Tomato Chadwick Cherry (25) Vegetable/Fruit Seeds

Chadwick Cherry Tomato Seeds. Heirloom, Non-GMO. 70-90 days. Possibly the best overall Cherry Tomato, selected by English horticulture genius Alan Chadwick.  Has indeterminate vines up to 5 ft. Unforgettable flavour, is highly productive, and rare.

Chadwick produces large sized cherry tomatoes early in the season. The flavour of the bright red tomatoes are superb, sweet, juicy and tender. This tall growing variety is very productive and has good disease resistance.

Sow seeds on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed sowing mix and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place seed trays in a propagator at a constant temperature of around 15-20°C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-14 days. When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15°C (59F).

When growing in a heated glasshouse tomato plants may be transplanted at the end of May or when the first flowers are showing, if earlier. Allow 3 plants per grow bag, or one per 25cm (10") pot, or plant tomatoes directly into the greenhouse soil.

When growing tomatoes outdoors, wait until all risk of frost has passed before transplanting tomatoes. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting out from early June when tomato plants are 20cm (8") tall. Choose a sheltered position in full sun on fertile, reliably moist, well-drained soil, and transplant at a distance of 60cm (24") apart. Drive a (5') cane into the soil adjacent to each plant to support them as they grow, and tie each main stem to its support with soft garden twine.
 

Harvesting:
Pick as soon as the fruits are ripe, this also encourages the production of more fruit. Harvest all the fruit as soon as frost threatens and ripen on a window sill.
 

Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers. Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per grow bag when 20cm (8in) high. Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed

Regular feeding is recommended.
