Hybrid tomato It stands out to everyone's envy against the background of other tomatoes due to its unusual color, which immediately catches the eye. The attractive tomato color and other external characteristics made this variety decorative. It is perfect for decorating any area.
Description of the variety
Plants grow up to 160 centimeters and are considered tall. At the same time, the form is compact, and the foliage is weak. Growth type is indeterminate. Experts recommend growing vegetables in open or closed ground. The crop is harvested for the winter or eaten fresh, enjoying the wonderful taste.
The fruit cluster is simple. From 7 to 10 tomatoes ripen on it at the same time. Experienced summer residents note that the bushes grow no longer in width, but in height, so they do not take up much space.
The main qualities of the fruit
Like the rest of the tomatoes, the unripe fruits of the variety are colored green to everyone's envy, but ripe specimens are covered with a rind of a rich blue-black color. Weight - from 60 to 80 grams. The shape is round. The glossy dark skin hides the dark cherry-colored flesh. The consistency of the pulp is dense and has a strong aroma.
Taste characteristics
Due to the harmonious balance of acids and sugars, tomatoes have a non-standard and pleasant taste with pronounced fruity notes.
Note: ripe fruit has amazing medicinal properties. They are rich in carotenoids, which color the skin of vegetables in a deep purple color. These substances have a positive effect on the immune system, strengthen the walls of blood vessels, promote safe weight loss and normalize blood sugar.
Ripening and fruiting
The hybrid belongs to the early varieties, the ripening period of which is 95-100 days. Harvesting is carried out from July to August. The marketability of fruits is high.
Yield
The yield is stable, and when properly grown, it can be considered high.
The timing of planting seedlings and planting in the ground
To get seedlings, seeds are sown from mid-March to early April. Once it reaches the age of 45-55 days, it can be transplanted into the ground. Moisten the sowing soil. The seeds are deepened by 1-1.5 centimeters. After the appearance of the first leaves, a pick is carried out. If the greenhouse is heated, work can be done earlier, taking into account the weather conditions.
The container with future seedlings is left in a warm and bright place so that the plants receive a sufficient amount of sunlight. To create a greenhouse effect, the container is covered with glass or film. So the seedlings will appear earlier. The seed must be carefully sprinkled with the substrate. Water the seedlings with a spray bottle, and only with warm water.
Picking makes it easier to transplant bushes to a permanent place. You can use plastic cups or small pots as containers. It is recommended to harden seedlings for quick and comfortable adaptation.
Growing tomato seedlings is an extremely important process, because it largely depends on whether the gardener can harvest at all.All aspects must be taken into account, from seedbed preparation to planting in the ground.
Landing scheme
The optimal scheme for planting bushes is 70x40 centimeters.
Growing and care
Cultivation of varieties Everyone envy includes the obligatory molding of 3-4 stems. Plantations are rarely irrigated, but abundantly. Water is poured into the root. The bushes are fertilized 4-5 times throughout the season. Loosening and hilling remarkably affect the condition of the plants. It is desirable to treat the soil against late blight. Pest and infection control formulations are used as needed. And also pinching and tying are carried out.
After rooting the seedlings, you need to adhere to a certain watering scheme - at least 2 times a week. In the rainy season, the amount of watering is reduced, and in the hot season, vice versa. Plantations are irrigated when the topsoil dries up. For irrigation, it is recommended to use settled water heated in the sun.
To prevent moisture from evaporating quickly, the soil is covered with mulch. And also it is an additional prevention of attacks by pests and weeds. After irrigation, the soil is loosened, and weeds are removed.
The seedlings need to be fed periodically throughout the growing season, once every 2 weeks. Tomato especially needs nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. The first component is necessary to stimulate growth and the formation of a dense green mass. It is introduced into the soil at the initial stage. Potassium is necessary at the fruiting stage, but the bushes always need such a component as phosphorus.
It is customary to alternate mineral fertilizers with organic matter. Gardeners most often use mullein infusion or bird droppings in proportions of 1: 15.
Note: with the onset of the hot season, different varieties of vegetable crops can be re-pollinated. In this case, one cannot be sure of the purity of a particular variety, and it is undesirable to use their seeds for growing seedlings.
Proper care of young plants must necessarily include a number of conditions.
The minimum daylight hours are 11 hours. If there is not enough sunlight, special lamps are used.
The air temperature should not fall below 23 degrees Celsius. The temperature at night is 20 degrees Celsius.
Water the bushes regularly using settled or filtered water at room temperature. It is important to avoid stagnant moisture and drying out of the soil.
After diving, young bushes need to be fertilized every 7-10 days. Subsequent portions of dressings are included 18-20 days after the first fertilization.
Before transplanting seedlings into the ground, you must first select a suitable site. A sunny location that is reliably protected from cold winds and strong drafts is ideal. And also the soil is cleaned of plant residues, fertilized with organic matter (humus) and rolled. If necessary, the site is leveled.
When planting tomatoes in a checkerboard pattern, the bushes receive a sufficient amount of sunlight. The shoots do not interfere with each other, and the green mass does not block the access of sunlight to the fruits, and they ripen without problems. And also the plants are ventilated, preventing fungal spores from multiplying.
Plants of the indeterminate type are characterized by unlimited growth. In order for the bushes to spend energy and nutrients not on the formation of foliage, but on the fruits, the crown must be pinched. This procedure determines the end point of growth.
Drip irrigation demonstrates high efficiency. A special irrigation system regularly moistens the soil with small portions of water. When using this option, moisture will not stagnate. And also the indicator of air humidity does not increase. The liquid penetrates deep into the ground, moisturizing the root system, and the bushes do not lack moisture.
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.
It is important to observe the rate and period of feeding. This also applies to folk remedies and organic fertilizers.
Disease and pest resistance
Hybrid variety Everyone envy has increased resistance to late blight. Plants can suffer from other diseases and common insects.
Best disease prevention:
airing the greenhouse;
removal of weeds, dry leaves and plant debris;
compliance with the conditions of agricultural technology;
treatment of plantations with folk remedies and finished preparations, especially in adverse weather conditions.
