Bush tucker trials could refer to Tomatoes grown on bush varieties because they make great ‘tucker’. I love the sweet sharp taste of some of the new Cherry Tomato varieties.<\/p>\n

Quick Tips for Growing Cherry Tomatoes<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Buy a variety like Sweet Million or Gardeners Delight.
\nGarden Pearl has been specially bred by Unwins for growing in containers.
\nBaby Plum Tomatoes are now available in a variety called Sweet Olive.
\nThe Tumblin’ series can be grown in hanging baskets or containers.<\/p>\n

Cultivation of Tomatoes<\/h3>\n

The surface roots take up the fertilizer and nourishment. Encourage them by building soil around the stem.
\nThe tap roots go deep in search of water. Help by making sure you water well into the soil by sinking a pipe or pot near the plant to fill up & make sure the water gets deep down.
\nDo not be too greedy with each plant. Stop them growing when you have 5-8 trusses of fruit by pinching out the growing tips. This channels the energy into your fruit.
\nFeed and water on a regular consistent basis.
\nI still support my Cherry tomato plants with a cane and string.<\/p>\n
