In general, the shortcomings of "Yablonki Russia" practically do not emit. The only thing that can be mentioned: this variety can get late blight or become a victim of an insect attack. But still the likelihood of this is extremely small, moreover, late blight can be prevented. Tomatoes can not be planted in those places where tomatoes and potatoes have already grown - late blight predecessors may remain in the ground and spread to the "newcomers."

Reviews of those who have already planted "Yablonka Russia", advised to plant it with seedlings. Seeds are best to use your own, from those that were harvested in the past harvest. And you can contact verified suppliers. Seedlings can be taken at the end of winter or at the beginning of spring. There are no special requirements for the soil, you can buy ready-made soil intended for tomatoes. The seeds themselves will be well treated with potassium permanganate.

As soon as the seeds are distributed in containers with the ground, they are covered with polyethylene and cleaned in a warm place. It is important not to let the sun's rays, so seedlings can not be put on the windowsill, but below the battery - the most it. The temperature should be kept between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius. Watering is carried out using a spray gun, the frequency is determined by eye - as soon as the dried earth is noticeable, seedlings should be irrigated immediately. It is important to remember that tomatoes need to stay in the light for 10 hours. If the weather is failing, or the landing was originally started in non-solar regions, you should think about artificial lighting.

As soon as a few leaves appear on the stalks, the seedlings need to be dived, that is, seated in separate pots. This will help the root system to develop well. Transplantation is carried out in a well-moistened soil, very carefully, so as not to harm the undeveloped plant. Two months after the emergence of shoots, plants can be sent to the garden.

A couple of weeks before planting in open ground or a greenhouse, tomatoes can begin to harden. To do this, they will have to be left for a few minutes by the open window, taken out onto the street or into the greenhouse. Hardening is important because this procedure allows the plant to form a sturdy and stable stem. Considering that “Yablonka Rossiya” is very high, the persistence of the “warp” will be the way.

If you decide to grow tomatoes in the open field, it is important to protect the planting from gusts of strong wind. This means that the beds are located either near the fence, or near the walls of the house, or behind some tall crops, such as sunflowers. Planted seedlings in pre-fertilized wells so that between the bushes there is approximately 70 centimeters of free space. Each seedling is buried, covered with earth, “slapped” and irrigated with quality. To grow tomatoes faster, they can be wrapped with plastic wrap.

Somewhere in two weeks, it's time to feed. There are several options to fertilize tomatoes.

• First, you can sprinkle the soil with previously stored wood ash.
• Secondly, collect a mullein, dilute it in a container with water and let it stand. Watering should be carefully, so that the fertilizer does not fall on the stems and leaves of Yablonki.
• Thirdly, it is recommended to feed the plantings with a herbal solution. In a large container is laid grass without seeds, for example, nettle, dandelion and celandine. To the top everything is filled with water.

When landing on the right place "Yablonka" will not suffer from late blight and other typical diseases. However, there are several exceptions to the rule. Tomatoes can undergo bacteriosis, so much so that the bush will wither overnight. The affected plant will have to be immediately removed from the garden and thrown out. Prevent this can timely processing of seeds with potassium permanganate. In addition, tomatoes can become ill with macrosporosis, as a result of which the lower leaflets are mainly affected. To prevent this from happening, it is important to remove excess seedlings on time from the base of the stem.

Finally, the variety is mosaic prone. Just as with bacteriosis, the plant will not be saved, but treatment with potassium permanganate will save from trouble.

As for pests, of course, we can expect an attack of the Colorado beetles. It is important to periodically inspect shrubs, collect adult specimens and remove leaflets with larvae. If more serious methods are required, then tomatoes can be sprayed with any solution from the Colorado potato beetle. In addition, tomato bushes often come to insects such as whiteflies and aphids. In both cases, the captured plant will need to be processed. Wormwood infusion, tobacco dust or purchased insecticides will help.

The harvest of ripe tomatoes begins in the last month of summer and continues until cooling. Specific dates depend on the climate of the area. If a part of the tomatoes did not have time to ripen, then they can be assembled, laid out in plastic boxes with holes and put away in a dark room at room temperature. And also the bush can be dug, transplanted into a small bucket and then again put away in a warm place with sufficient lighting.

In general, collect fruits that have reached a certain size, red and green.
