Description: Scarborough Seeds SEEDS GUARANTEED TO GROW *ALL SEEDS ARE FRESH EACH SEASON AND MAINTAINED IN COLD STORAGE TO INSURE FRESHNESS TO YOU* The most important question to ask when buying seed is: Are the seeds good, will they grow? Nothing is worse than putting in all the work to plant a garden and nothing comes up. All Scarborough Seeds are germination tested and are fresh every season. In addition, they are maintained throughout the season in cold storage, which slows the aging process and assures they will still be fresh when you receive them. They are guaranteed to grow, and we provide planting instructions on every package to help you achieve success with your project.

They won't continue to produce tomatoes after that. By planting multiple plants in intervals a week apart, you can continue to harvest for longer periods.Soil Preference: Well-draining, loose (sandy loam), slightly acidic (6.2 to 6.8), and moisture retaining. Too much nitrogen in the soil may lead to more foliage production and less fruiting. Tomatoes like more phosphorus and potassium than other vegetables.Temperature Preference: Warmer (70-85 F)Germination Temperature: 65-85 FLight Preference: Full SunOther InfoDirect Sow: NoStart Indoors: Yes, start Indoors 7-9 weeks before your last spring frost date.Tomato Type: Cherry - Small round tomatoes that are typically the size of marbles but still smaller than a golf ball.Plant Width: 24 to 36 InchesGrowth Speed: Early - Ready for harvest from about 60 to 69 days (or less, depending on variety) from transplant to harvest. Including time for indoor seed starts, this can range to about 130 days (or less depending on the variety) from sowing the seed to harvest. To have a tomato by the 4th of July, you would have to start seeds indoors from mid to late February and transplant by mid-April at the latest.Pests and Diseases: Resistant to disorders. Common pests known to harm tomato plants, in general, include the tomato hornworm, cutworm, aphids, flea beetles, tomato fruit worms, and whiteflies. Also, watch for common diseases such as blossom end rot, fusarium wilt, powdery mildew, verticillium wilt, late blight, bacterial canker/spot, and tobacco mosaic virus. Most of these can be prevented by maintaining a regular watering schedule and avoiding overwatering. Regularly check your plants for pest damage throughout the season. For treating pest and disease problems, we recommend using an organic neem-based product.Garden Size: Greenhouse, Garden Plot, Raised Bed Tomato Use: Salads, fresh eating, small slicing,etc.Climate Tolerance: Heat, Drought, Humidity, Cold
