The history of the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato variety line

The Raspberry Miracle tomato was bred by the agricultural firm "Sady Rossii." Work on the variety line was completed over 13 years ago. Three series were developed, each comprising five varieties with distinct characteristics.

In 2014, the line participated in an agricultural exhibition, where it won first place (hence its nickname, the Golden Raspberry Miracle). It was then added to the register the following year. A second and third series were then developed and added to the register in 2017. These varieties are characterized by resistance to many nightshade diseases, thrive well, and produce abundant harvests with minimal care.

A general, detailed description of the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato variety line

Forms low, determinate bushes that do not exceed 1 m. Suitable for both open and closed ground.

General characteristics of fruits

The fruits are medium to large, weighing 100-500 g. The flesh is fleshy and contains few seeds. The raspberry-colored, ribbed skin is fairly dense, preventing cracking. The fruits contain a high amount of dry matter. The largest tomatoes are found on the lower branches, while medium and small ones are found on the upper branches. You can see what they look like in the photo.

Raspberry Miracle tomato fruits

Fruiting and yield

If standard agricultural practices are followed, a single bush can yield 5-10 kg of fruit during the growing season. Moreover, this fruiting occurs regardless of weather conditions, including sudden cold snaps. Furthermore, tomatoes don't care where they're planted (or what type of soil they're in).

Usage

They are consumed in salads and sliced. The tomatoes store well. This variety is excellent for processing into juices, pastes, dressings for various dishes, and sauces. They can also be used for canning, including whole tomatoes, and for winter preserves.

Gardeners eat their tomatoes themselves and sell them. This is due to the high yield, meaning they have enough for themselves and others.

Tomatoes from the Raspberry Miracle series

Resistance to diseases and pests

All varieties in this line demonstrate good resistance to late blight. However, preventative treatment is always necessary.

To prevent pests, remove lower leaves from the bushes, weed them regularly, and loosen the soil. Furthermore, avoid planting after potatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers. These plants shouldn't even be nearby, otherwise the yield will decrease.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato variety line

Advantages:

  • large tomatoes;
  • rich pulp;
  • ease of care;
  • ability to adapt to any conditions;
  • resistance to infections;
  • peel that does not crack;
  • attractive appearance;
  • high yield rate.

The downside is that the Raspberry Miracle tomato only sells seeds in sets. Another downside is that the tomatoes become smaller with each new fruiting.

General planting features of the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato variety

Growing doesn't require much time or effort. It's recommended to sow the seeds first to create seedlings, then transplant them to their permanent location.

Sowing seeds and growing seedlings

First, you need to open the seed packet, inspect them, and discard any damaged ones. They won't germinate anyway. After that, pre-planting preparation is necessary:

  1. Soak the seeds in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour.
  2. Treat with Ecosil, Baikal EM-1 according to the instructions.
  3. Dry the seeds naturally.

The optimal time for sowing is the first ten days of March. Choose a warm, sunny day.
Please note! Selecting seeds should be done responsibly. It is advisable to purchase them directly from the "Gardens of Russia" agrofirm or its partners. This way, you can be sure that the selection is pure, meaning the variety will fully meet the stated characteristics.

Tomato seeds

Basic requirements for soil mixture and planting container:

  • The soil should be fertile and soft. You can buy it ready-made at the store or make your own from garden soil, peat, sand, humus, or compost. If compost is needed, the soil mixture needs to be disinfected. To do this, pour boiling water over it or steam it in the oven.
  • The planting container should be shallow but wide. It should be chosen so that after sowing, it can be covered and stored in a warm place.

Sowing

Step-by-step sowing:

  • Make holes 0.5-0.7 cm deep.
  • Place 20 seeds in each.
  • Cover them with a 1 cm layer of soil.
  • Moisten with a spray bottle.
  • Cover with film or glass.
  • Place the container at a temperature of +18…+25 °C.

Remove the cover daily for ventilation and moisture. The first shoots should appear within 1-1.5 weeks.

When the first fruit sets, remove diseased and weakened plants. Thin the rows if necessary. This should leave 7-10 strong, healthy plants, spaced 10 cm apart. If you don't want to thin the plants, you can transplant them into separate pots.

Tomato seedlings

The following conditions must be provided for seedlings:

  • temperature — +18…+25 °С;
  • humidification - spraying from a spray bottle 1-2 times a day;
  • The lighting is good, so place the containers on the southern windowsill.

Please note! If the room is too dark, supplemental lighting with phytolamps is necessary. Without sufficient light, the seedlings will not develop well and will wilt.

Planting in the ground

The soil should be prepared in the fall. It can be made by mixing sand, compost, and garden soil in equal parts. Store the soil mixture in a cool basement until spring.

Before planting, disinfect the soil with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate or freeze it. Transplanting the seedlings can begin when the risk of night frosts has passed. In temperate climates, this occurs in late May or early June. If this rule is not followed, the root system will freeze, and the bushes will not bear fruit.

