Planting tomatoes in a greenhouse

Tomatoes are a classic greenhouse plant. Of course, they can grow in open ground, but the yield will then be significantly lower. Planting tomatoes in a greenhouse should be done only when the earth has warmed up sufficiently and the threat of night frosts has passed. Choose a warm but cloudy day for planting, so the plant will hurt less and take root faster. If the seedlings have not overgrown much, try to do not bury since in this case, the active formation of new roots will first occur, and the tops will not grow and develop.

Planting tomatoes in a greenhouse is done in almost the same way as in open ground. Should be prepared first holes or furrows, where you can pour humus, ash or complex mineral fertilizers. Do not fill them with fresh manure, chicken manure, urea or nitrogen fertilizers. Manure will simply burn the roots of the plant, and excess nitrogen will give you beautiful tops instead of tomatoes. The holes need to be well watered, and then the seedlings should be placed on them, tear off all the leaves that appear below and at ground level, cover with soil and water thoroughly again.

Don't be too lazy to cut off the all sick and yellow leaves, they are usually located at the bottom of the plant. They are a gateway for infections that spread very quickly in greenhouse conditions. Tomatoes should be watered sparingly before flowering. After a couple of days, the plants are tied up in a vertical position. Do not allow the air in the greenhouse to heat above 30 degrees.At this temperature, tomato pollen becomes sterile and fruits do not set. Regularly ventilate greenhouse
