Lycopersicon esculentum
A cherry tomato with full flavor, not just sugar-lump sweetness. This strain was a favorite of Alan Chadwick, the British master gardener who introduced the French Intensive method of gardening to the USA. Camp Joy plants produce continuous harvests. Stake the strong-growing vines to support their heavy load of 2.5 to 4cm full-flavored fruits. Enjoy these year-round by slicing some in half and drying them for naturally sweet snacks. Indeterminate. Fruits ripen about 65 days from transplant. Plant is 1.8-2.4m high & disease resistant. Only a killer frost can fell this strong runner. If you want to try just one cherry tomato, this is the one.
Sow in a good mix of soil and lightly cover – keep moist but not wet. To transplant, plant deeper, up to the 1st set of true leaves, this increases rooting & speeds maturity. keep fertilized & evenly watered.
