A compact trailing cherry tomato variety that produces fruit that ripen from green to a rich chocolate brown colour . Juicy and sweet (typical Brix 7o). Ideal for hanging baskets, window boxes and containers. Fruit: green to chocolate brown, cherry, 12-16 grams.

1. Sowing the Seeds (Late Winter to Early Spring)

• Timing: Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date (typically between late February and April).

• Soil Setup: Fill small seed trays or pots with a high-quality, free-draining seed starting compost. Firm the soil lightly to eliminate air pockets.

• Depth: Plant seeds about 5mm (¼ inch) deep. Drop 2 seeds per cell as an insurance policy, and lightly cover them with compost.

• Warmth & Light: Keep the soil at a steady 18°C to 21°C using a heating mat or a warm windowsill. Germination usually takes 7 to 14 days.

2. Potting On.

• Thinning: Once the seedlings develop their first set of "true leaves" (the ones that look like tiny tomato leaves), pinch out the weaker of the two seedlings if both germinated.

• Moving Up: Carefully transplant seedlings into individual 7.5cm (3-inch) pots when they are large enough to handle. Always hold them by a leaf, never by the fragile stem.

• Plant Deeply: Bury the stem deep into the new pot right up to the lowest leaves. The buried stem will sprout extra roots, creating a much stronger root system.

3. Moving to Final Baskets or Containers

• Hardening Off: In late spring (May to June), gradually acclimate your plants to the outdoors over 7 to 10 days by leaving them out during the day and bringing them in at night.

• The Perfect Container: Move one plant into a 30cm to 45cm (12 to 18-inch) hanging basket or container filled with rich multi-purpose compost.

• No Support Needed: Let the stems naturally tumble and cascade over the sides of the basket. [1, 2, 3, 4]
