Growing features

There is nothing difficult in breeding tomatoes with a fruit name. This variety does not have any peculiarities in terms of care and is grown according to the same principle as all other varieties of tomatoes. Cultivation begins with pre-sowing seed preparation and planting:

• For disinfection and prevention, on the eve of planting, the planting material is soaked in a pink solution of potassium permanganate or in an industrial fungicide diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions;
• Seeds are pre-germinated on a piece of damp tissue or immediately sown into a wet soil mixture of turf, sand and rotted manure. Embedding depth - 1.5-2 cm. Optimum temperature for the emergence of sprouts - + 22- + 26C;
• After the emergence of seedlings, the seedling container is placed on a sunny windowsill, while reducing the temperature to +20 C.

Tomatoes are planted on the garden bed in the second half of May or early June. Landing is carried out according to the following plan:

1. Approximately 2-3 weeks before the intended planting, mineral fertilizers are scattered over the selected area, and then they dig deep into the earth. In order to prevent tomato diseases, the soil is abundantly shed with a solution of copper sulfate;
2. On a cloudy day, pits are made in the garden bed and rotted manure, compost or complex fertilizer are placed in them, and then they are sprinkled with a handful of earth and watered with a small amount of water. Tomato planting scheme Peach - 3-4 plants per 1 sq. M. area;
3. Seedlings are inserted into the holes, the roots are spread to the sides and sprinkled with earth;
4. If desired, the garden bed is covered with hay or straw. Mulch inhibits the growth of weeds and slows down the evaporation of moisture.

Planting tomatoes

Further care for Peach tomatoes consists of the following manipulations:

• Watering. Tomatoes love abundant, but rare watering, so the bushes are watered once a week with warm water under the root. Watering tomatoes every day, and even cold water, is impossible - due to constant humidity and sudden changes in temperature, plants will develop slowly and often get sick;
• Top dressing. The Peach tomato variety needs regular feeding. During active growth, the bushes are fertilized with ammonium nitrate, carbamide or any other mineral nitrogen-containing fertilizers. Opponents of synthetic dressings apply a mullein solution (1: 6) or chicken droppings (1:20) under the tomatoes. As soon as the plants set fruit, nitrogen mixtures are replaced with potassium-phosphorus ones. Tomatoes are fed 4-5 times with an interval of 2 weeks;
• Dive. Peach tomatoes are transplanted into separate pots from a large seedling container after the formation of 2-3 true leaves. The bush dives into the garden or greenhouse at the age of 2 months or after 5-6 leaves appear. Thanks to a double transplant, tomatoes grow a powerful rhizome and bear fruit better than those that have been transplanted only once;
• Shaping and pinching. In greenhouses, the length of the stems often reaches 2 m, so red Peach tomatoes, and all other indents with a similar name, are necessarily formed. Bushes lead into one stem, plucking off all the lateral processes for this;
• Loosening and weeding. These simple procedures accompany the cultivation of each plant. Peach tomatoes growing in loose soil not depleted by weeds are less likely to get sick and bear fruit more abundantly.
