Notes
'Washington Cherry' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Washington Cherry') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. The fruit is ready in about 60 days, and bees visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Fern Leaf dill, Flashback Mix calendula, and Gateway cucumber.
