How important it is on the eve of the garden season to find a productive tomato variety that will delight you with both simplicity and taste. Agrofirm Aelita offered as an option a new variety with an unusual name - Money bag. The novelty immediately interested vegetable growers with unusual characteristics, one of which is carp fruiting. Our hero was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of Russia in 2013, received admission to cultivation in all regions of the country. After variety trials, it is recommended for open ground and film shelters in personal subsidiary plots. Not a hybrid.

Description

The plant is indeterminate, about 1.8 meters high, this creates unnecessary trouble in the growing process, since you need to build trellises or supports to support the stems. Sprawling bush, with powerful stems, medium foliage. The leaves of the variety are medium-sized, green, pinnate, of the usual type, slightly corrugated. The inflorescence is simple. The type of tomato fruiting is remarkable - carpal, which in recent years has begun to enjoy genuine interest from vegetable growers. It not only gives the bush a high decorative effect, but also increases the productivity of the culture. On the central stem, 5 - 7 brushes can form, each of which has up to 15 ovaries. The peduncle is articulated.

The fruits are beautiful, neat, leveled. Rounded in shape, with a smooth surface, dense consistency. The skin is firm but not thick. Unripe tomato is light green, without a dark spot at the stalk. When ripe, it turns into a deep red color. The pulp is quite dense, holding its shape when cutting, juicy, tender, with a pleasant aroma. There are two to three seed chambers, the seeds are small. The State Register describes the palatability as excellent. Vegetable growers confirm this, the taste is really good, sweetish, with a slight sourness. In a word - real, tomato. Although there are gourmets who call the taste of Moneybag ordinary, they do not take into account the fact that we are not talking about Beef tomatoes, but about an early ripening variety. Tomatoes have a small weight. The originator indicated a mass of 80 - 100 grams, with which the State Register fully agreed. Gardeners in their comments note that the tomatoes on the first brushes really correspond to the declared indicators. But if, in the process of growth, you start a bush, stop pinching, then the fruits begin to shrink.

Agrotechnics

The variety is grown through seedlings. It is best to determine the sowing time yourself in order to take into account the climate of the region and the method of cultivation. Seedlings ready for transplanting should be at least 60 - 65 days old. For central Russia, the time for sowing seeds falls on the first half of March. In open ground, dived seedlings are planted from the second half of May to 5 June. The seeds are prepared in the usual way. In stage 2 - 3 of these leaves, a pick is made. After transplanting, the bushes are tied up on a trellis or support, it is imperative to carry out pinching. In order to evenly distribute the load and help the tomato to form a maximum yield, the plant is led into 1 - 2 stems. The recommended planting density is 3 - 5 pieces per 1 square meter. Agricultural technology is common for the culture as a whole. Watering is carried out with warm water, at the beginning of development, the plant is moistened abundantly, but during the ripening period, the amount of watering is slightly limited to avoid cracking the fruits and allow the pulp to accumulate more sugars. Top dressing is done at least 2 times during the growing season. Weeding and loosening after wetting are a must.

The money bag is well suited for those growers who grow crops not only for fresh consumption, but also for preparing preparations for the winter. Correct agricultural technology will help our hero to show a decent yield and please with beautiful and tasty fruits. Care is generally simple, but its implementation will help to avoid many troubles - cracking of fruits, disease. Difficulties can be caused by the need to tie a bush to a support, this must be done as early as possible, before the inflorescences appear on the tomato. Formation and pinching will not amount to labor. A hardworking variety deserves attention, and if you like it and to taste, you can always collect the seeds yourself.
