Growing and caring for the bush: tips

Seeds suitable for planting can be germinated. Germination provides an opportunity to verify the quality and suitability for sowing. To do this, they are placed on wet gauze or a cloth for several days. Sprouted seeds can be planted in pots with soil, but not deeper than 2 centimeters. If planted deeper, the sprout will be difficult to germinate, and it will disappear.

For good seedlings, you need to warm the soil with a lamp, and thus make a 16-hour day with light. It will be necessary to warm the seedlings that have sprouted, since tomatoes need a lot of light and heat. It is important to take care of the future harvest, for this you need to apply mineral fertilizers to the soil every 10 days.

A pick can be started after the formation of 2 permanent leaves. Brushes with inflorescences appear after germination of 2 permanent leaves. Landing begins after the completion of the last frost. But before planting, you need to temper the seedlings in the air. It is necessary to take the pots outside first for 10 minutes, gradually adding to the time spent in the air. Just do not need to take containers to the open sun - this will only harm the future bushes. After planting in the ground, during the period of the sun, it is worth wrapping bushes to protect from high temperatures.

The ground near the bushes can be laid with dry grass or straw, which will become a pillow for heavy branches with tomatoes. The bushes have a thick stem, but due to a larger harvest, the branches can lean to the ground and break. Littering the soil also contributes to not upholstering the tomatoes from the bush in the fall.

Tomatoes are ripe and therefore resistant to late blight. Bushes are not very demanding in care, but they give a good harvest with plenty of light and a moderate amount of moisture.

Fruit

The productivity of the Irma tomato variety is high. They are early ripe, resistant to disease. Each fruit can weigh up to 300 grams. They begin to sing together, due to this, the bushes and are brittle.

Tomatoes are dense both inside and out. Due to the elasticity they do not crack and are better stored. They tolerate transportation well and are not prone to cracking. This tomato variety is great for pickling, canning and eating raw.

3. Taisia ​​Alexandrovna, 45 years old, Alchevsk: Irma has been buying tomatoes for several years. Every season they delight with their harvest. They are not picky in care and give a good harvest. I do not tie up bushes, but only cover the ground under them with straw. It protects tomatoes from contact with the ground and thus late blight infection can be avoided. I am not a fan of various fertilizers, and I cultivated the soil of the pots when sowing seeds with some means. Not the first time I bought seeds and once again I will definitely buy it.
