The best varieties of tomatoes for open ground.
Tomatoes of the Siberian series for open ground (low - up to 80 cm, but large-fruited): Siberian Trump, Uvalen, Lyuban. In addition to them, new, very early ripening tomatoes “Buyan”, “Leader of the Redskins”, “Flash”, “Pink Souvenir”, “Blush of Petersburg”, “Sunny Bunny”, “Nimble” are suitable for open ground.
Ultra-early tomatoes. Of greatest interest are ultra-early varieties and hybrids, because even in cold and short summers they can be grown without seedlings. But for this, it is necessary to sow in the very first days of May under good shelter, immediately in place, always on insulated soil (for example, on a 10-12-cm layer of fluff and feathers from an old pillow under the soil to a depth of 15-20 cm). Typically, these tomatoes are just recommended for open ground. As a rule, their fruits do not exceed 100-150 g, and the height of the plants is about 50 cm. These tomatoes usually do not stepchild. Of the varieties (you can take your own seeds), these are Flash, Buyan, Pink Souvenir, Sunny Bunny and Duckling. Of the hybrids (you can’t use your own seeds, because often they are underdeveloped and do not pass on their properties to offspring, and therefore no one knows what will grow from such seeds) you can call tomatoes “Leader of the Redskins”, “Katya”, “Ninulya”, “Rumyanets Petersburg”, “Nimble”, “Solerosso”, which ripen in the open ground even near St. Petersburg. There are also large-fruited super-early hybrids "Bringing good luck" and "Gayas Bekseev", which give fruits weighing about 200 g or more. Of course, all these tomatoes grow well in greenhouses.
Note. In the North-West, it is better not to plant tomatoes in open ground. They should be kept under cover (preferably not under a film, but under double lutrasil or spunbond). In practice, they never fully ripen, and very often a beautiful green fruit, when cut inside, turns out to be affected by phytophthora.
Small-fruited tall tomatoes for high greenhouses. Of the early ripe varieties "Bon Appetita" has small red fruits weighing about 100 g, but there are up to 100 pieces, and most importantly, the fruits are tied in any weather. "Red Caramel" and "Yellow Caramel" are plum-shaped, small-fruited (only about 40 g), but very plentiful, sweet and decorative hybrids of a long fruiting period.
Large-fruited tall tomatoes for high greenhouses. Hybrid "Semko" - disease-resistant, early ripening, with fleshy sweet red fruits of 200-400 g each, as well as "Semko 18", F1 hybrids ("Important person" - large red, "Juggler" - red). The company "Sedek" put on sale varieties of the Siberian series "Velmozha" (pink large-fruited), "Raspberry Meat" (large), as well as its own varieties "Pink Tsar" (tall, salad destination, with fruits up to 300 g of raspberry color) , "Raspberry delicacy" (tall, with dense dark pink fruits up to 300 g).
Poisk has released Sherry Lady (Dutch early hybrid with even, dense, bright red round fruits 200 g), Ikarus (salad variety, tall, with large red fruits 300 g), Kozyr (with red fruits up to 200 g), "Rose-Marin" (tall variety with large pink fruits 550 g).
"Semko-Junior" pleased us with the hybrids "Diorange" (stress-resistant, early, up to 180 g) and "Malika", as well as the "Townsville" variety - an early ripening Dutch hybrid up to 150 cm tall, with round fleshy red fruits 150-180 G.
Firm "Gavrish": "Poznan" (early ripening variety, tall, racemose, orange), "Dobrun" (high variety, storable, with fruits up to 150 g).
Of last year's novelties, we can recommend the Tyutchev tomato (red fruits weighing 400-500 g). From mid-ripening tomatoes, a group of hybrids "Faith, Hope, Love" can be distinguished with red fruits weighing about 230 g; they have a long shelf life. Two hybrids - Zhenaros and Belle - give red fruits weighing more than 300 g. They are interesting because they can set fruits at high temperatures (as you know, tomato pollen is usually sterilized at temperatures above 35-40 ° C, and in summer in greenhouses without forced ventilation, the temperature, as a rule, reaches 40-42 ° C).
The Caliber hybrid has red fruits weighing about 200 g for salad purposes, the Flint hybrid is characterized by abundant fruiting, and the Poet hybrid is resistant to temperature fluctuations and sets fruits in any weather (the pulp is fleshy, tasty, fruits can reach a weight of 600-650 G). The Sancho Panza hybrid has fleshy, slightly flattened, tasty yellow fruits and a long fruiting period.
Hybrid "Chance" gives pink fleshy fruits weighing about 300 g, bears fruit for a long time and abundantly. Excellent varieties have the same characteristics (you can take seeds from your own fruits) from the Siberian Seeds series. These are "Stellate Sturgeon" with salmon-pink fruits in the form of a fungus, "Golden Domes" with yellow domed fruits, "Bear's Paw" with red fleshy fruits, "Sugar Buffalo", "Three Fat Men" and many others of this same series. In Siberia, their fruits reach 800-1200 g, in the North-West - only 350-450 g. They are distinguished by good taste, long and abundant fruiting.
For lovers of large tomatoes, you can still recommend varieties"Raspberry Surprise" with fruits up to 700 g, "King Giant" and "Eternal Call" with red fruits weighing up to 1000 g, as well as "Pink Honey", whose pink fruits in Siberia can reach 1500 g!

The abundance of offers from seed sellers poses a difficult task for gardeners, which are the best varieties of tomatoes for 2020 to prepare for seedlings. It is important to clearly define where and when the seedlings will be planted, because there are species exclusively for open soil, and there are tomatoes, the fertility of which is determined by the greenhouse content.
Varieties for greenhouses
Seeds should be selected according to the criteria:
- productivity and fertility;
- resistance to frost and damage by viruses and bacteria;
- taste;

- climate and soil type.
It is not easy to choose the best tomatoes for a greenhouse, and here each gardener relies on his own knowledge and experience, as well as on the recommendations of well-known collectors, for example, Valentina Redko and Vladimir Popenko, when buying seeds. Many prefer indents, which are characterized by constant growth and the presence of fruits until cold weather. Often, these are early maturing hybrids that are not susceptible to pests that grow both under film and in greenhouses made of glass and plastic.
Most indents are tall, which is convenient in a small area. They ripen early, do not take up much space, despite the large number of inflorescences, bear fruit all season.
Among the successful varieties gardeners distinguish:
- Evpator F1 - a rounded tomato of rich red color, weighing up to 160 g, with a pleasant taste;

Growing tomatoes with large fruits requires a careful approach, especially to the formation of a bush. They differ in later ripening, but they give a good harvest and bear fruit until the autumn cold. The so-called "beef tomatoes" are not used in canning, their sugary pulp and extraordinary taste fit perfectly into many salads and independent dishes.
