In this article I will tell you about 11 varieties of tomatoes that I have grown outdoors this year. I will say right away that most of them made me happy. The tomato varieties I tested are early ripening tomatoes. I provide information on each of the 11 varieties below.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "Sanka"
Tomato Sanka Is an ultra-early popular variety. Ripening occurs already 60-80 days after planting. Yields a harvest in a group of fruits at once. Outwardly, tomatoes are small in size, red in color, weighing 90-100 g. The taste does not differ from the taste of tomatoes. Harvest from one bush from three kg. The height of the bush is 45-55 cm. Garter and pinching are not needed. In addition, "Sanka" is resistant to temperature changes, insufficient illumination, and uneven soil moisture. Seeds are harvested from it, as this is a variety.
My 5-year experience of growing Sanka is extremely positive. Seedlings are medium in size, non-capricious, do not stretch, grown on a window on the south side. When transplanted to a permanent place, the seedlings take root without problems. Early flowering - in early June, bushes in green fruits. Productivity: in mid-August, I removed 35 tomatoes from a bush (3 kg), plus there were still green ones left to hang. At the end of October, 52 tomatoes that had ripened to the end were removed from the experimental bush! Another good fact: the variety did not get sick during the season. He's better at the bottom than at the top.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "White cherry"
I bought the seeds a long time ago from a collector. This variety is my favorite, although it is generally not suitable for salads or for processing. It will definitely stay in my garden, because the taste is completely different, different from tomatoes - its sweet-spicy notes cannot be compared with anything. The second reason is that the variety reproduces on its own. Every year he generously sprouts in a carpet meadow, and all that needs to be done is to leave some bushes again in order to catch the wave of pleasure from these small yellow berries in the future.
The variety does not get sick. He doesn't need a garter or pinning. The growth of the bush is up to 59 cm, the bushes themselves are fluffy, they can stand until frost.
Each brush contains 5-6 fruits weighing 3 g. Ripens later. When harvesting, it is better to carefully cut the fruits with scissors so as not to harm the skin. By the way, I made jam and sauces from tomatoes - not for everybody.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "Geranium Kiss"
This variety has unusually generous brushes - as many as 60 fruits are tied in them! This variety ripens early. It has strong immunity to many diseases. But at first I even wanted to throw it away, because I could not understand what it was at all - an incomprehensible flower appeared in front of me! It turned out that in this variety, the leaf looks like a potato one. Also for a long time I could not understand why the plants are purple, I thought that it was due to the insufficient amount of phosphorus. But it turned out so tomato variety reacts to temperature fluctuations.
Seedlings are elongated, fragile, but this did not affect the growth of plants in any way. There are many flowers on the brush, the tomatoes are tied, and the tassels continue to grow. It's so strange to see.
Before the start of the hot days, each brush imposed almost 30 fruits. 50-60 tomatoes would have been imposed, if not for the heat.Long stems had to be tied up, as they are spreading, but pinching was not required.
At the end of July, sharp-nosed tomatoes weighing 30 g arrived in time. The first crop was harvested on August 7. By the way, yellow shoulders are formed at the tails - this is how the variety reacts to an increase in temperature, this does not affect the taste.
The disadvantage of this type of tomato is leaf disease with Alternaria.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "Carbon"
It ripens not early or late, 1 m high, not afraid of phytophthora. The seedlings are powerful. The first tassel appeared early: the fruits are round, even. Then something incomprehensible happened: some tomatoes, while ripening, remained round and red in color, while others became flattened, and their mood color became black. But it turned out that everything was as it should be - those fruits that hung longer were getting dark. The fruits came out by weight 220-245 g. In rainy weather, the taste of the tomatoes was watery, but in general the fruits were sweet, as if sugar had been put in them.
“Carbon” ripened for a long time. After hot days, it began to bloom again, and the second wave of the harvest rushed. At the end of summer, medium-sized tomatoes ripened. From a bush, 10-13 fruits were obtained.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "Black Crimean"
Early and mid-season in terms of timing. Flat-rounded, weighing 500 g. When fully ripe, they become almost black in color. Doesn't get sick. Indeterminate. It blooms with both simple flowers and fused ones. The first fruit was taken 81 days after germination. And after 14 days they reaped the harvest. From an experimental bush (grown without pinching), I removed 17 fruits (almost 5 kg). But I would not plant it again, because: the fruits cracked - this is one, green shoulders are two, a watery taste is three. At the beginning of the period, late blight was found on one tomato, the fruit was immediately removed. In the future, the bushes remained healthy.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "Black Heart of Delirium"
Heart-shaped, medium ripening, unpretentious variety. Maroon, almost black. He doesn't care about temperature changes. Harvest - 6-21 kg per bush. The weight of individual fruits is 1 kg. The seedlings are tall, but with a peculiarity - drooping leaf. It grows in height indefinitely - we take this fact into account when planting, the plant needs a lot of space, plus a passage for pinching is needed. Flowering occurred late, fruits set from one or two per cluster, ripening later. The first tomato shot at the end of summer was rotten. The weight of the tomatoes is 410 g. 10 fruits came out of the bush. Taste - balanced tomato.
Description of the variety of tomatoes "Heart of Tibet"
Characteristics like the "Black Heart of Delirium". Fruits are rather big, red, weighing up to 500 g, sweetish. Do not crack. My experience: harvest - 2 fruits, one weighing 240 g, the other 249 g; unsweetened. Possesses strong immunity to diseases.
Variety "Striped hollow"
Medium ripening. Gives a gorgeous harvest. Red in color with golden stripes, almost hollow fruit weighing 149 g, similar in shape to a sweet cuboid pepper. The best results are obtained with a bush in two stems.
The variety amazed me. The firstborn turned out to be angular, dark green. Then red and yellow specks appeared on the fruits. Also, the variety is dependent on the sun. The richest bush for the harvest was planted in the sun and gave 48 fruits. The plant grew almost two meters high. Ripe by the end of summer. If you plant it for stuffing, then you need to plant more than 5 bushes. Taste - sweetish, balanced tomato.
Variety "Green Chile"
Medium term, 2 m high. Green fruits with hints of fruit. Produces fruit in any weather. Weight - 90-120 g.
My experience: This is my favorite because the fruit is sweet. It retains its sweet taste even when ripening in the room. One drawback - it is not clear when to shoot the guys, because they are green with a white side.
Variety "Blue Spruce"
Mid to early maturing. Decorative variety. Red elliptical tomatoes have a tomato flavor. What pleased me: a blue bush, even fruits. And that's all. It turned out to be a mid-late variety. The brush requires a garter, as it is heavy. The mass of a tomato is 110 g.Harvest - 8 fruits per bush. More suitable for sale.
Variety "Cherry Falls"
The ampelous form of the plant. Early maturing and high-yielding. Productivity - about 1000 small fruits weighing 20 g.
My experience: the plant is not ampelous. The fruits appeared all together. Nothing supernatural happened.
In general, here is my list for the next year: "Sanka", "White cherry", "Geranium Kiss", "Carbon", "Green Chile", "Black Heart of Delirium".
