Sincerely, Sofya Guseva.

It's no secret that tomatoes contain biologically active substances in abundance. They are able to normalize intestinal acidity and promote rejuvenation of body cells. The reason is that, being strong antioxidants, tomatoes neutralize free radicals.

Which varieties to choose?

Today there are many varieties of tomatoes highest quality. Let’s not forget that in Italian the word “tomato” means “golden apple”. Sometimes it is also called country orange. The fact is that tomatoes are not inferior to citrus fruits in terms of the amount of vitamin C. One large fruit contains daily norm this vitamin! Here are the names of just some varieties of tomatoes:

"anyuta";
"alpha";
"bull's heart"
"Andromeda";
"admiralty";
"Neva";
"jewel";
"Siberian early ripening";
"rocket";
"de barao".

At the same time, both professionals and amateurs are convinced that the best tomato varieties for open ground are those that have a ripening period of about 90 days. That is, they will sing for about 3 months.

for open ground

Each of these varieties, naturally, has its own characteristics. Some of them are universal - suitable for both open ground and greenhouses. But there are varieties that are intended specifically for the street. These tomatoes are distinguished by the fact that the seedlings are not so susceptible to cold and can survive light frosts, which often occur in early spring.

Here are the best tomato varieties for open ground: “Anyuta”, “Alpha”, “Riddle”, “Anastasia”, “Harvest”, “Crimson Giant”, “Roma” and others, which we will talk about below.

All of these species are characterized by high resistance to various diseases. Moreover, the weight of one tomato reaches 200 g. In addition, they all have excellent taste. But this is subject to proper care. Without human care, even the most best tomatoes may disappear.

Features of different varieties

When listing the best tomato varieties for open ground, one cannot fail to mention the following: “mystery” and “raspberry giant”. Let's start with the first one. "Riddle" is an early breed. This type is distinguished by smooth fruits with dense skin. TO mid-early varieties referred to as the “crimson giant”. Its peculiarity is the sweet fruits of large size and flattened shape.

Some varieties are short-growing, others, on the contrary, are tall. In particular, Roma tomatoes from Holland, although they have relatively small fruits, produce up to 20 tomatoes from one bush, the height of which can reach 0.5 m.

for the Moscow region

“Sanka” is considered super-early and short-growing. Ripening occurs after three months, the height of the bush is 0.6 meters. The fruits have a distinct characteristic color and high juiciness, as well as excellent taste. This variety can be eaten fresh or canned.

"Anyuta" ripens early, the fruits are red. There is no yellow-green spot near the stem. The variety is not susceptible to diseases such as Alternaria and Fusarium. On open ground you can collect about 9 kg/m2.

Another species that falls into the “Tomatoes” category. The best varieties for the Moscow region" - "alpha". It also bears fruit in about three months and can be grown without shoots (seedless method). The height of the bush is 40-50 cm. Since the tomatoes ripen quite early, there is no threat of late blight. Due to its excellent taste, the variety is recommended to be consumed fresh.

Description of tomato varieties with photos

Below we will briefly describe a number of other tomatoes. Thanks to the photo, you will be able to accurately distinguish these species from others. In addition, we describe tomato varieties, the reviews of which are impeccable.

Let's start with tomatoes, which ripen early.

The variety "Eugenia" (see photo below) is grown on outdoors. It is used for preservation and is also suitable for salads. Tolerates drought well. The bushes have small dark-colored leaves. The fruits are strong and have a smooth surface. "Evgenia" allows you to get a large amount of harvest even in unfavorable weather.

The Aurora F1 variety is also suitable for adding to salads and for preservation. It can also be grown outdoors. The sheets are medium in size. The weight of the fruit reaches 110 grams.
The “red sun” variety F1 is also grown both outdoors and in a greenhouse. The tomatoes are delicious, weighing approximately 120 grams.
Variety "Admiral" F1. Can be eaten fresh or canned. Great tasting. It is resistant to diseases. Fruit bright color, almost no ribs.
Variety "spring drops". Considered over-ripe. It tolerates cold well and produces a very reliable harvest.
Variety "dandy" F1. Can be considered a salad. Produces round and dense tomatoes weighing more than 100 grams. Tomatoes are very tasty. Resistant to diseases and bad weather.
Harmony variety. Gives a wonderful harvest. The bushes have medium leaves and not too much branching. The fruits are even red in color and taste good. The variety has a very high marketability.