Planting tomatoes

Step-by-step transfer:

  • Dig holes 12-15 cm deep.
  • Place fertilizer on the bottom.
  • Water generously.
  • Replant the bush and install a vertical support nearby.
  • Cover the root system with soil and water.
  • After a week, tie the bush to a support.

Please note! When planting, maintain a distance of 0.6 m between bushes in the same bed. Leave 0.7 m between rows.

General care for Raspberry Miracle tomato varieties

The bushes grow quickly. They need to be trained into two stems. Care instructions:
use a drip irrigation system;

  • After each moistening of the soil, loosen it;
  • use superphosphates, manure, peat, wood ash as fertilizer;
  • tie the plant to trellises and other supports.

We must also not forget about weed control and preventative treatment against diseases and pests.

Prevention and control of diseases

Dry brown spot, brown spot, and blossom-end rot pose a threat to these varieties. The first disease is characterized by the appearance of dark spots on the above-ground portions of the bushes. To reduce its risk, it is recommended to cover the plants with agrofibre at night.

Blossom-end rot affects unripe fruits, causing their tops to rot. To prevent the disease, it's recommended to sprinkle 1 tablespoon of calcium nitrate and a handful of wood ash into each hole when planting. You can also spray green tomatoes with calcium nitrate.

Brown spot can be identified by its brownish-red spots and a gray, velvety coating. To combat the disease, spray the bushes with copper sulfate.

Read more about tomato diseases and how to control them in the article.57 tomato diseases with photos and treatment tables + 19 resistant varieties.

The following pests pose a danger:

  • tomato moth;
  • whitefly;
  • spider mite;
  • root-knot nematode;
  • aphid.

To get rid of insects, spraying with biochemical preparations is done.

Harvesting and storing tomatoes from the Raspberry Miracle line

The harvest is from June to August. The first fruits are the largest, so they are sold or used for salads, slicing, and processing. Subsequent tomatoes are smaller and are usually canned. If the temperature drops to 13°C, the entire crop should be harvested, as the flavor will deteriorate later.
Ripe tomatoes can be stored for up to 3 days. If they need to ripen further, keep them in a warm place for about a week.
Seeds for further planting can be collected from the largest fruits. They have a long germination period of 10 years.

Comparison of tomato varieties of the Golden Raspberry Miracle line with each other and other varieties

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.

Real reviews from gardeners about the Golden Raspberry Miracle tomato series

Reviews of the variety line from garden owners are mostly positive, noting that the varieties are very easy to care for, while producing a rich harvest.

I'm a long-time customer of the Chelyabinsk company; I've purchased and will continue to order seeds for various crops. I'd like to share my impressions of the "Raspberry Miracle" tomato variety.

I grow tomatoes in a polycarbonate greenhouse using seedlings. These seeds have a good germination rate (sometimes excellent, depending on the variety package), but the only downside is that they can be infested with thrips. And, of course, they're more expensive than buying other seeds at your local garden center.

Seeds

I plant the seeds of one variety in a wide bowl, then transplant them individually.

Seedling

Pricking out tomatoes

In the first case, the soil is Vermi, in the second - Veltorf.

Unfortunately, thrips infestations on seedlings are not uncommon, but I don't even spray the plants; I simply pick off the affected leaves. The key is to spot them before most of the seedlings are infected.

In May, I plant it in a greenhouse and add a handful of Vermi biohumus to the hole (I’ll write a review about it).

"Raspberry Miracle" in early July.

Harvest

In August, I process tomatoes into juice. There's practically no water left, just pulp.

Tomato juice

Last year, I planted five of each tomato variety from all three Raspberry Miracle series. I liked almost all of them: they were smooth, tasty, disease-free, yielded a decent harvest, and were easy to transport. They didn't crack and lasted for two weeks without overripening.

I also liked them. I planted Raspberry Bogatyr and Raspberry Dream, Raspberry Bison, and Raspberry Joy. This year I'll be planting a different series. But I didn't understand Dekabrist and Sochalnik for long-term storage. They ripened like the others and didn't want to sit around at all. I also liked Apricot. I've been planting their tomatoes for open ground for three years. They're very good. I already showed photos here.

The Fruits of the Raspberry Miracle

Tomatoes in section

Tomato bushes

I didn't really take care of the greenhouse, as we only went there on weekends. I was pleased that their plants didn't have any blight.

Last year, I planted five varieties. I only liked "Raspberry Bunny." It produced a plentiful supply of fruit, all uniform and delicious. They grew in open ground in the northern Southern Urals and in a greenhouse. I trained them to have two trunks and pinched out the side shoots. I'll be planting this variety again this year.

