Cherry Tomatoes

Cherry tomatoes are small, flavorful tomatoes known for their sweetness and versatility in culinary uses. They are perfect for salads, snacking, and garnishing dishes. 

Care Instructions for Sowing and Planting:

• Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use well-draining soil and plant seeds 1/4 inch deep.
• Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost when they have grown to about 3 inches tall.
• Sunlight: Cherry tomatoes thrive in full sunlight, so ensure they receive at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply at the base of the plant to encourage strong root growth.
•  Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer once a month to promote healthy growth and fruit production.
•  Support: Provide support such as stakes or cages to help the plants grow upright and support heavy fruit clusters.
•  Pests and Diseases: Monitor for pests like aphids and diseases like blight. Use organic pest control methods and ensure good air circulation around plants.
•  Harvesting: Harvest ripe tomatoes as they turn fully colored and slightly soft to the touch. Enjoy fresh or preserved in various culinary dishes.

By following these care instructions, you can cultivate healthy cherry tomato plants and enjoy a bountiful harvest in your garden.
