SOWING:
To get an early start on the growing season start your tomato plants indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost. Plant your tomato seeds 1/4” deep in your seed starting tray flats, cells or peat pots. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination. Be sure to provide adequate lighting for germination and for growing by placing the growing trays near a sunny window or using a grow light. As your seedlings begin to grow you will consequently need to transplant them into individual pots to grow more strongly rooted plants.
A week before transplanting the seedlings outside you need to begin to harden off the plants. They need to get used to the outside weather gradually. Tomatoes cannot handle cold weather. To be safe wait at least a week or two after the final frost to be on the safe side before transplanting your tomato plants in the vegetable garden. Soil temperature should be at least 70 degrees F before planting. Tiny Tim tomato plants should also be planted in full sun, very rich soil and be spaced 24” apart with about 36” between rows.
GROWING
When growing Tiny Tim Tomatoes staking or a trellis is not required as this is a determinate variety and a dwarf small cherry tomato plant. Determinate, or bush type tomatoes, do not require staking. If cool weather is expected protect your plants as temperatures below 55 degrees F can damage plants & production. To keep your tomato plants healthy from various pests and diseases always water below. Lots of issues are usually caused by soil splashing up on the leaves or the vines itself touching the ground.
As with most vegetable plants a good layer of mulch will help conserve moisture and control weeds. When watering your tomato plants avoid getting the leaves wet. As mentioned above this helps keep your plants healthy. You should always water at the base of the plant.
HARVESTING:
The colour of the tomatoes will help indicate that your tomatoes are ready to harvest. You can also test the ripeness of your tomatoes by pressing gently on it, the flesh should yield slightly. You can harvest your tomatoes by hand or use a pair of scissors to cut them off the vine. Tomatoes ripened off the vine have the best flavour. Tiny Tim tomatoes are ready to harvest in about 60 days.
