Features varieties Liang
It is a ripening and at the same time high-yielding variety. From the moment of the appearance of the first shoots to the immediate harvest, approximately 85-100 days pass.
The plant is short, the height of the bushes is only 40-50 cm. It has medium branching, but with abundant growth of leaves. Does not apply to standard types. By type of growth - determinant, the bush is best formed into one stem.
Lyan's tomato is a rather compact plant with small dark green slightly corrugated leaves. The first inflorescences are laid above the 5-6th leaf, and all subsequent ones - in 1-2 leaves.
These tomatoes are the best varieties of tomatoes for the east of Ukraine. The variety is perfect for growing both in open ground conditions and in the greenhouse. The plant is resistant to sudden temperature changes and is able to give a good harvest even in bad weather conditions. With proper care, a bush plant gives 2-3 kilograms of tomatoes.
The plant is completely immune to apical fruit rot and is also very resistant to dry and bacterial blotch. But at the same time, it may be infected with a tobacco mosaic virus.
Did you know? Fresh fruits contain a large percentage of carotene. It is recommended to harvest and process the crop immediately after ripening.
Description of the fetus

Fruits are dense and on average have 2-3 chambers, with the number of seeds about 0.30% of the total weight of the fruit. The dry matter content is not more than 6%, sugars - 4%, the acidity is quite low and ranges from 0.4 to 0.8%.
Tomatoes tolerate transportation and long-term storage. Under simple conditions (air temperature in the range of plus 8-10 degrees and a humidity level of 85%), the fruits remain fresh for 2.5-3 months.

How to independently sow tomato seeds for seedlings
For planting tomatoes at the bottom of the tank it is necessary to make a drainage layer. This is necessary in order to reduce the risk of possible damage to the seedlings of the so-called “black leg” - a rather dangerous phytophase.
A crushed shell rock is poured into disposable plastic cups with a layer of 0.5 cm, then a mixture of soil is poured onto it. All this is poured over with water at room temperature, and after the cups are covered with a film and kept like this for 5-6 hours. For such a period of time, the moisture evenly permeates the entire volume of the soil.
Then, with the help of a toothpick, small depressions are made - approximately 0.5 cm. In each of them, one seed is carefully lowered. With the same toothpick, the grooves are gently sprinkled, slightly pressing down with the primer. The landing site is moistened with a conventional sprayer, and the soil subsequently sinks. Then the cups together with the contents are covered with a film and put in a warm place, where the temperature is + 23 ° C both during the day and at night.
Planting seedlings in open ground
The most suitable season for planting tomatoes is the end of spring, which turns into early summer. At this time, the daytime temperature ranges from +22 to + 25 ° С, and at night it rarely drops below + 15 ° С. It is best to start planting seedlings in open ground in the afternoon. Water the seedlings a few hours before the seedlings. This is to ensure that the tomato sprouts are better removed from the containers in which they are located in front of the seedlings.
Also, do not get the seedlings, if you do not plan to immediately begin to plant it. In this case, the plant may begin to wilt and even noticeably slow down in growth. Before planting, dig small holes to match the size of the cups. Fill the hole with additional fertilizers: humus, wood ash and minerals. Plant the seedlings very carefully so as not to damage the fragile root system - the roots of the plant should be directed downwards. After this, pour and sprinkle the hole with a layer of dry earth.
Optimum timing and landing pattern
When determining the timing of sowing tomatoes, proceed from the fact that during the first 15-20 days after the appearance of the first shoots, tomatoes grow very slowly, because in this period there is a build-up of roots. After that, tomatoes grow noticeably more actively, and after 40 days, the growth of the vegetative mass occurs not by days, but by hours.
Regarding the planting scheme - it all depends on the variety of the seedlings. So, low-growing tomatoes It is recommended to plant at a distance of about 60 cm between the rows and 30-40 cm between plants in the same row. Tall tomatoes planted at a distance of 70 cm between the rows and 50 cm between the plants themselves. It is advisable to plant the tomatoes in a staggered manner. But if you used purchased seeds, then specify the planting scheme. You can find it on the package, which sells seeds of Liang tomatoes.
After what crops is best planted
The most preferred precursors of Len's tomato are cabbage, carrots, legumes, onions, pumpkins, cucumbers, and garlic.
But in any case, do not plant seedlings of tomatoes in areas where previously grew other solanaceous, including eggplant, pepper, potatoes. This should be avoided for one good reason - such plants suffer from the same diseases and are affected by the same pests.
Important! If you are the owner of a small vegetable garden, and you do not have the opportunity to follow the correct crop rotation, and the question of planting the tomatoes after that is very serious, then after harvesting, sow siderata in the garden beds, dig them for the winter, and boldly start planting tomatoes in this place .
Growing early tomatoes Lyan
If landing is planned somewhat earlier, do not forget about reliable polyethylene shelter. The soil for such a seedling should be fertile, but at the same time light and fairly loose.
Watering and feeding the soil
Tomatoes develop well and grow quickly if the soil in which they are grown is saturated with moisture by 85-90%. This can be checked using one simple method - squeeze a lump of earth dug from a depth of 10 cm from the surface. If a lump is easily formed, and when lightly pressed, it crumbles, then this indicates a sufficient soil moisture.
After planting the seedlings in open ground, water them as often as possible and more abundantly. Tomato seedlings are adversely affected by both scarce, rare watering and very frequent, abundant. In the second case, water can reduce the temperature of the soil, and this will adversely affect the ovary of the fruit in the future.
It is very useful to use ashes and fermented nettles for feeding tomatoes when grown in open ground conditions.
Important! Do not forget that in the fruiting season, the plant must be fed 2-3 times with microelements. To do this, take 5 tablets based on humates, chop and mix them in 0.5 liters of water, and then add another 10 liters of water. The consumption of such fertilizer is 1 liter for each bush.
Weeding and loosening the soil
The soil in which tomatoes grow needs regular loosening and weeding. Loosening allows the roots to breathe, and the soil then passes moisture better. Loosening is recommended along with weed removal.
The first loosening is carried out immediately after the transplanting of tomatoes in open soil. Then the procedure is repeated every 2 weeks. To loosen the soil should be at a small depth - about 4-6 cm.
Masking and garter plants: do they need
Tomatoes grown in the greenhouse require regular pasoning. Tomatoes growing in the open field may well do without it. It is often recommended to carry out the pinching in order to get an early harvest. As a rule, 1-2 main stems are left, and the emerging stepchildren are simply removed. If you plan to get a big harvest, then leave all the stepchildren in place. Lyan's tomato is always happy with the ripening of fruits. Already in the beginning of August there will be at least 5-6 ripened brushes on each bush.
Low-growing bushes do not need a garter. If the tomatoes are large and strongly bend the plant, then it must be tied up in order to avoid rotting of the fruit.
Terms of fruit ripening
The term of ripening of tomatoes from the time of sowing the seeds to harvesting is 85-110 days. Since this is an early maturing variety, early ripening of tomatoes leads to an increased demand from buyers.
Did you know? Tomato Lyana is unique in that the fruits are suitable for processing in almost any ripening period.
The variety Liana is truly unique and qualitatively different from other varieties of tomatoes. Most of the dacha owners and farmers, having tried to grow it once, subsequently plant it every year. Maybe you should try it too?
