Title: Cherry Cerise Tomatoes.
Post by: omits on April 08, 2024, 11:39

I've researched the nutrients in tomatoes and see this variety is best for them. Rather expensive to buy and F1 which means I cannot save the seeds. Anyone bought some cheaper? If so where please.

seeds are cheap but not so cheap when you add on postage..

Have 'The Range' got a store near you?  https://www.therange.co.uk/garden/seeds-bulbs-and-propagation/seeds/vegetable-seeds/cherry-tomato-cerise-seed-packet/

I’m growing these from Premier Seeds Direct this year - they’ll be my patio plants for the kids, with my ‘proper’ tomatoes in the greenhouse at the allotment. I haven’t found any indication they’re F1 - where were you looking?

Another confusing thing is that PSD have them listed as determinate while some other suppliers seem to suggest they’re indeterminate  :unsure: . I have a feeling ‘cerise’ may not really be a defined variety, so one supplier of seeds called cerise may well be selling a different variety from the next, as it is just the French word for cherry! That’s just my WAG though…

Interesting, thanks. I will try them anyway. I see they are in sock at my local Range store. Nothing to loose I guess.
