Tomato Tommy Toe - seed

Lycopersicon esculentum 'Tommy Toe' - organic cherry tomato

DESCRIPTION: Fast growing heirloom tomato producing trusses of super sweet bite-size fruit. Disease resistant variety. Perfect picked fresh from the garden when ripe.  
PLANTING: Spring-Summer and Winter in warmer locations. Sow seeds directly into their final position or seed trays. Prepare soil for final planting with well composted manure. Transplant when seedlings are easily handled, 10-15cm. A full sun location in free draining soil is ideal. For smaller gardens grow bags are perfect, place on a sunny balcony to enjoy a bumper crop.
USE IN: Tommy Toe tomatoes are ideal in salads or gently roasted with a splash of olive oil and garlic.
CARE: Water seedlings daily until established and follow up with regular water especially during dry periods. Pinch out lower water shoots and keep two main stems. Use stakes to support plants and fruit as they mature. Mulch plants and apply liquid fertiliser regularly for best results. Protect plants from frost. If insects are a ever a problem use an organic insecticide like eco-oil which is safe to use on veggies. For the more adventurous home gardeners try companion planting with marigolds or chives, the natural oils help to deter unwanted visitors.
