The origin of the Siberian Garland tomato variety

In 2016, Heterosis Selection LLC opened a testing laboratory, where top specialists developed new, viable vegetable varieties. Thanks to their efforts, a large number of diverse vegetables with excellent agronomic characteristics have been developed. In 2021, another breeding masterpiece, the early tomato Siberian Garland, was added to the register.

A detailed description of the Siberian Garland tomato variety

Siberian Garland is characterized by early ripening, tasty fruits and ease of cultivation.

Bushes

Siberian Garland is an indeterminate hybrid plant with vigorous shoots that can reach 170-180 cm in length. During cultivation, the tomato requires staking and shaping. It is recommended to do this with 1-2 stems to avoid crowding the plantings.

Fruit

Siberian Garland tomatoes are produced in clusters. A single plant can produce 10-11 clusters at a time, each producing 6-8 tomatoes.

The tomatoes are round, sometimes slightly flattened at the ends. They are bright red in color and medium in size. The skin is thick, preventing the fruits from splitting on the vine. Each tomato weighs between 250 and 300 grams.

Productivity

The Siberian Garland variety is considered very productive. With proper farming practices, you can harvest 17 to 19 kg of ripe grapes per square meter.

Ripening time

Siberian Garland is an early-ripening tomato. In many regions, the first harvest can be collected as early as June. From germination to full ripening, it takes no more than 95 days.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Siberian Garland tomato variety

The Siberian Garland variety has advantages and disadvantages, which are presented in the table.

Advantages	Flaws
Excellent immunity. Early ripening period. The fruits do not crack on the bushes. The tomato is not susceptible to late blight. Good taste of fruits. Suitable for both food and processing.	Cannot be stored for a long time. Needs tying and shaping.

Growing the Siberian Garland tomato variety

Siberian garland is intended for growing in greenhouses, so it is necessary to plant the seeds and raise seedlings beforehand.

Sowing seeds and growing seedlings

It's best to purchase seeds through an official representative of the Uralskiy Dachnik company. Choose trusted stores to avoid buying counterfeits.

All seeds are typically pre-prepared for sale. This information can be found on the packaging.

If the manufacturer hasn't treated the seeds in any way, you can soak them at home in any stimulating solution to speed up germination. Products such as Epin, Fitosporin, and others are suitable for this purpose.

Planting can be done either dry or wet. However, experts recommend the latter. Years of experiments have shown that pre-soaked seeds germinate faster and more uniformly.

To germinate, place the selected seeds in a damp cloth and place it on a saucer. Keep the cloth damp, but not soaked, to prevent the contents from rotting or molding.

As soon as the first “noses” appear, you can begin planting.

Add equal parts peat, humus, and garden soil to a prepared container. You can buy ready-made soil, but if you're using soil from your own garden, be sure to disinfect it first. You can bake it in the oven or water it with a weak solution of potassium permanganate.

To avoid overwatering, add vermiculite to the container. 10% of the total soil volume is sufficient.

It's recommended to wash the selected container with a disinfectant solution; a potassium permanganate solution can also be used. This is especially important if the same container is used for several years. Next, fill it halfway with prepared soil, and place the seeds on top, spacing them 1.5–2 cm apart. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and moisten them with a spray bottle.

Cover the planted tomatoes with plastic wrap or glass and place them in a warm place until they germinate. Check the greenhouse periodically and remove any condensation that may have accumulated inside. Failure to do so can cause root rot and reduce germination rates.

When the first green shoots appear, the box should be removed from the cover and moved to a cooler room where the temperature does not exceed 22 degrees.

Next, all that remains is to provide the plants with additional lighting using a phytolamp and periodic watering.

When the shoots produce 3-4 new leaves, they are transplanted into separate containers.

Planting in the ground

The Siberian Garland tomato is designed for greenhouse planting, so it can be done when the soil has warmed to 14 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit). Otherwise, the tomatoes will sit in the ground for a long time without developing. Many gardeners speed up the soil warming process by covering the bed with black plastic film.

The soil is dug over in the fall, and various fertilizers are added at that time. The digging is repeated in the spring.

When planting tomatoes, you should take into account crop rotation rules and not plant them in the same place in the new season.

Siberian Garland is a fairly vigorous tomato variety, so don't overplant. Plant the seedlings 60 cm apart. It's recommended to leave 70 cm between rows to avoid complicating planting.

To protect the roots of the bushes and reduce the risk of exposure to heat, cold, or overwatering, the top of the bed should be covered with a layer of mulch.

Care, watering and fertilizing

The Siberian Garland tomato is easy to grow. For a good harvest, it requires adequate watering, at a rate of 5 liters per plant during flowering. Before this time, it requires three times less water. However, during fruit formation, watering should be avoided entirely.

If the weather is very hot, the beds need to be watered almost every day. In cool weather, the soil should be moistened approximately 1-2 times a week.

Overwatering is dangerous due to the appearance of rot and fungus, which leads to the death of plantings.

In total, tomatoes are fed three times per season:

• Ten days after transplanting tomatoes into the greenhouse, the plants need to be fertilized for the first time. Water-soluble specialized fertilizers, such as Signor Tomato or Aquarin Vegetable, available at a hardware store, work well. However, some prefer organic fertilizers: infused solutions of ash, mullein, weeds, and iodine. Among organic remedies, a mullein solution or a weed infusion with the addition of superphosphate are effective.
• The second feeding is when the fruits on the second cluster begin to set.
• The third feeding is during the first harvest period; here, preference is given to superphosphate and potassium.

Any manipulation of the bushes ceases only during the period of fruit ripening.

During planting, it is necessary to periodically loosen and weed the soil to improve its aeration and reduce the number of weeds.

Resistance of the Siberian Garland tomato variety to diseases and pests

Siberian Garland is a tomato variety resistant to many diseases. Due to its early ripening period, it is not susceptible to late blight.

To reduce the risk of other bacteria, fungi, or viruses, preventative treatment of the plantings is necessary. For this, you can prepare a solution of Fitosporin or Bordeaux mixture. Spray early in the morning or in the evening after the sun's rays have subsided. Repeat the treatment after two weeks, and repeat this process three times per season.

The most important thing is to stop all interventions 14 days before the start of harvest.

Collection, use and storage

Tomatoes ripen fairly early, with the first harvest already in June. Siberian Garland is considered a variety best eaten fresh. They make a perfect addition to any salad. However, if desired, you can preserve them for the winter, such as pickling or juicing. However, there are other varieties more suitable for these purposes.

Comparison of the Siberian Garland tomato variety with other varieties in the table

Please note! How can you easily convert centners/ha to kg/sq.m? Simply divide by 100! For example, the Abakansky Pink tomato yields 400 centners of marketable fruit per hectare. This equals 4 kg per square meter. It's that simple! Also, keep in mind that typically no more than 3-4 plants are planted per square meter. This way, you can calculate the yield per bush. In the case of the Abakansky Pink, it's about 1 kg.
