How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple 'Red Cherry' Tomato:

  1. Prepare the Soil:
    Tomatoes thrive in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a sunny location that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. For container gardening, use a high-quality potting mix to ensure strong growth.

  2. Sow the Seeds:
    Start seeds indoors around 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow the seeds 0.5 cm deep in seed trays or pots, and keep them in a warm place to help them germinate. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots.

  3. Transplant the Seedlings:
    When the last frost has passed and the seedlings have developed sturdy stems, gradually harden them off by exposing them to outdoor conditions for a few days. Plant the seedlings 30-40 cm apart in the garden, ensuring they are spaced adequately for air circulation.

  4. Water Regularly:
    Keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering. Water the plants at the base, ensuring the roots get enough moisture. Be careful not to wet the foliage, as this can lead to fungal diseases.

  5. Harvest:
    'Red Cherry' tomatoes are ready to harvest when they are fully ripe, bright red, and firm to the touch. Gently twist or cut the tomatoes from the vine to avoid damaging the plant. Harvest regularly to encourage further fruit production.

Fothergills Oh Sow Simple 'Red Cherry' Tomato is the perfect addition to any garden, whether large or small. With its high yield, delicious flavour, and ease of growth, this variety will bring fresh, homegrown tomatoes to your table all summer long.
