Golden Harvest Tomato

What is the plant

Tomatoes are a significant source of umami flavor. The tomato is consumed in diverse ways, raw or cooked, in many dishes, sauces, salads, and drinks. While tomatoes are fruits—botanically classified as berries—they are commonly used as a vegetable ingredient or side dish. Numerous varieties of the tomato plant are widely grown in temperate climates across the world, with greenhouses allowing for the production of tomatoes throughout all seasons of the year. Tomato plants typically grow to 1–3 meters (3–10 ft) in height. They are vines that have a weak stem that sprawls and typically needs support. Indeterminate tomato plants are perennials in their native habitat, but are cultivated as annuals. (Determinate, or bush, plants are annuals that stop growing at a certain height and produce a crop all at once.) The size of the tomato varies according to the cultivar, with a range of 1–10 cm (1⁄2–4 in) in width.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Tomatoes must be watered deeply and regularly. At no time should you let the soil dry out. During the time of fruit development, keeping the soil moist helps to prevent blossom end rot. Overwatering, on the other hand, will cause the cherry tomatoes to split.
Fertilizer
At least two weeks before planting your cherry tomatoes, add 2.5 pounds of complete fertilizer per 100 square feet. Once the tomatoes are planted, they need regular fertilizing throughout the growing season, about every two weeks.
Sunlight
Plenty of sunlight is crucial to successfully grow cherry tomatoes. They need full, direct sun for at least six to eight hours per day.

Soil
The soil for tomatoes needs to be slightly acidic, well-drained, rich, and loamy. To determine the nutrient level in your soil and its pH, it’s important to do a soil test.
Temperature
Tomatoes are highly cold-sensitive. Wait until there is no more danger of a late spring frost and the soil temperature has reached at least have 60 degrees Fahrenheit before planting your tomatoes. And make sure to harden off the seedlings before transplanting them in the garden.
Additional
The green parts of the cherry tomato plant contain a compound called tomatine. This can be problematic when ingested by dogs and cats, although, luckily, only in large quantities.
