In a greenhouse, picking tomatoes is possible all year round. For this, it is advisable to select seeds taking into account the climatic characteristics of the area. For tomatoes grown in this way, the following is characteristic:

fast ripening;
bountiful harvest;
excellent commercial qualities;
resistance to pests, diseases, bad weather conditions.

When choosing seeds, taste characteristics, storage and transportation are also taken into account. The yield of greenhouse tomatoes is affected by the internal microclimate and the type of bushes. Among them, there are 2 main types: indeterminate and determinant.

A high yield is obtained when growing determinant bushes, since the brushes are formed through 2 leaves. But they need more careful care. And indeterminate plants are constantly in need of tying and pinching. A large number of varieties and hybrids are distinguished. Our experts have compiled a rating of the best of them.

Features of pink tomatoes

Scarlet or raspberry tomatoes are grown in a greenhouse, open field, even on a windowsill. The variety of varieties offers tomatoes of various shapes:

rounded;
oval (cream);
flat-round;
pepper-shaped;
heart-shaped.

Raspberry fruits are characterized by a high sugar content and a minimal acidity. Vegetables are recommended for the children's menu. The pulp contains B vitamins, antioxidants, lycopene, carotene, trace elements.

Benefits of pink-fruited tomatoes:

large fruit size;
rich taste and aroma;
thin skin;
juicy pulp;
high content of sugar and nutrients;
versatility of application.

Information. Sweet tomatoes are the best option for pickling. Sugar is essential for stimulating fermentation processes.

When growing a tomato, gardeners face several problems:

Diseases. Varieties with pink fruits are most often affected by late blight and other fungal infections. Prevention allows you to prevent ailments. Seeds are disinfected in a solution of potassium permanganate. The bushes are treated with Fitosporin, Quadris, and copper sulfate. Spraying with milk whey is effective.
Skin cracking. Fruits crack if watering is not followed. A prolonged drought, and then a sharp increase in humidity, should not be allowed. Watering with warm water is organized, the liquid should not get on the leaves and stems. The second reason for the appearance of cracks is the differences between day and night temperatures. Delicate tomatoes are best grown indoors.
Top dressing. Large tomatoes are demanding on the nutritional value of the soil. They need complex mineral fertilizers and organic compounds (humus, mullein, bird droppings, herbal infusion).
The need for tying. The stems and branches of plants do not withstand the load and break. It is necessary to tie them to a support (stakes or trellises).
Stealing and shaping. The size and quantity of tomatoes depends on the quality of plant care. Experienced gardeners cultivate 1-2 (greenhouse) or 3-4 (open ground) stems. Stepsons are removed regularly, as are some of the leaves.
