Planting Instructions for Large Red Cherry Tomato Seeds
Start Large Red Cherry tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Plant the Tomato seeds ¼” deep in sterile seed starting mix. Germination occurs in 6-14 days in soil 70-90°F. Once true leaves develop, separate Heirloom / Open Pollinated Tomato plants into 3-4″ pots, placing in full light & cooler temps (60-70°F). Set out hardened off Large Red Cherry transplants, in full sun, once soil has warmed, 18-30″ apart, in rows 3-4′ apart. Plant tall, spindly Tomato seedlings deeper, the stems will sprout roots and support and strengthen the plant. To help prevent blossom end rot, put 1 Tbs of lime, ground oyster shells, or crushed eggshells at the bottom of your planting hole. The calcium will help build strong cell walls once your Large Red Cherry plants start producing fruit. For strong tomato plants, add 1 Tbs of aged compost and 1 Tbs of bone meal to the bottom of the hole as well.

I did not get an abundance of tomatoes like I expected, but the ones I DID get were beautiful and delicious! I would definitely buy these again…and always from St. Clare Seeds!

I grew six of these plants, which produced abundant and excellent-tasting tomatoes. The vines grew to be about nine-feet long. It was easy to save seeds from the tomatoes, and I will plant some of them next year. A word of warning: the plants seem to be a bit more susceptible to cold that other tomato varieties.
