Sugar Tomatoes - Varieties
Varieties of "sweet" tomatoes
In stores, and in the markets, tomatoes can always be bought.
Here are just delicious among them I have not met. Because I grow varieties of amateur breeding. 
If you break such a tomato, the “sugar” appears on the break ...
What else attracts me to these varieties is their fantastic yield. Moreover, they work out both in the greenhouse and in the open ground. I will briefly talk about our favorite varieties, as well as about some tricks in caring for them.
Khan, Rosochka, Apricot - these babies (up to 0,5 m high) of red, pink and orange colors, respectively, have pleased us with fruits since the end of June! The fruits, however, are medium-sized, 100-150 g each, but very tasty, and the bushes abundantly bear fruit and do not require pinching.
The king rushes after the oversleeping. The fruits of it are lined, red, 400-500 g, and the height of the bush is up to 70 cm. It also does not need to remove the stepsons. There is no other at this time.
New Russia keeps up with the average time. The bush is 70-100 cm high, the fruits are large, 300-400 g, rounded, aligned, very elegant - red with golden, strip-like blotches extending from the top of the fruit to its base. The variety is very productive and disease resistant.
Black Sea Giant, Gigant Sukhanova, Orange giant, King Siberia - pink, red, orange and yellow, respectively - the real giants of our tomato kingdom! Huge fruits -600-700 g, individual more than 1 kg. One tomato is enough for a cup of salad. And the taste! With their eyes closed, they can be mistaken for exotic fruits. The bushes, of course, are tall (up to 1,5 m), but unusually productive and do not need to be planted.
Volgar and Taya - the dream of every housewife: their red fruits can be canned and salted in barrels, and dried, and even so it is a pleasure to eat. The fruits of the Volgar are rounded, the bush is low, Tai has elongated fruits, the bush is tall, and unlike the Volgar, it needs to be formed.

Caring for Sugar Tomatoes
What else I like these varieties - their unpretentiousness.
Fruits perfectly tied in any weather, and care is simple. We double hills the bushes: the first time soon after planting and after days of 20. This contributes to the growth of additional roots and, as a result, increases the yield. In the open ground tomatoes, even tall, let grow freely, we do not break off stepsons. In the greenhouse we form in 1-2 shoots, tie up and necessarily stepchka. The bush is planted at a distance of 0,5 m from the bush.
The most painful question for gardeners in the middle lane and to the north is the fight against late blight. To increase the resistance of plants to this scourge, we begin to process ... seedlings before planting: we spray it with one of the anti-stress drugs.
It is necessary to apply it at this time: if you spray tomatoes during the flowering period, there is a risk of getting ugly fruits - we had such a case.
When the seedlings take root (in 10-12 days), we spray it with a stimulant of protective reactions, growth and development of plants (the active substance is ethyl arachidonic acid ester).
The third treatment (systemic preparation) allows you to protect plants for a long time. We spend it 15-20 days after the second treatment. Later we no longer use chemistry - only decoctions, infusions and microbiological preparations.

Last season, I harvested a tomato crop in a greenhouse and was upset - the fruits looked normal, but inside, next to the stalk, the pulp was dense, tasteless. I also had a bed of tomatoes planted in open ground - there the same variety had perfectly normal, juicy fruits. What happened to my greenhouse tomatoes?

Tomatoes of one kind, but grown in the open ground, are always tastier than greenhouses. The taste of fruit affects the content of sugars, organic acids, which, in turn, depends on the balance of mineral nutrition and compliance with the irrigation regime. With a shortage of light and heat, due to too generous application of nitrogen fertilizers and untimely watering, the fruits become either stiff or, conversely, watery. If the feeding is done strictly according to the instructions, watering the temperate, forming a bush, this will positively affect the flavoring qualities of tomatoes. Thus, the taste of fruits affects a lot of factors, and in your case, the optimal combination of them was in the open ground, and not in the greenhouse.
It should be noted that among gardeners there is an opinion that in greenhouse conditions the plant is so well provided for everyone that the biological meaning of taste is lost. In nature, the high palatability of the fetus is one of the factors that an animal must eat it. It, in turn, will spread seeds over long distances, and this ensures the distribution and survival of a particular species (population).
