Plan Bumble Bee Cherry Tomato Mix as a warm-season crop. Start seed in a protected setting when local timing allows seedlings to reach transplant size after frost danger has passed. Provide strong light and avoid keeping the root zone continuously saturated. Use the recorded spacing and add support if the growth habit requires it. Check fruit as it changes color and firmness, then harvest at the stage suited to its intended kitchen use. Seasonal conditions can shift actual maturity.

The plants bear clusters of these bite-sized fruits, creating a visually appealing display in gardens or containers.

Regarding taste, the Bumble Bee Cherry Tomato Mix offers a pleasant balance of sweetness and tanginess.

The flavor profile varies slightly between subspecies, with some leaning towards a sweeter taste while others offer a slightly tangy or citrusy note.

Because this packet contains a mix, component proportions and the number of varieties visible in a small planting will vary. Emergence, growth rate, mature size, color, and harvest or bloom timing can also differ among components and with site conditions. Evaluate the planting across the full season rather than assuming the first seedlings, flowers, or harvest represent the entire mix.

Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Tomatoes love fertile soil rich in organic matter. Add plenty of compost prior to planting. Soil pH is preferred between 5.5-7.0. Soak the soil 4"-6" deep at 7-day intervals.

Planting & Growing: Sow seeds in flats 6-8 weeks before the last frost and thin to 2" apart after the first true leaves appear. Before transplanting after the last frost, harden off the plants by placing them outdoors for a few hours to start, increasing the amount of time each day until they are accustomed to a full day of sunlight.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when individual fruits give slightly under finger pressure; the shoulders may not have changed color yet.
