Grow Sweet, Prolific Snacking Tomatoes from Heirloom, Non-GMO Cherry Tomato Seeds Cherry tomatoes are the candy of the vegetable garden, and these are big, generous ones. Our heirloom large cherry tomato seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) grow into vigorous, sprawling plants that pump out clusters of sweet, bite-sized fruits from midsummer until frost. They are one of the most rewarding and productive things a new gardener can grow. Who it's for Perfect for families, snackers, and beginners. Cherry tomatoes are famously forgiving and productive, so they build confidence fast, and few things get kids more excited about the garden than picking warm, sweet tomatoes straight off the vine. How & when to plant Start the seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost, sowing them about a quarter inch deep in warm soil; they germinate in roughly 6 to 10 days. Transplant the seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, in full sun, spacing plants about 24 to 36 inches apart, and bury the stems deep for strong roots. Growing & care These are tall, sprawling plants, so give them a sturdy cage or trellis at planting. Water deeply and evenly, feed them through the season, and keep picking to encourage more fruit. They love full sun and warm weather and will reward you generously right up to the first frost. Harvest Start picking around 65 to 75 days from transplanting, once the fruits are fully colored and slightly soft. Harvest often, since ripe cherry tomatoes drop or split if left too long, and enjoy them fresh, as their flavor is best straight off the plant. Benefits & uses Large cherry tomatoes are endlessly useful. Pop them whole into salads and lunchboxes, roast them until jammy, thread them onto skewers, or simply snack on them warm from the garden. Their sweetness and productivity make them a summer staple.
