Planting Tips:

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow directly outdoors once the soil is warm enough.
• For indoor planting, use seed trays or pots and place them in a warm, sunny location to encourage germination.
• Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into your garden or containers. Space the plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for proper growth.
• Yellow Currant tomatoes grow best in fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
• Ensure the plants receive full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day for optimal fruit production.
• Water regularly, maintaining evenly moist soil, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Mulching around the base of the plants will help retain moisture and reduce weed competition.
• Provide support for the plants with stakes, cages, or trellises to encourage vertical growth and prevent the tiny tomatoes from touching the ground.
• Fertilize regularly with organic compost or balanced tomato fertilizer for a bountiful harvest.
• Harvest when the tomatoes are golden yellow and firm to the touch. The tiny fruits should be easy to pop off the vine and enjoy!
