Nutritional Information
Cherry tomatoes are a fantastic source of hydration and concentrated nutrition. They are an outstanding source of Vitamin C and Vitamin A, and the bright red colour ensures they are rich in the powerful antioxidant lycopene. Their inherent sweetness makes them the easiest and most delicious way to boost your daily intake of vitamins.
What you need to know to Plant & Grow
This tomato variety requires an early start indoors and support for maximum production.
-
Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost date. Use a peat moss-based growing mix.
-
Germination: The temperature of the seeding mix should be 21°C to 24°C for prompt germination, which occurs in 10 to 14 days.
-
Seedling Care: When the seedlings are 4 cm high, transplant each into individual pots, reducing the temperature to 15°C to 18°C until planting outside.
-
Transplanting: After hardening off, transplant into well-drained organic soil in late May. Space the plants 60 cm apart (for semi-determinate varieties).
-
Culture: Tomatoes need warmth, direct sunlight, and a steady supply of water. Staking is essential for this tall variety to handle its massive crop. Apply water to the soil rather than showering over the plants.
-
Soil Management: It is very important to keep plants evenly watered as fluctuations in moisture can lead to problems like fruit cracking and blossom end rot. Apply a mulch of straw around plants to protect them from soil-borne diseases and help conserve moisture. Rotate the crop position every year, waiting three years before using the same patch.
