Planting Instructions for Cherry Tomato Seeds
- Location: Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil.
- When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures are consistently above 50°F.
- Soil Prep: Enrich the soil with compost or aged manure. Ideal pH is 6.0–6.8.
- Sowing Depth: Sow Todd’s Seeds Cherry Tomatoes seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
- Spacing: Transplant seedlings 24–36 inches apart in rows spaced 36–48 inches apart.
- Watering: Water consistently, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease.
- Support: Provide cages, stakes, or trellises to support vine growth and improve air circulation.
- Care: Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks.
- Harvest: Pick cherry tomatoes when they are fully colored, glossy, and slightly soft to the touch. Frequent harvesting encourages continued production.
