What Othodox Is Realted To Complementary Therapy

MACETOHUERTO I --- Growing Tomatoes -

Home

the first part of a section I to devote exclusively to macetohuertos and where I will be adding new entries devoted to different crops common to vessels and containers and pots usually called in the jargon of this peculiar kind gardener growing increasingly common among urbanites looking forward to growing.

And what better way to begin this section with the most popular vegetable and spread the world: tomato.

A little history: The tomato was introduced by the English conquistadors in the sixteenth century as an ornamental and 200 years later no began production for food consumption, it seems that your red blood was the cause of Europe is not finished deciding their consumption and the proof is that varieties first became part of our diet were yellow. It comes from South and Central America and it seems that its name comes from the Aztec tomatl.

Cultivation and Botanica: taketh the scientific name is Solanum and Lycopersicon lycopersicum esculentum and Solanum one is a creeper that produces yellow flowers and fruit size and shape,
usually red, although There are shades of yellow, pink and dark green, even scratched. It is a perennial plant in Spain is grown as an annual because it does not support the cold temperatures of our climate. The leaves are compound (each leaf is made up of smaller leaves called leaflets in a number of 7 to 9). Looking

cultivation, the classification is reduced to two types: specific or limited growth, and
indeterminate, unlimited growth.

most cultivated varieties are: Tomato Salad (a little green is collected and its size is rather large), Rama Tomato Canario or , Cherry Tomato (very small), Tomato or Kiwi-Pera Pera (oval and medium size) and Hanging Tomato (great flavor and using them for spread). It

cultva from seed or by school.

If grown from campuses planted since March in mild climates. In the cooler should wait until April whether to plant without protection.
need about 40-50 inches apart to grow. They are well adapted to growing in pots, but in large containers improve their performance. Only copies of Dwarf can dispense
guardians "and are not very productive." If the weather is favorable, starting two months after transplantation, one can begin to get results. And the harvest can last all summer until cold weather arrives
. If you opt for planting should be carried out from late January and always protected seed with maximum lighting and maintaining a constant humidity without excesos.Una series of basic measures improve the results: "Sow a half inch deep in drilled a small tray (so the water does not accumulate at the bottom) filled with peat, wet and stored in a warm place until the beginning of germination. Then take the tray outside in the sun by covering with a glass like a greenhouse, and get home at night, "says Salvatella. There is only "transplant when lasplántulas have 4-5 leaves."

Care. The optimum temperature for development is between 20 and 30 degrees during the day and between 1 and 17 degrees at night below 10 degrees the plant grows. Requires sunlight-shadow-production suffers and good drainage. Watering is crucial after transplantation. Once well established the plant should be allowed to dry the substrate between waterings. Towards the subscriber, you have to keep all the productive phase (I personally declined by sheep manure or gallinaceous but are not readily available so they can be replaced by horse manure or compost more commercially available) Only will be required two tasks: the staking and pruning. You can use canes or sticks as tutors, who will have to tie the stems. Pruning consists of removing the side shoots
to leave one or two guides, main stems per plant "." This will get better results, larger and more advanced production,

containers are especially appropriate in the variedades'Roma ',' Cherry '(especially when space is scarce),' Raf ',' Crimean Black ',' Marglobe ',' Marmande ',' Muchamiel ',' Three Cantos "," Valenciano ',' Majorcan '.

The tomato can associate the (space permitting) with carrots, chard, garlic, basil, onion, endive, spinach and leeks and is not advisable to associate with those of the same family such as peppers or eggplants.

Regarding the most common pests on the terrace are whiteflies, aphids and caterpillars. Lastly

state that although almost all varieties are more or less well adapted to pot is better not to use hybrids because they are used to improve production and the goal should focus on getting more good taste by using original varieties and whether they be indigenous to the better and instead of getting bought tomato seeds whose provenance is almost impossible to determine and are usually worth asking hybrid seed through purchase or exchange. Good harvest
