cherry tomato

These ultra productive, round, smooth morsels of sweet, tangy tomato flavor typically develop on vigorous, indeterminate vines producing tresses of cherry size or slightly larger fruits. A healthy snack, eat fresh from the vine or in salads, containing high amounts of vitamin C. Many delicious varieties are available in Angelo’s Farm Market, specifically selected for home growers to be productive, disease resistant, and flavorful. Look for ‘Supersweet 100’, ‘Sweet Millions’, ‘Sugary’, ‘Large Red Cherry’, and the award winning ‘Juliet’. Hanging baskets filled with ‘Tumbler’ and patio pots planted with ‘Rapunzel are also available.

Plant in sunny, well-drained, nutrient rich soil or containers amended with organic matter like Petitti Planting Mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1” of water once a week throughout the growing season. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Tomato-tone®. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Stake, cage, or trellis as needed.
