Let's consider each item in more detail.

Unpretentious cultivation

Anastasia tomatoes do not need special care during the entire growing period. The variety is resistant to temperature extremes, tolerates a lack of moisture in the soil, which makes it very popular and ideal for growing, especially in open field conditions.

Good growth and development of the plant, even when sown on poor chemical soil

This property of a tomato can be partially attributed to its unpretentiousness. Tomatoes of this type are able to develop and form even on very poor and poorly fertile soils, as well as give a rich harvest.

Resistant to most common tomato diseases

"Anastasia" is a hybrid variety, therefore it has their characteristic feature of resisting most common diseases. This property is inherent in the plant at the biological level, therefore it manifests itself brightly.

High yield

Another characteristic of hybrids is high yield. The branches of the plant form many clusters, richly covered with small and medium-sized tomatoes.

Of the disadvantages of the variety, only the difficulty with the garter of the plant trunk can be noted. Since the bush is small in size, and the brushes are quite weighty, in order to prevent the bunch from breaking and the death of the tomato, it is necessary to tie the branches with fruits to the support in a timely manner.

Features of growing and care

The process of growing and caring for the Anastasia tomato variety consists in the sequential implementation of certain stages.

Initially, the seeds are sown in the ground. After the first 2-3 true leaves appear on the shoots, the plant dives. The cut bushes are placed in a well-lit and warm place for further growing seedlings.

Advice! Tomato seedlings need careful care. It needs to be regularly watered, fertilized, turned 1-2 times towards the sun to prevent the main stem from bending.

Planting seedlings in the ground or greenhouse must be carried out after the retreat of spring frosts. It is best to carry out the planting procedure in pre-heated soil so that the seedlings experience minimal stress during planting and develop better in the future.

Subsequent care of the tomato variety "Anastasia" consists in regular and timely watering of the plant, weeding and loosening of the soil, especially after watering, top dressing.

Advice! When growing tomatoes in greenhouse conditions, to prevent the appearance of late blight and rot of leaves and fruits due to high humidity, soil mulching should be carried out.

Dry cut grass is ideal as mulch.

To obtain a rich harvest, as well as to extend the fruiting period, it is necessary to collect tomatoes that have reached their biological maturity in a timely and regular manner (at least 1-2 times a week).

Diseases and pests

Among the main diseases that tomatoes are susceptible to, there are:

late blight;
tobacco mosaic virus.

The variety "Anastasia" is hybrid, therefore, from the description of the main characteristics it can be seen that it has a kind of immunity against the above diseases. However, the ability to resist disease does not mean that the plant cannot become infected at all. The likelihood of the appearance of the disease is always, albeit insignificant. Most often, according to reviews, weak plants or tomatoes that are grown in violation of the basic agrotechnical characteristics are at risk of infection.

To prevent the appearance of signs of a particular disease, you should organize proper care of the plant and regularly conduct a visual examination of each tomato bush.

Growing the Anastasia tomato variety will bring maximum pleasure to any gardener. The plant will generously reward you for the care and energy invested with a rich harvest of beautiful, juicy, tasty and aromatic fruits.

Irina Petrovna, 56 years old, Kerch

I plant tomatoes on my site annually. I really like them for their great taste and versatility. The weather conditions in my climatic region are very good for a tomato. I grow different varieties directly in the open field, that is, in the garden. Plants always delight me with a rich harvest. This year I have planted a new hybrid variety. I liked it from the photo on the package and the name. Tomato seeds with the wonderful name "Anastasia" were just asking for hands. I was very pleased with the cultivation of this variety. The harvest was enormous. Ripe tomatoes were used for making salads, as well as for seaming for the winter. I will definitely plant the variety again next year.

Ivan Petrovich, 62 years old, Postavy, Vitebsk region, Republic of Belarus

I am a military pensioner. Growing vegetables and fruits in a summer cottage for me today is a favorite pastime. I especially enjoy growing tomatoes. I try to update my varieties every year and replenish the collection with new, more productive varieties. Last year I planted Anastasia tomato. The seeds have sprouted well. The seedlings have grown strong. I planted the plants in open ground. Summer was not particularly pleasing with warm weather and I had already decided that I would not see the harvest from these tomatoes. As it turned out, I thought so in vain.In June, flowers appeared on the bushes, and then an ovary. Soon the fruits were formed, which, to my surprise, ripened quite quickly and amicably. The harvest was excellent. The palatability of the fruit is excellent. I recommend it to everyone as an unpretentious, low-maintenance and high-yielding variety.

Olga Romanovna Klyueva, 46 years old, Osipovichi, Republic of Belarus

I would like to share my experience in growing Anastasia tomato variety. I have been planting these tomatoes for several years in a row. The result is always excellent. These tomatoes are not afraid of anything, no wind, no drought, no dampness. The yield is good in almost any weather. Of course, it is slightly lower in a cold and rainy summer compared to a sunny and warm period, but still there are enough tomatoes. I mainly grow tomatoes for canning and direct consumption raw. I also prepare salads, sauces from ripe fruits, add to the first and second courses. I really like the Anastasia variety not only for its yield, but also for its excellent taste.

Sergey Iosifovich, 56 years old, Saratov

I really like to tinker with tomatoes on my site. I regularly update varieties. This year I decided to try to grow a hybrid. A neighbor in the country has been growing hybrid varieties for several years, but I still did not dare. At first, I didn't really believe in what was written on the seed package. I specially planted the seedlings in the garden in order to reliably check all the promises of the manufacturer. To my surprise, the seedlings grew together and soon pleased me with the first flowers, and then the fruits. The tomatoes ripened quickly. There are a lot of tomatoes on one bunch (4-6 pieces). They are small in size. Good taste. From one bush, I got an average of 6-7 kg of mature vegetables. I have not experienced any problems with the occurrence of late blight, rot or viruses. They simply weren't there. This fact turned out to be very important for me. Summing up all of the above, I want to note that the manufacturer has fully fulfilled the promises stated on the packaging. Only positive emotions and the best recommendations for Anastasia tomato from me.

Irina Denisovna, 64 years old, Yaroslavl

Tomatoes "Anastasia" once and for all completely changed my view of the traditional cultivation of tomatoes. Never before I could not even imagine that from one small bush, you can collect a whole ten-liter bucket of fruits, and even with a slide. With this variety of tomatoes, my old dream of getting a rich harvest has come true. Now, effortlessly and with minimal effort, you can enjoy a rich harvest of juicy and aromatic tomatoes. I have enough of them for everything: eating raw, preparing salads, sauces, ketchups, for salting and pickling, making various seamers for the winter. It is not at all necessary to plant a large number of plants. For my family of five, ten bushes were enough. This property of the variety helped me significantly reduce the total area of tomato planting and thereby provide an opportunity for planting other plants, which is important, especially in a sharply limited cultivated area. Only my very best recommendations for the Anastasia variety.
