general information

Contrary to popular belief, a tomato is essentially a berry. Its appearance in the Russian Empire fell on the time of Catherine II. At first, the bushes were only used in greenhouses for beauty. Tomatoes gained popularity and recognition only in the next century. This delay was caused by the fact that the pets that ate the greens of the new plant became ill and sometimes died. Even pests avoided tomatoes. Therefore, the fruits were not credible.

Growing tomatoes

The fact that tomatoes are edible was discovered quite by accident. An Indian in America fled from the Europeans pursuing him. He did not want to be taken prisoner. Realizing that the chase could not escape, the Indian decided to die. To do this, he chose the surest way: to gorge on tomatoes. In front of the amazed hunters, he ate all the fruits from the "poisonous" bush and waited for death. To the surprise of everyone present, nothing happened to him, and he was captured. After that, the Europeans themselves appreciated the taste properties of ripe tomatoes. Much later it turned out that the tomatoes themselves are poisonous only in their green form, but the foliage and tops are always.

Note!The green part of the plant is poisonous "thanks to" glycoalkaloids. In ripe fruits, toxic substances disintegrate. In addition, when green fruits are preserved, toxic substances also go away.

At first, in our country, this culture grew exclusively in greenhouses - a northern country and the tomatoes did not have time to ripen. To date, varieties for planting in open ground have already been bred, especially in the southern regions.

When choosing a variety of tomatoes for open planting, it is necessary to take into account the properties of the soil in which it is planned to get a bountiful harvest. When going over acidity, add ash. Do not forget about fertilizers.

Planting tomatoes is possible after the seedlings reach 15-17cm. Each plant should have its own hole. The distance between them should be at least 40 cm. In the process of growth, the stems must be tied up. Water - at the base of the stem. The ground must be constantly moist. Otherwise, the leaves will begin to wilt and fall off.
