They are associated with red, but are named after yellow. The word "tomatoes" is composed of two Italian. “Pomo” means “gold”, and “doro” - “apple”. At the dawn of cultivation, it was yellow fruit varieties that were grown. They were brought to Italy from South America.

Traders presented the goods as Peruvian apples. In fact, the fruits are relatives of potatoes and tobacco, since they also belong to the family of the nightshade. Tobacco is fought in the 21st century.

To use it is considered unfashionable. But potatoes are called the second bread, and tomatoes are not far behind. Not only salads, soups, juices, but also medicine cannot do without them.

Doctors say that tomatoes prevent cancer. Not surprisingly, many are interested in how to plant tomatoes. Without golden apples cost rare garden. So, we proceed to study the issue.

When to plant tomatoes in 2016

Optimal for planting on the site sprouts, spent on the windowsill 45-55 days. From this and gardeners repel. The climate in different regions is different. Somewhere the earth thaws only by summer, and somewhere at the beginning of spring. Landing month is not important. The main thing is the aging period of tomato sprouts at home.

Why is the period from 45 to 55 days specified? Because there are early maturing varieties. On them, the fruits ripen in 100-105 days after germination. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the seedlings on the windowsill to a minimum. Mid-season tomatoes are poured on the 115th day. You can take out the shoots in the garden on the 50th day. Late-ripe tomatoes are harvested only on the 120th day. Therefore, seedlings are kept at home for almost two months.

Knowing the features of the selected varieties, it is possible to roughly calculate the date of harvest. Starting from it, you decide when to sow the seeds. Do you want tomatoes in early July? Will have to deal with seedlings in mid-March. But will it develop well tomato seedlings? When to plantwill prompt moon calendar.

It is believed that the plants quickly reach for the heavens, if the seeds are placed in the earth in the growing phase of the moon. In 2016, this is not the middle of March, but the end. The most favorable periods are from the 22nd to the 24th and from the 27th to the 29th.

When planting tomatoes, according to the lunar calendaror not, the decision is individual. The phases of the moon do not always coincide with the usual dates of sowing. For many, the beginning of March is convenient, especially if work is being done with early-maturing varieties.

However, this year, at the beginning of the month, the moon declined. The earliest landing date for the lunar calendar is the 7th. Need to have time before the 12th. The period is not the most favorable, but at least neutral.

Focusing on the lunar calendars, farmers turn to the wisdom of the millennia. During excavations in the vicinity of the city of Achinsk, records of the moon phases were found by month, created 18,000 years ago. The date coincides with the Paleolithic period. Found and the Mesolithic calendars, which are about 10,000 years old. One of these documents is found in Scotland.

In April, the lunar disk will increase after the first week of the month. The first favorable period whenworth plant tomatoes - from the 7th to the 13th. After, it was recommended to start the crops on April 22-23.

The last frontier is good for working with late-ripening tomatoes. The interval from the 7th to the 13th is the answer to the question when to plant tomato seedlingss ripennogo type. The following information will help determine the grade.

What varieties of tomatoes to plant

In question, what tomatoes to plantGardeners rely on several parameters. The first is the yield of the variety. Collect as many fruits from the bush as possible especially when growing tomatoes for sale and cultivating plants on a small plot of land. Recommended: « Pink raisins "," Honey drop "," Auria "," Renet "," Gift of the fairies. "

The varieties listed are good for greenhouses. If the plans for landing in open ground, you should choose between: "Roma", "Waterfall", "Anastasia", "Crimson Giant" and "Alpatyeva-905a."

Deciding which tomatoes are best planted, are guided not only by yield, but also the purpose of the fruit. Someone interested in salad varieties. These include, for example, “Anastasia” and “Waterfall”. For preservation, pickling, choose, as a rule, "Roma", "Pink Raisin", "Auria".

Do not lose sight of the climatic orientation of tomatoes. For harsh conditions, not all are suitable. Do not make money with "Spiridon" tomatoes, tomatoes "Orenburg", "Kemerovo", "Stepnyak-50" and "Siberian".

The latter variety is not only frost-resistant, harvested, but also has excellent taste. The fruits are fleshy and sweet. Here is another choice option - taste.

Making a bet on taste, I often choose “The Miracle of the Earth”. Its fruits are not only juicy, but also patient to drought. Deciding what varieties of tomatoov plant, order and "Dinu".

Its fruits are yellow, suitable for both preservation and for salads. The average yield is not more than 6 kilograms from a bush. The plant, by the way, tall, suitable for open ground.

At the hearing grade "Bull Heart". The name is given because of the heart-shaped shape of the tomatoes. Their taste is worth some trouble in growing. So, the shoots of the variety are high, they require garters. This, too, can become a criterion for selecting seeds.

Stunted bushes are usually easier to care for. Not picky: “Orange Princess”, “Duckling”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Talisman”. "Aztek" is grown even on balconies, so the bushes are dense, miniature and decorative.

It is necessary to choose between the cultivation of tomatoes in the ground, and in the greenhouse. They are accustomed to be in comfort: “Yarilo”, “Friend”, “Blagovest”, “Gina”, “Scorpio” and “Funtik.

They make it clear what kind of tomatoes to plant in the greenhouseif you want to get an early harvest. For mid-season are, for example, "Pink cheeks", and the late - "Chevalier".

The last nuance - the resistance of tomatoes to disease. In chronically infected ground they are able to bear fruit: “Budenovka”, “Chio-chio-san”, “Kostroma F-1”.

These varieties are not susceptible to late blight, mite, mosaic and many other infections. The main thing is not to ruin the plants at the planting stage. We will understand how to transfer shoots to the ground.

How to transplant tomatoes in the garden

When to plant tomatoes for seedlingsat 2016 year, figured out. How to transfer this seedling to a permanent place of residence? First, you need to wait for the soil to warm up. If the variety is not frost resistant, the tomatoes will not tolerate temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius.

Such indicators are in the summer, especially at night. Therefore, when planting seedlings in open ground, plants are covered, at least in the dark. Special films are sold in gardening stores, but ordinary polyethylene will do.

How to plant tomatoes for seedlingsintended for greenhouses? Plant normally, but after germination it is necessary to sometimes put the boxes in the greenhouse. So the bushes will get used to the conditions in which they are destined to bear fruit. Movement is carried out once every few days for at least a couple of hours.

Do not forget that greenhouses, especially industrial ones, are heated and not. In the last seedlings, it is also not recommended to place until the end of the period of possible frosts.

Interestingly, thermophilic tomatoes better take root in a light cool. Therefore, experienced gardeners transplant in the afternoon. It remains to harvest.

Once, they were flowers of tomatoes. When they were brought to Europe, Westerners found the fruit poisonous and inedible. The plant began to plant for the sake of flowers, as a decorative culture. In England, for example, tomatoes were decorated with royal greenhouses.

The lunar calendar is compiled for growing tomatoes in a seedling manner in Central Russia. And then I will tell you how I choose dates for Kuban.

The first table contains the sowing and planting dates for growing tomatoes in a greenhouse or greenhouse. The second table - with the terms of sowing and planting tomatoes for open ground.

The lunar calendar will help us calculate the timing of sowing seeds for seedlings. When to sow tomatoes for seedlings? When to dive seedlings? When to plant in the ground?

Terms of planting tomatoes in open ground in the Krasnodar Territory - 05.04 - 15.04.

WHEN TO GROW TOMATOES IN CROWN IN 2016?

But the dates of planting tomato seeds for seedlings in all regions are different. The most important thing is the recommended date of planting seedlings in open or closed ground for a particular region. For example, for Kuban it is April 5-15, for Moscow region and central Russia - May 25-30 (open ground).

To calculate the date, again, we will use information on the dates of planting tomatoes in open ground in the Kuban. Experts advise dates from April 5 to April 15. Check these dates with the lunar calendar for 2016.

If you believe long-term forecasts, night frosts in the Kuban to minus 5 degrees can be all March (especially from March 17 to March 27). This winter, I noticed that the forecast frost is constantly in a hurry, and they come later for a few days or last longer. Therefore, I personally, for planting seedlings in open ground will focus on mid-April. So to calculate the date of sowing seeds of tomatoes in seedlings, choose April 15.

So, from April 55, we count back 60 days and get the date February 15. I’m going to sow today. It’s better late than, like many last year, to end up with frozen seedlings in the ground at the end of March ...

So look at the forecast for your climate zone, you probably have a few more weeks, and you shouldn’t hurry, plant seedlings later, but it will get more light, it won't stretch so much, and it certainly won't die from frost.

Tasty tomatoes to you!

February and March are the months when we actively start making tomatoes. Choose the best tomato seeds, stock up on land and pots for seedlings. Let's see what works are performed by real gardeners, and most importantly, how and when to plant tomatoes for seedlings.

February - the right time to purchase soil and prepare boxes for seedlings of pepper, tomato and eggplant. All future harvest is laid in the seedling period. By the way, it will be said that plant transplantation is a compulsory measure to which gardeners are forced to resort to earlier plant development and accelerate fruit ripening.

