Botanical Interests Gardener's Delight Pole Cherry Tomato Seeds

Indeterminate means the vines will continue to grow, flower, and produce fruit throughout the entire season until they are killed by frost. Because they grow up to 6 feet or more, you will need to provide sturdy stakes or a trellis to support the heavy clusters.

Yes, these are well-suited for containers, provided you use a large pot—at least 5 gallons—to accommodate the vigorous root system. Ensure your container has adequate drainage and that the plant receives full sun throughout the day.

Cracking often occurs when the fruit takes on too much water at once. To avoid this, you can harvest the tomatoes at the 'first blush' stage—when they just start to show color—and let them finish ripening indoors on your counter.

If you are starting them indoors, sow your seeds 4 to 6 weeks before your planned transplant date. If you are sowing directly outside, wait until 1 to 2 weeks after your last frost date, once the soil has warmed to at least 60°F.

Sow a group of 3 seeds every 24 to 36 inches. Once the seedlings reach about 2 inches tall, thin them out so that only the strongest single plant remains in each spot.
