Description of the variety
This variety has two subspecies. They differ from each other in shape and size.
The miracle of the Ukrainian earth: pink, fruit weight from 300 to 600 g, resembles a heart in shape.
New Wonder of the Earth: fruits are large, round, weighing from 500 g to 1 kg.
The rest of their characteristics are similar.
This variety is fruitful, mid-season, easily tolerates drought and cold, and is resistant to diseases. Plants are determinant, fruits are stored for a long time and tolerate transportation well. The yield reaches 14 kg per square meter.
Attention! Wonder of the Earth is a non-hybrid variety. Seeds from the resulting crop retain varietal characteristics and are suitable for further cultivation.
Growing seedlings
50-60 days before planting in open ground or greenhouse, the seeds are soaked in warm water and sown in containers with drainage holes filled with prepared soil (you can buy ready-made in the store).
Caution! At high temperatures and strong shading, the seedlings tend to stretch out.
The optimum temperature for germination is 25 degrees Celsius.
Water and feed the tomatoes as needed. Plants with two to three leaves (not counting the cotyledons) dive 10 days after the seeds have fully germinated.
Seedlings begin to harden in the air two weeks before planting in the ground, gradually accustoming young shoots to direct sunlight.
Landing in the ground
When the temperature of the earth at a depth of 10-15 cm is set at + 14 ° C, the seedlings are planted in the ground in pre-prepared holes. Three bushes per 1 m². After planting, they are watered with warm water.
Attention... The miracle of the earth is a tall variety. Plants are tied up immediately upon planting. The support must be strong.
After two days, pinching is carried out and leaves that grow above 30 cm above the ground are removed from the shoot.
These tomatoes like moderate watering, because excessive moisture changes their taste.
Peat, humus, rotting grass, hay - good top dressing for tomatoes... It starts 2 weeks after planting seedlings in the ground and is carried out every 14 days.
When the fruits begin to set and ripen, tomatoes also need feeding... To do this, use nitrogen, potash, phosphorus preparations, infusions of cut (fresh) grass or mullein, alternating the use of mineral and organic fertilizers.
reference... During the growth period, tomatoes need nitrogen, and when the fruits set, potassium and phosphorus. Fresh manure cannot be used for plant nutrition!
The Wonder of the Earth tomato is grown in two stems. When the bush takes root and grows up, remove leaves and twigs at a height of up to 30 cm from the ground. The most powerful stepson is chosen and kept as a second stalk. Further pinching is carried out every 10-14 days.
This variety does not require preventive treatment for diseases, because has strong immunity to most of them.
Systematic loosening, weeding, watering and fertilizing are the keys to a good harvest.
Growing in soil and in a greenhouse
In order for the tomatoes to take root and bear fruit abundantly in the open field, the beds are prepared in the fall. Areas that are closed from the cold wind are chosen for them. Fertilizers, ash, compost are introduced.
With greenhouse cultivation, the yield is artificially increased.To do this, place a tank with freshly cut grass for fermentation between the beds. The carbon dioxide released during fermentation provides the necessary nutrition for the plants.
Harvesting and application of the crop
The miracle of the earth, like tomatoes of other varieties, is harvested in dry weather. Unripe fruits "reach" and are stored for two to three weeks at room temperature. At the end of summer, many summer residents use this feature of the variety.
Due to its taste, the Wonder of the Earth is more suitable for salads. But it is also used for preparations for the winter. Only the whole salting method in ordinary jars will not work - the tomatoes simply will not crawl into the neck.
