Choosing certain type tomatoes, the summer resident must be puzzled by the question of where he will grow them - in a greenhouse or natural conditions, because they are suitable for open ground and film greenhouses different varieties tomatoes. Approaches to growing fruits in a greenhouse and open ground are very different.
Advantages of growing different varieties of tomatoes in open ground
The most productive variety of tomatoes, intended for growing in a greenhouse, will not give high yields under natural conditions. And vice versa: tomatoes for open ground planted in a greenhouse will not give high yields and will not have as good a taste as they should have if all cultivation conditions are met.
Choosing tomato varieties, be sure to pay attention to whether they are intended for growing in open ground.
Characteristics of different varieties of tomatoes
The types of tomatoes are extremely diverse. Each of them has unique taste qualities and timing of fruit ripening. For example, an early-ripening tomato variety ripens very quickly, while the number of days from germination to fruiting is very small. Another species requires special care conditions, for example, requires pinching, etc.
Some fruits are more suitable for consumption in fresh, others are only good when canned.
The shape of tomato fruits also has a wide choice. Some of them have unusual shape(for example, there is a type of tomato shaped like a banana, the fruits of which have a bright yellow color characteristic of this fruit). These fruits are good for decoration. festive table, because will look very impressive.
IN general view Tomato varieties are classified according to their characteristics food consumption and there are 4 large groups:
- Pickling fruits, the fruits of which are usually small, red in color, and have excellent taste;
- Canned fruits, characterized by very small fruits and thin skin;
- Salad dishes that do not have a uniform characteristic, because They can be red or yellow, large or small;
- Saucy, with soft pulp, which contains a lot of liquid, and also contains large seeds.
Yield varieties of tomatoes, differing in bush shape
Plant bushes can be:
- Shtambov;
- Neshtambov;
- In the form of potato tops.
Knowing these features, an experienced gardener can at least approximately determine the types of tomatoes visually.
The first type in the above list has low bushes and medium-sized castings.
Non-standard bushes have larger leaves, but their stems are very thin, so they require a garter. The advantages of tying tomatoes are:
- To prevent the growth of excess shoots, which can subsequently interfere with the normal development of the plant and the ripening of fruits;
- In maintaining stems tall plants, which, unable to withstand the weight of very large fruits, can break (stakes support the stem of the plants);
- In preserving the integrity of the fruits, because, having fallen on the ground, tomatoes can be subject to rotting, insects, etc.
Thus, gartering tomatoes is the right solution for those gardeners who strive to get the maximum yield from the bush.
Tomato bushes in the form of potato tops can be extremely difficult to distinguish from potato bushes themselves. Sometimes even experienced agronomists cannot do this.
Climatic conditions for growing productive tomato varieties
Any productive type of tomato has its own requirements for growing climatic conditions. What is good for one can be disastrous for another. Some varieties are suitable for growing in the southern regions, others - in the northern. Due to ignorance of this fact, unfortunate agronomists often receive a zero harvest.
However there is universal species, suitable for growing in different conditions, suitable for open ground and film greenhouses (as a rule, they all belong to early ripening varieties):
- Bear paw;
- Mazarin;
- Grandma's secret;
- King of the Giants;
- Bull's heart and many others.
The best tomato hybrids for open ground: early and mid-ripening
Gardeners who grow tomatoes in open ground for fresh consumption or canning are primarily interested in varieties and hybrids of tomatoes for open ground that ripen early. This is not surprising: every gardener wants to see the results of his labors as quickly as possible.
There are a lot of such types of tomatoes, but the best of them (no more than 10 types) have long been the subject of attention of experienced gardeners.The fact is that not every variety is easy to grow. Many plants require pinching or other specific care conditions. If the plant is more than 30-40 cm high, it requires tying. Thus, most gardeners excluded a number of tomato varieties from their attention.
For open ground and film greenhouses you need to choose different types tomatoes, as we found out earlier. And which of them are super-yielding, we will tell you further.
So, these are the following varieties of tomatoes, very tasty and healthy:
- Lemon liana (or its other name - wonder of the world);
- Roma;
- Anniversary Tarasenko (hybrid-35);
- Anastasia;
- Crimson giant, etc.
Let us consider in more detail the features of each of the listed types, remembering that they do not belong to the universal ones, i.e. are not suitable for open ground and film greenhouses, but are intended only for cultivation in natural environmental conditions.
