Tomato Striped Cave (photo) - my reviews and growing experience
Tomato Variety STRIPED CAVERN (TOMATO STRIPED CAVE) - LANDING AND CARE
I love tomatoes since childhood - for their tender flesh, alluring aroma and beautiful, unusual fruits.
But to collect varieties of tomato began recently. But already decided on the most beloved.
One of them - Striped cavern variety (Tomato Striped Cave), created by American breeder Tom Wagner. This is a mid-season variety, the period from germination to technical ripeness of the fruit 90-110 days. The bush reaches 2 m tall, requires a garter and a shearling. The plant can be formed in one or two stalks. The fruits are beautiful, slightly ribbed, weighing 120-250 g, of an unusual color - golden streaks and stripes on a bright red background. Tomatoes are soft, with a pleasant aroma, very tasty in the stuffed form. The variety is resistant to drought and disease.
So that from year to year to enjoy your beloved, you will work out your agricultural technique. Seeds soak Fitosporin-M gicide to protect against fungal diseases.
I buy soil mixture for seedlings at a specialty store or have been cooking on my own since autumn. For sowing seeds using cassettes or boxes. Before starting work, I level the soil mixture in the tank, then wet it well.
The seeds are sown in mid-March to a depth of 2, see between the seeds, leave a distance of 1, see. After sowing, I put them to sleep with soil mixture and gently compact the soil. To maintain the necessary humidity, I cover the seed containers with a film and put them in a warm place (28-30 ° C).
Through 3-5 days after the emergence of shoots, I move the seedlings to the racks, where it is cool and light. So that the seedlings do not stretch out, illuminate them with phytolamps or fluorescent lamps. Through 4-5 days, I treat the plant with Fitosporin-M for the prevention of the black stalk. About two to three weeks after the appearance of two or three true leaves of the seedlings dive into separate containers. The day before, I water it abundantly so as not to injure the roots of the plants.
After two or three repeat. In order to increase the resistance of plants to stress factors, after 10 days after the picking I spend foliar feeding of plants with potassium humate - twice with an interval of 7-10 days.
As soon as the outside temperature rises above 10-12 ° C. Be sure to harden the seedlings. On the first day I leave the plants outdoors 3-5 h, on the second day 6-7 hours. On the third day the seedlings are outdoors or in a greenhouse during the whole daylight hours.
Plants aged 60-70 days planted in open ground. I do it in the evening or in cloudy weather, two or three days before that I water a lot.

From time to time, the weather surprises in the form of prolonged rains or prolonged heat, drought - conditions favorable for the onset of various diseases and pests. For the prevention of diseases, I treat plants with a solution of Fitosporin-M (1 g per 10 l of water). In recent years, a lot of aphids have appeared. Therefore, tomato plants had to save drug Aktar.
Next to a tomato bed I plant marigolds, basil, calendula and other garden amulets. They not only get along well with tomatoes, but also protect plants from pests. promote growth and improve the taste of the fruit. In the circle of such neighbors my tomatoes look great and feel great. And I, in gratitude for your efforts and care, receive an award - a bountiful harvest of tomatoes of the favorite variety Striped cavern.
