Red Cherry Tomato Seeds (F1 Hybrid)

Cherry tomatoes are one of the more rewarding crops for a balcony precisely because a single staked plant can keep producing over weeks rather than giving you one harvest and being done. This F1 hybrid is bred for home growing, and the small, sweet fruit works for snacking straight off the plant as easily as it does in salads or a quick pan sauce. If you've grown vegetables in containers before, tomatoes are usually the plant that convinces people the whole balcony-garden thing is worth the effort. Sow shallow — just 0.5 cm deep — and keep the soil evenly moist rather than letting it swing between wet and dry, which matters more for tomatoes than for most vegetables here. It needs full sun, 6-8 hours a day, and a stake or trellis once it starts putting on height and fruit weight. Spacing at 45-60 cm apart works well for a decent-sized pot, and harvest begins around 70-80 days from sowing, putting it in the middle of this batch's timeline.
