Description and rules of cultivation of tomato "Honey Spas"

Tomato variety “Honey Spas” was created by a Russian agronomist living in Novosibirsk.Growing plants occurs in greenhouse conditions or in conditions of open planting. The greatest result in the volume of harvest is obtained in areas with a stable climate, hot long summer. In order for tomatoes to ripen completely, you need a lot of warm days, moderate humidity. Tomatoes last summer harvest can be collected in the degree of brown color and leave in the room for ripening.

Tomatoes "Honey Spas" differ from other varieties in many characteristics.

Tomatoes of this variety are plants with unlimited growth. The height of the stems must be controlled during the period of growth and tied to the support stand. Due to the large weight of the fruit or when strong wind gusts long thin stems of the plant may break. Garter should be carried out as the plant grows in height.

This type of tomato belongs to salad varieties. The plant is strong, reaches a height of almost 2 meters, the number of foliage is average, light green. The maximum number of stems formed in a plant should not exceed three. Pasynki need to constantly delete. The root system of tomato is very developed, the core of the main rhizome goes deep into the ground, firmly holding the plant.

Tomatoes of “Honey Spas” variety enlarged, reach a mass of 200 g, the maximum recorded weight of a tomato is 600 g. Fruits can be of various shapes on each stem shoot: heart, bean, ball, oblate, elongated, and so on. The shell of the fetus is shiny, harsh, can not be cracked during ripening. A distinctive feature of the fruit of this variety is the juicy yellow or orange color with a honey shade. But unripe tomatoes have a round, dark-colored spot around the stem.

Tomato pulp is dense, elastic, with plenty of juice. It is distinguished by its fleshy and sugar content. The seed in the fruit is small, they are small in size. The taste of tomatoes “Honey Spas” is sweet with a pleasant aroma. Due to the small amount of acids in the fruit, they are not suitable for preservation, but they are also suitable for the diet of people with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

Tomatoes of this type are characterized by large yields, so the reviews about it are mostly positive. One seedling during the growing season can produce up to 6 kg of juicy tomatoes. Flowers of tomatoes are arranged in the form of brushes on strong stems, up to 5 tomatoes are formed in one brush. More leaves should not be left, since the tomatoes will be cramped, they will not be able to grow to the required size. The yield of this variety is high, so the reviews about it are mostly positive.

There are a lot of positive characteristics.

• Widespread among summer residents variety with good yield. Large-sized tomatoes are great for fresh consumption and preparation of tomato juice.
• The moment of ripeness occurs during the entire period of growth, so it is possible to shoot tomatoes for a long time. Amenable to long-term storage and ripen at room temperature in a dark place.
• Fruits perfectly tolerate transportation, do not lose the initial composition of substances for a long time.
• Tomatoes variety "Honey Spas" are ideal for children and people prone to allergic reactions. Permissible in the diet of persons with inflammation of the digestive organs and kidneys.

• The tomato of this variety is ideal for breeding in both open space and greenhouse conditions. They easily become accustomed to changing climate factors, enduringly enduring hot days and small decreases in air temperature.
• “Honey Spas” refers to varieties, not hybrid plants. Therefore, it is possible to collect plant seeds for new plantings. The greatest germination of plants obtained from their own seeds can be achieved 2-3 years after their collection.
• Tomatoes of this type are not predisposed to phytophthora, the appearance of gray rot, tobacco mosaic.

Some negative signs of the variety are also noted.

1. The greatest number of ovaries can be achieved while maintaining a temperature close to + 25 degrees. With a decrease to + 10-15 degrees or a rise above + 35, the likelihood of emptying increases greatly, as the sterility of pollen substances increases.
2. Housewives consider a minus grade impossible conservation and harvesting of fruits of this variety.
3. Demanding on the nutrient composition of the soil.
4. The constant appearance of a large number of shoots from the sides of the plant, frequent carrying out the staving.
5. Long branches of tomato that need to be tied up.

Experienced gardeners have developed an algorithm for growing tomatoes of the Honey Spas variety.

Tomato seeds are planted in March from the 5th day to the middle of the month. To begin, carry out the preparatory procedures in this order:

• select the seeds by soaking in a salt solution (empty seeds will float up);
• disinfect 1% manganese solution;
• we process seeds with growth promoters;
• sprouting;
• harden;
• warming up

The best precursors for tomatoes are the soils where they grew garlic, onions, cucumbers and carrots. We mix the soil with a mixture of peat and river sand in the same proportions.

