On sale you can find a lot of varieties. They are divided into four large groups:
- hybrid (crop matures
- after 85 days);
- early (3 months);
- is middle (up to 100 days);
- Later (4 months).
Different periods yields suggest a different approach: the long maturation period, the later time is selected for planting.
Nuances that require attention
In the southern areas sown vegetables taken from the second half of April and early May
. This is because the frost at this time is no longer the case. It is safe to leave the plant in the open field.Hot southern climate has another advantage: it is possible to combine late and early varieties, and they are both very well grow and give a plentiful harvest. And even with late quietly grown by nonseedlings.
REFERENCE. The mid and late tomatoes are universal, they are perfectly grow in a greenhouse or in the garden, but demanding a stable level of heat and light. However, the market can find a new hybrid species that are resistant to climate change.
The difficult situation in the more northern latitudes, where in the last month of spring weather surprises are possible. In some cases, plants have to cover the film, to save from cold snap. Many gardeners prefer to greenhouse option, safer and easier, because frost can destroy seedlings, regardless of grade.
ON A NOTE. It is believed that the earliest tomatoes in this case is preferable. They adapt well to any light day, and even in adverse weather conditions, you will have time to gather ripened harvest.
Differences in the time of sowing varieties:
- the southern regions of the Russian Federation - the last decade of April;
- central - a tenth of May to early June;
- northern regions - in the second decade of May to mid-June.
ON A NOTE. If the cultivation of a culture is planned in the greenhouse, this period is shifted by 2-3 weeks ago.
The main argument in favor of the cultivation bezrassadnoj
As a rule, the seedlings start to prepare for 1.5-2 months before planting in open ground. During this period, she was experiencing at least 2 shock: hardening and change of environment (sending a greenhouse soil in the open beds). But quite often to this are mixed:
- swordplay, that practice often Piece seeding;
- insufficiently precise calculation of time availability of seedlings that simply grow;
- long wait with a bare root system (typical for purchased material).
Such an amount of stress always affects the rate of plant growth, which eventually begins to bear fruit only 1.5-2.5 weeks earlier than those grown from seed directly in the open a bed, and productivity, which is usually less than that latest.
So you decide, there are candles protracted games with seedlings or financial investment in it. But those who have returned to bezrassadnoj cultivation techniques "for himself" tomatoes, rarely grow on a windowsill more dozen shrubs, intended for early salads - Tomato bed rest is formed by them at once in the open ground.
