Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Soak seeds or sow them at a depth of 1/8 inch in seed-starting mix. Germination requires consistent warmth; while the minimum is 60°F, catalogs recommend an ideal soil temperature of 70°F to 90°F for best and fastest germination. Keep the seedbed moist and warm until sprouts emerge.
Transplant outside when air temperature is consistently 45°F or warmer, usually 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date. Space plants 36 inches apart in rows that are also 36 inches apart. Choose a location with full sun exposure.
For mild climates only: direct sow 1 to 2 weeks after your average last frost date, when soil temperature has reached at least 60°F. This is not recommended for most gardeners; starting indoors is the safer choice.
Harvest cherry tomatoes when they reach full color and yield slightly to gentle finger pressure. With Cherry Falls reaching maturity in 55 to 65 days, expect your first ripe fruit roughly 8 to 9 weeks from transplant. Continue picking as the plant produces throughout the season; regular harvesting encourages more fruit to set.
