Description of the Laskovy Misha tomato and growing guidelines for the low-growing variety

Red, juicy, smooth-surfaced tomatoes called "Laskoviy Misha" are early ripening. This variety ripens in about 95-100 days from sowing. It can be planted both outdoors and in greenhouses (the manufacturer usually includes a photo of the tomatoes on the seed packaging).

Characteristics of the variety

This tomato has many positive attributes. It is resistant to diseases such as fusarium, alternaria, and tobacco mosaic. Another important advantage is its excellent shelf life. Picked fruits can remain fresh for 2-2.5 months. Below are the characteristics and description of the variety.

What is the Laskoviy Mishka f1 tomato? It's a low-growing (determinate) variety, with a maximum height of 65 to 75 cm. To ensure healthy and tasty tomatoes, there are a few rules to follow. They don't like excessive watering, as it can cause root rot. Once a week is sufficient. It's best to water tomatoes using drip irrigation, rather than using watering cans or hoses.

The next step is to remove side shoots. A side shoot is a shoot that appears between the stem and leaf of a tomato plant. If left untreated, the tomatoes will not receive sufficient nutrients. It's recommended to remove no more than three side shoots at a time.

Tomatoes need to be tied to a support. This prevents the stems from breaking under the weight of the fruit, and the plant is more comfortable. Supported, it receives more light and warmth, and is also protected from fungal diseases.
