The specifics of planting and care

When growing any variety of large-fruited tomatoes, it should be borne in mind that they have the property of growing to the sides and up. Therefore, they should not be allowed to grow arbitrarily, so as not to receive small fruits. It is customary to plant tomato seedlings in a greenhouse in the first decade of May. During this period, the air temperature is still not very high, therefore it is recommended to tighten the greenhouse with a second layer of film, which can be removed at the beginning of June. Airing is important, because in the stuffy and high humidity of the air, the seedlings can die. Seedling beds are made along the greenhouse, the number depends on its width.In this case, the width of the bed itself should be about 80 cm. The soil for planting is prepared in three days, you can spill it with hot water with potassium permanganate at the rate of 1 gram per liter. Large-fruited varieties are planted at a distance of about 60 cm.
Immediately after planting, the seedlings need to be pinned, while leaving no more than two stems. At the same time, side shoots are removed, and in place of the cut stepson, it is imperative to leave a stump of 2 cm so that it does not appear again. On each of the stems, it is necessary to leave about 3 - 6 flower brushes.To limit the growth of crops, when the plant reaches its maximum height, its tops must be pinched, leaving about three sheets above the brush.

The bushes are advised to be tied to special supports so that they do not break due to the weight of the vegetables that have appeared. It is best to make vertical trellises, pull the wire directly over them so that later you can wind tall crops on them as they grow. In this case, the brushes together with the fruits must be tied separately. Other types of care for large tomatoes are the same as for low and medium-sized varieties.
