Why You Shouldn't Stick to Tomatoes

Time flies so imperceptibly, July is the time of ripening of tomatoes. So today I want to give you some valuable advice on how to harvest their bountiful harvest. We will talk about why not all varieties of tomatoes need to be taken care of in this article.



Why not all varieties of tomatoes should be taken care of by stepsoning, since this procedure requires appropriate knowledge and experience. Many people say that it is necessary to take steps. But before that, you need to figure out which varieties you can do this with.

By the way, stepping is the process of cutting off the lateral processes. This is done so that they do not consume strength and juices from the mother bush. Most often, stepchildren are cut off when they are no more than 5 centimeters long, and do it every two weeks.



Tomatoes are by nature very branchy and lush plants. First they pick up leaves, and only then begin to bear fruit. With the help of stepsoning, tomatoes form greens faster and receive more light.

First, you can not stepchild, when stepchildren in length more than five centimeters. Otherwise, tomatoes will start to hurt and may even wither. In this case, it is better to just trim the lower leaves a little. Secondly, you don't need to step-child short, stamped and hybrid tomatoes. These varieties were bred such that they are little sick and do not require special care.



The bushes of such tomatoes have the correct shape and do not give stepchildren. They grow to a certain size and begin to bear fruit. Do not remove their branches, because these varieties are not able to grow new ones. Otherwise, you can be left without a harvest. Remember that not all types of tomatoes can be used. By the way, these are the tomatoes I plant in my house. As a result, maximum harvest and minimum care.



If you still had to stepchild tomatoes, then in any case do not throw away stepchildren. They'll come in handy in the garden. For example, I put them under currant to scare away pests. This way I get more berries from the bush. Or another way of applying: insist stepchildren in water for several days and then conduct feeding and crop prevention. Every gardener knows that tomato top is the best fertilizer in the summer cottage.



Of course, without masturbation, tomato bushes can turn into real jungles. But before you do this, you should pay attention to the variety of tomatoes. Especially if it is indeterminant tomatoes, which usually grow strongly. With such tomatoes remove all stepsons indiscriminately.



Middle-grown, or as they are also called semi-determinant varieties, are grown in two stems and leave only one large stepson. And determinant, or stamped varieties, it is better not to passon. Especially if tomatoes grow in warmer regions. I wish you success and generous harvests!
