Chocolate Cherry Tomato Seeds

Chocolate Cherry Tomato Seeds

Second Round

These were a family favorite last year and I tripled my number of plants for this year to keep them coming. They are delicious. I purchased again because I wanted to make absolute sure we had some of the same amazing tomatoes we did last season from Pepper Joe's. However, I also bought some from a competitor to make sure they germinate and taste the same. If they do, I'll switch. I wish Pepper Joe's packs came with more seeds to keep up with competitors. I do like the company overall.

Difficult to get sprouted

As a caveat: I am a new gardener just learning the ropes on my own. I found the tomato and chili pepper seeds very difficult to sprout in my climate (zone 7a) in May. They took several weeks to sprout with a heating mat, and then the sprouts died quickly when I transferred them to the "greenhouse" of my parked car. I'm still grieving the loss of the bulk of my Pepper Joe seed purchase that passed on in this way. For the chocolate cherry tomato seeds in particular, there were enough seeds in the packet that I only used half the first time, and I am trying again to sprout them. Maybe I'll provide a followup, if I can get them to survive their sprout phase.
