February - the right time to select and purchase tomato seeds, which we will sow in March. I have been growing tomatoes in a greenhouse and in open ground for only 6 years, but I have already managed to create my own hit parade of tomato varieties.

The best varieties of tomatoes

There are varieties must have, which I always plant every year. I like them not only for their taste and unpretentiousness, but also for the way they look on the bush. I’ll paraphrase one bearded joke: “I don’t really like tomatoes... But the process itself...”. I love going into the greenhouse and admiring the tomato plantations. And I don’t hesitate to show off especially spectacular ones to my neighbors, and then post photos on the forum. It’s a shame to hide it - we all love it!

The following varieties are among the favorites also because they do not need to be fanatically cultivated and shaped. And they will always produce a harvest: small, large, and a lot, depending on the variety and what I grow them for - for salads, for preparations, or, the smallest and sweetest ones, so that “like seeds, they click.” .

Variety "Rocket" Suitable for both open ground. The fruits are identical in shape and sweet. We love to eat them by the handful. Look good in blanks. The bush requires garter, despite the fact that the package says the opposite. This is because a lot of fruits grow, and the bush bends from the weight. Its height in open ground is about 40 cm, and can reach up to 60 cm. This is a mid-season variety; it does not need to be pinched.

Rice. 1. “Rocket” matures smoothly and is well stored in both technical and biological maturity.

Variety "Big Man" I got it from a neighbor. During a tour of her greenhouse, I really liked the way it looked on the bush. The neighbor said that she has been planting it for a long time, that it is unpretentious and always sets fruit, even if the ventilation regime in the greenhouse is not followed. Of course, I took one fruit for seeding. “Zdorovyak” can grow up to 100 cm in height, so it is better to grow it in a greenhouse, although it produces large tomatoes in open ground.

Rice. 2. There is almost no need to pin the “Big Man” wrist.

Rice. 3. It ripens in batches, gradually, which is very convenient.

Among the vigorous-growing tomatoes with large fruits, I highlighted variety "Red Giant". This amateur variety was bred by simple gardeners. Despite the fact that it grows a lot of leaves, it does not have to be pruned too often. The fruits on the lower tiers are the largest. If I had not been lazy and plucked out the inflorescences, leaving no more than 3-4 in the brush, the fruits would have been even larger. It is fleshy inside and contains few seeds.

Rice. 4. “Red Giant” in mid-July.

Rice. 5. You can take your own seeds, but the fruit must ripen on the bush and come from the second cluster from the bottom.

Rice. 6. The fruits are slightly ribbed, quite transportable, there is never a yellow-pink top from unbalanced care, as in pink-fruited varieties.

Rice. 7. Both from the side of the stalk and from reverse side always have a marketable appearance.

Rice. 8. The only drawback of the “Red Giant” is that the largest fruits require a garter.

However, almost all large-fruited tomatoes require additional tying of the brushes. Except my next favorite, "Bull's Heart". I also always grow it year after year, as my grandmother advised me. “He will never let you down!” - she said, and every year I am convinced of this. Even if I took my own seeds and not factory ones, “ Bull's heart" invariably bears fruit and does not require pinching at all, although it is vigorous. Somehow I didn’t have enough space in the greenhouse, and one bush of “Bull’s Heart” grew outside without shelter. It grew to 1 m instead of 140-150 cm in the greenhouse, but still pleased me.

Rice. 9. The hands grow in such a way that they do not need to be additionally secured with a garter to prevent them from falling.

Rice. 10. There is one peculiarity of the “Bull’s Heart” - a predisposition to the formation of such gnarled fruits.

Therefore, if you see a bud or flower that is too large, feel free to cut it with scissors, it will still take a long time to ripen, even though it will be large, the skin will be hard and gray, you cannot take seeds from it.

Rice. 11. But the bulk of the “Bull’s Heart” fruits are very beautiful, tasty and fleshy. By the way, this variety comes in both orange and red.

Tall tomatoes for the greenhouse

I definitely plant the listed varieties, but there are also some that I just liked, and I periodically grow them in the greenhouse, but I have not become a fan of them. Of the indeterminates, I like the raceme varieties the most. Again, this is primarily because they look beautiful on the bush. There are only three varieties, and each has a special reason to grow it.

