Subtleties of landing
The Podsinskoye Miracle tomato variety is grown by seedlings both in greenhouses and in unprotected soil. Tomato seeds are sown from the third decade of February to the end of March. Before planting, they are disinfected for half an hour in a weak solution of potassium permanganate, washed, dried and kept in a growth stimulator for at least 30-40 minutes. Treated seeds are sown in plastic containers with drainage holes at the bottom, filled with moist purchased soil substrate or a mixture of equal amounts of peat, humus and garden soil. The crops are sprinkled with a layer of soil maximum 20 mm thick and covered with a transparent film to create a greenhouse effect.
To make tomato seeds germinate faster, keep the box with them on a well-lit windowsill at a temperature of +22-25 0C
When the first shoots emerge from the ground, the container is freed from the film cover and transferred to a cooler room. As soon as 3-4 true leaves are formed on the plants, they are dropped into individual plastic cups with a volume of 500 ml. Subsequent care of tomato seedlings comes down to timely watering and fertilizing.
Tomato Podsinsky miracle is planted in three bushes per 1 m2
Tomato seedlings are transplanted to a permanent location at the end of May.To do this, choose a well-lit area with fertile soil, where greens, onions, legumes, garlic or zucchini were previously grown. Tomato seedlings are carefully removed from the cups, trying not to disturb the earthen ball, and planted in pre-dug holes, fertilized with manure or other organic matter. Then the plantings are watered with cool, settled water and provided with reliable support.
Care instructions
The Podsinsky miracle tomato is easy to care for and requires standard agricultural technology, which implies:
- Moisturizing. Although this tomato variety is considered a drought-resistant variety, it requires watering. The soil under the tomatoes is moistened weekly with cool, settled water, making sure that moisture does not get on the leaves.
- Application of fertilizers. Like other tall varieties, the Podsinsky Miracle tomato absorbs a large amount of nutrients from the soil. For full growth and development, plants are fertilized several times a season with mineral compounds. Fertilizers containing potassium, phosphorus, nitrogen and magnesium are applied in the early stages, before the ovaries form. Then the soil under the bushes is sprinkled with wood ash weekly.
- Soil treatment. The soil under the plantings is regularly loosened to ensure the flow of oxygen to the roots and prevent stagnation of moisture, which contributes to the development of fungal infections. Also, the trunk circle and row spacing are periodically weeded to remove weeds, which take water and nutrients from the soil.
- Formation of plants. The bushes are formed into 2-3 stems, promptly tearing off wilted leaves, dried out and excess shoots. Elongated plants are tied to a trellis with synthetic material, braiding the stem under each internode.Every 10 days, tomatoes are pruned, removing shoots growing from the axils of the leaves.
- Hilling. Tomatoes are prone to forming additional roots that will have to be covered with soil. The bushes are earthed up twice a season: when the rudiments of roots appear on the shoots near the surface of the soil and when a slight blue color appears on the lower part of the stem.
Disease and pest control
Under unfavorable conditions, the Podsinsky miracle tomato becomes susceptible to various rots. They affect all parts of the bushes and in advanced cases lead to the death of plants. Fungicides are used to control diseases.
Bordeaux mixture is a broad-spectrum fungicide effective against various fungal diseases.
Conclusion
The Podsinskoe Miracle tomato is a late-ripening, high-yielding variety valued for its good adaptability and low maintenance requirements. It is widely used in cooking and is an excellent alternative to rose-fruited varieties.
