Description
The cocktail tomato bears countless small, especially sweet fruits and is the ideal snack and balcony tomato. It is more robust and productive than many larger varieties and ripens earlier. Popular varieties include the golden yellow 'Sungold' and the space‑saving 'Resi' for pots.
Care instructions
Start indoors in March on a windowsill, then transplant after the last frost (mid‑May, week 20) to a warm, sheltered spot. Water in the morning at the roots, never over the leaves, and break off sucker shoots when staking. A mulch layer keeps the soil moist and prevents brown rot; harvest fully ripe fruits for the sweetest flavor.
