Notes
'Cherry Bomb' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Cherry Bomb') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows rapidly, matures in 64 days, and attracts bees.
Pairs well with Excelsior cucumber, Long Island Mammoth dill, and Flashback Mix calendula.
