Features of planting and caring for tomatoes

Note! It is necessary to plant Lyrica tomatoes in early spring (end of March). It is advisable to plant seeds in small boxes. The ground in the boxes should be prepared in advance. The land must be warm, and it is also important to fertilize the land using organic fertilizers. After the seeds sprout, it is advisable to thin them out. This is necessary in order for the seedlings to be strong.

In order to get a good harvest, you need to water the plant frequently during flowering. You also need to prevent overgrowth of the plant, in one bush there should be no more than 2-3 stems.

It is important to clear the area of ​​weeds in time. In addition to the fact that weeds deplete nutrients from the soil and interfere with the growth of crops, they often cause infection with diseases.

Important! If there is a threat of frost between the bushes, you need to lay out straw. After the formation of tomatoes, it is advisable to strengthen the plant and tie it up. Since some bushes can produce up to 20 kg of fruit, the stems can break because of this.
