How to Sow and Plant
+
Sow cherry tomato seeds indoors from late February to April at around 20°C in seed trays. Once seedlings develop their first leaves, carefully prick them out into individual peat or terracotta pots. Plant them outdoors in a sheltered, warm spot or in a greenhouse starting in early May. Place plants in a sunny location and space them adequately to allow good air circulation. For cluster harvesting, pinch out the growing tip after 3 to 4 flower clusters form and regularly remove side shoots from leaf axils while they are young to encourage healthy development.
Provide your cherry tomato plants with plenty of sunlight and maintain a consistent temperature for optimal growth. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging to prevent root issues. Support the plants with stakes or cages to keep clusters off the ground and promote air circulation. Prune side shoots early to focus energy on fruit production, and pinch the top when 3 to 4 flower clusters appear to encourage bushier growth. Fertilize periodically with a balanced tomato fertilizer to enhance sweetness and yield throughout the summer harvest period.