When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2016

Tall tomatoes, as well as peppers and eggplant are sown on seedlings in late February from the 20th to the 10th of March.
Tomatoes that are planning to transplant in the greenhouse as early as April are planted on seedlings in February on planting days. These are on February 13, 14, 15 and February 18, 2016.
Early and mid-ripening varieties of tomato are sown on seedlings in March, on favorable planting days. In 2016, tomato seedlings are planted on -13 and 16 March. Possible planting of tomatoes in the period of the growing moon, which in 2016 lasts from the 10th to the 22nd of March.
In April, there are several favorable days when you can plant tomatoes on seedlings, if you have not already done so. In this case, choose sowing on seedlings of superdeterminate undersized varieties and hybrids for open ground, ultra-early varieties or cherry tomatoes. The best days for planting tomatoes in April are 8, 9 and 14 number.

When planting large tomato seeds and tomatoes.

Large, very tall varieties of tomatoes, such as Russian Size, Pink Giant, Bull Heart, as a rule are late-ripening, therefore they should be planted in the third decade of February.

How to plant tomatoes in seedlings.

Preparation of tomato seeds for planting according to the method tested by grandma:

To plant tomatoes on seedlings at home soak tomato seeds in advance. Wrap the seeds in a cloth or bandage and moisten with warm water. Let lie so day.
Stock up on fertile land, you can buy, and you can dig in the garden in the fall. Pour the ground into a fairly large container - for example, a cake lid.
Water the cooked soil slightly to make it wet. Lightly palm the ground.
At a distance of 3 cm from each other, place the seeds on the ground, sprinkle the ground on top very slightly. And again clap the palm rest.
Now water well. And on top, cover the seedling box with glass or just a bag to create a greenhouse effect.
Put the box in a warm dark place.
After a couple of days, when tomato sprouts appear, remove the film and place the box in a bright place.

Many gardeners follow the same method and sow tomato seeds exactly 4 to 4 in a box with humus soil. After planting the seeds, cover the container with film or glass and place in a warm place. With the advent of sprouts, after 3-4 days the film is removed and put the seedlings on the bright window sill. If the window on which the box with the seedlings is not south, then put a fluorescent lamp so that the tomato seedlings receive enough light for development.

How to grow tomato seedlings.

As soon as you have the first shoots of tomato seedlings do not forget to feed them. Fertilizing should begin as soon as the seedbed leaves turn and the plant goes to root-feeding, you should not wait for the appearance of real leaves. Combine top dressing with irrigation, that is, instead of water for irrigation, use a weak fertilizer solution. “Uniflor-bud” is suitable for this, if you do not find such top dressing, then you can use “Chemira-Lux” or flower dressing. It is enough to dilute 1 teaspoon for 3-5 liters of water.

It should be noted that these solutions are worth unlimited time. Seedlings should be watered moderately, the soil should be slightly wet. When growing in a greenhouse, use an automatic irrigation system. A typical mistake gardeners - excessive watering. This leads to:

root killing due to lack of oxygen
souring the soil
the appearance of the black fruit fly-thrush, feeding on plant rot.

It is necessary to transplant the seedlings to a larger place after 20 days, so that for each plant there is a place measuring 12 x 12 cm. This place will be enough for another 20 days. 45 day seedlings are planted in the ground under the film or in a polycarbonate greenhouse. When transplanting seedlings of tomatoes, take the plant along with the cubes of the soil, so as not to damage the roots.

When growing seedlings in a winter greenhouse, install LED lights for greenhouses.

In this case, do not forget that seedlings - this is a plant. And you need to treat it as an adult plant, if you give it a little light or space, then tomato seedlings will grow bad. From bad seedlings will not make a good plant. He will not catch up and not make up, he will only pretend, but in fact he will not give half of the harvest.

A good tomato seedling is when the plant grows without being disturbed, in an open, sunny place, with plenty of heat, nutrition and moisture. The main rule of seedlings: each plant space and light! Good seedlings grow more in breadth than height. A month later, the trunk of the seedling tomato should be as thick as a pencil. LED lighting comes to the rescue.

When planting tomato seeds, peppers, eggplants for seedlings

When to sow seeds for seedlings? When to plant tomatoes for seedlings, and when pepper or eggplant? Sowing dates - when will they come? When to plant seedlings? Terms of planting tomatoes, how to calculate? These are the questions that usually begin to worry gardeners from January of each year.

If you have opened this page, then surely pleasant spring troubles are approaching: it's time to start growing seedlings, using all the possibilities for this: greenhouses, greenhouses, crates, seed pots, peat tablets.

Each culture has its own time of emergence of seedlings after sowing. These data will be useful to us to correctly calculate the time of sowing seeds for seedlings, up to a specific day.

When shoots appear

tomato shoots appear after 6-10 days;
cucumbers - 3-7 days after sowing;
pepper - 7-15 days;
squash, squash, pumpkin - after 3-10 days;
lettuce - 4-10 days;
black onions - 5-12 days;
cauliflower - 3-8 days;
cabbage - 3-10 days;
eggplants - 5-10 days;
celery, rhubarb - 7-14 day.

When to plant seedlings in a greenhouse or open ground

Celery is planted 60-80 days after germination;
onions - in 60-70 days;
cabbage - after 50 days;
peppers and tomatoes - after 60 days;
eggplants - in 65-70 days;
zucchini and cucumbers - in 30-40 days.

Calculating the date of sowing seeds on seedlings

Let's calculate when to plant eggplants for growing seedlings - the calculation is valid for any region, only the days of planting under the open sky or the greenhouse each has its own. Planted them 65-70 days after germination, later than tomatoes or peppers, as they are more thermophilic. Therefore, we will be planting seedlings of eggplants approximately in the second half of April (from April 15 to April 30). Counting back on the calendar 70 days - we get the date - February 5-20. Usually eggplants do not sprout as fast as tomatoes or peppers, they need 8-12 days to get out of the ground. Again, on the calendar, counting back 8-12 days. We receive - on February 11-13. So, by this time we need to prepare the soil, containers, seeds.

That is, if briefly, the formula is as follows:

date of sowing seeds for seedlings = (planting day - for open ground or greenhouse) minus (number of days from germination to planting) minus (number of days required for pecking).

Of course, the weather can make its own adjustments, so the calculations are just a guideline. Actually, before counting the day of sowing any crop — tomatoes, peppers, or eggplants — for example, I am always interested in the long-term weather forecast for April, May, and June. If, for example, April is expected to be cool, then the seedlings will have to be planted later.

Tomato seedling outgrown

On the one hand, there is nothing terrible, but remember April 2015 here (Kuban). Overgrown plants had to be planted in early May - cold April did not allow it to be done in the right time. Therefore, experience tells me that it is better to plant a little later calculated terms. It is better to plant small seedlings (after all, it is enough that the plants have 5-6 true leaves) than an overgrown one.

What do my previous arguments say? That

gardening is a creative process, which means there is a place for improvisation in it!

One of the readers of my blog, who moved to Krasnodar Krai from Siberia, shared her thoughts when to plant: “My first summer here was successful. Almost everything has grown. But I acted like this: I compared the weather of the Siberian and Kuban ones - I planted it 1.5-2 months earlier. ”

Be sure to adjust the planting dates and planting dates to the recommendations of the lunar calendar gardener Kuban - 2016.

When to plant pepper for seedlings in 2016

Most often they ask me when to plant pepper - they want to know for sure. But no one will say a specific date, but it is possible to calculate approximately. Pepper is a more thermophilic plant than tomatoes, so it is planted later.

Experts believe that the best time for planting pepper seedlings for Kuban:

open ground - from 25.04 to 10.05;
unheated greenhouse - two to three weeks earlier - from about 4.04 to 26.04.

open ground - from May 20 to June 10;
greenhouse - two or three weeks earlier - April 29 to May 20.

Using the formula I quoted above, for sowing we get the following dates:

in Kuban, sowing pepper seeds to grow seedlings for the greenhouse should be January 20-25, and for open ground - from 10.02 to 1.03;
the approximate periods in central Russia are as follows: plant for a greenhouse from 19.02 to 11.03, and for open ground from 11.03 to 1.04.

So, in 2016, it was recommended to Kuban residents to plant pepper seeds for seedlings for planting in open ground on February 18-19 or March 12-13, and for the greenhouse these are the next dates - January 21-23 or February 9-11 (dates should be clarified seeing the weather forecast for April-May).

In 2016, for central Russia, the dates for sowing seeds of pepper for planting in open ground are as follows: March 16–18 or April 8–10, and dates for the greenhouse are the last week of February or the beginning of March.

Be sure to note that the delicate roots of the pepper do not tolerate picking, so it is better to plant the seeds immediately in separate pots with a diameter of about 8 cm or peat tablets with a diameter of at least 4 cm.

When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2016

A very topical issue for all gardeners. The calculation for all regions is the same. But the days when planting tomatoes are different in all regions. The most important thing is the recommended date of planting seedlings for open or closed ground for a particular region. For example, for Kuban it is April 5-15, for Moscow region and central Russia - May 25-30 (open ground or temporary shelter).

To calculate the date, again, we use information on the planting dates of tomatoes in the Krasnodar Territory. Experts advise - from April 5 to April 15. Check these dates with the lunar calendar - 2016. Calendar advises planting tomatoes on April 19-21. This is a bit later. But perhaps the weather conditions just make us do it even later. Suddenly spring will be cold.

