How are tomatoes grown?

The yield depends on the region in which the variety, developed by Siberian scientists, was planted. Tomatoes can be grown in regions with unfavorable conditions. For example, with a short summer followed by sudden heat or cold.

Gardeners who have grown Ivanych f1 tomatoes have left positive reviews. They recommend sowing tomatoes for seedlings around March 15th-20th or early April. However, this timeframe is not suitable for gardeners who want to plant the seedlings in a greenhouse. In this case, it is recommended to sow the seeds in the ground in early March. The soil for this variety is made from sand, peat, and sod.

Before planting, soak the seeds in a special growth stimulant for 10-12 hours. Ivanovich tomato seedlings should be planted in containers, burying the seeds 2 cm deep in the soil. Afterwards, lightly mist the soil with warm water and cover with plastic wrap.

The pots should be placed in a warm place until the first shoots appear. Once the sprouts emerge, place the containers on a windowsill or under fluorescent lights. Water the plants once every 5 days.

Gardeners advise planting in the ground—either in a greenhouse or outdoors—only after the leaves have been pricked out. Wood ash or phosphate should be added to the holes. After the bushes have been planted, there is no need to tie them up, but only feed and water them once every 6 days. Mineral fertilizers should be used as fertilizers.
