Characteristics and description of the tomato variety Children's sweetness
The tomato is early ripening, from germination to full ripeness takes from 80 to 90 days. Tomato bushes are undersized, reaching a height of 60 cm.
The fruits are small, bright red in color and round in shape. They have dense skin and sweet sugar flesh.
Agricultural technology for cultivating varieties
Baby sweetness is suitable for growing both in seedlings and without seedlings.
To grow seedlings, seeds are sown at the end of April to a depth of 1.5 cm. Subsequently, the sprouts dive in the phase of 1-2 true leaves. When the seedlings are 40 days old, they can be planted in open or closed ground, if the threat of frost has passed.
2 weeks after planting, fertilizer is applied to the soil from urea, nitrogen and ammonium nitrate. During the entire period of growth, it is necessary to feed the plants in the form of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, boron and iron. To increase the sugar content of the fruits, 1/2 liter of nutrient solution can be added under each bush. Mix 1 tablespoon of table salt and 1 tablespoon of potassium chloride, dilute in warm or settled water.
The formation of the bush is carried out up to the first brush (removal of all leaves and side shoots growing below the first brush).
It is also necessary to carry out pinching in order to avoid thickening the bush and crushing the fruit.
It is better to use warm or settled water for watering. Avoid getting water on the leaves and stems of tomato bushes. During the ripening of tomatoes, watering is reduced so that the bushes do not build up excess green mass, but spend energy on ripening the fruits.
It is imperative to carry out loosening and weeding so that the plant gets more oxygen.