I planted them and really liked them. They were delicious and the yield was impressive. Raspberry Miracle, Series 2: Raspberry King, Raspberry Dream, Raspberry Desired, Raspberry Bison, Raspberry Joy. Of all of them, the only one I wasn't happy with was the bison, which didn't produce a good harvest. I won't be planting any more this year because the girls from the hacienda sent so many seeds that there simply won't be enough room for Russian gardens. Good luck growing them.

Hello everyone! I grew the Raspberry series in 2015-16, and also gave some side shoots to my mom for an experiment in the countryside. The Raspberry was incredibly good in the open ground, and in the greenhouse, I loved the Raspberry Wine and Raspberry Sunset. My mom is absolutely delighted with the Raspberry "miracles"—perhaps because she alternated vermicompost with bird droppings in her greenhouse.
Also, I always sow tomatoes quite late, at the end of March, or even without seedlings. I think in most cases, the Golden Raspberry Miracle simply didn't have time to open up. I'll continue the experiment, as I still have some seeds left. This season, I'll grow them in raised beds, alternating organic and mineral fertilizers and mulching. I'll also provide irrigation.
In principle, I agree, the Gardens of Russia's marketing ploy was successful, but it left many disappointed. After all, it's one thing to nurture and care for a couple dozen specific plants (especially for a competition with an impressive prize fund), and quite another to grow tomatoes among other vegetables.
But I agree about the taste of the Raspberries—they weren't impressive. But I was impressed by the Sochal'naya (it sat for a month and then ran out), the Zolotaya Moshcha (I highly recommend it), and the Swan Princess—it was simply amazing. I made a sauce with the Zolotaya Moshcha for the winter, and it's flying off the shelves. The Swan Princess was used for canning and lecho—the fruits were so juicy and vibrant. The Sochal'naya (Christmas Eve) impressed me with the beauty of the bush, the fruit, and the yield. I grew it in a greenhouse, so I didn't have to tie it up or remove any side shoots.

I've been ordering tomatoes for several years now and I love them. I'll be checking out the Raspberry Miracle series this year. Last year, I really liked the Dekabrist tomatoes—we finished them in March, so I planted them again.

Raspberry Miracle Harvest

Basket with harvest

I ordered three batches of Raspberry Miracle two years in a row. The tomatoes are good and robust. They don't suffer from late blight; even during the cold St. Petersburg summer of 2015, they didn't have any problems. I liked them.

«Has anyone grown the "Golden Raspberry Miracle" series hybrids from "Gardens of Russia"?»

I grew it in the open ground. I waited a long time for seeds. It set well. The fruits are medium-sized and have a sweet and sour taste. They're mainly used for pickling. I was expecting more, but Vakh Vakh didn't work out. I have seeds if I can share them; I won't be planting them this year.
By the way, these tomatoes were not affected by late blight.

Zulfiya, to be honest, I can't write beautifully like everyone else on this forum. There's not much information about them. I saw the ad and ordered a full set. By the way, late blight ate all my neighbors' tomatoes, and these ones stayed on the bush until the very end. But my family, to be honest, didn't like them; they were as hard as apples. I planted them on March 8th, like all the other tomatoes. Honestly, there wasn't enough space in the greenhouse. So, along with Torbay, Pink Honey, and Petrushka, I planted them in the open ground. I formed three stems at the end of July and cut off the tops because the lower clusters had already filled out. They grew without any buds, fed them with mash and mulched. I planted them around May 25th-26th under arches. Then the heat set in, so I removed the arches. They set a lot of fruit, and the clusters were gorgeous. They are turning a beautiful, even pink color. The weather, by the way, didn't affect them. The skin is thick, so they're great for pickling. I had 15 plants, three of each variety. I picked about six buckets of good tomatoes from this bed. If you want to try them, I can give you some seeds.

We ate the last tomato in November)) I like large and soft ones, after all, hybrids are not as tasty. I pulled out the bushes in October).

Diana, you write well! :hat: I get it! They didn't get enough warmth in our open-air garden this summer. More ash—they'll be sweeter. When did you finally pull out the bushes?

Gardens of Russia announced a competition for the "Best..." award, so Yandex Video has many video reports. The taste is praised in the open-top (1m tall) in the Orenburg Region, in greenhouses in the central part of the country, and even in Vologda (2m tall). Weights range from 300g to 400g.

Thanks for the warning about the firm texture. I also love the semi-soft, varietal-like Pinks from Sakata, but they don't last more than a month when ripe.

This year I planted the entire series, but not all the photos in the album. I planted them directly in the open ground. They grew nice, strong plants, set well, and produced large fruit. I trained them with 3-4 stems, but I was stingy and didn't trim off the extra side shoots. But I'm not much of a gardener yet, so I picked the tomatoes green in early August because I was afraid of foxtail rot. They took a long time to ripen, but the ones I left on the vine didn't get sick and ripened well, faster than those I picked. The flavor is fine, sweet when cut, I liked them, even though they were firm.