"Intuition F1"- a mid-season hybrid, but I would classify it as late-ripening. Not only does it reach harvest ripeness only by mid-August, but biological maturity also comes quite late. Some specimens of these tomatoes ripen even until the end of October. But, on the other hand, this is convenient because as a result, we have our own houses for a very long time fresh tomatoes. That's why I sow it in February.

Rice. 12. Photo from the end of July, but the fruits have not yet begun to ripen.

But "Intuition F1" very lightweight. This hybrid is great for freezing for future use. In winter, I make pizza and frittata with them, as they do not defrost like porridge, but retain their meatiness well when sliced.

Rice. 13. The fruits are all smooth and beautiful.

Rice. 14. In this form, I send “Intuition F1” to deep freeze.

"Scarlet Candles"- carpal variety, mid-season. They don’t have a special taste, but what a shape! Looks impressive in preparations with cucumbers. However, this is why I grow them. It’s nice to admire such a jar later in the winter.

Rice. 15. The length of “Scarlet Candles” is almost like pickling cucumbers.

Rice. 16. “Scarlet candles” look neat, they all have a characteristic “spout”.

"De barao" Quite late-ripening, I sow it earlier than the bulk of the tomatoes. I really like it in preparations, it does not crack and is very tasty, both fresh and pickled.

Rice. 17. "De Barao" is resistant to disease. I always plant it on the north side, tying it above the entrance to the greenhouse, because it is very tall, and the upper tier ripens even in the last ten days of August, despite the first cold nights.

Rice. 18. The fruits are beautiful, all as one.

I have tried a great variety of salad varieties, I still want to find the most delicious one. Of the tomatoes with unusual colors, I really like the taste " Malachite box" And "Black Prince". Both are tall and require pinching, gartering, and formation into 1-2 stems, but the effort is worth it, the fruits are magnificent. "Black Prince" - dark burgundy at full ripeness.

Rice. 19. “Malachite box” in biological maturity - green.

Rice. 20. All these “Malachite Box” tomatoes are already ripe, although they seem unripe in appearance.

Yellow giants are not inferior in taste, of them the most fleshy and tasty for me are "Truffle yellow" - unusual shape, "Persimmon"- indeed, the cut flesh is like the fruit of the same name, "Golden King" and sweet as a melon "Golden Bull". Less impressed "Heart of Gold" And "Altai yellow".
But it should be noted that the shelf life of yellow tomatoes is inferior to red ones. From salad reds I grew "King of the Large", "Cardinal", "Canary", "Bear's Paw", "Mazarin", "Altai Red". What can I say about them - they are all equal, as if by selection. It tires them to constantly tug and tie them up. One good thing is that they are large.

Rice. 21. Everyone looks the same on the bush. This is Cardinal.

Rice. 22. “Cardinal” is well kept.

Rice. 23. "Canaries".

Rice. 24. In the foreground is “Mazarin”. It differs only in shape, in taste - like all other red-fruited ones.

Rice. 25. “Altai Reds”, however, can be praised for their friendly maturation.

I would especially like to mention pink-fruited tomatoes "Miracle of the Earth." If you are lucky with the summer and it is not very hot, then you can get a good harvest from this variety.

Rice. 26. “Miracle of the Earth” are also tall.

But, if there is not very good ventilation in the greenhouse, then this variety will give a characteristic light yellow border, I don’t like it, and I cut it off before use.

Rice. 27. “Miracle of the Earth” - on the right. They are the same size as the Red Giant on the left.

Separately, it should be said about tall cherry tomatoes, for example, “Chio-chio-san”, “Sweet Cherry F1” and others. Yes, many of them are sweet, they look elegant both in the greenhouse and in pickles, but many of them are thrown away and require careful care. No matter how much I refuse to plant them, I still “break down”, I really want to admire the brushes.

Rice. 28. “Red date” is, of course, delicious.

Rice. 29. “Goldilocks” also tastes good if you resist and don’t eat it half-ripe - and it can be eaten even half-ripe.

