If summer starts late in your region, and a fresh wind is already blowing in August, it is important to choose varieties that actually have time to produce a harvest.
“Siberian precocious” – one of the most proven. The first fruits ripen 90–95 days after germination. The fruits are small, round, dense. The bush is compact, does not require frequent staking, and grows well in open ground even in cool weather. Resistant to major diseases, including late blight.
“Demidov” – a mid-early variety, but ripens steadily even with short daylight hours. The fruits are fleshy, sweet in taste, and almost do not crack after rain. Suitable for pickling, sauces and fresh eating.
“Brawler yellow” – early, productive, with yellow fruits. Such tomatoes are less likely to cause irritation to sensitive people. The bush is powerful, the leaves are thick, but not prone to thickening. Tolerates temperature changes and humid weather well.
They are easy to care for. Water at the root to prevent moisture from reaching the leaves. Mulch the soil with grass clippings or straw. This helps retain heat and moisture. Feed once or twice a season with nettle infusion or wood ash. Avoid nitrogen fertilizers in large quantities, as they produce tops but delay ripening.
The harvest, of course, depends on the weather. But these varieties provide a real chance to collect ripe fruits even in years when the summer is cold and rainy.
