Biting into a sweet, juicy cherry tomato on a summer’s day is hard to beat! They taste so much better fresh, and they should be eaten warm – when the aromatics in them are at their most active, to give the best flavour.
Growing tomatoes is easy and incredibly rewarding – make salads and chutneys, or of course eat them fresh. ‘Tumbling Tom’ is the ideal variety to get started growing your own tomatoes – so easy in hanging baskets, tubs, planters and even window boxes – you will get hundreds of small red cherry tomatoes per plant in summer. Get the children growing them!
They are self-branching, so other than pinching the tip out when you plant, there is no need to do anything else to them, unlike other tomato varieties. Tumbling Tom produces a massive crop of firm, round fruit all summer long – each one packed with sweet, delicious juice. Perfect fresh and in salads.
Care Information
Planting Advice for Tumbling Tomatoes
- Once the plants are 10cm tall, they can be planted in the hanging basket or container, ideally using 1 plant for a 25cm basket or 3 in a 35cm basket.
- Tomatoes can be planted up into their containers from April onwards, and grown on for a couple of weeks before placing outside after hardening off. Cover plants with horticultural fleece on any unexpectedly cold nights.
- Fill containers to within 2-3cm (about 1in) of the rim with moist compost – growing bag compost or our own professional compost is ideal.
- Bury the roots deeply (up to first ?seed? leaves on the stem) and water well, to settle the compost around them.
- Place the containers in a sunny sheltered spot.
Aftercare advice for your tumbling toms
- Water regularly to keep the compost moist – at least once a day in hot weather when the plants grow larger.
- As soon as fruits start to form, feed the plants regularly with a liquid tomato food.
- Remove old leaves as they yellow to let in light and air.
Picking your tomatoes
- Let the fruits get really ripe before you pick them to maximise their taste – the first ones should be ready from the end of July
