Heirloom tomato «Vishenka»
Find a large, lovely container and grow the biggest and best crop of cherry tomatoes you've ever seen with Vishenka, a new determinate (we'll explain that in a minute!) variety bred just for growing on the patio!
This dwarf plant has super-sturdy stems that simply hang with bright red 1- to 1¼-ounce fruit! The yields are nothing short of amazing -- if you grew a full-sized cherry tomato plant, chances are you wouldn't get a crop this heavy! So you not only save space, you equal or increase your delicious results!
Vigorous and well-branched, Vishenka fills any container nicely, spilling over the sides with the abundance of its fruit. Part of the reason for its big crops is great resistance to cracking--you won't lose fruit from splitting open early!

Planting Tips for Heirloom Tomatoes
Most gardeners want to get the most out of these delicious heirloom tomatoes and therefore give them a head start on the growing season. Start these vegetable seeds indoors in sterile potting mix being sure to keep the temperature above 70 degrees. Some people prefer to use a grow pad but the top of the fridge has been known to be quite effective as well.
Once the first true leaves appear on your tomato seedlings, transplant into 4" pots until you have completely hardened them off in the garden. Hardening is a process of exposing the plants more and more to outside temperature until they are hardy enough to tollerat a complete outdoor move. Generally speaking, by early summer heirloom tomatoes should be transplated into the garden.
Most heirloom varieties are quite productive and will greatly benefit from sturdy supports. It may also be advisable to add blood and bone to the worked soil to help ensure healthy productive heirloom tomatoes.
Seed Care tips for Heirloom Tomato Seeds
Heirloom seeds are hardy but always take care with your garden seeds to give them the appropriate amount of moisture - not letting the vegetable seeds dry out prematurely or overwatering and possibly having them rot.
