The color of the leaves is dark green, the size is medium. Low foliage. The first fruit cluster appears above 8-9 leaves.

Unripe green tomatoes change their color to pink-yellow, the two colors harmoniously combine, decorating the tomatoes with bright stains. The harvest sizes are marked as large. Weight is 259 grams, but some specimens reach up to 0.5 kilograms and even 700 grams. Such characteristics can be achieved only if all the conditions of agricultural technology are met. The shape is ribbed, rounded and flattened. The type of inflorescence is simple.

The crop contains few puric acids, which is why it is recommended for dietary nutrition. Tomatoes are rich in beta-carotene. This component has a beneficial effect on the thyroid gland and immunity. If you cut a tomato in half, it resembles an exotic fruit. The pulp is colored the same color as the rind. The pink is concentrated in the center and the edges are yellow. There are many seed nests inside.

Sugar taste was awarded with high gastronomic qualities. The pulp is very juicy. When eaten fresh, a pleasant sourness is noticeable. The rind is thin and invisible when eaten.

From the moment of emergence of seedlings to the collection of the first ripe tomatoes, it takes about 109 days. Ripening dates are considered mid-season.

The Riddle of Nature variety boasts a high yield. From 5 to 7 fruits grow on one brush at the same time. Throughout the season, 7 to 12 tomatoes are harvested from one bush. On average, up to 16.5 kilograms of tasty and healthy vegetables can be obtained from a square meter of a plantation. Ripening is extended, so the crop can be harvested for a long time before the arrival of frost.

You need to pick tomatoes as they ripen; it is not recommended to leave them on the branches. It is recommended to use a pruner or a sharp knife for harvesting, as this variety has strong stalks. The harvested crop cannot be stored for a long time.

The timing of planting seed for seedlings and planting young plants in the ground depends on weather conditions. Transplanting seedlings to a permanent place should be carried out when their age is 55-60 days. Experienced gardeners believe that the optimal time frame will be from late February to mid-March. The seeds will have time to germinate and get strong enough.

Step-by-step scheme of work when landing.

• A container prepared in advance is filled with a substrate. The surface of the soil is moistened and leveled.

• The seed is spread out at a distance of 2 centimeters from each other.

• The grains are sprinkled with a layer of earth 0.5 centimeters.

• The seed is moistened with a spray bottle.

• After planting, the containers are covered with foil or transparent glass. They are transferred to a dark place with a high temperature. The optimal mode is 23-25 ​​degrees Celsius.

• Seeds of the Riddles of Nature variety germinate very quickly. 4-6 days are enough for them.

• After the formation of friendly shoots, the container with the seed is placed on the window. The temperature must be reduced to 18 degrees. Such conditions will prevent the seedlings from pulling out, and will also stimulate the development of the root system.

• A pick on individual containers is carried out after the formation of two true leaves.

Up to three bushes can be placed on one square meter of territory.

Despite the fact that this variety is resistant to adverse weather conditions, it is recommended to grow vegetables in shelters in the middle zone and in the north. As the bushes grow, they must be tied to stakes or trellises. It is imperative that pinching is carried out so that the bushes do not waste energy on the formation of unnecessary lateral processes. Brushes with a lot of fruit are also tied.

The minimum air temperature required for transplanting seedlings to a new place should be 15 degrees Celsius at any time of the day. When cultivating the variety in greenhouse conditions, work is carried out in early May, and seedlings are transplanted into open ground in early June.

During planting, the bushes are buried to the first leaves. This placement allows for the development of a large and healthy root system. A support is placed next to each plant, to which the plant is tied.

Water the plants as the top layer of the soil dries up. It is imperative that the top layer is loosened so that a dry crust does not appear on the surface. The bushes are irrigated with settled warm water (temperature 18 degrees). During watering, the soil should be soaked 20 centimeters deep.

The vegetable culture is fertilized once every 10 days. In the process of active growth, gardeners use organic matter. As soon as the bushes begin to bloom and form a crop, it is worth switching to mineral fertilizing. Wood ash, potassium sulphide or superphosphate are perfect.

When growing this variety, the formation of a plant is mandatory. Optimal shaping is 1-2 stems. The rest of the side shoots must be removed.

When growing vegetables in greenhouses, certain requirements must be met. It is necessary to control the moisture level so that the fruits do not lose their attractiveness. The room is regularly ventilated to prevent moisture stagnation. To keep the soil moist for as long as possible, cover the soil around the bushes with a layer of organic mulch. Use humus or peat. These components not only maintain the desired level of moisture, but also nourish the soil with useful trace elements.

Plants with late blight can be identified by brown traces. To protect the plantation, the bushes are sprayed with compounds with copper. The crop can suffer from rot. Green tomatoes become stained, losing their marketable appearance and high taste. As a prophylaxis, top dressing with potassium is used. Moderate watering and regular feeding will also help.

Colored spots on the leaves and tomatoes indicate a mosaic. This ailment cannot be cured, so the affected bushes need to be removed from the site as soon as possible and burned. Excessive watering will cause the tomatoes to crack. It is important to maintain optimal moisture levels.

Symptoms of mildew are gray and brown spots. Plants are sprayed with special antibacterial compounds and preparations with copper oxychloride.
