Tomato "Eagle beak" is grown with seedlings. In the second half of March, the seeds are first sown in boxes, and in 60-70 days they are transferred to open ground. The soil, before it is planted planting material, must undergo special treatment and disinfection.

Seeds for better growth soak. When planting grain deepened into the ground by 1 cm, and the distance between seedlings should be at least 1.5 cm.

Boxes with future seedlings must be placed in a dark warm place (not lower than 20 degrees) and covered with a transparent lid or film. With the advent of the first shoots of capacity should be transferred to the light. Do not forget about the timely abundant watering.For the first water procedures, you can use the spray.

After the appearance of the first two leaves, young tomatoes are transplanted into cups. To do this, use a mixture of earth, sand and peat and pour a solution of potassium permanganate.

Before picking hands, gloves should be worn and plants should be taken out of the ground using a wooden spatula to reduce contact with hands.

As soon as the grains are in the cup, they are transferred to a dark place, pre-watered. When the plants get stronger, they are rearranged on the window sill.

Landing in the ground

When the soil warms up well (late May - early June), sprouts can be planted in the garden. To do this, the ground should be well loosened and each hole filled with fertilizer (no more than 1 spoon of potash or phosphorus minerals).

Seedlings should be planted at a distance of at least 50 cm from each other.

As soon as the first flowers appear, the nitrogen-containing substances are removed from the additives in order not to stop the formation of the ovary.

In order to improve the quality of future tomatoes, periodically it is necessary to carry out the beefing. On the bushes all the lower leaves are removed, and no more than 2 stems are formed. Such a procedure should be carried out in early July with a frequency of once every 10 days. This variety of tomatoes is tall. In addition, thin stems do not always withstand the weight of large fruits and break off. To avoid unwanted cracks, grown bushes tie up a special trellis.