Add the furnace ash to stabilize the acid composition of the soil. We process the prepared soil composition with a hot solution of manganese concentrate, steamed for the destruction of bacteria and larvae present in the soil.

Tomato seeds are sown to a depth of one and a half centimeters and covered with a thin layer of peat mixture. The temperature in the room should be within 25 degrees for quick germination. As soon as sprouts appear, the temperature needs to be reduced.

Tomatoes are grown with seedlings. The exact time of sowing the seed depends on the timing of planting seedlings at the right place. Tomato seedlings matured for transplanting are 50-60 days after planting. Externally, these plants should be different strength, sprawling root system, dense bright leaves.

Even in the seedlings tomatoes require a good fertile soil composition. Soil can be specialized, perhaps its self-preparation. Necessary condition - disinfection within two days prior to landing of seeds. Both the soil and the dishes for planting are subject to disinfection.

Tomatoes can be grown with the use of picks or in its absence. When using the second method, seeds are sown in separate containers in the amount of 1-2 pieces. When germinating, the weakest sprout is removed, leaving a powerful and strong.

With the growth of two or three true leaves produce a pick. Replanting, carry out deepening to the first leaves, water abundantly and put the plants in a dark place for 2-3 days. If the leaves of the tomato became dense, then rooting was successful.

At the end of May, the strengthened sowing culture is transferred to a greenhouse or field. Due to the fact that the plants are large, on 1 square. the meter should not be dropping more than 3 plants.After disembarking, we carry out a garter to the rack, in the future to the same rack can be tied with a brush with fruit set. It is advisable to spend the first 5-7 days hiding planted plants for the night.

Caring for varieties of plants is to timely remove the side shoots. Watering is done only under the bush, the water should not fall on the leafy part. Immediately after watering, the ground needs to be pierced, weeded. Tomatoes do not tolerate stagnant water, so we focus on the appearance of the soil. Water temperature should not be too low, the water hardness is small. The most convenient option - a barrel under the rain water, warming the sun.

During the summer we carry out dressing. In a few tricks. Alternating organic and mineral supplements. This may be infusions of organic fertilizers (chicken manure, cattle manure) or ready-made mineral complexes, which are composed of all the necessary substances and minerals.

When setting fruits, the bottom row of leaves and those that grow above the brush are removed for better ventilation and good lighting. We do not give the opportunity to grow stepchildren, we form the main plant in 2-3 stalks.

Plants varieties "Honey Spas" are not subject to various diseases. They practically do not become infected with late blight, gray rot, tobacco mosaic and other diseases caused by viruses and fungus. In order to avoid such diseases, it is necessary to observe crop rotation. Tomatoes can not be planted after eggplant, bell pepper, zucchini.

When grown in a greenhouse way, tomatoes become infected with diseases from seedlings of another variety. For preventive purposes, crops should be sprayed with the drug "Fitosporin" and other means that do not contain toxic substances.

In addition to disease, the danger for tomatoes comes from bare slugs, Colorado beetles, aphids, whiteflies. Flying insects and slugs are destroyed by spraying a solution of ammonia. Pupae of parasitic insects kills the solution of copper sulfate and manganese, the aphid is washed off with a solution of soap. They wash the seedlings affected by this insect. To fight the slugs around the tomato bush, you can scatter chopped walnut shells, wood ash from the Colorado potato beetle, which is sprayed on the plant, helps.

An excellent preventive action to control insects is planting plants along the edges of tomato beds. Calendula drives away Colorado beetles, ticks and bedbugs; flies and weevils can not stand the smell of lavender; ants and aphids do not tolerate the aromas of lavender, rosemary and thyme, these same plants scare snails and slugs; scoop drives off basil planted among tomato plants.

Tomatoes "Honey Spas" are one of the most popular varieties among gardeners. Its dietary qualities are considered indispensable for diseases associated with the inability to eat foods containing acid. The lack of red pigmenting substance allows allergies to eat tomatoes of this variety. A rich harvest, a large number of advantages and simple agrotechnology make “Honey Spas” variety tomatoes more and more used.
