Tomato – Large Red Cherry

Heirloom.
Introduced back in the 1880’s the plants produce an abundance of bite sized round red fruits that are very sweet and delicious. Excellent in salads, eaten as snacks, cooked, pickled, and in relish. The plants are prolific and vigorous. Indeterminate. A wonderful selection.
Sowing: Begin indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost, sowing seeds 1/8 of an inch deep. Or direct sow outside after all danger of frost. Provide light after emergence. Keep soil moist during germination. Harden off before transplanting outside. Planting in full sun, transplant by setting the plant deep, up to the first true leaves by digging a deep hole. Transplant carefully, avoid disturbing roots. Water thoroughly.
Germination: 7-10 days Spacing: Between plants space 18-24 inches apart. Beween rows space 24-36 inches apart
Moisture: Keep well watered. Days to Maturity: 70-75 days
Soil: Fertile, well drained soil. Light: Full sun
Care information: Cultivate shallowly or mulch to control weeds and retain moisture. Plants should be staked or caged to support the branches and keep the fruit off the ground. Harvest by picking when the fruit is fully ripe. If danger of frost happens in the fall, covering the plants may help extend the harvest season.
