Germination: Seedlings will emerge in 10-14 days.
Transplanting: Transplant when sturdy enough to handle, spacing plants 50cm (20”) apart each way.
Growing notes: Water daily, and when the first truss has set, feed regularly. Pinch out any side shoots as they appear. Black Cherry tomato plants prefer a warm sunny position and require staking.
