Gardener's Delight Tomato
Solanum lycopersicum
A favorite among cherry tomato aficionados!
A German heirloom that bears long clusters of bright red, two-bite cherry tomatoes. Popular the world over, and for very good reason: this variety is extremely prolific, reliable, early, and delectably sweet! Disease-resistant with fruits that ripen without splitting. Some call it "the best" cherry tomato–while the jury is still out on that, it certainly was a favorite in our trials.

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost, then transplant outdoors to indicated spacing after all threat of frost has passed. All tomatoes benefit from staking; indeterminate varieties require it. Prune tomatoes when they reach about 24" high and are starting to produce small suckers. Keep plants from coming into contact with the soil, and water at the roots as often as possible to prevent the spread of soil borne disease. When fruit begin to become fully ripe, harvest every couple of days for the highest quality fruit. At the end of the season, harvest any fruits that have begun to take on color to ripen indoors.
