Growing Info

Harvesting: Gardener's Delight' are at the peak of sun-ripened deliciousness when bright red, and have a slight give when gently squeezed.

    Let's just say I don't have dainty hands. These cherry tomatoes are huge! The flavor is good, somewhat mild vs a deep complex flavor.

    Very prolific and such a hardy plant. It's survived scorching sun, a light frost, high winds, and missed waterings. It just keeps on performing.

    Bought these on a whim due to changing up our garden plan last minute and needed an indeterminate cherry tomato. They were great. Prolific plants that germinated well and produced beautiful fruit. They were definitely supersized cherry tomatoes, not sure if they were supposed to be that big or if it was all the soil amendments we put in that bed. Either way, we got a huge harvest and were very pleased with them. We will be growing these next year!

    These were huge cherry tomatoes! They grew fantastic from seed, transplanted to garden well and have grown prolifically. No disease or pest issues, no cracking. I must be spoiled with the Sun Gold though, because these just don’t quite do it for me. But for a traditional red cherry tomato, these are tops.

    I grow several different varieties of cherry tomato every year but Gardener's Delight is a staple in my garden. Even in this year of extreme drought it out produced my other cherry tomatoes. In fact, it's now December 14, and I just picked another basket full yesterday. It shut down during the maximum heat of summer but so did all the rest of my tomatoes. As soon as it cooled down into the 90's it started producing again. You cannot go wrong with this delicious tomato.
