Growing and care
Amber bovine heart is grown in seedlings. The tomato loves fertile, breathable soil, good illumination, protection from cold and wind. The indeterminacy of the variety obliges the gardener to take care of the presence of a support or trellis, the bush needs to be formed into 1 stem and pinned. The rest of the care is classic - watering, weeding, loosening and mulching, hilling, timely introduction of nutrients. The first feeding is carried out 10 days after planting in the greenhouse, at which time the tomato is actively increasing its vegetative mass and needs nitrogen. The second time, potassium-phosphorus preparations are introduced during the budding period. Throughout the season, tomatoes can be fed with organic matter - nettle infusions with the addition of bread leftovers, a solution of fresh mullein with the obligatory subsequent dilution of 1: 10. After the formation of a brush, the foliage under it should be removed - this will save the plant from unnecessary waste of nutrients, and will also provide the necessary ventilation ...
A plant needs different micronutrients at each stage of growth. All fertilizers can be divided into two groups: mineral and organic. Folk remedies are often used: iodine, yeast, bird droppings, eggshells.
It is important to observe the rate and period of feeding. This also applies to folk remedies and organic fertilizers.
