To enjoy delicious, fragrant tomatoes in the fall, you need to properly grow them. Any plant has its own characteristics, which are taken into account when planting. Where does any plant begin? Of course, from the seeds. Qualitative, they are the guarantor of the future harvest. When purchasing seeds of an early ripe variety, choose a bullfinch. This tomato is designed for cultivation in the middle and northern regions of the country, so a harvest will be necessary. When choosing seeds, do not forget to focus only on well-known producers.
The first step in growing is sowing. Its timing depends on the variety of tomatoes and their precocity. There are several groups into which all available varieties are divided. These include:
Each manufacturer describes the product on the package. He will definitely indicate which group the plant belongs to. On the original packaging you will find the name of the variety - Bullfinch. This tomato is ultra-precocious. Therefore, you will get the first fruits from it in the middle of summer.
The process of growing seedlings always begins with preparing the soil for sowing seeds. It must be prepared in the fall on your site or buy ready-made in the store. In any case, the land should be loose and fertile. If it is taken from the garden, then you need to add compost, ash or complex fertilizer. Bullfinch tomatoes are very responsive to high organic content and prefer a slightly alkaline soil reaction.
Sowing seeds of late varieties for seedlings is necessary in mid-March, and for early varieties - at the end of this month. In phase 2-3 of these leaves, it is dived. This will allow the plant to grow additional root mass and positively affect further growth.
Due to the large damage to plants, late blight tomato varieties have been very popular lately . One of them is Bullfinch. This tomato is grown in open ground. Less than 97 days pass from seed germination to the technical maturity of the fruit. In addition to its precocity, it has one more excellent property - it does not need to be stepson. The bush grows only 40 cm in height and forms a small number of stepsons.
Seedlings are planted in the ground no earlier than the beginning of May. But since at that time there are still return frosts, then it is covered with a spanbond or a film. It should be borne in mind that tomatoes do not like high humidity, so it is necessary to regularly air the greenhouse. Water the tomatoes only under the root, since moisture on the leaf can lead to the development of diseases.
There are many varieties of tomatoes resistant to late blight, but this does not mean complete immunity, and upon unfavorable conditions, the plant may be affected by the disease. The Bullfinch tomato variety is resistant to late blight and cracking, which has made it popular among summer residents and owners of rural estates.
This variety has large red fruits weighing up to 150 grams, round and even. With proper planting and care, the Bullfinch (tomato) is ideal for any region.
