Podsneschnik (Schneeglöckchen)

Season Overview

Description

Robust bush tomato from Russia with a height of approx. 80-120 cm. The medium-sized, bright red fruits weigh 110 to 200 g and are not quite uniform in shape, ranging from flat-round to high round. Fleshy, sweet and richly bearing. Recommended variety, which we always sow very early together with two to three other varieties for an early start to the harvest. Recommended for cultivation protected from rain. Particularly suitable for regions with a difficult climate (north). The variety matures early, harvest begins 80-90 days after germination.

Growing tips

Pre-grow indoors from the end of February to mid-March. Ideal germination temperature 22° - 25°. After germination, place in a sunny and very bright window in a cooler place. The less light is available, the cooler the young plants must be kept to avoid overgrowth. Plant out after the last frosts from mid-May. Tomatoes are heavy feeders and require a nutrient-rich potting soil, but over-fertilization with nitrogen should be avoided. Due to their determinate growth, vine tomatoes do not need to be thinned out. They should nevertheless be given a support to bear the weight of the fruit.
