The first entries should appear after seven days. After the seedlings have grown and the soil has warmed up sufficiently, the seedlings can be replanted. As a rule, this is the end of May or the beginning of June. The exact timing depends on the specific region.
When growing outdoors, you should choose well-lit places. Since the bushes are tall, the plants must be protected from the wind. For best growth, it is recommended to add plenty of organic matter to the soil before planting.
When transferring seedlings to open ground, they should be planted at a distance of 50 cm from each other. In this case, there should be a gap of 60 cm between the rows.
Care Tips

The tomato variety responds well to fertilizing. It is recommended to fertilize the plants three times during the season. In order for the bush to form foliage normally, a calcium solution must be regularly poured into the ground. It is worth stopping such fertilizing after buds begin to appear on the plants. During the flowering period, calcium-based fertilizers must be replaced by adding compost to the soil.
In order for the bush to spend energy not on growing green mass, but on the formation of fruits, it is necessary to periodically carry out pinching. This process involves cutting off the side shoots that grow on the stem from the lateral axils of the leaves. The formation of the bush should be two stems.
