Care & Harvest

🐝 Pollination: Tomatoes require pollination. Flowers develop 4-6 weeks after sprouting. Remove the first set of flower buds that grows to encourage root and foliage development. Hand-pollinate flowers by gently shaking the entire plant, or gently swirl the inside of blossoms with your finger or a small brush.

✂️ Pruning: This determinate variety of tomatoes only requires light pruning by snipping away yellow or brown leaves if they appear. Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod.

⭕ Support: Use a Plant Belt to support the plant and fruit as they mature.

🔎 Plant Health: Fruiting plants may be prone to a variety of pests, but not to worry! Learn how to identify common pests and get our prevention and treatment tricks to keep pests at bay.

🍅 Harvest: Wait to harvest until the fruit are soft and evenly yellow in color. Be sure to pick Cherry Tomatoes just before they look “perfectly ripe” or they can crack if left on the plant. To harvest, twist the tomato until it snaps off or use garden shears to snip at the fruit’s individual stem.

Quick Facts

ORIGIN

Yellow Cherry Tomatoes are a hybrid variety selected for their standout flavor and compact plant size. Hybrid plants are grown by cross-pollinating different varieties, resulting in an array of unique shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors.

QUALITIES

This compact, “dwarf” tomato variety is larger than our standard Cherry Tomatoes but will still fit perfectly on your Gardyn. This yellow variety produces masses of incredibly sweet, 1-inch round fruits that ripen to a bright, golden-yellow color. While yellow tomatoes do not contain the antioxidant lycopene and quite as much vitamin C as red varieties, they do contain high amounts of folate, iron, phosphorus, potassium, niacin, and zinc.

USE

It’s tough to do anything other than enjoy these flavor-packed tomatoes right off the vine, but they are also a great addition to salads or as a topping to pasta, pizza, and much more!

How To Cook Yellow Cherry Tomato

Gypsy Plate – Cherry Tomato Confit

INGREDIENTS

24oz cherry tomatoes
8-10 garlic cloves
1/2 cup good quality extra virgin olive oil
4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
6-7 fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450°F.
In a single layer, place cherry tomatoes and garlic cloves in a baking dish. Pour extra virgin olive oil into the dish all over the cherry tomatoes. Nestle the herbs into the tomatoes, and season everything with kosher salt and pepper.
Bake for 15 minutes. Take it out and give it a stir and bake another 5-10 minutes. This final time would depend on your oven. The confit is ready when the tomatoes are soft, the skins are wrinkly, and just beginning to burst here and there.
Once they’re cooked, let them cool completely in the oil at room temperature before storing.
