Size

Solanum lycopersicum

Garden Delight is a prolific cherry tomato producing bright red fruits approximately 20–40 mm across in long, attractive trusses. Exceptionally sweet and juicy, the fruits have earned the variety a strong reputation for flavour and it has performed particularly well in British tomato taste tests.

The small fruits are excellent eaten straight from the vine and are equally good in salads, lunchboxes, bruschetta or roasted whole. The first tomatoes begin ripening relatively early, followed by a long and productive harvest.

Plants are vigorous and indeterminate, continuing to flower and set their long trusses throughout the season. Regular picking encourages continued production, while sturdy staking or trellising helps support the heavily laden vines.

Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing

Sow approximately 5 mm deep into seed-raising mix or directly where conditions are warm. In cooler climates, seed can be started indoors approximately five weeks before transplanting after the last frost. Best soil temperature for germination is approximately 16–35°C.

Space plants approximately 40–60 cm apart with 60–150 cm between rows. Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil and provide sturdy staking or trellising for the climbing vines. Water at soil level where possible and avoid waterlogged conditions.

Maturity: approximately 65 days to first fruit, followed by an extended harvest.

Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
