grape tomato

Grape tomatoes are similar to cherry tomatoes in vigor and being ultra productive, but they produce an oblong, grape size fruit that are super sweet, firm, and slightly less juicy than the cherry types. 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 ‘Cupid’ and ‘Napa Grape’.

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.
