Tomato - Cherry Camp
Tomato - Cherry Camp
Originates from the Andes and cultivated in Central America. Suppresses couch grass, high in vitamin C, companion to parsley. A cherry tomato with full flavor, not just sugar-lump sweetness. This strain was a favorite of Alan Chadwick, the British master gardener who introduced the French Intensive method of gardening to the USA. Camp Joy plants produce continuous harvests. Stake the strong-growing vines to support their heavy load of 2.5 to 4cm full-flavored fruits. Enjoy these year-round by slicing some in half and drying them for naturally sweet snacks. Indeterminate. Fruits ripen about 65 days from transplant.
Prefers open sunny positions. Water in furrows rather than overhead to reduce disease, declines if waterlogged. Does well on light to heavy soils with good drainage, high organic matter and phosphorus.
