How to care for tomato Tumbling Tom Red:
Tumbling tomatoes are naturally self-branching and will normally cascade on their own, but can be encouraged by pinching out the growing tip once they reach 25-30cm. Keep well watered and feed weekly with seaweed extract once flowers form. Keep water levels in the soil consistent to prevent blossom end rot and split fruit.
Sowing instructions:
From January to March, sow seeds under glass 0.5cm (¼ in) deep in pots or trays of good quality seed compost and lightly cover. Germination takes 1-2 weeks at 64-70°F (18–21°C). Prick out seedlings, once large enough to handle, into individual pots and transplant to hanging baskets or containers once all risk of frost has passed.
