Grow delicious and sweet cherry tomatoes right on your patio with West Coast Seeds Tumbler Cherry Tomatoes.

Growing Information:

  • Season: Warm season crop.
  • Exposure: Partial shade to full sun for optimal growth.
  • Timing: Start indoors in early spring over bottom heat. Transplant outdoors once nighttime temperatures are consistently above 7°C (45°F).
  • Germination: Optimal soil temperature is 25-35°C (68-95°F). Seeds sprout in 7-14 days.
  • Sowing Instructions: Sow seeds 5mm-1cm (¼-½”) deep. Keep seedlings under very bright light to prevent legginess.

Care Tips:

  • Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Mix finished compost and manure into the soil, and add 1 cup of balanced organic fertilizer beneath each transplant.
  • Support: Use tomato cages to support bush types and prevent sprawling.
  • Watering: Regular watering is vital, but avoid letting the plants sit in water. Stop watering around the end of July to encourage fruit ripening.
  • Transplanting: Space bush transplants 45-60cm (18-24") apart in rows 90-120cm (36-48") apart.

Harvesting:

  • Timing: Harvest when the fruit is the desired color. Green tomatoes can ripen indoors at cool temperatures if they are blemish-free.
  • Method: Pick fruits regularly to encourage continued production.

Pest & Disease Management:

  • Blossom End Rot: Prevent by ensuring even watering and adding calcium to the soil.
  • Late Blight: Use drip tape for watering and avoid splashing the leaves. Apply Bordo Copper Spray regularly in late summer.
  • Flea Beetles: Protect young plants with Floating Row Cover.

Companion Planting:

  • Best Companions: Asparagus, basil, beans, borage, carrots, celery, chives, collards, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, parsley, and peppers.
