Not every summer resident can boast that his tomatoes produce a harvest right up until the frost: this situation does not happen very often.

However, achieving this result will not be difficult.

What actions need to be taken right now

Tops

If you want to harvest a bountiful tomato crop for as long as possible, don't forget to pinch off the tops.

The manipulation is carried out in August.

Foliage control

It is important that all nutrients go to fruiting. Therefore, it is recommended to remove side shoots, excess foliage and too "fat" branches.

Tobacco dust

In order for tomatoes to please you longer, you need to protect them from possible diseases. The simplest and most accessible way is to use tobacco dust.

You will need to take half a glass of the product and put it in a saucepan with two liters of water. After boiling, reduce the heat and cook the product for ten minutes.

Then we wait 24 hours. For one liter of concentrate, we take the same amount of water.
