Cherry Tomatoes

I started with a 6" starter plant, Cherry Tomato from Chef Jeff's. I planted it into a large, deep terra-cotta pot with a tomato cage for climbing in full sun. (right) My cherry tomatoes getting ready for harvest in September 2008.

Growing Tips: Cherry Tomatoes prefer full sun and something to climb however, this variety is a shorter, stocky plant. Plant 2' - 3' apart.

Placement: Grow your tomatoes next to basil and both will grow larger and healthier.

Harvesting: You can harvest your tomatoes throughout the growing season as they ripen. They are a prolific bearer and will mature in 68 days. (right) My Cherry Tomato plant in early October 2007. The tomatoes were very sweet and tasty.
