TREATMENT OF LARGE-FARMED TOMATOES: STEP BY STEP
I grow tomatoes from self-selected seeds. It is very important that the bushes are abundantly fruiting and are completely healthy, and the fruits are fully ripe (but not overripe!). The washed and dried tomatoes are cut across into two parts and with a teaspoon I extract the seeds with pulp and juice in a small bowl.
Cover the pulp with gauze and put it in a dark place for two or three days to ferment. As soon as bubbles and a protective film appear on the surface of the mass, most of the seeds sink to the bottom, and the juice becomes clarified, I pour the contents of the vessel into a colander with a fine mesh and rinse thoroughly with running water until the seeds are clean. To select the fullest of them, re-fill with water. Then the planting material is dry to a complete lack of moisture.
Previously, she used paper towels, plastic pallets, etc. But it rained last season, and there were difficulties with drying the seeds. However, this problem was solved very simply. The fact is that my husband made an apidomic to improve his health by sleeping on beehives. And I thought:
“If bees are able to heal a person, why can't they do the same with my seeds - saturate them with healing power? They are also alive ... ” I thought and decided to put containers with seeds on top of the hives. And to check the result, the "bee" seeds were sown on a separate bed. Incredibly, during the whole season there were no signs of disease in tomato plants. I’m going to continue the experiment this year as well.
Tomato seeds for seedling sowing for 55-65 days before planting in open ground. To do this, I provide the room temperature at 22-26 ° C. Seeds are pre-disinfected in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The soil mixture in the boxes is wetted well, then I make small furrows with a ruler (about 1 depth cm), spread the seeds in them at a distance 1 -1,5 cm from each other. Boxes with seeds cover the top with glass or plastic wrap. As soon as the seeds begin to germinate, I move the seedling boxes to the windowsills of a southern orientation. So that the seedlings do not stretch out, in the evening and at night, I finish them with daylight lamps.
After the appearance of two or three true leaves, the seedlings are transplanted into larger containers and on the 2-3, see deeper than they grew before. I water the seedlings abundantly, then carefully remove the seedlings along with the root system. I watch carefully not to damage the roots of plants. If the roots have grown together into a ball, water them and divide them. I pinch very long roots so that they do not buckle when they are planted, but only grow down. After picking a plant, I water it with warm rainwater.
A week before planting a seedling at a permanent place, I begin to harden it - in the morning and evening I stand for a few hours on the street.
Growing seedlings is an exciting process. And if you can get beautiful, healthy plants with a well-developed root system and a thick, durable stem, you get a powerful internal charge.
TRANSPLANTATION OF TOMATO GROWTH IN THE OPEN GROUND
In May, when the night temperature does not fall below 15-16 ° C. seedlings planted in a permanent place. I spend my pets landing in the evening to avoid direct sunlight. Then I water the plants with warm water under the root. Particular attention is paid to the leaves, because they, like the roots, are directly related to the processes of plant nutrition. I am cutting the ladders only in the morning so that the wounds heal over the day and no viruses have penetrated them. I watch that the leaves do not come into contact with the soil, because they can become agents of infection. For many years, growing tomatoes is well learned: you can not thoughtlessly remove the leaves, because with their help due to evaporation, the plant smoothes temperature fluctuations.
Tall tomatoes always form in one stalk, removing all stepchildren to the center point of growth. Tomato beds mulch straw, mowed grass, etc.
When the air temperature is 35 ° C and above, the plants experience an acute lack of oxygen, as a result of which the leaves begin to starve and twist. However, excessive leaf staining or pinching, frequent watering or large amounts of organic fertilizers, herbal infusions, and nitrogenous fertilizers amid a severe deficit of phosphorus, potassium, copper and calcium can also be the cause of leaf deformation.
This situation can be corrected by diluting 1 with a teaspoonful of potassium monophosphate into 10 l of water and treating bushes in need of help with this solution.
In large-fruited tomatoes have their own characteristics that must be considered in the process of growing. First, the formation of large fruits requires a lot of nutrients, so you have to feed the plants quite often. Secondly, so that the bushes do not bend or break under the weight of fruits, they need to be tied up with supports.
Cultivating tomatoes is not easy. But if you do it with love, conscientiously carry out the necessary agricultural practices, the plants will reward you with a bountiful harvest of tasty and beautiful fruits.

MY SECRETS OF GOOD TOMATO HARVEST
Last summer gave us a lot of surprises with the vagaries of the weather - a long spring with frosts until mid-June, which changed sharply to heat up to 30 degrees (Vyatka region), and this made it difficult to tie tomatoes.
So, for better pollination, it was necessary to shake up the bushes early in the morning, while it was not hot, and also to use other means such as the Ovary.
It took a long time to wait for the planting of seedlings on the greenhouse bed because of the cold weather, and the seedlings have greatly overgrown. But I always plant in the hole 2 seedling reclining, roots in different directions, at a distance 10-15 see from each other. This method requires, of course, in 2, more than one seedling, but I grow it myself from my varietal seeds, and for me it is not expensive, as I advise everyone to do.
Last year I experienced pink varietal tomatoes, their taste is usually excellent, and they did not disappoint me — they showed good yields (see photo above). I was particularly pleased with varieties such as Minusinsk Pink and Sugar, Adorable, Grandma's Secret, Dacosta, Pink Giant.
Seeds are always planted without soaking - seedlings appear faster than soaked.
Planting on a greenhouse in the 2 row in a staggered pattern through 60. See. I constantly loosen the soil between the bushes and water only at the root.
Fertilizing produce "mash". This is an infusion of grass, ash, yeast, bread crusts (1 l per bucket of water). I add humus or compost to the soil, but not fresh manure (heal).
From phytophthora I use garlic infusion (sometimes HOM).
I wish everyone great harvests!
