How to grow tomatoes?

The "Gift for a Woman" tomato variety is easy to grow, but to grow high-yielding plants, proper care of the seeds and seedlings is essential. Before planting, rinse the seeds in a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After soaking for half an hour, rinse them with clean water and dry.

Fill the seed containers with soil mixed with humus. Dig 2-cm-deep holes in the soil, place the seeds in them, and cover them with a thin layer of soil. Cover the seed pots with plastic wrap and place them in a room with a temperature of 25°C (77°F). The room air should be moderately humid. As soon as sprouts appear in the containers, carefully monitor the leaf formation. When the plants have two true leaves, transplant them. Transplant the sprouts into separate containers and feed them.

Seedlings aged 55 to 60 days can be planted outdoors—in a greenhouse in the second half of May, and in open ground in early June. Before planting, loosen the soil, fertilize with humus, and add superphosphate and wood ash to the holes. Space the seedlings at least 50 cm apart.

There is no need to remove the side shoots from mature bushes, but they must be watered regularly with warm water. Fertilize tomatoes every two weeks. Use a cow manure solution or a mineral complex fertilizer. Occasionally, foliar feeding with phosphorus-containing fertilizers is recommended.
