Every gardener dreams of growing easy-to-grow vegetables that produce a bountiful harvest. The My Love tomato variety is just that. It was developed by Russian breeders.

This species is an early-ripening determinate plant that can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouses and hotbeds. The first harvest can be collected in just 85-90 days from planting. The plant requires little care and tolerates slight temperature fluctuations, but does require regular watering.

Experts classify the "My Love" variety as an easy-to-grow variety. This is its main advantage, while its drawbacks include its average yield.

Variety specifics

Tomatoes are grown primarily in southern regions, as they are heat-loving plants. It's perfectly possible to plant My Love tomatoes in the central part of the country, but in northern regions, a good harvest is only possible with the help of greenhouses. A single plant can yield approximately 3-4 kg of tomatoes.

Although the "My Love" tomato variety is considered easy to grow, it does have its own unique care and cultivation requirements. This plant's root system thrives on space, so no more than three plants can fit per square meter.

If you want to grow this vegetable on your plot, you should first familiarize yourself with the characteristics of this tomato variety.

Characteristics and description of the My Love variety:

1. The tomato bush has a strong and massive trunk, which is capable of supporting branches with fruits on its own, and therefore does not need garters.
2. The My Love tomato resembles a miniature tree in appearance. It has few leaves, and each stem points slightly upward.
3. The bush can reach a height of 60 to 85 cm, and in greenhouse conditions it can grow up to 120 cm. The bush stops growing after the fifth inflorescence is formed.

Experienced gardeners who grow this variety advise pruning the side shoots. If this isn't done, the My Love tomatoes will ripen much later.

The seed package includes a photo clearly showing a mature plant with fruit. The tomatoes ripen on the plant almost simultaneously. Ripe tomatoes are bright red and rounded, with a distinctive elongated beak at the bottom. Each tomato weighs between 100 and 200 grams. The fruits are juicy, aromatic, and not sour. My Love F1 tomatoes have a medium density and a fairly thick skin. They are not prone to cracking, so they transport well.

My Love tomatoes are suitable for salads, pastes, juice, and other tomato products. Canned tomatoes are distinguished by their flavor and shape retention.

With proper and competent management, it's entirely possible to increase yields. Many gardeners manage to harvest up to 5 kg per bush.

Growing and care

When purchasing seeds, it's important to read the packaging for all planting and care instructions. The photo always shows what the variety looks like when the seeds are ripe, and the reverse side provides clear instructions for when to sow.

Sowing and growing seedlings

Before planting, seeds can be soaked in a growth activator. Gardeners recommend soaking seeds in a potassium permanganate solution. This will prevent future fungal growth and pest infestations. Afterwards, sow in a special container with prepared, fertilized soil. The best time for sowing is late March or the first half of April.

Once the sprouts have two leaves, they can be transplanted into individual pots. Vegetable growers use peat containers for this purpose. Place tomato seedlings in a sunny spot in a well-ventilated area to avoid high humidity.

The seedlings need to be watered every 10 days, but the soil condition must be monitored. The seedlings can be planted outdoors in May or June. It's important that the weather is warm and the soil is well-heated.

Planting tomatoes

Before planting, the soil is well fertilized and loosened. The distance between plants should be at least 40 cm. Anyone who has planted tomatoes knows how well they respond to mulch. After planting, the seedlings need to be watered. Subsequent care involves regular watering, moderate fertilizing, and loosening the soil.