Pink varieties

Many people prefer to eat pink tomatoes, as they have a special and unique taste. This :

"Demidov". Produces fruits up to 200 g. Stable fruiting. Very suitable variety for growing in open ground.
"Pink Raffaello" Produces round tomatoes weighing about one hundred and fifty grams. Has a special taste.
"Supermodel" It bears fruit with tomatoes with a smooth surface and rich color.

Growing without film

Now let’s give examples of varieties suitable only for open ground:

"Scarlet Mustang". Grow without film. Produces large, strong tomatoes.
"Carotene". It produces tomatoes that are orange in color, round, and have a very high carotene content.
"Laura". The variety is classified as mid-season. Can be used in salads or canned. Oval-shaped tomatoes with sweet flesh.
"Scheherazade" - looks like a peach. Produces red tomatoes with a characteristic edge. The fruits are cylindrical in shape and weigh up to 300 grams. The taste is specific, the acid is not noticeable. The bushes reach 1.8 meters in height. High disease resistance is observed.
Variety "stellate sturgeon". Height - up to 120 cm. The tomatoes are raspberry-colored and shaped like a heart. The fruits are very large - weighing up to one kilogram. The variety is very unpretentious; the first harvest is harvested together with early ripening tomatoes.

Tall tomatoes

Tall ones are also called indeterminate. Some of them have been described above. This type of tomato has a number of advantages over their low-growing counterparts. It’s not for nothing that breeders tried to breed just such powerful bushes.

The undoubted advantages include an increase in the number of fruiting clusters of the plant due to its vertical arrangement. Thanks to this, the yield can be sixteen kilograms per square meter!

In addition, the plant is illuminated evenly, and full access to air allows it to achieve high resistance to various diseases. It is also important that tall varieties ripen later than short ones - from about July until the first frost.

In addition, such tomatoes are much easier to care for. It is necessary to leave only one stem, breaking off all the sprouts around it. All varieties of tomatoes over a meter in height can be considered tall.

They also have a drawback - a garter. This action requires the installation of a rope or pegs on which the bush will rest. Under no circumstances should the trunk be allowed to lie on the ground.

Tomatoes that are not susceptible to disease

Which tomato varieties are resistant? These are early ripening plants, which due to high speed ripening simply does not have time to be exposed to the pathogenic late blight. The latter refers to a fungal disease that develops at temperatures below fifteen degrees Celsius with high humidity. Since spores are usually introduced from potatoes, tomatoes must be planted as far as possible from the specified crop.

There are many means of combating tomato diseases - both folk and scientific. But the best and most reliable is to grow early ripening varieties or at least combine them with late ones, which were discussed just above. Such diversity in the beds guarantees you a harvest, regardless of the vagaries of spring or summer weather.

It is important to understand that even the best outdoor tomato varieties can disappoint. Inadequate care, lack of standard prevention, irregular watering - all this leads to the fact that even the strongest and hardiest tomatoes get sick and wither.

When choosing a certain type of tomatoes, a summer resident must be puzzled by the question of where he will grow them - in a greenhouse or natural conditions, because different varieties of tomatoes are suitable for open ground and film greenhouses. Approaches to growing fruits in a greenhouse and open ground are very different.

Advantages of growing different varieties of tomatoes in open ground

The most productive variety of tomatoes intended for growing in a greenhouse will not produce high yields under natural conditions. And vice versa: tomatoes for open ground planted in a greenhouse will not give high yields and will not have as good a taste as they should have if all cultivation conditions are met.

When choosing tomato varieties, be sure to pay attention to whether they are intended for growing in open ground.

Characteristics of different varieties of tomatoes

The types of tomatoes are extremely diverse. Each of them has unique taste qualities and timing of fruit ripening. For example, an early-ripening tomato variety ripens very quickly, while the number of days from germination to fruiting is very small. Another species requires special care conditions, for example, requires pinching, etc.

Some fruits are more suitable for fresh consumption, while others are only good when canned.

The shape of tomato fruits also has a wide choice. Some of them have an unusual shape (for example, there is a type of tomato shaped like a banana, the fruits of which have a bright yellow color characteristic of this fruit). Such fruits are good for decorating a holiday table, because... will look very impressive.

IN general view Tomato varieties are classified according to the characteristics of their food use and are divided into 4 large groups:

Pickling fruits, the fruits of which are usually small, red in color, and have excellent taste;
Canned fruits, characterized by very small fruits and thin skin;
Salad dishes that do not have a uniform characteristic, because They can be red or yellow, large or small;
Saucy, with soft pulp, which contains a lot of liquid, and also contains large seeds.

Yield varieties of tomatoes, differing in bush shape

Plant bushes can be:

Shtambov;
Neshtambov;
In the form of potato tops.

