Sowing Instructions:

• Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
• Temperature: Optimal germination occurs at temperatures between 20-25°C (68-77°F).
• • For heated greenhouses, transplant in mid-February.
  • In cool greenhouses, transplant in mid-spring.
  • Outdoors, transplant early June after the threat of frost has passed.
• 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 15-20C (59-68F) until after germination, which takes 7-14 days.

• Potting: When seedlings gain 2 true leaves, transplant into individual 7.5cm (3") pots of compost and grow on at a minimum temperature of 15C (59F).
• Growing On: Continue to grow in greenhouses, pots, or grow bags, feeding after the first truss has set. Pinch out side shoots on indeterminate plants (cordon) to encourage fruit production.

Growing Tips:

• Tomato Orange Cherry plants benefit from strong support, so consider using stakes, cages, or trellises to help manage their growth and to keep the fruit off the ground.
• Regular pruning of suckers (the shoots that grow in the leaf axils) can improve air circulation and focus the plant's energy on fruit production.
• Ensure consistent watering, especially during dry periods, to promote healthy growth and maximize fruit sweetness.

Culinary Uses: These bright, sweet tomatoes are perfect for salads, fresh salsas, and as bite-sized snacks straight off the vine. Their vibrant colour also makes them a fantastic addition to fruit platters or as a garnish for various dishes.

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.

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

Suitable for the Garden, vegetable garden, allotments, borders and containers. 

Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.
