Tomato Cherry Gardeners Delight Seed
Lycopersicon - lycopersicum
$1.69

Item #0052

Gardeners Delight (also known as Sugar Lump) is quite possibly the best tasting little tomato in the world. Several reviews proclaim this variety as the best flavored cherry tomato. Its sweet taste makes it delightful for snacking while you are gardening or for eating fresh in salads. Growing in long clusters of 6-12 fruits all summer long, you will hardly be able to resist popping one in your mouth each time you walk by. Even though the plants are indeterminate, the plants may be grown in containers on a sunny patio, deck, or balcony. As the plants continue to grow until fall frost, they will likely require a stake, small cage, or some sort of support. This packet plants: 15 plants (after thinning).
When to plant outside: Generally started indoors, tomatoes can also be directly seeded outside! Sow in spring, after the average last spring frost and when soil temperatures reach 60 degrees. In warm winter/hot summer areas of the south, southwest, and parts of California, they can also be planted in early fall for winter harvest.
When to start inside: 6-8 weeks before the average last spring frost.
Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: when planting seedlings outside, bury the roots and stem up to the first set of leaves horizontally. Curve the stem above the ground to a vertical position. The stem will sprout roots and develop a strong root system.
Container Tips: Gardeners Delight tomatoes can be grown in a two to three-gallon container (or larger) with a cage or stakes to support vines, or in a large hanging basket. One plant per container.
