Tomato lovers are increasingly interested in the question: "What varieties, at what time and where is it better to plant in order to collect the highest quality tomato crop." Already in early spring, gardeners begin to plan planting tomatoes. A greenhouse is the best way to get this coveted vegetable as early as possible. Today we will tell you about the best varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses.

Determinate and indeterminate varieties: what is the difference and which is better?

All varieties of tomatoes are usually divided into determinant and indeterminate:

1. The former include the so-called limited-growth tomatoes. That is, the bush grows to a certain brush and stops growing. As a rule, this species is undersized and is suitable either for small greenhouses or for planting around the perimeter of a greenhouse where the roof is lower.
2. Indeterminate varieties grow as long as the weather permits. It is advisable to plant them in the center of the greenhouse. Tomatoes belonging to this species are resistant to weather changes and are the most ideal option for growing in a greenhouse.

Valuable in modern tomato cultivation are hybrids. They do not shrink from the top to the bottom of the brush, as is often the case with ordinary varieties.

The distance between the rows in your greenhouse should be at least 50 - 60 centimeters

So, let's consider in more detail the best varieties of both types, the most optimal for growing in greenhouses:

1. Among the determinants, we can recommend the following: Openwork, Bourgeois, Masha Doll, Spring of the North, Doll.

• Openwork, Bourgeois. The fruits of these varieties are quite large, with dense, but juicy pulp, red. This hybrid is resistant to all weather and diseases.
• Doll, Doll Masha, Spring of the North. These are pink varieties. Very sweet and big. Unlike other pink-fruited tomatoes, their flesh is dense, so they are more hardy for transportation. Perfectly adapt to changeable weather, are not sensitive to diseases.

• Octopus. For several years, this variety has occupied a leading position among other tomatoes. Its fruits are round, sweet and bright red, without white and green spots near the stem. The "celebrity" of the Octopus is due to the fact that with proper watering and heating, it can be grown all year round.
  

  The most interesting thing is that the bush grows into a tomato tree. In addition to all the advantages, this variety is very resistant to diseases and weather changes.

• Major. Here is just the case when the title corresponds to the content! The fruits of this variety are very sweet, practically sugary, have a pleasant smell, and are very good in salads. The pulp is quite dense, so tomatoes are good for storage and transportation. The tomato has a pinkish color, perfectly tolerates weather vagaries and is not susceptible to infection with tomato diseases.
• Happiness, Happiness Russian. These are fast and high growing varieties of tomatoes. They have an amazing supply of energy, are very productive. Their fruits are quite large, red, tasty and with a pleasant aroma. Happiness grows more intensively and higher, so it is ideal for large greenhouses.
  

  But Russian Happiness has smaller distances between nodes. In this regard, the variety can grow freely in small greenhouses. These tomatoes are very unpretentious in care and living conditions. Another advantage is that the fruits of these varieties are resistant to cracking of the peel.

We reviewed the most popular greenhouse varieties of tomatoes, growing them is a pleasure!

Growing tomatoes in a greenhouse

1. If you want to get large tomatoes from determinate varieties, cut a few unripe fruits from each brush. The remaining tomatoes will go to grow and, according to the legends of "experienced" farmers, can grow up to 600-1000 grams each. Well, this, of course, is only a legend, but in reality, tomatoes really grow twice as large.
2. Grow several varieties of tomatoes at once in one greenhouse for different purposes. It is better if there are both indeterminate and determinant species, pink, brown, red and yellow tomatoes. Variety pleases the owner and gives a certain guarantee of the harvest. In addition, there are varieties that are good for conservation (for example, Slivovka, Yellow Drop, Cherry and others), and there are also so-called salad varieties (Orange Miracle, Cardinal, Major, etc.). Cherry variety can be called universal - it is perfectly eaten both closed and fresh.
3. If your tomato bushes are not blooming as intensely as you would like, cut off the lower ovaries. Perhaps it is difficult for a young plant to pour the first fruits and, released, it will throw out twice as many tomatoes. And then - a matter of maturation!
4. Do you want tomato bushes to bear fruit quickly and large? There is one easy way. Place several buckets of fermenting grass or manure in the greenhouse. Due to the increase in the CO2 concentration in the air, the tomatoes grow more intensively and the fruits are larger.

Well, let's sum up. There are a lot of varieties of tomatoes for greenhouses in nature. Therefore, each gardener can experiment with different varieties of tomatoes for more than one year, in order, in the end, to choose the best composition for his greenhouse. It is especially difficult, in this regard, for beginners. That is why we decided to support your efforts with the necessary and useful information. And now it remains to wish a successful harvest!
