Solanum lycopersicum
Summer
Uses, Lore, Origins, and Other Miscellany
• Sun Gold’s are known for their intense fruity flavor.
Exceptionally sweet, bright tangerine-orange cherry
tomatoes start yielding early and bear right through
the season. Traditionally perennial plants, grown as an
annual in our region, as the frost will kill the plant.
Determinate varieties grow for a while, then fruit for a
4 to 6 week period, after which they are pulled from
the ground. Indeterminate varieties fruit indefinitely
while at the same time growing.

Planting
SI
Transplant after last frost.
Space seedlings 18” apart.
If the seedling is leggy, dig
HO a trench about 2 ½ inches
TP deep, and lay the seedling
on its side in the trench so
that the cotyledons (the
two bottom leaves) are
just above the soil surface.
Sprinkle compost or
organic fertilizer into the
trench and fill it in. Pinch
BH
off the cotyledons. Water
with fish/kelp solution.
Harvest
As tomato fruits mature,
they soften and develop
their color (be it red,
orange, yellow, or purple).
Gently pull them from the

Care
Feed with fertilizer
(compost is best), and
avoid overhead watering
to prevent common
diseases such as Blossom
End Rot, Early Blight and
Late Blight. Use row covers
to protect young seedlings
from Flea Beetles and
White Flies. In early June,
remove small suckers
developing on the crook of
the branches. Plant will
need to be tied to the
trellis every week or so.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place
(not in the refrigerator)
away from direct light. Will
keep for up to one week.
Tomatoes give off ethylene
as they ripen. Keep them
away from other fruits/
vegetables that are
nearing peak ripeness.