If you believe long-term forecasts, the site novokubansk.nuipogoda.ru/april.html promises night frosts in my Novokubansk district to -2 ° C just in the first half of April (April 7, 8, 9), and in the second half of April the average temperature air + 10-15 ° C - this is also cool. Therefore, you can take to calculate the end of April-early May. Just keep in mind that the lunar calendar 2016 prohibits anything planted April 29-30.

But for now, to calculate the date of planting of seedlings of tomatoes in open ground, choose April 19-21. And if the air temperature is below 15 ° C, then they can be landed under a temporary shelter. Frost in the second half of April 2016 seems to be expected. Toward the end of April, we, of course, will orient ourselves better. In the meantime, let it be so.

So, from April 19-21 we count back 60 days and get the date February 19-20. Presumably, our tomatoes should rise about February 19-20. And they rise 6-10 days. So I have to sow tomatoes for seedlings from about February 10 to 14.

I know that many will decide that it is early. Honestly, I think so too. My experience of the past two years has shown that something happened to our climate. It was the last two years that I planted overgrown tomato seedlings. The experience of last season - even had to lay the seedlings. There was no trouble - the harvest was not bad. It is believed that even useful to plant tomatoes lying, they say, the root system will be more powerful and plants can get more nutrients from the soil. But, if I had a plot near my house, then I would not particularly consider the earlier landing so carefully. But I, and maybe not only me, have to deliver the seedlings to the landing site. Cottage, though not far from home, but still not close. Therefore, it is more comfortable for me to plant normal, not overgrown tomato seedlings.

Decide for yourself! Determine for yourself the approximate date of planting in open ground. Count out from it 60 days ago. And subtract the received date even 6-10 days ago. Get your sowing date for tomato seedlings.

For residents of the middle lane, the time for planting seedlings for open ground is the end of May and the beginning of June. This means that the optimum sowing time for tomatoes is the end of March. But this is a rough calculation. I think we should take these terms to my colleagues, gardeners from central Russia, as a basis. See the long-term weather forecast: from the end of May to the first half of June 2016. And be sure to adjust these dates to reflect the weather forecast for your region. Of course, consider the recommendations of the lunar calendar.

This is what I did for the Nizhny Novgorod region (the Non-Black Earth Region). The optimal time for planting tomatoes in open ground is the first decade of June. According to the lunar calendar, the optimal day for planting tomatoes - the beginning of June - specifically - June 6-7. And the same site promises warm weather these days - + 25ºС - nnov.nuipogoda.ru/june.html. Counting back 60 days - we get the date - April 8-9. 6-10 days ago - and now it is the date of sowing seeds of tomatoes for the Nizhny Novgorod region - March 30-31. Again, look at the lunar calendar. Astrologers do not recommend planting March 30, 2016. The moon will favor tomatoes sown on March 16-18, but it is too early. Therefore, for the Nizhny Novgorod region, good days for planting tomato seeds for seedlings will be March 31.

When to sow tomatoes?

Many tomato growers ask this question regularly. Some who sow in February, some in April, some people manage to “torture” especially valuable varieties for years — they leave their stepson in the fall, and all the winter they marinate him in a pot, constantly cutting off the top that is pulled out in low light conditions and pot…

But actually I was distracted from the main idea - the timing of landing.
When to sow tomatoes, in conditions conditionally close to the Moscow region?

January. In principle, I do not even want to consider such an option, but for a short time ...

January 15 sunrise 08:41, sunset 16:28, while at 12 o'clock in the afternoon the height of the sun above the horizon is only 12.63º. If you are not going to illuminate the seedlings with metal halide or at least just Very Powerful fluorescent lamps, and if you plant tomatoes you are not in the Well Heated Greenhouse, then even the latest varieties of tomatoes, which conditionally can be kept on the window for 60 days, will turn into these 60 days in stunted blades of grass, creeping on the ground under its own weight.

February. Very many Sophisticated Tomatoes sow tomatoes in February. Apparently in the old fashioned way it is believed that the more the plant will hold on the window - the faster the first tomato in the salad will turn out ... This is not so, however, why this is not so considered in the subsequent entries.

February, 15. Sunrise 07:48, sunset 17:31, height above the horizon at 12 o'clock in the afternoon - 20.85º. Not much better than in January, aren't you?

Tomatoes, which have risen in mid-February, will have time to stretch out and catch almost the same as the poor fellows planted in January. However, in the presence of the aforementioned powerful lighting (and this is not the only first available fluorescent light bulb on the full sill of the seedling - it’s a bit puffy illumination ...) yes .. so, in the presence of proper lighting and a heated greenhouse, planting tomatoes in February makes sense to get early fruits. But only in the presence of lighting and greenhouses with heating.

March. Rooks flew, drops, thawed patches and other attributes of the average spring. A merry poimdovod joyfully rubbing his hands pulls out sachets of seeds from a zagashnik, popular wisdom says.

March 15th. Sunrise 06:41, sunset 18:28, the height of the sun above the horizon at 12 noon - 31.45º. Already something! However, a sophisticated tomato grower does not relax, but a fluorescent lamp also reaches. Because in the morning and evening hours, as well as on cloudy days, highlighting seedlings in the first half of March is almost mandatory.

Tomatoes that have risen in mid-March will undoubtedly be stronger and, more importantly, more prolific than their older brothers, which rose in February. Why more prolific? Because the beginnings of the future harvest are laid in the first weeks of the plant's life. If a sprung tomato gets a lot of sunlight, the plant “counts” what has fallen into favorable conditions and programs a high yield.
And if the ascended tomatoes of light do not get enough, then according to the program laid down in them, they will try their best to stretch themselves, outgrow the competitors surrounding them for the sunlight! Unfortunately, they do not understand that it is dark to them not because they are shaded by other plants in the neighborhood, but because they are just on the window in cloudy weather.

April. Sow the seeds in the middle April is perhaps somewhat presumptuous ... with the exception of perhaps the most precocious superdeterminant varieties. However, tomatoes sown at the very end of March - beginning of April will be the healthiest and strongest, and in unheated greenhouses or open ground they will surely overtake their fellow planters planted in February or early March.

April 15, sunrise 05:22, sunset 19:29, the height of the sun above the horizon at 12 o'clock in the afternoon 40.65º. This month, if tomatoes need more light, then only on the most cloudy days.

Usually, tomato varieties and hybrids are recommended to be grown in seedlings for no more than 60 days (late indeterminant varieties, such as San Marzano, de Barao, bullish heart. It should be noted that the volume of soil for each plant during this period of cultivation must be at least 1 liter Optimum - 3-5 liters. On our window sills with you, it is usually not easy to place such pots, therefore it is much more sensible not to torture the plants, but to leave them to grow on the windowsill for no more than 50-55 days.

It follows from the above that when planting tomatoes in an unheated greenhouse on May 10 - minus 45 days at the window = March 26, minus about a week for seed germination = March 19.

Those. in the Moscow region and similar climatic and light conditions, it is optimal to plant tomato seeds for unheated greenhouses in mid-late March, and early varieties (hybrids) for open ground - in late March-mid-April.

Dear friends, who among you sows tomatoes in February - please share your arguments in favor of such dates of sowing on the forum!

When to plant peppers, cucumbers and tomatoes for seedlings in 2016

In order for peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers to delight you with a good harvest, you need to know the timing of planting these crops for seedlings. In no case can not be in a hurry to plant, and for a long time to stay with it, because the plants will be weak.

When to plant peppers for seedlings in 2016

When planting peppers, you can focus on the dates that are indicated on the bag of seeds. For example, on seeds that are preferably grown in central Russia, this is the middle of February. It is important to take into account the factor that for most varieties of pepper, the period from germination to fruiting is 110-130 days.

From the above, we conclude that in 2016, in the Moscow region and in the surrounding regions, it is best to plant seeds of peppers for seedlings in the second or third decade of February. The latest date is March 15th.

If you are focusing on the lunar calendar when planting crops, then the most suitable days for peppers are February 10, 11, 20, 25 and 27, as well as March 13, 14 and 15.

When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2016

Some gardeners start planting tomatoes for seedlings at the end of January or in February, but it is worth remembering that this time is not the best for sowing these crops in central Russia, because daylight is still too short. In general, the optimal time from planting tomatoes to planting them in open ground is 60-70 days, so if you are not the owner of a heated greenhouse, hurrying with the sowing is unnecessary. March is the most suitable month for planting tomatoes, but only the second half of it, with the latter days being preferable. If you are wondering about when to plant tomatoes for seedlings in the Moscow region, then simple calculations will help to calculate this. For example, planting seedlings in a greenhouse, mainly occurs in mid-May, that is, the 15th. From the beginning of the landing and before landing in the greenhouse, 50 days should pass (slightly less than for landing in open ground). Total, it turns out that March 27 is the most suitable day for planting tomatoes.

When to plant tomatoes for seedlings in 2016 according to the lunar calendar

All gardeners who use the lunar calendar for planting seedlings should consider that in 2016 the most suitable days are February 5, 6, 16, 17, 18 and 22, as well as 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14 , March 15, 17, 21 and April 10, 11, 12 and 13.

