The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground

A pick should be carried out when the plant has 2-3 true leaves. Seedlings of this variety are very sensitive to lack of light.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener will be able to harvest at all.All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme

Growing and care
Tomatoes are of a determinant type, therefore they do not require pinching and shaping. But the Doll Masha is demanding of light and heat. It is better to grow on the south side of the site.
Within 10 days after planting seedlings in the ground, the plant is not watered. Then watering is carried out with warm water no more than once a week. When ovaries appear on the bushes, the plant needs more water (about 4 liters for each bush 2 times a week). After watering, be sure to loosen the ground.
Despite the resistance of the Masha Doll hybrid to fungal diseases, too high humidity in the greenhouse should be avoided. The humidity level should not exceed 70%. To maintain the required parameters, the greenhouse is ventilated.
If the ripening fruits are too heavy, you need to tie the branch to a support so that the plant does not break. Tomatoes also need nutritious feeding.
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.
