Cherry Tomatoes: The Easiest Plant You'll Ever Grow
TerraCycle Include USAGrowing cherry tomatoes is the best way for newbies to ease into gardening.
Love the idea of growing your own food, but daunted by a brown thumb? Grab a pot and a cherry tomato seedling, and you'll never again wonder how easy it is to garden. Cherry tomato plants are great because, even if you grow just one plant, it will bear a steady crop of bite-size fruits.
- 1 cherry tomato plant (find an organic variety at a farmer's market or nursery)
- 1 tomato cage, the largest size your retailer carries
- 1 20-quart bag of organic potting mix; we like Organic Mechanics
- 1 bottle or bag of organic tomato food; try Terracycle's Tomato Plant Food (a general-purpose organic will do if you can't find tomato food)
- 1 5-gallon plastic food bucket
