- Productivity.
So, you have selected future tomatoes according to your criteria and selected the most fruitful seeds of tomatoes of Siberian selection. Tomatoes from Siberian breeders are suitable for cultivation both in open and protected ground. Growing without protection is a risky farming, the crop depends too much on the whims of Mother Nature. In a greenhouse, you get a guaranteed harvest, much more abundant than in the open field and almost 3 weeks faster. And tomatoes in technical ripeness can be removed directly from the bush. It is unlikely that you will see mature standing tomatoes in the open field. But it is at the beginning of summer that the body wants more vitamins.
Caring for the future harvest begins in the spring, even in winter, when the time comes to plant seeds for seedlings. Harden the seeds before planting.

When the plants have reached a height of approximately 30 cm, they are ready to be transplanted into the greenhouse soil. Plant tall varieties and hybrids in a row or staggered at a distance of 40 - 60 cm. Prepare the soil mixture in the greenhouse in advance. Tomatoes love sandy loam or light loamy soil.