When to plant cucumbers for seedlings in 2016

It depends on a considerable number of factors, for example, the warming of the soil in your region of residence, whether you have a greenhouse or are you going to transplant plants in open ground, etc. Since the seedlings after planting cucumbers appear only three days later (subject to cultivation at 25 degrees), and the most suitable age of these plants for transplantation is 15-20 days, then this information must be considered first of all. In central Russia, the soil warms to the optimum temperature for cucumber seedlings by mid-May, and from this we conclude that the end of April is the right time to plant this crop.

According to the lunar calendar, the most optimal days for sowing cucumbers are the following numbers:

March - 26, 29 and 30 numbers;

April - 7, 8, 11, 22, 23;

May - 9, 10, 11 and 22 number;

June - 5, 11 and 12.

How to plant tomato seedlings: seed treatment, planting dates, soil preparation, planting tanks, planting process, rules of care, instructions, photos, video

To seedlings grow well, you need to properly prepare the land for her.

You can mix 1 part of sod land, 1 part of humus (compost), 1 part of peat. 2-3 g of superphosphate are added to 1 kg of soil. Combinations of the components can be different - it all depends on what is available. Humus can be replaced by compost, mullein, rotted manure.

Important: you can sow seedlings in special soils for tomatoes, which are sold in the shops of gardeners. But planting a tomato in a potted soil for flowers on seedlings is not recommended.

What to plant seedlings

When to sow correctly is understandable. It remains to figure out where to plant the seedlings. The best choice would be planting in peat cups, which are now sold. If the peat cups are too uneconomical for money, then it is quite possible to use the material at hand: juice boxes, milk boxes, plastic bottles that have the top cut off, plastic cups. Many gardeners prefer to plant that way.

The main thing before planting tomato seedlings, it is necessary to organize drainage in these tanks, arranging a drainage hole at the bottom. Water should not stagnate in tanks, otherwise you can never grow good seedlings - it will grow bad and rot.

Four factors affecting the yield of tomatoes (video)

Planting seeds for seedlings

Pre-seed can be planted in boxes, where they grow up to the first picks. Pre-boxes are filled with prepared soil and one day before it is decided to sow the seedlings of early-ripening or mid-season tomatoes, pour it so that the water is absorbed and the glass.

The next day, you can start planting seeds. They are laid out on the ground, keeping a distance of 1-2 cm between them and sprinkling the earth on top by 1 cm. When the seeds are sown, water the earth from a spray bottle so as not to erode it.

To reduce the time of seed germination, on top of the boxes can be covered with plastic wrap. Time about her time is removed, so that the earth does not turn sour and the seeds do not burn out from the heat. After emergence of shoots, the film can be removed for a longer time. When the seedlings are completely stronger, the film is removed. This usually occurs after 4 days. Now tomatoes will grow on their own.

Tomato seeds for seedlings should be grown in a moist soil

When the first 2 true leaves appear, the seedlings are taken out of the box, diving. Next, it should be planted in individual containers. After picking, the seedlings are watered well. For several days, the air temperature should be lowered, so the plants will get stronger faster.

Seedling care

When we grow seedlings of peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, it is important to maintain the correct schedule of watering and temperature.

In order for tomatoes to grow strong, the air temperature should be 14-18 degrees. At temperatures above 25 degrees seedlings begin to stretch. When the seedlings stretch, it weakens. If this happens it is necessary to lower the temperature even to 10 degrees for a while. Also, in order for the seedlings not to stretch, it must be watered abundantly, trying to ensure that the earth is completely moist. Watering is necessary from the sprayer, so as not to erode the soil.

Important: It is necessary to constantly turn over the containers with seedlings, one or the other side to the light. So we grow up beautiful, not one-sided tomato seedlings.

Do not forget about feeding, it must be done 2-3 times for the entire period of cultivation

Feed Schedule:

1 top dressing: in 10 days after shoots.
2 feeding: 10 days after the first.
3 feeding: 8-10 days after the second.

For feeding take 1 part of the mullein, 8 parts of water. To 10 l of solution add 30 g of superphosphate.

You can also spray tomato seedlings with microelements a couple of times - like biostimulants are sold in stores.

Two weeks before the moment when it was decided to plant the plants in the ground, the seedlings must begin to harden. Indoors reduce the air temperature to 6-10 degrees. As a rule, for this purpose, the seedlings are simply brought to the balcony, first for a short time. Then stay on the balcony prolonged until the plants are accustomed to the ambient temperature outside.

Grow strong strong resistant to the environment of the seedlings can be without much hassle. For planting in the ground age of seedlings should be 45-50 days. This must be taken into account when planting seeds and determining the time of planting in greenhouses.

Growing tomatoes in open ground

Taking over, testing different methods growing tomatoes in open field, we will stop on the following which allows to receive a good harvest.

One of the methods planting tomatoes (tomatoes) in the open ground. Soil preparation, seedlings, diving, watering and fertilizing, as well as useful tips on cultivation.

Soil preparation and planting tomatoes

The soil for seedlings to cook in the fall, stored on the balcony in boxes of 50 × 20 cm. composition depending on the degree of decomposition of humus.

Well decomposed humus is mixed with garden soil in a ratio of 2: 1, less decomposed-1: 1, avian-1: 2.

300 g of ash is added to the bucket of the mixture, half of the ash can be replaced by 25 g of superphosphate, 50 g of superphosphate are added without ashes.

It is necessary to warm up the earth in spring, 4–5 days before seeding, shed hot potassium permanganate solution (2 g per 10 l of water).

Seeds sort by salt solution (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water), hold for 3-5 minutes while stirring vigorously, select the settled ones, rinse and for 20-25 minutes. immerse potassium permanganate in solution (1 g per 100 g of water), rinse again. Put in one-day settled ash solution (2 tablespoons per 1 liter of water) for 6 h. Cover the seeds in the middle of a coma of snow and place in the freezer for 2-3 days.

It should be sown with a distance between rows of 3 cm, in rows of 15-2 cm, planting depth 0.5 cm. Sow in well-spilled grooves, fall asleep with damp earth (if you fall asleep with earth, not moistening, seedlings will be with seeds). Then cover the box with foil and put in a warm place.

Tomato seedling care

After the emergence of shoots, transfer the boxes to the window sill, the temperature should be reduced for 5-6 days, in the daytime to 15-18 ° С , at night up to 8-10 ° C (at lower temperatures, the seedlings turn blue, which cannot be allowed in early development).
Then the temperature must be raised to 22-25 ° C during the day, 10-12 ° C at night.

Dive shoots in the phase of formation of the third sheet. The required food area is 10 × 10 cm. Remove the first true leaf, bend the stem clockwise.

Dive better in the evening; during the day, the stem dehydrates and becomes more flexible. Do not plant in wet ground. After diving, water the pink solution of potassium permanganate. Mulch dry on top. The box is installed in a place protected from sunlight.

Water with snow water, daily infusion of ash, a solution of superphosphate (1 tbsp. Per 10 liters of water), a pink solution of potassium permanganate.

Nitrogen fertilizers do not apply.Water the seedlings of tomatoes should be in the morning.

Sowing time depends on the variety. Early maturing varieties are planted on April 10, mid-ripening - on April 1, late ripening - on March 20. Part of the seedlings can then be planted under a temporary shelter on May 20-25, for this purpose it is necessary to sow 15-20 days earlier than when grown in open ground, but not earlier than March 14.

As soon as the air temperature is set at + 10 ° C, boxes should be taken out onto the street or on the balcony, shaded and protected from winds for 5-10 days. If there is no frost, you can leave for the night. The stem grows stronger, blue, growth slows.

7-8 days before planting in open ground, seedlings in boxes are divided into cubes, watered with a solution of superphosphate.

Planting tomatoes in open ground

It is better not to raise beds (80-85 cm wide) above the general level, the tracks can be simply tread. At 1 m 2 of the beds make a bucket of compost, humus (bird's-less), 20 g of superphosphate and 10-15 g of kalimaga (if not added in the fall). Ridges are framed by roller.

A week before planting, dig a wide groove in the middle, fertilize it at the rate of 2-3 kg of humus or compost, one tablespoon (no slides) of superphosphate, a little more ash, on a pinch of used dry tea and chopped egg shells per plant.

Spread the roots in such a way that the tops of the lying stems look in opposite directions of the ridge. Plants are laid on the ground lying, the stems are dug, the leaves on the buried stem can be removed during planting, leaving a free tip of 20 cm.

After planting, it is necessary to water well, sprinkle the earth with humus or dry earth. The distance between plants is 60-70 cm. Between early 45-50 cm. Hilling is not required for such planting. In the future, you need to loosen the ground finely, since roots are formed on the stem along the entire length of the powder.

We can not allow that when watering the water fell on the plants, pollen is washed off, and the plants begin to hurt. To prevent phytophthora develop, it is recommended to water it with a solution of manganese (2 g per 10 l of water) before planting, after the appearance of the first ovary and before ripening on the first brush, 0.5 l of solution for each plant.

