This micro tomato proves the point that it's not impossible to grow attractive and productive veggies in relatively small pots. Admittedly, Orange Hat is rather special. There aren't many varieties that grow into tidy little bushes suitable for smaller containers. And when they're in fruit, the masses of orange-coloured cherry tomatoes look for all the world like your plants are wearing "orange hats." They look almost too good to eat, but you absolutely must try them! Choose them for extremely limited spaces, smaller containers or just because you love the rarity value.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Tomatoes are best sown in trays about 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost. Sow seeds about 5mm deep and keep the soil temperature to about 20 celcius until germination. Once the plants have grown their second leaves the seedlings can be transplanted into larger individual pots. Keep the tomato seedlings in a warm sunny position and maintain moisture levels. When planting out, position the plants so that soil covers the entire stem up to the first leaves. This will increase root development and ensure a healthy strong plant. Plants should be placed in full sun and rich soil.

How to Harvest

Tomatoes ripened on the vine will be ready once they show their mature colour. The fruits can also be squeezed and should yield slightly when ripe. If frost occurs and temperatures drop late in the season all tomatoes can be picked. Tomatoes that do not ripen on the vine can be ripened indoors by being placed in a warm place out or direct sun.
