Tomato Nastena F1 - description and characteristics of the variety

When summer residents are faced with a choice of which tomato varieties should be planted next year, they primarily look at the following qualities: where to plant, yield, how quickly the berry ripens, whether tomatoes can be stored for a long time, and whether it is convenient to transport them over long distances. Russian breeders have bred many varieties that meet the above parameters. One of them is Nastena F1. Gardeners praise these tomatoes, planting them year after year.

Description

Nastena, planted in a greenhouse, extends up to 1.2 meters, on the street the length is slightly less - no more than 1 meter. Bushes differ in power, quite stable. They can not be tied up and not supported, but there are often winds on the street, so it is better to play it safe. The variety belongs to the determinate species, and therefore does not require formation and pinching. There are few dark green leaves on the bush, which gives its advantages - excessive moisture does not form, and the fruits ripen evenly.

Description of the fruit:

1. Berries ripen in 90-93 days.
2. The average weight of tomatoes is 200-250 grams. Although there are cases when the berry ripened 350-400 grams.
3. Tomatoes are juicy, very fleshy and dense, few seeds in the fruit.
4. The shape of the fetus is rounded, slightly flattened.
5. Each brush contains 6-8 fruits.

Sowing

Landing is carried out either in the purchased soil, or in prepared independently. It is prepared as follows: equal parts of garden soil, sand and humus are mixed. The resulting soil is poured with boiling water, dried, seeds are planted in it 1.5 centimeters and sprinkled with a thin peat layer. Seeds are watered, covered with a film on top and put in heat for several days. The temperature should be high - not lower than 25 degrees.

Seeds germinate after 5-7 days, after this period the film is removed. The rest of the seedlings stand in a place where there is a lot of light and is regularly watered. You need to feed at this time 1-2 times, as a complete feed, a full range of fertilizers is used. Dives after the appearance of 3 or 4 leaves.

Transfer of seedlings to the site

Before transferring seedlings to the garden, they must be hardened within two weeks - taken out into the street, each time increasing the time. First you need to prepare the soil for the seedlings - dig, remove weeds, add sand or ash so that there is drainage. If the soil is acidic, then it is good to pour lime into it.

The bushes, although small, but powerful, so everyone needs a place. The soil around the bush is compacted, and mulch of peat or straw is put. Mineral feeding is added to the hole, it is covered with earth and spilled abundantly with settled water.

Resistance to various pests and diseases

"Nastya" is resistant to all types of diseases affecting nightshade - late blight, verticellosis and other standard sores do not affect it. Insects do not bother the plant either. To eliminate risks, it is recommended to spray the bushes with a weak potassium permanganate solution 2 times a month.

Summer residents, who have extensive experience in gardening, observe crop rotation and plant tomatoes after planting the main garden crops - carrots, cabbage, greens and so on.

Care

Caring for this variety is standard and simple:

1. From time to time you need to water the culture. At normal times - 3 or 4 times a week, when the heat is every day.And after each watering, loosen the ground - the variety requires a lot of air so that the roots breathe constantly.
2. We already spoke about the supports - you can do without them, but since there are a lot of berries on one bush, it is better to put them on. It is unnecessary to talk about the fact that there should not be weeds on the site.
3. Every two weeks you need to feed the plants. It is best to use standard fertilizers that contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.

In carrying out the above recommendations, Nastena will appreciate a plentiful harvest - 17-20 kilograms per square meter.

Reviews

1. Antonina, 27 years old: Last year, she planted Nastya in the open ground. Fruiting this species was the first. Tomatoes are large - more than 200 grams, with a plump skin, one to one. It tastes sweet, juicy. They ate from the bush and made salads.
2. Svetlana, 33 years old: Nastenu was planted at random by reading the characteristics of the variety. I decided to try - how will it be? She planted on the street, almost did not deal with them, only watered and loosened the ground. Tomatoes ripened before anyone else. They tasted sweet and tasty. The harvest was big, but the whole was eaten, so nothing was prepared for the winter. Next season will have to be planted in large quantities.
