How to grow Summer Garden tomatoes?

Let's look at how to grow the Summer Garden tomato. Seeds are sown in the second half of April. The seeds of this variety retain their quality even in long-term storage for up to 4-5 years. First, the planting material is disinfected in a container with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate. Then they need to be washed.

After this, to germinate, the seeds are soaked in warm water or covered with damp gauze, keeping it constantly in this state. The seeds should be soaked in the container of water for about 18 hours. After the seeds have swollen, they are sown in containers with soil, making small holes 1-1.5 cm deep. These containers should then be placed in a warm, sunny location.

Once the seedlings emerge, they need to be watered regularly. Once they've established themselves, they're planted in individual peat pots. The seedlings are very delicate and don't tolerate direct sunlight. However, they do require some light.

Therefore, you need to cover the windows near where the seedlings are located with paper. At 50 days old, the seedlings are planted in the soil. However, this should only be done after warm weather has set in and there is no risk of frost in the soil.

Tomatoes are planted in a 30x50 cm pattern. After planting, the plants require watering, fertilization, and weeding. The first watering should be done evenly, avoiding overwatering. In temperate climates, seeds are sown in late April or early May, and seedlings are transplanted into the garden bed in mid-June. Fertilize with sulfate-based fertilizers.
