Chadwick Cherry Cherry Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum

Large fruits for a cherry tomato, these are bright red with amazingly sweet flavor.  Never dull or mealy.  This is one of my favorite tomatoes of all time.  They are just the right sweetness, firm, and satisfying tomatoes to eat.  You can eat them fresh, roast them, or they can sit on your counter for a week and still taste great.  Prolific, disease resistant, and does well outdoors in the northwest.  Developed by the late horticulturalist Alan Chadwick.  Worth trying if you haven't already.  Indeterminate-needs trellis. 

Growing Tomatoes: 

There are entire books and many online resources for starting and growing tomatoes in the Pacific Northwest.  Here is a great link from the Tilth Alliance about growing great Tomatoes in Seattle. The basics?   Start tomato seeds indoors with supplemental heat and light in February and March. Plant when soil has warmed to 60 degrees.  Tomatoes like to grow in compost rich soil.  Stop watering plants in August for sweeter fruits that ripen earlier.
