Tomato Miracle market.

Perhaps, there is no more popular vegetable on our planet than tomato. Many centuries it was considered unfit for food. But from the beginning of the twentieth century, he gained tremendous popularity.

For those who have never seen this "exotic", I can tell you that a tomato is a big berry that can weigh up to 250 g. To date, thanks to the selection work, tomatoes can be painted almost in all colors of the rainbow. They are pink, blood red, raspberry, white, yellow, golden yellow and even ... black. This plant has a branched root system, which quickly forms and leaves far into the ground. Seeds of tomatoes, as a rule, are small, flat, somewhat pubescent, slightly pointed to the base.

For more than a century of history, breeders have produced a huge number of varieties of tomatoes of various species and destinations. One of them is the tomato Miracle market. It was the result of joint efforts of the Poltava Experimental Station and the Department of Vegetable Growing of the same station in Kharkov.

The result of this work can certainly be proud. The bush of the cultivated variety turned out to be determinant, semi-leaning, undersized and rather strongly leafy. He can grow up to 108 cm. His foliage is dark green, stiff. Streaks on the surface of each leaf. The fruits turned out to be flat-rounded, smooth, with a certain resemblance of ribbing near the stalk. The color of tomato The marvel of the market is intensely red. The average weight of each growing fetus fluctuates around 73 g. The fruit itself is very delicate and tasty. The vegetation period, which passes the tomato market Miracle, ranges from 115 to 125 days. However, there are some disadvantages. In particular, it should be remembered that the bush is very unstable to both fungal and bacterial diseases. The yield of tomato market miracle is considered high enough.

The resulting variety of tomatoes is widely zoned. It can be grown in almost any part of the CIS, both in greenhouses and in open ground. It grows especially well in the climate of Ukraine, Moldova, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan and southern Russia.

Tomato The miracle of the market, the reviews on which in the environment of gardeners and truck farmers are very favorable, can be used fresh - for salads, fruit juice, juice, etc. It lends itself well to canning and salting.

For the last operation, as a rule, use a wooden barrel or a tub made of wood. If you decide to make it yourself, you should know that any tree can be used as a material, with the exception of coniferous wood. In the process of pickling, it will give a rather unpleasant smoldering smell to tomatoes. If you live in your own home, you will be able to find a place to store a barrel or a tub with a capacity of 10 to 50 liters. Tara large sizes are used only in large families, because in the process of pickling, the tomatoes near the bottom, becoming soft, will simply be crushed lying on top. For salting in barrels and tubs, the Miracle of the Market also fits perfectly. Tomatoes of this variety have a fairly firm skin, which allows them not to turn into porridge until the moment of consumption.

Before you start pickling, the container is carefully prepared. To do this, it should be washed with hot water with the addition of soda ash (lye), then rinse well with boiling water and then with cold water. The tomatoes themselves should choose those that are just starting to blush. In the process of pickling, they will gain their strength and color. Do not salve tomatoes with signs of a different marriage - cracked, damaged by any disease, or inhomogeneously ripened.
