Cherry tomatoes are distinguished by their special sweetness and aroma.
How to grow cherry tomatoes
You can grow cherry tomatoes both on the terrace in containers and in open ground.
Choose raised garden beds or containers for growing.
Care from the growing site does not change.
Cherry tomatoes prefer warmth and light.
Therefore, choose a place in the garden that receives at least six hours of sunlight.
Shade is absolutely not suitable for growing vegetables.
As for the soil, it should be well-drained, slightly acidic and loose.
Loam or sandy soil is best. However, in general, tomatoes can grow in many types of soil except heavy clay.
If your garden has a lot of clay, add sand, sawdust and peat moss to the soil.
When planting cherry tomatoes, use a fertilizer designed specifically for tomatoes.
Continue to fertilize the plant throughout the season, following label directions.
When planting, experienced gardeners recommend using fertilizers with a high phosphorus content.
In addition, when planting cherry tomatoes, you can add compost to improve the quality of the soil.
Like all plants, cherry tomatoes need constant moisture. Therefore, keep the soil moist enough to prevent wilting.
However, the soil should not be too wet, as this can lead to rotting of the root system.
Cherry tomatoes typically require 1 to 2 inches of water per week.
The amount of watering may vary depending on weather conditions. For example, such as excessive drought.
