Customer Reviews
Everyone gets so excited for these. Is it just because they are teeny tiny? or because they pack a punch of flavor? maybe both. With supports, they are almost to my roofline... I have pushed the exploring branches out of my walkway several times (my fault for not realizing how enthusiastic this plant is!)
Pro tip, DON'T leave a giant bowl of these on the counter if you live alone... it turns out that 15 handfuls of these is more fiber than one belly can handle.
Summer Frittata:
8 Eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
Blanched Broccoli
Fresh Corn
Sweet Pea Tomatoes
Cheddar Cheese
Diced Red Onion
Lightly Sautee red onion. Layer cold blanched broccoli, fresh corn sliced off the cob, these delightful Sweet Pea Tomatoes and the red onion in a pan. Lightly season with a little salt/pepper. Beat the eggs and cream together and pour over the veggies. Top with Cheddar cheese. Bake for 15ish minutes at 400, checking occasionally. Top should be toasty cheese and wobbly but not runny if you shake it. Take out and let cool.
Didn’t get even one tomato. I ordered a transplant and promptly potted it into a 6” pot with new potting soil. The humidity has been extremely high here which was probably a contributor to its quick death. As with all of my plants, I monitor the soil moisture with a meter to prevent over or under watering. I went out one morning and the poor thing was bent over the edge of the pot. It has been a rough spring…too wet. So sad.

Culture
• Determinate tomatoes: grow compactly, sprawling laterally, usually do not require staking, and fruit ripens over a short period of time
• Indeterminate tomatoes: grow on long vines, generally require pruning to 1 or 2 leaders that need to be trellised
• Fertile, well-drained raised beds covered with plastic mulch promote early growth and better yields
• Tomatoes are high feeders and will benefit from regular fertilization with Age Old Bloom
• To prevent blossom end rot use a high calcium amendment
• Overwatering can cause fruit to crack
Direct Sowing
• Not recommended
Transplanting
• Sow seeds in trays 6-8 weeks before anticipated transplant date; up-pot into 3-4 inch pots when the first set of true leaves appears
• Strong light and cooler temperatures (60-70°F) prevent plants from getting leggy
• Fertilize with Age Old Grow every 10-14 days
• When transplanting work in compost, 1/2 cup of TSC's Complete fertilizer, and handful of bone meal
• Determinates can be spaced 18-24 inches apart, indeterminates 24-36 inches apart
• Tomatoes can be buried up to the top 2 sets of leaves
• Use Kozy-Coats or Victorian Bell Cloches to protect young plants
Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Flea beetles and tomato hornworms
• Insect control: Pyrethrin or row cover for flea beetles, and Monterey B.t. for tomato hornworms
• Common diseases: Early and late blight
• Disease prevention: A strict 3-4 year rotation, remove vines at the end of the year, fungicide
Harvest & Storage
• Harvest when fully ripe, do not refrigerate for best flavor
• Green fruit should be ripened in a cool, dark area; make sure fruit are not touching
