Before planting, seedling seeds should be disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate and must be dried. The treated seeds are sown in either peat pots or plastic cups filled with moistened soil. After this procedure, the seedlings should be covered with foil.
During the growth process, fluorescent lamps should be used to supplement the illumination of plants. 2 weeks after planting, hardening of future seedlings can be carried out. They should be taken outside for a very short period, while the amount of time spent outdoors every day should be increased. After 60-65 days, the seedlings are planted in the ground.

The growing season of an indeterminate culture is distinguished by the fact that the variety is moderately watered and fertilized, thereby not contributing to excessive growth of green mass. Watering tomatoes is necessary only after the top layer of soil or mulch has completely dried. For 1 bush, you need about 0.5-1 liter. When the fruits reach a diameter of 3 centimeters, the rate of irrigation liquid is increased to two liters.
The Anna German variety is also demanding for warmth and light. With a bush height of 150 centimeters, a trunk garter is required.
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
