Due to its early fruiting habit, it provides a generous harvest throughout summer and into early autumn.

 

Resilient and easy to grow it is well-suited to both novice and experienced gardeners. It benefits from regular feeding and watering to encourage continuous fruit production. This variety is particularly well-suited to outdoor growing but can also thrive in greenhouses or on sunny balconies.

Sow seeds indoors from January to April in seed trays or small pots filled with fine compost. Lightly cover with compost and keep at a temperature of 18-22°C.

Harden off young plants and transplant outdoors after the risk of frost has passed (typically May to June). Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil or plant in hanging baskets and containers for trailing growth. Support is not required, but regular watering and feeding with a tomato fertiliser will encourage an abundant harvest.

 

Tomato ‘Garden Pearl’ is the perfect choice for gardeners looking to enjoy delicious, homegrown cherry tomatoes with minimal space requirements. Its trailing habit, high yields, and exceptional sweetness make it a favourite for patio and balcony growing.
