Product description
Tomato 'Gardener's Delight' is a beloved cherry tomato variety, well-known for its small, sweet fruits that are packed with rich, tangy flavour. These bite-sized tomatoes are ideal for snacking, salads, and garnishing dishes, making them a favourite among home gardeners. 'Gardener's Delight' is an indeterminate variety, meaning it continues to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season. This makes it a fantastic choice for those looking to enjoy a continuous supply of delicious, fresh tomatoes straight from the garden.
To cultivate Tomato 'Gardener's Delight', sow the seeds indoors from February to April, planting them 0.5cm deep in seed compost. Place the seed trays in a warm, well-lit area to encourage germination. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors or into a greenhouse, spacing them 45cm apart. This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, which is essential for producing abundant crops. By following these planting instructions, you can ensure a healthy and productive tomato plant.
Caring for Tomato 'Gardener's Delight' involves regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist, particularly during dry spells. Support the plants with stakes or tomato cages to manage their climbing habit and keep the fruits off the ground. Feeding with a balanced tomato fertiliser will promote vigorous growth and maximise fruit production. With proper care, you can enjoy a generous harvest from July to October, making 'Gardener's Delight' a rewarding addition to your vegetable garden.