Knowing these features, an experienced gardener can at least approximately determine the types of tomatoes visually.

The first type in the above list has low bushes and medium-sized castings.

Non-standard bushes have larger leaves, but their stems are very thin, so they require a garter. The advantages of tying tomatoes are:

To prevent the growth of excess shoots, which can subsequently interfere with the normal development of the plant and the ripening of fruits;
In maintaining stems tall plants, which, unable to withstand the weight of very large fruits, can break (stakes support the stem of the plants);
In preserving the integrity of the fruit, because, having fallen on the ground, tomatoes can be subject to rotting, insects, etc.

Thus, tomato garter - correct solution for those gardeners who strive to get the maximum yield from the bush.

Tomato bushes in the form of potato tops can be extremely difficult to distinguish from potato bushes themselves. Sometimes even experienced agronomists cannot do this.

Climatic conditions for growing productive tomato varieties

Any productive type of tomato has its own requirements for growing climatic conditions. What is good for one can be disastrous for another. Some varieties are suitable for growing in the southern regions, others - in the northern. Due to ignorance of this fact, unfortunate agronomists often receive a zero harvest.

However there is universal species, suitable for growing in different conditions, suitable for open ground and film greenhouses (as a rule, they all belong to early ripening varieties):

Bear Paw;
Mazarin;
Grandma's secret;
King of the Giants;
Bull's heart and many others.

The best tomato hybrids for open ground: early and mid-ripening

Gardeners who grow tomatoes in open ground for fresh consumption or canning are primarily interested in varieties and hybrids of tomatoes for open ground that ripen early. This is not surprising: every gardener wants to see the results of his labors as quickly as possible.

There are a lot of such types of tomatoes, but the best of them (no more than 10 types) have long been the subject of attention of experienced gardeners.

The fact is that not every variety is easy to grow. Many plants require pinching or other specific care conditions. If the plant is more than 30-40 cm high, it requires tying. Thus, most gardeners excluded a number of tomato varieties from their attention.

For open ground and film greenhouses you need to choose different types tomatoes, as we found out earlier. And which of them are super-yielding, we will tell you further.

So, these are the following varieties of tomatoes, very tasty and healthy:

Lemon liana (or its other name - wonder of the world);
Roma;
Anniversary Tarasenko (hybrid-35);
Anastasia;
Crimson giant, etc.

Let us consider in more detail the features of each of the listed types, remembering that they do not belong to the universal ones, i.e. are not suitable for open ground and film greenhouses, but are intended only for cultivation in natural environmental conditions.

The fruits of the raspberry giant variety of tomatoes are very large, even one of the largest. This is an early ripening variety. They are red in color and have a characteristic crimson tint. The weight of each fruit exceeds 500 grams and often reaches 700 grams. This species does not require pinching and other special conditions cultivation. The fruits are located on the branch of the plant in several pieces, they are very heavy, so it is often necessary to tie up the bushes. The plant is about a meter high. This is perhaps the only drawback in caring for the variety.

The fruits of the lemon vine, as the name of the variety suggests, have the shape and appearance of a lemon, although the weight of the fruit is inferior to the weight of a lemon and is no more than 100 grams. The fruit ovaries are numerous: on each branch there are 30-40 pieces.

The fruits of this tomato variety are often used in canning.

Housewives marinate them in their own juice, making a beautiful and tasty snack. This is also an early ripening variety of tomatoes, like the previous one described. Plant up to 70 cm high.

I would like to talk about Anastasia separately, because... This is a productive variety that produces a lot of fruit. This plant, about a meter high, also does not require pinching, like the previously mentioned tomato varieties. Medium-sized tomatoes, up to 7-8 on each bunch. The fruits are good raw; often after picking they are served immediately and are not used for canning. They are slightly elongated in appearance and are red in color. One bush gives Anastasia high yield(up to 12 kg of delicious tomatoes). The plant is no more than one meter high.

The Roma variety was bred in distant Holland, but has also taken root here in Russia. The fruits are plum-shaped, light in weight (up to 100 grams). Even though the weight of the tomatoes is not great, but on one cluster of the plant an average of 20 small tomatoes are tied.

If the Roma variety is not universal in terms of growing conditions, then its fruits can easily be classified as such. They are used by housewives in pickling and canning. Such tomatoes would also be appropriate in vegetable salads. Note that this is a productive variety that produces a large number of tomatoes per bush.

The anniversary variety Tarasenko is classified as a mid-season tomato, but this does not affect its popularity among gardeners. The fruits of this variety of tomatoes have the correct shape and average weight (up to 200-240 grams).

