GROWING TOMATOES IN THE LENINGRAD REGION IN THE GREENHOUSE - MY TIPS
Growing tomatoes in the Northwest region is a lot of work. A short and rainy summer makes it difficult to obtain a crop of tomatoes ripened on a branch. Many take them off green. I made sure that I harvest ripe tomatoes from mid-June until frost in an unheated greenhouse. I use some tricks for this.
By the way
I prefer tall tomatoes - in my area they showed the best result.
Growing Northwest Tomatoes - My Tricks
Sowing spend in February.
Hacked seeds are planted in glasses of 0,3 liter capacity, one third filled with earth.
I put the elongated seedlings in a spiral in a glass and gradually fill them with prepared soil to the top.
In the evening I turn on the backlight.
I prepare the soil myself: earth from the greenhouse (or purchased soil) and sand (3: 1), ash, fertilizers for seedlings.
I water with plain water, I try to pour along the edge.
I use transparent glasses: it is easier to regulate watering and observe the development of the root system (photo 1).
Elongated seedlings are good!
Early planting implies overgrown seedlings, a long stem. But in my case it’s convenient: on this stalk many additional roots will grow.
This method is convenient for those who live near the garden, since overgrown seedlings are difficult to transport.
Transplanting
I plant plants at the end of April in an unheated greenhouse lying down, previously remove all the lower leaves. I leave only the top (20-30 cm) (photo 2).
I dig a trench on the bayonet of a shovel. I add ash, superphosphate and humus there. I put the tomatoes in turn. It's okay if the stems and roots in the ground are in contact. Power with a good root system is enough for everyone (3 photo).
Immediately after planting, I set the arcs and cover it with non-woven material for a week, so that the seedlings take root better (photo 4).

Care of tomatoes
Watering alternate with the addition of Gumi and Fitosporin-M. For better fruit setting in the morning, I shake the bushes. I tie the plants on the twine to the ceiling, forming stems in 2-6. I cut off the excess foliage. Be sure to ventilate the greenhouse, because at high temperatures the pollen becomes sterile.
Dear gardeners, never be upset if your seedlings have grown. When planting tomatoes lying down, you will always have a wonderful harvest!

It is extremely important to prevent seedlings from overgrowing. In small containers, she will not receive enough nutrition. If it is transplanted into a large pot, it will still develop very slowly. What to do in such cases? Literally comb the roots. This work is long, laborious, but there is no other way out - not to lose the seedlings.
