Tomato Bite Size Seeds

Tomato Bite Size

Tomato Bite Size is red cherry tomato that is easy to grow from seed. This plant is from the same breeding as Sweet Aperitif. Bite Size produces super-sweet fruit. It produces long, moderately branched trusses of fruit weighing about 8 to 12 grams, which stand well on the plant without splitting. It is an indeterminate variety.

Sow the seeds indoors on a warm kitchen windowsill or a greenhouse. Sow the seeds in a pot around 0.5cm deep and cover with a thin layer of compost. Keep the pot well-watered and warm. An ideal temperature of 15 20C is perfect. The seedlings will start to appear after 7 15 days. When the seedlings are large enough to handle transplant them into individual pots. Keep them growing on in cooler but not cold conditions. If the plants get too cold they will stop growing and struggle to get going again.

Plant out into the final location from April onward. They can be planted in large pots, grow bags or direct in the greenhouse. The plant will need supporting and remove any side shoors that form. The top can be pinched out after about 6 trusses.

It is important that tomatoes are given plenty of water, good ventilation, and proper feeding after the first truss has formed.