Sowing tomatoes

Pay special attention to pasynkovanie. To receive fruits of earlier maturing, it is necessary to form a plant in one stalk. With the formation of 3-4 brushes, the top should be pinched, leaving 2-3 sheets above the last brush. All formed stepchildren are regularly removed. Of course, this leads to a loss of harvest, so this technique can be allowed for several roots.

In Siberian conditions to obtain good harvest in the open field medium and late ripening varieties should be formed into two stems, leaving the main stem and stepson under the first brush. In this stepson, floral brushes are laid on the 1st-3rd or 4th leaf, depending on the variety, as well as on the main stem after laying the first brush.

Everything stepchildren in the sinuses leaves need to be removed with a length of 3-5 cm, leaving flower brush on the main stem and on the stem of the left stepson. When removing the stepson, leave a stump. This is not a difficult technique if you treat it carefully.

In early ripening varieties for early ripening of fruits in the formation of a certain number of floral brushes should tear off all appearing stepchildren. If you are satisfied with the taste of early ripening, you can combine two methods — form into one or two stems and leave no more than four brushes on each of them.

Top dressing and watering of tomatoes

Well-filled soils do not require nitrogen supplements. As soon as the first brush is poured, it is necessary 2-3 times to give dressing from ash (1 cup per 10 liters of water, spending on 8-10 bushes) or a weak solution of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (no more than 2 tablespoons per bucket of water).

Nitrogen fertilizers develop a powerful aboveground part, delaying the ripening of fruits. When the fruits are poured and begin to ripen, abundant watering is not needed, especially if there was a dry period before, as an excess of moisture causes the fruits to crack.

In July, during hot, windless weather at noon, you should shake flowering plants for better pollination.

Tomato belongs to the solanaceous crops and is a valuable vegetable, imported to Europe at the beginning of the XVI century. In Russia, it has been cultivated since the end of the 18th century. Now tomato takes the 2nd place among vegetable crops in the degree of prevalence. In our country it is grown on 250 thousand hectares, which is about a quarter of the total area occupied by vegetables.

Excellent taste, wide distribution, high productivity and varied application led to the popularity of tomatoes.

Growing tomatoes can be done indoors and outdoors on summer cottage. It is necessary to take a closer look at what the value of the crop is and how to grow tomatoes.

Valuable properties of tomatoes

Tomatoes are isolated from all vegetable crops with abundant content of vitamins C, B1, B3, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, iron, calcium, magnesium, carotene, mineral salts, aromatic substances, sugars, citric and malic acids, fructose, lycopene.

The amount of nutrients depends on the place of growth, methods of cultivation, methods of care and other reasons.

Tomatoes are known for their antidepressant properties, vegetables have a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract, nervous system, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal action, promote weight loss due to low calorie content. Every year, the popularity of tomatoes is growing.

Planting tomato seedlings on seedlings

To grow tomatoes need a selection of good healthy seeds, which are used for planting seedlings. Before sowing, seeds are soaked in a nutrient solution. For the preparation of 1 liter of solution take 1 tsp. wood ash. It can be replaced with 1 tsp. nitrophosphate, 2 g of the drug "Bud", 1 tsp. liquid fertilizer "Effecton" or 1 tsp. fertilizer "Agricola Vegeta".

The selected drug is diluted in 1 liter of water. Soak the seeds in cloth bags for 24 hours at a temperature of 20-25 ° C. Next, hold the hardening of seeds. A cloth bag with seeds is placed in a polyethylene bag and placed in a refrigerator for 2 days. Freezer can not be used. After this time, the seeds should be planted immediately in the previously prepared soil for growing seedlings.

The soil is prepared from equal parts of turf, peat, humus. On the bucket mix add 1 tsp. superphosphate, potassium sulfate, urea. The mixture is best heated in an oven for 20 minutes at 100 ° C. Lightly poured soil mixture is poured on a baking sheet with a layer of 4-5 cm and left in the oven. Then they start sowing seeds for seedlings in peat pots, which are sold in many garden stores. The pots are filled with soil mixture, not getting to the top 1 cm, watered with a solution for soaking the seeds. In each pot is placed 1 seed to a depth of 1-1.5 cm, the seeds are not watered on top.

You can use special cells and boxes for growing seedlings. In this case, the seeds are planted with an interval of 5-6 cm. Seeds for seedlings are sown 45-75 days before transplantation into open ground. Planted seeds are kept in a bright room (greenhouse, room) with a constant temperature of 22 ° C. The first watering of the emerged shoots is not great. The second watering is done after 14 days and combine it with top dressing. For the third time, seedlings are watered 3-4 hours before picking and transplanting.

Seedling care

Care for seedlings is watering, feeding, airing. Boxes with seedlings should be daily deployed to the light by different sides so that the plants do not stretch out to one side. The first root dressing of plants is done when the plants have 1 true leaf. For fertilizing it is good to use the fertilizer "Agricola-Forward", bred 1 tsp. its in 1 liter of water. The second root feeding is done with the advent of the 3rd true leaflet. In 1 liter of water diluted drug "Effect". The third dressing is carried out after picking.

Plants dive (seated) with the advent of the second sheet. Before planting for 2 hours, the seedlings are watered with potassium permanganate solution, spend 1 g per bucket of water, completely moisten the root system. Seedlings grown in peat pots, in most cases, do not dive. For picking use a box in which they put plastic, peat or cups of dense polyethylene, fastening them together with paper clips. The containers for the seedlings are filled with soil mixture, they do not fill up to the edges 1-2 cm, leaving this volume for bedding, they are watered. Seedlings deepened to the middle of the stem.

12 days after planting, the plants are fed (third feeding). For carrying out feeding in a bucket of water dissolve 1 tbsp. l potassium nitrate and double superphosphate at the rate of 1/2 Art. fluid on the pot. 3 weeks before planting, tomato seedlings are trained to direct sunlight and a temperature of 15 ° C, hardened, while young plants are removed from the greenhouse for a day, after which they can be kept in the air at night. Hardened seedlings produce a wonderful harvest. The optimum age of tomatoes for planting in the ground - 2 months.

Choosing a place for planting tomato seedlings and preparing soil mixture

On the territory of the Russian Federation, planting time for tomatoes in the ground is limited. They are usually planted in the first decade of June, until that time there are threats of frost. Growing tomatoes is problematic in places where solanaceous plants used to grow. This will hurt the growth of seedlings and further care for vegetables. Growing tomatoes is best done at the site of legumes, roots, greens, carrots, onions.

Tomatoes are in great need of light, the place for planting is given away by the sun, protected from the wind. For cultivation is not suitable wet areas with close groundwater, adversely affecting the root system of tomatoes. This culture is not too demanding on the composition of the soil, fertile soils. The optimum acidity of the soil is pH = 5.5.

On sandy and loamy soils, mineral and organic fertilizers should be applied, and drainage should be done. During the growing season, the formation and growth of fruits, the need of tomatoes for nutrients increases, fertilization is required.

The main mineral nutrients of tomatoes are phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen. When phosphorus is deficient in plants, nitrogen is poorly absorbed, growth stops, and the set, formation and ripening of fruits is delayed. The plants are sick, the color of the leaves becomes blue-green, then gray. A lack of phosphorus causes the leaves to roll inward. At the beginning of growth is best to make superphosphate for the proper development of tomatoes.

With intensive growth, the culture needs nitrogen, and potassium is required for the proper development of the stems. Excess nitrogen leads to the accumulation of nitrates in fruits, potassium neutralizes the harmful effects of soil acidity. On the basis of these properties of fertilizers, an ideal soil is prepared for tomatoes. It should include humus, manure, compost as nitrogen-containing components. Heavy loamy soils are relieved with sand. Moreover, 1 m² fertilize 2 tbsp. l superphosphate, 1 tbsp. l potassium sulfate.

Planting seedlings in the ground

Types of tomato formation: (standard, indeterminate, determinant).

Before planting the seedlings in the ground, it is poured with hot water, in which the potassium permanganate is dissolved, they take 1 g to the bucket of water. At the same time, you can drive the stakes into the ground after 1 m, stretch the rope between them along the entire length of the plot. Then along the rope they dig a ditch with a depth of 35 cm, the bottom is treated with forks, and manure or humus is poured.

At the bottom of the ditch, after 1-1.5 m, pegs are set, between them, a wire or a rope is used to tie the plants. Seedlings, pre-grown in peat pots, planted vertically, with the pot just covered with soil, without removing the plant from there. Tall varieties and hybrids are planted in the middle of the ridge in one row, it is possible in a checkerboard pattern, 50 cm and 1 m between the rows between the tomatoes.

Evening time is suitable for planting in the ground, cloudy weather in the daytime - it is important that the sun's rays do not adversely affect young plants that need to be acclimatized. Above the beds, you can install arcs of metal, pull nonwoven covering fabric on them. This is an excellent protection for young plants from the burning sun and strong winds. The beds should be regularly weeded, mulched, fertilized. Watering is done 2-3 times a week, bushes pile up, preventive measures are being taken to combat many pests and diseases.

Plants spud 10 days after landing in the ground. Before this, they are watered, moisture accelerates the growth of new roots, the second hilling is done after 2 weeks. At first, tomatoes are poured into the wells, using 0.5 liters of water per bush. The best time for watering is in the afternoon in cloudy weather. Obligatory watering is done during the flowering of the hands, before loosening and hilling, as well as after the application of mineral fertilizers.

