The top of the stem is pinched when the bush reaches the ceiling of the greenhouse or a month before the end of fruiting.

Tomato Shy blush is germinated by the seedling method, therefore, preliminary preparation of the seeds is necessary. The material is either purchased in the store, or independently harvested from last year's harvest. In both cases, the seeds are processed in aloe or a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

After that, the planting material is wiped dry with a napkin. Some gardeners soak the seeds in a cotton ball and store them in a dark and warm place until they hatch. And only after that they sow in seedling boxes. This is optional, everyone chooses a more convenient method.

The soil is poured into the seedling boxes with neutral or slightly acidic, mixed with sand. The earth is fed and moistened. Then holes are made, and seeds are dropped into them in 1-2 pieces. Further, a small area is leveled and again watered with warm water. From above, everything is covered with a film or plastic bag. The optimum temperature for spitting seeds is + 25 °.

After 5-7 days, the seedlings will germinate, and the film is removed. The containers are placed on a windowsill or balcony. Seedlings are sprayed once a week, taking into account that the soil is already dry. This is necessary in order to avoid the formation of a black leg, which completely destroys the seedling.

It is necessary to dive a culture in the presence of several leaves and a strong stem. A little wood ash is poured into new seedling containers along with the earth. It will act as fertilizer.

In early May, the seedlings are transferred to a greenhouse or just outside for acclimatization. At this time, a plot for tomatoes is being prepared. It must be dug up and spilled with warm water.

Planting of seedlings is carried out in the evening or early in the morning. The main thing is that the sun is not in the active phase. After that, each bush is spilled with 1-2 buckets of settled water. The next watering is carried out only after a week.

Tomato bushes Shy blush are very large. Although they are tied to pegs or trellises, it is still necessary to leave enough space for the crown.

This is necessary so that the branches do not interfere with each other, and there is an optimal distance between the plants in order to process them.

For a good harvest, some points should be observed in caring for the crop:

• watering mode;

• pinching and forming;

• top dressing;

• loosening of the earth and timely removal of weeds.
