To grow Large Cherry Tomatoes, you will need:
- Well-drained, fertile soil
- Warm temperatures (70-80F is ideal)
- Full sun
- Seeds or seedlings
Growing Instructions:
-
Prepare the soil by tilling or digging to a depth of at least 8 inches. Add compost or other organic matter to improve the soil's fertility.
-
Sow the seeds or transplant seedlings after all danger of frost has passed. Space the plants about 2-3 feet apart, and cover with 1/4 inch of soil.
-
Water the tomatoes regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
-
Fertilize the tomatoes with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.
-
As the tomatoes start to grow, tie them to a stake or trellis to support the weight of the fruit.
-
Harvest the tomatoes when they are ripe, usually about 70-80 days after planting.