Crop care and harvest

Over the summer, the culture is fertilized several times. To increase the yield of tomatoes and harvest in time, pasynkovanie - removing lateral shoots. This contributes to strengthening the ovary, limiting flowering, reducing the number of unnecessary fruits that may be underdeveloped. Masking allows sunlight to fall on all plants evenly, it is necessarily carried out with the dense and luxuriant development of the bushes.

Growing soil tomatoes is associated with chemical treatments. They are performed 2 times before fruit set, it is recommended to use an effective drug Ridomil Gold. The first chemical treatment (spraying) is done after planting the seedlings in the ground after 10 days, the second - 10 days after the first. When the first fruits appear, it is best to apply Bordeaux liquid. It is prepared immediately before use.

To obtain 10 l Bordeaux mixture take 100 g of copper sulphate, which is dissolved in warm water in a 0.5 l glass jar. Then the resulting solution is poured into another container of a larger volume, topped up with 5 liters of cold water. One more container is taken, in which 150 g of quicklime is placed and quenched with 5 liters of water, the lime milk is filtered.

While actively stirring, a solution of copper sulphate is added to the lime milk. If the resulting liquid has a bluish tint, does not contain flakes, with a neutral reaction, then it is prepared correctly. The reaction is checked by litmus paper, dipped in a liquid. In this case, in a neutral medium, the litmus retains a purple color.

For spraying tomatoes with a Bordeaux mixture, clear weather without wind is ideal. For more intensive ripening of fruits on bushes, those that have begun to turn red are removed with a yellowish-brown color. It should be collected fruit without a stem, carefully folded in the container. In dry weather, they are dried. You can shoot green fruits of large size, leave them for ripening in a warm bright room at an air temperature of 20-25 ° C and a humidity of 80%.

Tomato is a valuable vegetable crop, which has high nutritional and taste qualities. With proper care of tomatoes, many plant diseases can be avoided and yields can be increased.

Masking tomatoes in open ground. Cultivation, care. Secrets and Tips

Agree, just to grow a bush of tomatoes - the task is quite simple, especially since this plant is not very capricious. But to get a decent collection of this vegetable can, having mastered certain skills and knowledge. There is a mass of techniques to accelerate ripening. Tilling tomatoes in the open field is perhaps one of the main methods for increasing yields and getting ripe vegetables in the early stages.

Planting tomatoes

Planted seedlings in open ground after establishing a stable temperature. The plant grows well on a flat, sunny place. The distance between the bushes depends on the variety and how it is planned to form the plant. Tomatoes with a stem of small height (determinant), as a rule, are early ripe varieties. They are planted in a row, the distance between the bushes should be 60 cm, and the row row distance is 70 cm. The tall seedlings (indeterminant) should be arranged so that the distance between the bushes is 70 cm, and between rows 90 cm. All tall plants belong to late-ripening varieties, which have high yields and have a bush height of 1.5-2 meters. When planting in the hole, you must add organic fertilizer and up to two liters of water. The plant is well buried, covered with earth, which is then well rammed.

Landing in the ground with the above requirements, however, as well as pasynkovanie tomatoes in open ground, is one of the methods to increase the yield.

Care during cultivation

During the growth of tomatoes, it is necessary to perform certain procedures, which include: watering, hilling, weeding, tying, pasynkovanie, protection from pests.

In order for the bush to settle down well, it is necessary to ensure sufficient soil moisture in the first week after planting. After the seedlings finally take root, watering is carried out every ten days, constantly destroying the weeds.

For the full development of the root system is required to loosen the soil and carry out hilling. Tying up the stems and pasynkovanie tomatoes in the open field is the most effective methods to accelerate the ripening of fruits.

Tying is carried out several times during maturation, it is necessary to do it under the ovary. Thus, the brush is better illuminated and warms up, which leads to a significant acceleration of maturation. Also, thanks to tying and exclusion of contact with the ground, tomatoes are less affected by diseases.

Growing tomatoes: pasynkovanie determinant varieties

Rooted seedlings quickly go into growth, forming a shrub with many lateral processes. On each branch formed ovary with 4 brushes. By removing the side stepsons, the yield is significantly reduced. Therefore, undersized varieties to see the pinch is irrational and, as a rule, such bushes do not require special shaping.

Methods of rational cultivation of low-growing tomatoes

To obtain a rich harvest of tomatoes, it is necessary to make considerable efforts. However, there are ways to facilitate the care of an established bush, as well as propagate the seedlings after planting.

As a rule, all undersized varieties form powerful lower stepsons. For reproduction it is necessary to regrowth the stepson without effort to bend to the side, fasten with a pin and sprinkle with earth. After some time, stepson rooted and will give rise to a new bush. Using this method, you can get a good harvest, not having a large number of seedlings.

The second method allows you to reduce the time to care for tomatoes. Masking in this method is not required. Everyone understands that tying branches is a laborious process. But stunted bushes can do without it, it is enough to plant them thicker. Growing up, the bushes will support themselves.

Features of cultivation of determinant varieties in the northern regions

The cold and short summer, characteristic of the north, often does not allow growing and harvesting tomatoes. Separating tomatoes in open ground allows us to significantly reduce the time of ripening and get excellent fruits that have not grown and matured in greenhouse conditions. When side shoots are removed, the maximum inflow of nutrients to the ovaries of the fruit occurs, which accelerates their growth and maturation. Picking off stepchildren is better when they are 3-5 cm in size, every 10 days. The shrub is shaped in such a way that one or two stalks remain on it. Of course, this will not allow to collect a large harvest, but there will be a guarantee that all the fruits will have time to ripen in a short summer.

Late-ripening tomatoes: pasynkovanie and pinching

For tall tomatoes it is necessary to form a bush, otherwise the lateral branches will grow, thus preventing the ovaries from fully developing. Such bushes are characterized by the fact that the first fruit ovary is formed after the eighth leaf, and the stepchild stems appear in the bosom of each. Thus, they take over the majority of the nutrients coming from the root system. As a result, the fruit ovary develops sluggishly, has small and inconspicuous fruits. If you do not intervene in this process, then it will be impossible to grow tomatoes without a pinch.

When growing indeterminate seedlings, it is advisable to form three stems. To do this, you must leave the two bottom strong stepson and grow them as usual stelby, tying up to the support and removing, all the other stepchildren. It is necessary to cut them in a timely manner: if you missed the moment and stepchildren outgrown, it is better to use scissors.

With proper care, tall tomatoes produce a bountiful crop and are characterized by a long fruiting period. In addition to pinching, in such varieties, it is necessary to pinch the upper stems. This is done a month before the planned end of the harvest, thus providing the opportunity to collect large tomatoes. The grazing and pinching, as well as the tying up of tomatoes are the main techniques that allow you to grow a good harvest in almost any climatic zone.

Features of the cultivation and care of cherry tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes can be grown both on the plot and at home. There are many varieties of these tomatoes that require different care. High varieties grow rapidly, thrive abundantly, forming stepchildren and fruit buds. Therefore, they need to pay more attention and remove extra stepchildren every week. And some varieties can grow both in open ground and in a pot on the windowsill, they do not need such care, because each branch forms a brush and no longer grows.

Final moments

There are basic methods for obtaining a high yield of tomatoes, no matter what kind of cultivation: be it tall “De Barao” or low-growing cherry tomatoes. Tilling, tying, and timely watering is the key to getting a decent harvest. However, do not forget about plant nutrition. The best option is to apply fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium in the fall when digging the site. Fertilizers containing nitrogen should be applied only in spring. Also, every three years it is necessary to change the place of planting, and to prevent the disease of seedlings, tomatoes should not be planted near the potatoes.

Growing tomatoes in open ground

Growing tomatoes in the open field includes sowing seeds for seedlings, growing seedlings, planting seedlings in the ground, caring for adult plants and harvesting.

In this article we will in detail tell novice gardeners how to grow tomatoes in open ground.

The approximate planting time of your tomato variety is indicated on the bag with seeds, and the most favorable for this date can be found if you look at the lunar calendar for gardeners.

In any case, tomato seedlings are planted in the soil at the age of 55-60 days. Estimate approximately when in your region the last return frosts, subtract 60 days, add 5-7 days for seedlings and get an approximate time of sowing seeds for seedlings. Usually this is the end of February - the beginning of March.

The soil for growing seedlings can be purchased, already prepared, and you can prepare yourself. To do this, mix 1 part of sod land, peat and humus.

On 1 bucket of such a soil mixture, add a liter jar of river sand (preferably vermiculite) and a tablespoon of ash and superphosphate.

Now pour the prepared soil into the boxes, compact it a little and sow the seeds of tomatoes. Top sprinkled more soil, about 0.5-1 cm. If the sowing depth is less, sprouts may appear with a seed coat on them. (In this case, do not tear it off, but drip with water and a little later the seed will come off easily). The soil after sowing must be watered from the sprayer.

To speed up the emergence of shoots, planting can be covered with a film. As soon as shoots appear, the film must be removed.

