How to grow tomatoes?

Growing the Boloto variety is quite simple. To plant the seeds, you just need to follow certain guidelines and prepare everything you need. The seeds should be planted in early March, but some prefer to plant even earlier. It's recommended to use clean, fertilized soil, preferably purchased from a store.

Before sowing, the seeds are immersed in an antiseptic solution. The seedlings require a specific temperature, approximately 23–26°C. Until the first sprouts emerge, little or no watering will be required. After the seeds germinate, the seedlings are moved to a brighter area. Remember to water the seedlings regularly.

When the seedlings have grown a little, thin them out to strengthen the roots. Around the end of May, when the roots have become strong enough, you can plant the plants in the garden. These plants are easy to grow, so any soil will do. Water the tomatoes regularly.

As the variety's name suggests, this plant thrives in a humid environment. It can even grow in waterlogged soil. Composted manure, ash, and minerals are suitable fertilizers. For a good harvest, fertilize the soil at least every two months. This variety is not immune to pests and diseases, so regular preventative treatment is recommended.

Its stems are susceptible to rot, and the fruit is vulnerable to diseases such as late blight. Its most formidable enemy is anthracnose. It partially attacks the fruit, causing rotting. Over time, the affected area expands, drying out the skin and spreading the rot.

The damaged part of the fruit has a black color and a soft, runny mass inside.
This phenomenon is caused by high humidity.

Tomato diseases are controlled in the following ways:

1. After pre-soaking the seeds in an antiseptic solution.
2. Spraying bushes with solutions of copper and sulfur.
3. Regular use of spraying products such as Flint and Quadris.

Boloto tomatoes are unusually colored and have excellent flavor. Experienced gardeners recommend planting Boloto tomatoes if you want to experience a delicious fruit that's unlike any other.