The fruits of the raspberry giant variety of tomatoes are very large, even one of the largest. This is an early ripening variety. They are red in color and have a characteristic crimson tint. The weight of each fruit exceeds 500 grams and often reaches 700 grams. This species does not require pinching or other special cultivation conditions. The fruits are located on the branch of the plant in several pieces; they are very heavy, so it is often necessary to tie up the bushes. The plant is about a meter high. This is perhaps the only drawback in caring for the variety.
The fruits of the lemon vine, as the name of the variety suggests, have the shape and appearance of a lemon, although the weight of the fruit is inferior to the weight of a lemon and is no more than 100 grams. The fruit ovaries are numerous: on each branch there are 30-40 pieces.
The fruits of this tomato variety are often used in canning.Housewives marinate them in their own juice, it turns out beautiful and delicious snack. This is also an early ripening variety of tomatoes, like the previous one described. Plant up to 70 cm high.
I would like to talk about Anastasia separately, because... This productive variety giving a lot of fruit. This plant, about a meter high, also does not require pinching, like the previously mentioned tomato varieties. Medium-sized tomatoes, up to 7-8 on each bunch. The fruits are good raw; often after picking they are served immediately and are not used for canning. They are slightly elongated in appearance and are red in color. One bush gives Anastasia high yield(up to 12 kg of delicious tomatoes). The plant is no more than one meter high.
The Roma variety was bred in distant Holland, but has also taken root here in Russia. The fruits are plum-shaped, light in weight (up to 100 grams). Even though the weight of the tomatoes is not great, but on one cluster of the plant an average of 20 small tomatoes are tied.
If the Roma variety is not universal in terms of growing conditions, then its fruits can easily be classified as such. They are used by housewives both in pickling and canning. IN vegetable salads Such tomatoes would also be appropriate. Note that this is a productive variety that gives large number tomatoes from the bush.
The anniversary variety Tarasenko is classified as mid-season tomatoes, but this does not affect its popularity among gardeners. The fruits of this variety of tomatoes have the correct shape and average weight (up to 200-240 grams).
Growing tomatoes of this variety is not difficult, because... the plant is unpretentious. True, it does not have any special resistance to diseases, as experienced agronomists note. But this is not a problem, since various diseases in the plant occur infrequently. The plant is usually 70-80 cm high.
Thus, early varieties of tomatoes are suitable for cultivation in open ground, none of which require pinching, and all of them are unpretentious to external conditions. Usually these are low-growing varieties, because tall bushes need gartering, which can only be done in greenhouse conditions. However, some gardeners, preferring tall varieties of tomatoes, still grow them in open ground (for example, the pink honey variety). Of course, the yield is somewhat reduced.
What varieties of tomatoes are good for open ground in your opinion? What do you prefer to grow in your summer cottage?
Seeds of low-growing tomatoes are leaders in personal plots. The reason is that they are much easier to care for than tall bushes. Small tomatoes do not require tying or pinching; they ripen early and the tomatoes do not have time to get late blight. Let's look at the best varieties of tomatoes for open ground.

How to choose a variety for open ground and greenhouses?
When choosing a tomato variety, you need to decide on the planting location. The fact is that the same species can produce different yields in open and closed ground. That is why it is necessary to know exactly where the seeds will be planted.
Information about where to grow productive tomato varieties is always indicated on the packages and should not be neglected. If the variety is intended for open areas, then in a greenhouse it may not produce a harvest. The reason will be related to the lack of pollinators, lack of light, fresh air, high humidity or temperature or something like that. The same applies to varieties of tomatoes intended for greenhouses, only in this case the plant will not produce a harvest (or there will be little of it) due to the too aggressive environment, the abundance of pests, diseases, strong wind, scorching sun, drought, etc.
So if the issue with the planting location has not yet been resolved, it is worth choosing universal tomato varieties. They bear fruit in greenhouses and in the open air, and in the first option their yield is usually higher.
In polite society one does not impose one’s opinion on taste and color. But this does not apply to tomatoes. Everyone loves the crop, and every year not only amateur gardeners, but also specialists try to determine the best, most delicious varieties. Of course, there are many parameters by which tomato varieties can be classified into good and not so good.