Boxes with seedlings should be in a very lit place. If the seedlings begin to stretch, then it does not have enough light. In this case, fix the additional lighting above the landings, 1 fluorescent lamp for 40 watts is enough for 1 square meter. If it is not possible to hang the lamp, you can compensate for the lack of lighting by making potash fertilizers.

When the plants have two true leaves, the seedlings need to swoop down (seedlings), that is, carefully remove the plants from the common box and plant each in a separate cup - the roots need more room to grow. First sprinkle an incomplete cup of soil, it is better then pour it as the plant grows so that additional lateral roots form on the stem.

A couple of weeks before transplanting into open ground, it begins to harden. If possible, transfer it to a cooler, but not cold place. Reduce watering.

Planting tomato in open ground

Seedlings are planted in the soil in May and June, depending on what region you live in. In any case, the risk of return frosts should be minimal, or be prepared to cover the tomatoes with covering material.

When planting seedlings in the ground, the plant is gently taken out of the cup and placed in a prepared well, which is desirable to pre-shed with warm water. The plant is dipped in the hole to the cotyledonary leaves and sprinkled around the ground, slightly compacting it.

The planting scheme of tomatoes in the open field depends on the planted variety: early ripe tomatoes are usually planted according to the scheme 30x40 cm, late ones - 50x50 cm and on the method of forming the bush.

Care for tomatoes in the open field

Caring for tomatoes includes timely watering, weeding, feeding, garter, pinching and, if necessary, combating diseases.

Watering tomatoes should be carried out on average once a week, but it is very dependent on the weather, and this is the difference in the cultivation of tomatoes in the greenhouse and in the open field - it is impossible to control watering.

When the seedlings settle down best, the soil will be thrashed with straw, so it will be much easier to keep the soil moist, and the weeds barely grow. There is no crust under the straw and therefore no loosening is required. A sort of lazy way of growing tomatoes. To the content

Garter open field tomato

The most common variant of the garter of tomato bushes in the open field is the garter to the stakes stuck next to the bushes. So you can tie up stunted varieties, but what about the tall ones? We offer you other ways to garter tomatoes. Click on the photo to enlarge it.

The material for garter of tomatoes should not cut into the stem of the plant, should not damage it.

Now, as for the stumping of tomatoes in the open field ... A lot depends on the region - if you have a warm climate in which the fruits even on the stepchildren have time to ripen before the cold, then of course you can not bushes and not strawberry. If the summer is short, it is better to hold the pinching, that is, to break down the side shoots growing from the leaf axils or at least pinch to the first flower brush.

Sowing and caring for seedlings

Seeds of varieties of tomatoes intended for cultivation in the open field are sown directly in nutrient pots, i.e. without picks. This is explained by the fact that seeds of open-field varieties and popular selection are usually used for sowing, which are not sufficiently resistant to viral diseases, especially to the tobacco mosaic virus. When transplanted into pots in seedlings, small roots often break off and infection can penetrate into the wounds of healthy plants. In addition, low-growing varieties do not outgrow and remain compact until the end of planting, ie low (15-18 cm).

From 1 to 25 March, seeds are sown in cups or pots of 10 × 10 cm. They are filled with soil mixture and watered with warm (35–40 ° C) solution: 1 tablespoon of universal liquid fertilizer is diluted in 10 liters of water. Then, in each cup, in the center, two holes are made with a depth of 1 cm, 1 seed is placed in each hole and covered with soil mixture. Such sowing without picking is carried out only for low-growing varieties for open ground in order to protect the seedlings from viral diseases.

Sown pots are placed in a box, put in a warm (22 - 25 ° C) bright place and closely monitor the seedlings of seedlings, which should appear in 6 - 7 days. As soon as seedlings appear, the pots are rearranged one by one to a bright sunny window-sill with a daytime temperature of 14-16 ° C and at night 12 -14 ° C. When lowering the temperature (opening the vents and window frames), it is necessary to ensure that the seedlings do not stand in a draft. Such a daytime cool mode will prevent the seedlings from being pulled out and will help the better development of the roots. Then the temperature is gradually raised during the day to 18 -22 ° C, and at night to 15 - 17 ° C. After 5 -6 days after emergence, the weaker plant is removed from the pot, and the strong is left.

Care for seedlings - extremely crucial moment. Before planting, the seedlings grow 55 - 60 days. Water is watered moderately, at the beginning of growth 1 time per week, 0.5 cups per plant. When 3–5 true leaves are formed, water it in a glass per plant.

Every 10 to 12 days the seedlings are fed. For the first time - 20 days after germination with a solution of nitrophoska (dilute 1 tablespoon in 10 liters of water), spending 0.5 cups per 2 plants. Feed the second time 10 days after the first feeding. In 10 l of water dilute 2 tablespoons of organic-mineral fertilizer, consuming 1 cup of solution per plant. The third top dressing (last) is carried out a week before planting seedlings in open ground. In 10 l of water, 2 tablespoons of superphosphate are diluted (for three days before dressing, superphosphate is drawn in warm water), everything is well stirred and watered.

It is necessary to constantly harden the seedlings with low temperature. Starting from April, seedlings can be taken out to a balcony, a veranda or left near open window frames at an air temperature not lower than 10 ° С. The first hardening is carried out in the shade for three days, since it is necessary to gradually accustom the plant to full lighting in the open air. If the seedlings on the first day are taken out in sunny weather, burns from direct sunlight can occur. In the future, seedlings do not pritenyut.

During the hardening of seedlings, make sure that the soil in the pots is moist, and not dry, otherwise the leaves will wilt and yellow.

By the time of landing on the beds in the open ground, the plants must be strong, not stretched, leafy (with 7-10 leaves).

Planting seedlings in a permanent place

In the open ground for planting tomatoes take a sunny place, protected from cold winds. Low, wet areas are unsuitable for tomatoes, with a close standing of groundwater, which create unfavorable conditions for the root system of plants. The best precursors for tomatoes are legumes, root vegetables, green.

To avoid late blight infection, do not plant tomatoes after potatoes and tomatoes.

Preferred soils are loamy with the addition of organic and mineral fertilizers.

Ridges for tomatoes are prepared for 5 - 6 days before planting. Before digging up the soil, it must be treated with hot (70 - 80 ° C) solution of copper sulphate or copper chlorine. In 10 liters of water dilute 1 tablespoon of one or the other. Solution consumption up to 1 - 1.5 l per 1 m².

After that, organic and mineral fertilizers are poured on clay and loamy soils - 3 to 4 kg of manure humus, peat and old sawdust, 1 tablespoon of superphosphate, potassium sulfate or 1 cup of wood ash per 1 m². Then the bed is dug up to a depth of 25 - 30 cm, leveled, watered with warm water (40 -50 ° C). Make the wells, water them before planting seedlings with antibacterial drugs.

Planted seedlings in a permanent place in the first and second decades of May. Landing do in cloudy weather in the morning, in sunny - in the afternoon. At the time of planting the seedlings should be fresh, even slight wilting of the plants retards their growth, leading to a partial fall of the very first flowers and the loss of early harvest.

Seedlings are planted vertically, only the soil pot is deepened into the soil. The stem is not covered by the soil, and only after 15 days the plants spud up to a stem height of up to 12 cm.

Seedlings are planted in 2 rows. For medium-sized varieties (60 - 70 cm), the rows should be 50 cm, and the distance in the rows between plants should be 40 - 45 cm. For short-growing (standard) varieties of the aisles, 40-50 cm wide, and the distance between plants - 40 cm. Immediately put pegs 50 cm in height for undersized and 80 cm for medium-sized plants, but the greatest effect is achieved when the plant is tied to the arcs and to the taut wire with the help of synthetic twine to a height of 1 - 1.2 m. As a result, the plant is better illuminated, ventilated and less sick. Until the plants take root, 10 days after planting they are not watered. After planting, if small frosts are expected, tomato plants need additional shelter, especially at night. After planting the seedlings, the beds are covered with a transparent film before the onset of warm weather (until June 5–10), then the film is not removed, but holes are made on it with a diameter of 10–12 cm throughout the film and left for the whole summer. As a result, receive an early harvest, relieve plants from infection with blight.

Formation of tomato plants

Plants form so that they can give 5 - 6 fruit brushes. When plants form into one stem, on the main stem, remove all lateral shoots (stepchildren), formed in the axils of each leaf, and leave 5-6 fruit brushes on the main shoot. A pinch is made above the last (upper) floral brush, leaving 2 - 3 leaflets on it.

At the double-stem form, the stepson growing under the first flower brush is left. At the same time, 4 fruit brushes are left on the main stem and pinch the top, leaving 3 leaves, and 3 fruit brushes leave on the stepson and pinch too, leaving 2 - 3 leaflets.

When forming a three-stem form, 2 - 3 fruit brushes are left on the main stem. In the two lower stepsons, 2 fruit brushes are left and the nipping is done so that there are 2 to 3 leaves above the upper fruit brushes.

In pasynkovnyh and pinned plants, nutrients go to the formation and pouring of fruits, from which their size increases and ripening occurs earlier. On a formed bush, in addition to five or six fruit brushes, there should be at least 30 - 35 leaves.

