How do I prepare the seeds?
In order to know which seeds will germinate exactly, a small sorting is carried out. To do this, take a glass of warm water and dilute a tablespoon of salt in it.After preparing a salty solution, tomato seeds are poured into it and kept there for 20 minutes. During this time, empty and unusable seeds will surely float to the surface of the water.
It is also important to prevent the occurrence of diseases:
- Disinfection in 10% hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 minutes;
- Heat treatment in an oven for 3 hours at a temperature of 50 C;
- Bioactivation of seeds in aloe juice for 12 hours. It is best to soak the seeds overnight.
Sowing seed
Tomato bushes are best planted in seedlings. To do this, at the end of March, seeds are sown in small pots and in prepared soil.
The soil must first be calcined in the oven to destroy harmful microorganisms.
Then the soil collected in the pots is abundantly moistened and the tomato seeds are deepened into it by no more than 1.5 cm. The pots can be covered with cellophane to create a greenhouse effect, but it is important to remove it as soon as the first sprouts appear.
Before replanting plants to a permanent place, they need to be tempered in the fresh air. The pots are taken out on the balcony or outside for several hours. The hardening procedure begins a week before planting.
Seedling planting rules
To plant sprouts, you need to perform the following actions:
- Dig holes. On one square meter, you can plant no more than 3 bushes at a distance of 50 cm by 40 cm from each other;
- Pour boiling water over the wells to disinfect the topsoil;

Features of growing Siberian giant tomatoes, planting and care
We recommend sowing the seeds of this tomato for seedlings 60-65 days before the intended planting in the ground. Seedlings dive - at the stage of two or three true leaves. When planting seedlings to a permanent place of 1 sq. per meter of the prepared site, place no more than 3 plants, when forming in 1 stem - up to 4.
Further care for tomatoes consists of timely watering, top dressing with complex mineral fertilizers, pinching and preventive measures to protect against diseases and pests.
We also recommend using mulching when growing tomatoes in a greenhouse. Spread hay, straw, or slightly dried grass with a layer of 5-7 cm between the tomato bushes, covering all the open soil. This contributes to the retention of moisture in the soil and also prevents weeds from growing.But the most important thing is that the humidity in a greenhouse with mulched beds is much lower, which means that there are no favorable conditions for the development of phytophthora.

Culture care
Tomatoes are very fond of fertile soil, thanks to this, one should not forget about regular feeding with complex fertilizers. It is important to feed the bushes in a single breath after planting, then fertilizer is added during flowering, and disinterested times should be paid attention to additives during the ripe tomato harvest. Tall bushes require tying to installed supports and mandatory pinching. There is enough food for the fruit for growth and development.
Plants should not be doused often; it is recommended to do this once a week with a warm swim. If the soil is waterlogged, the fruits may turn out to be watery, and the root system may begin to rot.
It is necessary to loosen the soil regularly and carefully, in order not to damage the roots. It is imperative to remove weeds, and again spray the bushes from pests: beetles, slugs, butterflies and Colorado beetles.
Even if tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, you need to ventilate it regularly. The obtained yield of the variety directly depends on the observance of care measures. The more nutrients the fruits receive, the larger and healthier they will be.
