Preparation Time

 Today I'm going to share with you about, how to grow lovely Tom Tom tomatoes; they are about the size of a cherry. And are very nice in Salads, or even just pick off the vine and eat raw,  and kids will love them, first I have a Hot house, made from thick Clear Plastic, the kind you can use in hot sun, which doesn't crack when hot sun gets on it.

Next I have about 6 Round tubs that I plant one vine in each and then I have a vine climber for the Tom Tom to climb up and they start to grow very quickly, when fed with the right Organic Fertiliser
Which is a combination, of rabbit and chicken manure waste, from the cages, but first it’s put into a compost heap in the open air in corner of Garden.

And its fed to the plants each 14 days, after being planted out and from Plants to maturity, it takes a short time span of about 5 weeks, and because they are a very quick maturing food once they start to be picked, they need picking every week sometimes ever more often and 6 plants will keep a family of 4 to 6 all through summer time all those delicious salads. Until tomorrow happy planting.

They grow a lot better in a hot house, and keep them moist not let them dry out to much, keep feeding them a small amount of good tomatoes food each week and you will have an abundance, for the Summer months. They have such a beautiful taste with them in Salads Well my wife eats them like cherries, and amazingly enough with Arthritis, usually Tomatoes play up with her but the Tom Toms have no effect on her at all .Ok keep planting till next time bye for now.
