Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation: No specific preparation required, but soaking seeds in water for 12-24 hours before planting can help speed up germination.
Sowing:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly into the garden once the soil has warmed to at least 60°F. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays or directly into the garden bed.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 5-10 days under optimal conditions of soil moisture and temperature (around 70-80°F).
Transplanting:
If started indoors, transplant seedlings into larger containers or the garden bed once they have developed their first set of true leaves. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows spaced 36 inches apart. Provide support such as stakes or trellises for the plants to climb if desired.
Care and Maintenance:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged throughout the growing season. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune off any suckers that develop in the leaf axils to promote better air circulation and fruit production. Harvest cherry tomatoes when they are fully ripe and have developed their characteristic color, usually about 70-80 days after planting.
