How to grow seedlings

It is the seedlings that affect the quality and quantity of the future harvest.

Seed preparation

It is recommended to read the manufacturer's information on the packaging before purchasing seeds. You can buy them both through online stores and at any garden store. Trust only trusted and trusted suppliers.

Spread the seeds on a flat surface, inspect them, check for uncharacteristic signs. For example, if several seeds are covered with bloom or have a strange shade, it is better to discard them immediately.

The main stage of seed preparation is disinfection. The material is disinfected in several ways. For example, they are soaked in a solution based on hydrogen peroxide. Thanks to this, all infections and pathogens are destroyed.

Then hardening is carried out. To do this, place the seeds in the freezer overnight, then take them out and leave them in the room for a day. By repeating these steps several times, you will increase the plant's resistance to sudden changes in the weather.

Capacity and soil

If you bought ready-made soil in a store, you do not need to worry - it has gone through all the disinfection procedures and it is unlikely that it contains hazardous substances. If you prepared the mixture yourself, then be sure to carry out a number of procedures. First of all, disinfect the soil with boiling water. Place the soil in a pot with drainage holes and pour a small amount of boiling water into it.

Important! You should not start planting immediately after disinfection. Moisten the ground and keep at a positive temperature for 10 days. This time is necessary for the development of beneficial bacteria in the soil. Only then proceed to sowing.

With capacity, things are easier.Wooden boxes or special plastic containers for seedlings are an excellent option. The main thing is that the container is clean and dry.

Sowing

Seedlings are sown 60 days before the intended planting in the garden. Fill the containers with slightly damp soil and make holes about 1 cm deep.

The distance between the pits should be about 4 cm. Sprinkle the pits with earth on top and pour plenty of warm water.

Cover the top of the container with foil or glass. This will provide the seedlings with the right microclimate and humidity level. Place the container in a bright and warm place.

Growing and care

Seedlings need light and warmth. You can put containers with seedlings on the lightest windowsill in the house. If possible, it is recommended to provide the plant with additional light with fluorescent lamps.

Young seedlings should always be kept in a humid environment, drying out is unacceptable. It is recommended to remove the film or glass only after 2 weeks from the date of planting. Before that, you should only open it slightly so that the seedlings get used to the light and warmth.

2 weeks after the appearance of the first shoots, carry out the first feeding. Mineral and organic fertilizers based on manure or grass are ideal. In the future, add top dressing every week.

How to grow tomatoes

A cool, windless day is ideal for planting a plant in the ground. In order for the shoots to take root in the ground, we advise you to follow some rules.

Landing

Prepare the beds well in advance of planting. To do this, collect all the garbage, branches, remnants of old plants and burn. Be sure to disinfect the soil (for example, with a solution of potassium permanganate).

Once the beds are completely ready, cut into the grooves and place a sprout in each. The optimum distance between plants is about 40 cm. Water the planted seedlings abundantly. However, be careful to direct the stream of water so that it does not fall on the leaves.

Care

Plants need regular soil loosening... It is necessary to carry out the operation every 5-7 days. Loosening saturates the earth with oxygen, making it even more nutritious for tomatoes. At the stage of forming the ovaries, be sure to remove the weeds, otherwise the latter will feed on the tomatoes.

A significant role in the development of the bush is played by watering... It should be balanced: you should not plant a swamp in the beds, or, conversely, keep them dry. It is necessary to water the Noble every 5-6 days. The water temperature must be at least 22 degrees.

Since the Nobleman gives additional shoots during flowering, pay special attention to pinching. Remove stepchildren carefully, without harm to the main stem. Also, due to the large size and heavy weight of the fruit, it is necessary to tie the brushes to the stem. Otherwise, they may break.

Important! Don't forget about feeding. Start feeding the Noble from the moment the first ovary is formed. Wood ash, liquid mullein, superphosphate are excellent fertilizers.

Features of cultivation and possible difficulties

The noble variety needs the formation of bushes. Most often, one main stem is left. All formed stepsons are removed on it. The first step is to remove those that appeared immediately under the brushes, otherwise the plant may shed flowers and die. In this case, the stepsons should not be pulled out, but broken off. If the shoots are longer than 5 cm, remove them with garden shears.

The nobleman needs to be a stepchild all the time. If the summer is too hot, then be especially careful when removing the stepsons, since in the heat the plant does not tolerate any injuries. If the summer is cool and rainy, then in addition to the stepsons, it is necessary to remove all the lower leaves.So the bushes will warm up faster and better ventilated.

Important! For the best harvest in mid-August, pinch the tops of the bushes and remove those clusters on which the tomatoes are not tied. Thanks to this, already ripening fruits will quickly fill with color and taste.

Diseases and pests

The variety has a strong immunity, but sometimes it is affected by brown spots in greenhouses. They fight them by eliminating excess moisture and using the correct light regime. In addition, it is recommended to spray the bushes with garlic infusion.

On the open ground, the nobleman is sometimes attacked by a spider mite. This insect eats leaves and stems, as a result of which the bushes die. To combat spider mites, the bushes are treated with soapy water.

Particular attention is paid to protecting the bush from late blight. This is a fungal infection that can destroy most of the crop. The spore of the fungus penetrates through the stomata into the stem and infects the remaining leaves.

It manifests itself in the form of a white bloom or brownish-yellow spots. They fight late blight with a solution of potassium permanganate or infusion based on tobacco leaves.

Experienced gardeners advise to carry out preventive measures before planting. It is better to worry about the future harvest in advance than to wait for the onset of the disease.

The nuances of growing in open ground and in a greenhouse

When growing tomatoes in the open field, it is recommended to add an ash solution to the water during watering. This will improve the immunity of tomatoes and give additional strength for growth. It is also advisable to loosen the soil whenever you notice a hard crust on it.

In open ground, you need to feed the bushes constantly. Ammonium nitrate or potassium chloride are suitable for this. From microfertilizers, gardeners are advised to use magnesium and boron. Magnesium is used constantly, and boron is used only when the plant blooms.

When growing a Noble in a greenhouse, do not forget to ventilate the room. It has an increased level of moisture, which means a favorable atmosphere for the development of microbes. Before planting, disinfect not only the ground, but also all hard surfaces - pegs, doors, walls of the greenhouse.

Add a layer of straw and cut grass to the greenhouse throughout the season. This prevents the development of late blight. Also, the presence of earthworms affects the health of the soil.

Harvesting and application of the crop

The ripening period for the variety varies from 105 to 120 days. The fruits ripen gradually, so you will enjoy the Nobleman for several weeks. Pick vegetables when they reach the specified size. For long-term storage, the grandee is collected together with the substrate. Tomatoes are able to ripen after harvest, under room conditions. Their keeping quality is high.

The fruits of the Nobleman are universal in use. Their juicy and sweet taste makes them great for salads, soups and side dishes. Serve as a great addition to meat, fish and poultry dishes.

The only exception is the preparation of blanks for the winter. Large and heavy tomatoes do not fit entirely into the jar, so smaller tomatoes are better suited for canning.

Due to the high content of useful vitamins and microelements, Velmozha is suitable for dietary and baby food. It contains B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, and serves as a natural antioxidant.

Many people use tomato as a cosmetic product. For example, a face mask is made from a mixture of cottage cheese and tomato.
