT. Its stem barely reaches 25 cm, and the fruit is very sweet. Very compact bushes also in Pygmy. If you like sweet and sour taste, then plant Bonsai.

    All these little bushes take up little space, but are very productive, they can be grown both in the open ground, in the greenhouse, and even at home.

    Cherry in baskets
    People of my generation know how to use their minds every square centimeter, so all the places lit by the sun are occupied on the balcony, including ... on the wall!

    In February, I sow the seeds of Cherry Garden pearl on seedlings. In chernozem I add some loose sand for looseness. About a week later, when 3 leaves appear, I dive them into separate pots.

    The balcony I have glazed, so the bird cherry colds to my tomatoes are not terrible. Already at the end of April, I plant seedlings in hanging baskets. Soil I use the same as for seedlings. I stop watering for a day, but I put the bushes in a damp ground. Immediately pour with warm water and, when it is absorbed, I sprinkle roots with a layer of soil 2-3, see.

    I hang baskets of tomatoes on hooks driven into the wall under the ceiling in a checkerboard pattern for better illumination. I get very good harvests - enough for salads.

    Prepare seedlings in the summer, eat tomatoes in winter!
    Since the lamps for plant lighting have become available, I have been fascinated by the cultivation of cherry tomatoes on the window sill. Varieties I choose early, with low, compact bushes and not too large, but dense brushes.
    I especially like Balcony Miracle - a variety developed for indoor cultivation and not too sensitive to the length of daylight hours. So that tomato bushes with bright fruits adorn the windowsill in late autumn, I grow seedlings in the summer, in July. I carry out pre-sowing preparation of seeds as usual: I disinfect them in a solution of potassium permanganate, soak for half a day for swelling and sow in a nursery.
    Previously, planted seedlings in hothouse beds, but it turned out that then the roots are too injured when transplanting into pots. Yes, and plants are already getting used to living freely, using a large volume of land, and then hard to survive the restrictions. Therefore, I now dive grown seedlings first in 1 liter pots, and then transfer to permanent residence in 5-liter.
    I feed the plants once every 2 weeks, alternating the ash-manure infusion and the superphosphate solution (1 tsp for 1 L of water).
    Closer to August, pots with indoor tomatoes I carry from the greenhouse to the veranda so that the plants do not pick up the phytophthora. Just in case, I still spray them with diluted milk whey with a drop of honey. At the same time, I begin to include the evening light at 1-2 hours, as the natural light day is reduced, and the tomatoes are yet to mature and blossom.

    Tomato crumbs
    I always dreamed of growing cherry on the windowsill - it turned out to be not so difficult!
    You can start at any time of the year, but ideally - in the middle of spring. Cherry love the soil with trace elements, take care of this in advance.
    Choose undersized varieties that grow well. Before planting, soak the seeds in the growth activator for 10 hours. Then sow the seeds, immersed in the soil by 0.5 cm, pour warm water, cover with a film. After 5 days, wait for the shoots! Let them grow - and only then thin out, leaving the strongest.
    When the tomatoes give a third true leaf, transplant them into separate small pots. And after a month - in large constants (pots in the shape of a cylinder are ideal). Cherry is afraid of too wet soil, watering with cold water and drafts. They need regular loosening of the soil, spraying and additional artificial light in the winter (2-3 hours in the morning and evening).
    In summer, cherry need to be watered every 3 days, in winter - 1 time per week. Place the tomatoes on the south side — they are thermophilic plants. With the beginning of flowering, feed them with ash or mineral fertilizer (1 tbsp. Per 0,5 l of water). Repeat two more times with an interval of 2 weeks.
    Collect the harvest on time, so that the new tomatoes soon ripen, and the plants are fruited longer!