Growing tomatoes of this variety is not difficult, because... the plant is unpretentious. True, it does not have any special resistance to diseases, as experienced agronomists note. But this is not a problem, since various diseases in the plant occur infrequently. The plant is usually 70-80 cm high.

Thus, early varieties of tomatoes are suitable for cultivation in open ground, none of which require pinching, and all of them are unpretentious to external conditions. Usually these are low-growing varieties, because tall bushes need gartering, which can only be done in greenhouse conditions. However, some gardeners, preferring tall varieties of tomatoes, still grow them in open ground (for example, the pink honey variety). Of course, the yield is somewhat reduced.

What varieties of tomatoes are good for open ground in your opinion? What do you prefer to grow in your summer cottage?

This culture is loved by many summer residents. It is grown in greenhouses and in open ground. The agricultural technology of tomatoes does not cause any particular trouble, but you can make the growing process more comfortable and easier if you choose the appropriate varieties. These guaranteed successes include low-growing tomatoes. There are at least five reasons to choose low-growing varieties over tall ones. In order to correctly decide on the choice of variety, you need to understand some classification terms.

Table. Classification of tomatoes by height

Group	Description
	Tomatoes whose bushes do not grow higher than a meter.
	They do not grow above 80 cm.
	Also tomatoes, the bushes of which can grow up to more than a meter, but at some time, after reaching a certain limit, depending on the specific variety, they themselves stop growing.
	A determinate variety, the shape of the root system is compact, the trunk is thickened.
	They grow above two meters and are tall.

A “synonym” for short stature will be varieties whose seed packaging says “Determinant”, “Super-determinant”, “Standard”.

U determinate tomatoes There is a peculiarity - the rare formation of stepchildren. Plants, accordingly, weakly branch. Internodes are located at a short distance from each other. A maximum of six inflorescences are formed on the shoot, after which it stops growing, and the stem also stops growing. The plant begins to consume nutrients only for the ripening of the resulting fruits. This also contributes to the early ripeness of the crop. Therefore, determinate varieties, for the most part, are not only low-growing, but also distinguished by early ripening.

Super-determinate tomatoes are, accordingly, super-short growing. These varieties produce no more than three brushes on each shoot, after which growth ends. These tomatoes, since fewer fruits take less time to ripen, are also considered super early ripening.

Standard ones, due to the fact that they have an underdeveloped root system, do not grow tall in principle, bear fruit early, are subject to pinching late, and are productive.

Five reasons why you should prefer short varieties of tomatoes to tall ones

Indoor and dwarf species also belong to the low variety, but today we will look at the varieties that are traditionally grown in open ground, and the reasons why they are worth growing.

Reason one. Stunting

Agricultural technology does not require two-meter supports; tomatoes are easy to care for and easy to collect. Compact bushes do not need much usable area, in a small area you can grow a substantial harvest.

Reason two. Precocity

The short period that fruits need to fully ripen allows seedlings to be planted later and grown in a short time and in apartment conditions.

Reason three. Disease resistance

This property stems from precocity. In August, when tall tomatoes are just beginning to bear fruit, they are attacked by late blight, which they have to fight in the battle for the harvest. The early ripening of determinate and super-determinant varieties guarantees the harvest already in July, so late blight does not pose a threat to the fruits.

Reason four. Cold resistance

Tomatoes that are not afraid of the cold are not only grown in open ground, but can be sown directly into it. As a last resort, under temporary shelter until June in areas with a threat of frost.

By the way! With the seedless growing method, the seedlings do not outgrow, they do not need to be hardened off before planting, and the apartment window sill remains free to expand the garden assortment of crops grown by seedlings.

Reason five. Simplicity of agricultural technology

Low-growing species are the easiest of their related crops in terms of the number and labor intensity of agrotechnical activities. A large percentage grows without garter. Many do not need stepsoning. It is especially easy to care for standard varieties. They have a thickened trunk, which gives increased stability.

By the way! The main thing about low-growing tomatoes is their range. They come in large and small fruits, sugar, pear, yellow, plum, cocktail, pink, orange, dessert - you can choose any variety for decorative purposes.

Description of varieties

"Stolypin"

This determinate variety has several features. The first is very high cold resistance. The second is a yield of 9 kg per square meter, which is a high figure for plum-shaped fruits weighing 120 g. The height of the bush is 60 cm. Ripening time is about one hundred days.