First root dressing they make it 3 weeks after planting: dilute 1 tablespoon of universal liquid fertilizer and 1 tablespoon of nitrophosphate in 10 l of water, consumption - 0.5 l of solution for each plant. At the beginning of the blooming of the second flower brush spend second root dressing : in 10 liters of water, dilute 1 tablespoon of universal liquid fertilizer, 1 tablespoon of superphosphate, 1 teaspoon of potassium sulfate or potassium chloride or 10 liters of water take 1 tablespoon of organic-mineral fertilizer, consumption - 1 l of solution per plant.

Third root dressing they make it during the blooming period of the third flower brush: dilute 1 tablespoon of universal liquid fertilizer and nitrophoska in 10 l of water, consumption - 5 l per 1 m2.

Fourth dressing spend 12 days after the third: in 1 liter of water dilute 1 tablespoon of superphosphate (consumption - 10 l per 1 m²) or use universal liquid fertilizer (1 tablespoon per 10 l of water), consumption - 5 l of solution per 1 m².

Tomato fruit formation

Sometimes the composition of top dressing depends not only on the plant development phase, but also on the weather: in cloudy weather, the dose of potassium sulfate is increased to 1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water, and in the sun - 2 tablespoons of urea for the same amount of water, while consuming 5 liters of solution per 1 m2.

Weak-limbed and stunted plants need to do foliar top dressing, that is, sprinkle the leaves with the following solution: dilute 1 tablespoon of urea in 10 liters of water.

The best temperature for normal growth and fruiting tomatoes - 20 - 25 ° C at night.

Water plants abundantly, in sunny weather after 6 days, in cloudy after 7-8 days at the rate of 10 -20 liters per 1 m², depending on the air temperature. After watering the bed sprinkled with sifted peat or compost layer of 1 - 2 cm. This does not form a crust on top, moisture is stored in the soil and evaporation does not occur, which is harmful to the plant, especially in the flowering phase. Excess moisture with a lack of heat leads to the death of the root system.

In the open field it is better to water in the afternoon to avoid excessive loss of water for evaporation.

Often you can notice the shedding of flowers. This is a sign of a lack of moisture or a decrease in temperature. Plants should be sprinkled with a solution of boron (1 teaspoon per 10 liters of water), consuming 1 l per 1 m².

Terms of watering can be determined by the appearance of plants - change the color of the leaves to dark green and privyadanii them on hot days. In such cases, the plants are watered in 2 - 3 doses through a short period of time to gradually moisten the soil.

So that the fertilizers applied with irrigation penetrate deeper, the soil between the rows is pierced with forks to the full depth of the horns. If the soil on the site is wet, as well as a lot of precipitation, watering is not carried out (fertilizer applied in a dry form).

It is especially useful to use such fertilizers as “Feeder”, “Fertility”, “Bogatyr”, “Signor Tomato” (1 teaspoon per plant).

July and August - it's time to ripen and harvest. In caring for tomatoes, the most important thing is to accelerate the ripening of the fruits that started and protect them from rotting. It is necessary to continue to remove the newly emerging stepchildren, excess leaves, pinch the tops of all fruit-bearing bushes, remove flower brushes on which the fruits no longer have time to form. In undersized varieties of the brush with the fruit should be turned to the sun. Not bad also during this period (from August 15), except for all basic feedings, additionally feed the tomatoes with the following solution: dilute 1 tsp of urea, superphosphate and potassium sulphate or 2 tablespoons of nitrophosphate in 10 l of water, spending 0.5 l of solution on the plant.

The period from setting to reddening of fruit in early-maturing varieties lasts 40 - 50 days. If the overripe fruits are left on the plants, then the total yield decreases, and vice versa, if you regularly harvest unripe (brown) fruits, then the total yield increases significantly. Red fruits can be stored at a temperature of 5 - 10 ° C for 40 - 50 days, while the humidity of the air must be at least 80%.

It is most expedient to remove all formed fruits from the bushes with brown ones, i.e. beginning to whiten, and lay them on maturation. This simple technique speeds up the filling of green fruit remaining on the bush. Before laying on the maturation of the fruit must be heated to protect from blackening. This is done like this: first, the tomatoes are dipped for 2 minutes in hot water (60 - 65 ° C), then cold, then wiped with a soft cloth, then laid. To speed up the ripening process, it is carried out indoors at a temperature of 18 -20 ° C. Fruits are placed in small boxes in 2 - 3 layers, removing the pedicels. Add some red tomatoes to the boxes. They accelerate the ripening process of green fruit by the release of ethylene gas.

In the light ripening tomatoes become more intense color than in the dark. Put the boxes on top of cabinets, walls.

Cultivation of tomatoes in the open field. When planting tomato seedlings in open ground. | My Compound

In this article we will continue to talk about growing tomatoes in the open field. In fact, tomatoes can be talked about for a very long time, the topic is quite extensive. Here you can consider not only the cultivation process, but also applied supplements, tomato diseases, pest control, etc. Earlier it was about growing tomato seedlings. Now it is time to plant it in open ground.

When to plant tomato seedlings

One of the first questions about planting tomato seedlings in open ground is planting time. Definitely impossible to say. Planting time depends on the variety, climatic conditions of your region. Nevertheless, we will try to consider the timing of planting tomatoes, depending on the region and variety. So seedlings of early varieties of tomatoes for the South of Russia and in Ukraine should be planted from April 15 to May 1. With regards to the central regions of Russia - the time for planting seedlings in open ground falls on May 1-15. Mid-season varieties of tomatoes in the south of Russia and in Ukraine are planted from 1 to 15 May, in the central regions of Russia - from 1 to 10 June. After planting, the seedlings cover themselves with a film, because we all know that April and May are months when the weather is still unstable and cooling is not uncommon. You need to remove the film after June 10th. At this time, the threat of damage to plants is already past.

Planting tomatoes in open ground

Under the planting of tomatoes in the open ground you need to choose well-lit areas that will be protected from the wind. In addition, tomatoes should not be planted in the lowlands, as they do not like high humidity. Loamy soils with mineral fertilizers and mineral fertilizers are a good option for growing tomatoes. organics. Soil for tomatoes should be light with a slightly acid or neutral reaction. Before planting tomatoes in open ground, seedlings should have a well-developed root system, 7–8 true leaves and reach a height of 30 cm. Should be the following: 1 m between rows, 0.5 m between plants. Care should also be taken of the posts stretch the wire and then tie up the tomatoes. The bollards are 2 m apart. The seedlings are planted in a prepared ditch. Its depth is equal to the spade of the spade. Humus is poured at the bottom. Seedlings with a lump of earth put in a ditch and sprinkled with earth. Before that, it will not be superfluous to soak the cups with the seedlings with a solution of chicken manure or mullein. After all the plants are planted ditch covered with earth, well watered. Should also perform mulching, whether it be decomposed sawdust or humus. Seedlings take root in a new place for about 10 days.

Tomato care

Growing tomatoes in the open field naturally suggests appropriate care. It consists in pinching, pest control, loosening the soil, protection from inclement weather, in particular from cold snaps, as well as timely watering. If you expect a long cold snap, tomatoes are best spud earth. After the threat of frost has passed, the plants are freed from the ground. Above mentioned mulching is no accident. Thanks to the mulch, the formation of a soil crust can be avoided, because it causes the plants to lose moisture. Only with the creation of favorable conditions for the development and growth of tomatoes can we expect a good harvest.

Now for the watering. Watering need tomatoes at the root between the rows and try to keep the water from falling on the plants themselves. Watering should be repeated once a week. The soil should be moistened to a depth of 35 cm. Watering after the ovaries appear, and when the fruits begin to fill, should be regular, more frequent and in large volumes. The lack of moisture can cause the fruit to crack. A few words like to say on pollination. Tomatoes, in principle, have a sufficient amount of pollen for self-pollination, but much depends on weather conditions. So at a temperature below +13 ° C, the quality of pollen decreases, above + 35 ° C, the flowers simply fall off. To attract bees to pollinate tomatoes, it is necessary to plant such plants between them, like mustard, basil, etc., i.e. honey plants. Even if the conditions for pollination are favorable, it will not be superfluous to be safe and help them a little - gently shake the stem.

Top dressing of tomatoes

Tomatoes need to be fed once every 10-15 days. For this, slurry or chicken manure is used. In the first case, the ratio should be 1:10 - manure-water, in the second - 200 g of litter per 10 liters of water. This is all insisted, just as when feeding seedlings. When watering one plant should account for 2-3 liters of liquid. We will not go into details on additional feedings, since a separate article is devoted to this top dressing tomatoeswhere you can find out what fertilizers are used in the process of growing tomatoes.

About ripening and harvesting

Ripening tomatoes as well as planting dates depend on the variety and the area in which they are grown. The ripening of early varieties in the middle lane begins in the tenth of July. Mid-season varieties begin to ripen in early August. Late-ripening varieties in the open field do not have time to ripen. In August, the fruits are removed still green. To avoid defeat tomato blight fruit harvesting must be timely. In the case of an unfavorable weather forecast, which comes down to temperature and high humidity, all the fruits that were poured from the site are best collected. As can be judged from all of the above, in the cultivation of tomatoes there are no difficulties. The most important thing - do not be lazy, if you, of course, want to get a normal harvest. Here's an article about growing tomatoes in open ground can complete.