Tomatoes for open ground

Among the tomatoes for growing outside, I liked only five. Although all tomatoes for open ground can be grown in a greenhouse, if there is space. It is simply more efficient to occupy a greenhouse not only in width, but also in height, so it is customary to place low varieties outside, under temporary shelter or without it at all.

Hybrid "King of the Market III F1" No wonder it got its name. I grow it under cover and without, depending on how much space remains in the greenhouse after the main plantings. It is considered early ripening, although I would not say so. I plant it with pleasure, because in any summer - both cloudy and hot - it produces a stable harvest. Most likely, this is because it is resistant to various diseases. In a greenhouse it grows slightly higher than in open ground. A garter is needed because the fruits, especially the lower ones, are very large.

Rice. 30. “Market King III F1” produces aligned fruits (in the red basket).

Rice. 31. “Apple tree of Russia” on a bush.

Rice. 32. “Apple Tree of Russia” stores well, including when frozen.

Rice. 33. “Buyan” is a long-known trouble-free variety for open ground.

Rice. 34. “Buyan” is good for pickling.

Rice. 35. I bought “Leningrad Chill” in economical packaging - 200 seeds in one. It lived up to its name, did not freeze during frosts, and grew well both in the greenhouse and outdoors.

Rice. 36. But the yellow-fruited variety “Wonder of the World” turned out to be the most cold-resistant for open ground. It sets an incredible amount of fruit.

I also tried from the low ones “Kremlin F1”, “Peach”, “Orange Sun”, “Darling”, “Tiger”, “Sanka”. Despite the hype, these varieties disappointed me.

And finally, dwarfs. These tomatoes are suitable for even the laziest or busiest gardeners. They do not require gartering, watering and, especially, pinching.

Rice. 37. Dwarfs only need to be mulched in mid-June and come to harvest in early August.

This article describes the best varieties of tomatoes for 2019, suitable for growing in different regions countries. Since many people prefer to grow tomatoes with my own hands, such information will be very useful, given all the diversity existing varieties. In addition, new types of tomatoes appear on the market every year, and it is quite difficult to keep track of all the new products.

Variety of tomato varieties

All tomatoes are divided into two main types. These are varietal tomatoes and hybrids. It is quite easy to distinguish them, since the name of the hybrid plant necessarily contains the designation F1. Hybrids are artificially bred and differ in that the seeds of such tomatoes do not retain hereditary characteristics.

The following characteristic, which is indicated by the manufacturer seed material, is the method of cultivation. You can cultivate tomatoes without shelter or in greenhouses. This information must be present on any package of seeds.

Another parameter that distinguishes various varieties tomatoes from each other is the ripening period. This is the time it takes a plant from the moment it is planted until its fruits reach ripeness. According to the ripening period, tomatoes are divided into the following:

ultra-early (less than 80 days);
early ripening (80–85);
mid-early (85–95);
mid-season (95–105);
mid-late (110–120);
late (over 120 days).

This classification is very arbitrary, since it does not take into account the characteristics of the growing region. The same tomatoes in different climatic conditions can ripen with significant differences in timing.

Tomatoes also differ in height, or degree of growth. There are several main types:

indeterminate;
semi-determinate;
determinant;
superdeterminant;
standard.

The shortest are standard tomatoes; their height may not exceed half a meter. Indeterminate tomatoes are not limited in growth and can reach a length of 2–3 m. In addition, tomatoes are distinguished by color (red, pink, yellow), fruit size and culinary purpose.

The choice of tomatoes for the upcoming planting in 2019 must be approached in detail. This article contains photos and descriptions of the best varieties of tomatoes, however, when choosing, it is necessary to take into account not only the quality of the seed material, but also the characteristics of the growing region, climate, soil composition and other factors. The method of cultivation is also important: it will be a greenhouse or open ground. For example, in areas with cool climates for growing on open beds It is worth choosing early-ripening standard tomatoes. In areas with more favorable conditions Later tomatoes can also be planted.

When choosing planting material It would also be useful to take into account the culinary purpose of the tomato. Some tomatoes are good for pickling, others are high in sugar and are more suitable for slicing and salads. Some are grown only for technical purposes for processing into tomato paste, ketchup or juice.