"Boney MM"

This standard variety is ultra-early ripening - it ripens in just 80 days. The height of a thick-trunked bush is a maximum of half a meter. Fruit weight is up to 70 g. At the same time, the yield is two kilograms per bush.

"Highlight"

Tomato Zest

A pink-fruited determinant that ripens on the eightieth day. Fruit weight – 100 g. Bush height – no more than 50 cm. The variety is distinguished by its sugar content and unpretentiousness in cultivation, but that’s not all beneficial features"Highlights." It is perfectly preserved, transported, and remains fresh for a long time. The variety is also resistant to cold weather and insufficient lighting to a series of dangerous viruses.

"Grandma's Pride"

"Arctic"

The fruits are raspberry cherry. They are distinguished by their decorative appearance and weight of only 15 g. They ripen on a spreading bush 40 cm high. The ripening period is very short - 75 days. The variety does not require pinching and is different high density planting (it is quite possible to grow up to seven bushes on one square meter).

"Yamal"

This standard variety has an incredible yield - up to ten kilograms per square meter. This despite the fact that the height of the bush is only 35 cm. Super cold-resistant. Can be sown directly into the ground. Resistant to any weather conditions - heat, drought. Recommended for growing in risky farming areas.

"Betta"

Another representative of stocky trunks. This variety is taller than others - the bush grows up to half a meter. The average fruit size is 60 g. Two kilograms of fruit or more are collected from one plant. It can also be sown in the ground, protected with temporary shelter.

"Culinary"

Determinate hybrid, ripening in 3.5 months. On a meter-long bush, hundred-gram egg-shaped fruits are formed. It has a rich scarlet color of the fruit. It is considered a variety of universal use.

"Semko-Soyuz"

Large-fruited determinant for storage and fresh consumption. The fruits weigh 150 g. One hundred days of ripening and a height of 70 cm make it popular among salad varieties. Resistant to almost all groups of viruses that infect tomatoes.

"Pearl"

Ultra-early ripening decorative standard hybrid. There are varieties of red and yellow color. Summer residents love to grow them nearby - this increases the decorativeness of the garden. Ripens for three months. The height of the bush is only 30 cm. Twenty-gram tomatoes. The variety is resistant to lack of light.

The original-looking fruits resemble sweet peppers in shape, which makes this variety attractive and interesting to grow. The height of the standard bush of this hybrid is 60 cm. The ripening period is 90 days. The length of the fruit is 12-15 cm, and the weight of the first tomatoes reaches three hundred grams. The variety needs a good garter, since not a single standard trunk can withstand a harvest of 5 kg per bush.

Algorithm for successful cultivation

There are several things to consider to successfully grow determinate, superdeterminate, and standard tomatoes. Five steps will lead you to a bountiful harvest.

Step one - choosing the right variety

It must be selected not only according to the description of taste, color, yield and size of the fruit. It is important to take into account the characteristics of your area and climate and choose varieties that fully correspond to these characteristics. Best choice I will be regionalized species of local selection.

Step two - sowing and planting time

Sowing is carried out strictly 50-60 days before planting. Overgrowing determinate seedlings is fraught with poor yield and delayed harvest. That is, if a given variety has a three-month period before the harvest begins to germinate, the seeds should be sown at the end of March. After 50 days, plant the seedlings in the ground and harvest in mid-late June, giving space to other late-ripening crops in the beds.

Advice! If you have a greenhouse, several bushes can be planted in it two weeks earlier than in the ground. Thus, you will begin harvesting and consuming it earlier.

Step three - stepsoning

As for stepsons, there are indeed few of them in low-growing varieties, but if they are not removed, the plant may delay fruiting until August and become damaged by late blight.

Step four - garter

Often on packages with seeds of determinants and superdeterminants, and especially standard varieties, it is indicated that they do not need a garter. In reality, only 10% do not need it. For easy care, it is still better to tie them up. The fruits will then ripen faster, be better illuminated by the sun, will not become contaminated by watering or rain, and will not be damaged by insects crawling onto them from the ground.

Step five - proper feeding

Like tall varieties, low-growing ones need to be fed. But if you overfeed them with nitrogen, the vines will not stop growing and may outgrow the varietal norms. The strength of the plant will be spent on the development of lashes to the detriment of fruiting. Low-growing varieties Potassium-phosphorus fertilizers are needed throughout the growing season and only one nitrogen fertilizing is required during the period of fruit filling.

Growing short tomatoes that yield from the ground in June-July, do not require bulky supporting structures and have high yields is a pleasant and easy task. Choose a variety, follow simple rules and reap a bountiful harvest of your own successful tomatoes.
