Let's look at the specifics of tomato growing. Tomatoes are grown using seedlings. In mid-March, sow the seeds for seedlings. If you plan to plant the plants in a greenhouse, sow the seeds in late February. Transplant them into the ground when the seedlings are 65-70 days old.

Before sowing, seeds are hardened and treated with potassium permanganate. To do this, the seedlings are placed in warm water and then refrigerated for several hours. This treatment will make the plant more resilient and robust. Containers are used for sowing seeds. They are filled with special tomato soil. Before sowing, the soil is treated with disinfectants.

Water the soil, then sow the seeds. Space the seeds 0.5-1 cm apart. You can make holes in the soil and place two seeds in each. Then cover the containers with plastic wrap. When the seedlings appear, remove the plastic wrap. Water the soil as it dries.

After the first two true leaves appear, transplant the seedlings. Transplant the seedlings no earlier than 20 days after sprouting. Fertilize the soil two weeks after germination. Fertilize the soil again two weeks before transplanting the plants to their permanent location.

For soil fertilization, use complex mineral and organic compounds. At the end of May, the seedlings are transplanted into the soil in beds previously occupied by cucumbers, carrots, and dill. They should be planted in a well-lit area away from strong winds.

Plant no more than 3 plants per square meter. Train tomatoes into 1-2 stems. Training a single-stemmed bush will produce larger fruits. To ensure a good yield, follow proper tomato care.

Plants should be watered in the evening. Water when the top layer of soil begins to dry out. The day after watering, loosen the soil. Weed the beds regularly. Fertilizer should be applied in the summer. When the tomatoes ripen, the brushes are tied up so that they do not break under the weight of the fruit.
