Height: Control by yourself

Cherry tomatoes are ideal for beginners, busy people and small gardens.
The tomato exemplifies all the benefits of home-grown food: it’s fresh, tasty and nutritious. And when you have more than you can eat, you can bottle, dry or freeze the surplus for a year-round supply.

How to grow:
Tomatoes need a frost-free climate and at least six hours of full sunshine each day. A sheltered, well-ventilated position reduces the risk of fungus on leaves. 

Recently limed, compost-rich soil is important to prevent blossom end rot. Crop rotation and freely draining soil are equally important where tomatoes and related crops, such as potato, capsicum and eggplant, are regularly grown. 

Dig soil well and mix a handful of blended organic fertiliser into each planting hole. Sow or plant in mounds or ridges 10cm above the soil surface to assist drainage while reducing the risk of attack by soil fungi. Lightly mulch with hay, straw, lucerne or sugarcane about 5cm deep, and cut off foliage touching the ground. The rambling habit of tomatoes means it’s ideal to grow them on lattice. 

They also look good cascading down from hanging baskets or containers. Cherry tomatoes generally have fewer problems when grown in a climate with low humidity. In cool, temperate or inland climates, sow or plant after the last frost. 

In northern Australia, sow or plant during the dry season. To avoid fungal problems in the wet tropics, tomatoes can be grown in a container. To save the seed, scoop out the pulp from ripe fruit and allow it to ferment for a day. Strain through a sieve, rinsing with water while pressing out excess pulp. Thinly spread the wet seed over squares of paper towel. 

Dry well at room temperature, then cut paper towel into sections, each containing three seeds. Sow one section per 10cm pot. The seeds can be stored in an airtight container for up to four years.
