Growing tomatoes in open ground is quite difficult.
Adverse weather conditions may cause a decrease in the yield of garden crops.
But you really want to collect a large number of large, bright red, sweet and juicy fruits!
To achieve this result, the following mistakes must not be made.
Exposure to low temperatures
Some gardeners are in a hurry to transplant tomatoes into open ground.
If the procedure is carried out too early, the plant may encounter night frosts.
Of course, this will not lead to anything good. The garden crop will become susceptible to various diseases.
In addition, there will be problems with fruiting. Not as many vegetables will form as we would like.
And the fruits that appear are unlikely to please the summer resident with their taste.
Not enough sun
Placing garden crops in a shaded area is a common reason for reduced tomato yields.
The plant needs sunlight: it is necessary for such an important process as photosynthesis.
If there is not enough sun, it is unlikely that you will be able to harvest many tomatoes.
Low in nutrients
Of course, tomato bushes need various compounds and microelements.
A deficiency of such components in the soil will certainly cause a poor harvest: a garden crop that is faced with a lack of nutrients will simply not be able to form many fruits.
However, you shouldn't overdo it with fertilizers either. Excess nitrogen has a negative effect on the plant.
