Galina Cherry Tomato

Lycopersicon lycopersicum

This popular cherry tomato is well suited for the Northwest grower and has become the standard in small yellow cherry tomatoes to measure others against.  It is one of the earliest to ripen and the last to hang on in September and into October.  The sweet and tangy flavor hits the spot every time!  The plants are super hardy, not fussy, and I’ve never had disease on this tomato. Indeterminate so needs Trellising.   

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.
