Description
"Tommy Toe", a playful nod to its Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) roots, is every gardener's delight. Its fruits are a sight to behold: glossy, red orbs that are just the right bite-size. These juicy delights are sweet and tangy, making them a perfect addition to salads or just for popping into your mouth as you meander through the garden.
Launching your "Tommy Toe" journey? Grab a premium quality potting mix for containers or choose a top-grade soil conditioner for those vege/herb gardens. They're happiest when fed with a tomato-friendly fertiliser during Djilba (early spring). These radiant red wonders are ready for harvest within 65-75 days of planting. Keep in mind; they do like a drink more often during Bunuru (late summer) and might appreciate a little staking as they grow to support their bountiful produce.
