Product Review

Exceptionally vigorous plants yield hundreds of large cherry-sized sweet-tart-tangy tomatoes on compact little plants throughout the season. The superb flavor won it top billing over 100 other varieties in an Australian taste test. The tiny one-inch, red tomatoes are ready early and excel in sunny window boxes, picnic table centerpieces, and pots. Productive and tasty. Determinate, 60 days from transplant. When grown in pots, this variety only grows 10-12 inches tall and 12 inches across. It may grow a bit bigger when planted in the garden. Can be grown as a potted plant anytime of the year. Good for small gardens, patios, or apartment dwellers. HOW TO GROW: Sprout tomato seeds in small containers 4" or smaller. In-ground germination is not recommended. Use a standard potting mix that is well drained. Start seeds 8 weeks prior to the planned set-out date. Plants should ultimately be transplanted to the garden 1-2 weeks after the expected date of last frost. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in the soil. Cover with soil and water carefully. Over watering can cause fungal growth which leads to seed rot. Excess water can also bury seeds deep in the soil where they will not be able break the surface. Water when the soil surface just begins to dry. Multiple seeds can be planted in a single starter container, but should be thinned once seedlings appear so only a single plant remains. Seeds do not require light for germination but some light source should be provided for seedlings once they emerge from the soil. Soil should be kept consistently warm, from 70-85F. Cool soils, below about 60-65F, even just at night, will significantly delay or inhibit germination. Additionally, overly warm soils, well above 90F, can inhibit germination and provide ideal conditions for seed rot. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70-85F **Height: 10-12 in **Hardiness: Zones 4-9 **Sun Requirement: Full sun/ Part.
