EXOTO TOMATOES: THE BEST VARIETIES AND MY REVIEWS ABOUT THEM
Tomatoes are my hobby. For how many years I have been saying - I will plant only a few of the most favorite varieties and that's it! So no. Someone throws seedlings of some unfamiliar variety, some seeds, and even from toffee, “I never tasted better” ... In a word, and last year, 7 new products were tested in my garden in addition to my favorite and proven varieties.
I already talked about the Raspberry toddler variety - the plants bore fruit all summer, and in the fall I transplanted the most beautiful bush into a 10-liter bucket and put it under the phytolamp. In winter, he continued to produce crops, albeit not so plentiful. In March, I blackened it, planted the seedlings in a greenhouse in May, and by the first days of June (and May turned out to be unexpectedly cold and rainy), it pleased us with fresh tomatoes. Now I can say that this is a wonderful all-season variety!
Malachite Box - my second experience with green-fruited tomatoes. The first, with the Boloto variety, was not very successful: it was not possible to “catch” ripe tomatoes in time, they were overripe and “flowed”. The malachite box reported very frankly about its ripening: a golden sheen appeared on the fruits. Cut - and inside is green-green flesh, except that single red strokes come across. You couldn't think of anything better for practical jokes: it was very pleasant to watch the play of emotions on the faces of people who first tried such tomatoes. Their taste is amazing, this is not food, but a delicacy, like an exotic fruit. Every day we "grazed the bushes" - but haven't new tomatoes ripened on them? The variety is fruitful, knitted 3-4 tomatoes per brush, and stably, along the entire height. So the Box also immediately went into the group of favorites.
Lucid Jam, aka Bright Gem, struck the imagination even before the fruit ripened. Its leaves are darker than those of the usual tomatoes, it cannot be confused even in seedlings. But the real shock is when the fruits begin to ripen. The fact is that they ... are blue, while immature, while ripening, they acquire a bright orange belly and an anthocyanin "tan" on their shoulders. According to my taste, I find it difficult to say who is more worthy of the first place - the Malachite Box or the Gem. They are clearly worth each other. This year I test them again, the benefit of the sun is much less, the rains. Let's see how these varieties gain sweetness and flavor under adverse conditions.
Tomato seeds Cordial waited for their term of 4 years, all hands did not reach them. But I tried - and was not disappointed. His bush, like other varieties with heart-shaped fruits, as they say, "hug and cry" - with rare drooping leaves and, to put it mildly, not handsome. But what a harvest! I have not seen such crazy productivity in any heart-shaped one! There are 4-6 fruits in a cluster, large, about the size of a chicken egg and larger, sweet, almost without acidity, but not fresh. In a word, in a salad, and for processing, and so enjoy it. However, if we compare the taste with the Gem and the Box, then I would put it in fourth place, after Novorossiya.
Tomato Novorossiya also came to me on the occasion. It was known about him that the fruits are large and tasty. And that's all. Already in the summer it turned out that the bushes are standard and determinant, and in the greenhouse their height did not exceed 70 cm. However, you cannot do without a garter! Thick stems, large fleshy numerous leaves reliably covered the fruits. A very useful property for the southern regions, where the sun burns tomatoes. However, in our climate, such an abundance of foliage attracted the tomato scoop, which purposefully laid eggs only in New Russia, avoiding other varieties. While the caterpillars are small, they are not visible: they modestly eat leaves somewhere in the depths of the bush. Growing up, the pests switch to ripening fruits and begin to gnaw holes in them. In a word, the first harvest of the largest fruits was seriously spoiled by the scoops.

Tomatoes are very attractive: poured heavy balls, bright scarlet, with yellow longitudinal stripes, fleshy and tasty. I put them on the table only in slices - along with the Box and the Gem. Amazing taste and table decoration! The yield is average, let's say, only the first fruits are very large, the rest are smaller (see photo). However, the variety seemed promising, you need to experiment with agricultural technology, you see, and the yield will get better. The fruits are stored very well, which cannot be said about the thin-skinned Box.
Rђ RІRѕS, Qingdao I did not go. At first, the bushes squeezed for a long time, missed the brushes, the stepsons diligently knitted, and finally, after spraying with boric acid, they tied 3-4 fruits. Chocolate color, beautiful, tasty ... But there were so few of them! Perhaps they did not like the conditions (after all, the seeds were brought from the south of Russia). In a word, the variety requires additional verification, and when sowing from its own seeds.
All the beauty of tomato varieties Babushkino At first I did not understand: powerful beautiful bushes - and without fruit. It turns out that they were remarkably camouflaged in the foliage until the size revealed their whereabouts. I had to urgently tie it up, otherwise the brushes would have broken off under the weight of the giant tomatoes. They poured painfully for a long time, clearly competing in size with watermelons. Handsome men! The first fruits on a plate fit a maximum of two pieces, and then "pushing the sides." In the photo, the tomatoes from the upper brushes, smaller. But the variety is good! Large-fruited, fantastically fruitful, but against the background of the others, it was still more technical for me because of the bright tomato taste. But for sauces - it's just a dream! Three tomatoes - here's a saucepan for you!
And finally, I'll tell you about the favorite tomatoes of past years, which I grow every year. Russian purple - tomato with a raspberry-brown skin color. His taste is so unexpected that among all the acquaintances whom she gave to try these tomatoes, there were no indifferent. True, opinions diverged diametrically: some people really liked the taste precisely because of its unexpectedness, while others categorically did not. I don't use it for blanks and storage - it's not easy, and the color after heat treatment, like other browns, is, let's say, specific. So I plant a maximum of 2 bushes, and eat the harvest fresh.
Anna German and Jubilee Tarasenko - yellow-fruited and red-fruited tomatoes, similar, like twins. These are perhaps the best varieties for storage and canning. Tomatoes weighing 40-70 g, each with a nice "nose", the brushes are very complex, they need a garter. After all, at the same Jubilee, the weight of the brush may well exceed 2 kg! The varieties are annually and consistently productive, with non-cracking fruits, but it is important to form them into 2-3 stems, otherwise the bushes will go to the tops.
Black cherry Is the only cherry-indet that has taken root in our country. The bush is very powerful, the length of the lashes can reach 3 m and more, and only autumn bad weather stops their expansion. Stepson's - the sea, so you can not leave the bushes unattended. Tomatoes are formed in clusters of 6-8 pieces, round, brown, sweet, like candy, the plants bear fruit until the autumn frosts. And when at the end of July I pinch the growth points of the Indians, these bushes remain in their original form. After all, how nice it is to come in September and collect a small bucket of fresh tomatoes!
