Tomato Lyubasha f1

Have you noticed that when choosing planting material, in most cases, you give preference to early-maturing varieties? And this is absolutely natural. Because every gardener wants to see and try the results of his work as soon as possible. In other words, harvest as soon as possible. Perhaps late-ripening vegetable varieties have a sweeter taste. And also can be stored longer. But for crops that ripen in the middle of summer, there is always a place in the garden. This applies to any vegetable crop. And tomatoes are no exception. Among other varieties, you can tomato Lyubasha f1.

Tomato Lyubasha is a young hybrid variety, the seeds of which went on sale only since 2017. And although the cultivation of hybrid varieties does not allow you to collect your own seeds and you have to buy them every year, this did not prevent many gardeners from immediately falling in love with Lyubasha f1 tomatoes for their taste and “non-capriciousness” in care.

The full name of the hybrid is "Tomato Lyubasha F1" and it was created in 2016. Growing in a greenhouse is allowed. And also outdoors. The plant belongs to the determinant varieties. That is, the height of the tomato Lyubasha is limited. The Lyubasha tomato variety will not grow higher than one meter. Such bushes are usually classified as medium-sized. But still, the meter is high enough. Therefore, the plant must be tied up. And also by all means remove the stepsons.

Observations show that f1 Lyubash tomatoes grow equally well in open and protected ground. But at the same time, in a greenhouse or greenhouse, the harvest will be large. And it will ripen a little earlier. Despite the meter growth, the bushes look quite compact. The foliage is medium-sized, rich in bright green color.

When planting, do not place the plants too tightly. It is enough to plant four bushes per square meter. Provide the bushes with three stems as they form further. To do this, do not remove the stepson that appears above the first inflorescence. And also the next one. If the planting is more dense, then form a bush in only two stems. That is, leave only one stepson. Usually the first flowers appear after the fifth or sixth true leaf. This brush will end up with about seven fruits.

Tomatoes Lyubasha F1 have one feature that is extremely rare. Not one but two brushes of flowers can grow from one internode. And then on both the fruits will be tied and ripe. And this will not affect the formation and development of other inflorescences in any way. That is, there is no need to remove the "extra" brush in order to accelerate the ripening of the fruit.

The ripening dates of tomatoes Lyubasha F1 can be called not just early. And ultra early. As a rule, 70 days from germination to the moment when the first ripe fruits can be tasted. Early varieties usually do not overwhelm the amount of harvest. But the “Lyubasha” tomato also stands out against the background of other tomatoes, surprising with its high yield. Subject to all the rules of agricultural technology, you will be able to get four to five kilograms of beautiful tomatoes from one bush. And this means that from a square meter you will collect 20 kilograms. Agree, this is more than an excellent result!

When creating hybrids, breeders pay special attention to the resistance of plants to various diseases, which can not only negatively affect the quantity and quality of the crop, but in some cases even destroy all plants. So most hybrids and tomato Lyubasha F1 in particular has high immunity to most diseases inherent in tomatoes (top rot, "alternaria», «late blight" and etc.).

If we talk about the fruits of the Lyubasha tomato, then they have a very neat round shape, slightly flattened.In the process of growth, they are light green, and when ripe they acquire a rich bright red hue. Their flesh is pinkish and fleshy, the skin is smooth, the fruits look extremely attractive. It is very important that even in unfavorable weather (with rains and low air temperatures) tomatoes do not crack. There are usually three (sometimes four) seed nests inside.

The weight of one tomato of the Lyubasha variety usually ranges from 120 to 150 grams, ripening is amicable, which is very convenient for conservation (especially since the fruits are dense and small in size). You can use them as you like, they are versatile: autumn is delicious fresh in salads, you can make tomato paste or juice from them, salt and pickle, and you can also make a blank in the form of sun-dried tomatoes. Experts estimate the taste qualities of tomatoes of the Lyubasha F1 variety very highly, which is extremely rare in the case of hybrids and early maturing varieties. And given the density of the tomato skins, they perfectly tolerate transportation and can be stored for quite a long time in suitable conditions.

Growing and care

Despite the fact that the Lyubasha tomato variety is early ripe, it, like other tomatoes, is grown by the seedling method. Theoretically, in southern regions with a stably warm climate, you can plant Lyubasha tomato seeds directly into the soil, but gardeners still prefer to grow seedlings first.

At the time of transplanting seedlings to a permanent place, the age of the plants should be about 50 days, based on this information, it is worth calculating the timing of sowing seeds.
The seedlings are strong due to the natural immunity of the plants. After the appearance of the third true leaf, you can do some kind of organic feeding. But if, during the picking, you prepare a soil mixture enriched with humus for seedlings, then in the future you don't have to worry about making additional fertilizers.
As we already said, depending on how you plan to form the bushes and what area you initially have for tomatoes, you can place 4-6 plants per square meter. And it is better if, during the planting process, you immediately install the supports to which you will tie the bushes (if you install them later, there is a risk of damaging the root system). Despite the fact that “Lyubasha” tomatoes are considered not very tall and their stem grows very thick, with a large number of fruits, the branches can still begin to break, and then you can lose your harvest.

Tomatoes of the Lyubasha f1 variety have high immunity, but this is not one hundred percent insurance against all troubles, so experienced gardeners recommend putting a tablet of "glyocladin" in the hole of each plant at the time of planting - this is a microbiological agent that has a preventive effect and prevents the development of diseases.

Further caring for tomato bushes is no different from caring for the rest of the plants - you need to water, loosen the soil and, if necessary, huddle the bushes, weed in a timely manner, you can carry out foliar feeding with an ash solution several times. And of course, harvest when the time comes.

As you know, the Lyubasha tomato variety is still very young, so few gardeners managed to form their opinion and share it with like-minded people. However, the reviews that appear indicate that over time the variety will become very popular, because everyone who tried to grow it is satisfied with the results.

Alexandra, Obninsk

Tomatoes of the Lyubasha F1 variety were bought because of their early maturity. We had an experimental season, we planted several different varieties. And since the weather in summer was extremely strange, then cold and heavy rain, then heat, most of the plants eventually fell ill with late blight and had to fight for the harvest. Only eight bushes of Lyubasha tomato remained untouched by the disease, which could not but rejoice.The harvest from these bushes was very decent, the tomatoes are very tasty, as well as beautiful and neat - just what you need for pickling. It is a pity that it is impossible to collect the seeds of the tomato Lyubasha, but this is not a problem - we will buy it in the store. For everyone who plans to plant the Lyubasha tomato variety - my best recommendations.

Love, Tver

I saw the variety of tomatoes Lyubasha in the store and could not help but buy - after all, we are namesakes! Well, besides, the ripening dates and good characteristics of the variety were encouraging. The seedlings turned out to be excellent, planted them both in the greenhouse and in the open ground (everything did not fit into the greenhouse). Because of the rainy weather, the "street" plants got sick with late blight, but they managed to cope with it rather quickly, although this apparently influenced the yield of Lyubasha's tomato - in the greenhouse it was twice as large. But any experience is good, and in the end I was satisfied with the Lyubasha tomato variety, I will continue to grow it, just only in greenhouses.
