Cherry tomatoes differ from other tomatoes and those differences have to be taken into account. I had a lot of viewers taking my advice on how I grow regular tomatoes and using it for cherries with disastrous results. Lets clear all that up here and show you how to grow cherry tomatoes in containers as well as in the ground.

Congrats on 1 million!
Thanks for sharing
Congratulations on the million. I love this show. I have grown cherry tomatoes in buckets with success, thanks to your show. :))
I grow cherry tomatoes in a 5 gallon bucket and last year my plant grew up over my porch roof.
Congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers ❤❤❤ Love you and your family- both human and animal ❤❤So well deserved for such an inspiring, informative, and creative channel!!!❤❤❤
I used to have bad blossom end rot in my container tomatoes…not anymore. I top the soil with a thick (like 2" thick) layer of degraded straw that forms a matted evaporation barrier over the soil. It works great, even better than pet bedding! No additives needed. 💚
So do you mix the crab & lobster with the kelp? 50-50??
Great video, I really enjoyed watching.
Great info Brian. Trying cherry tomatoes for first time.
Thanks! Question: can you talk about miniature cherry tomatoes? Are they treated differently?
Can I grow my tomato plant in a 5 gallon wicking bucket ?
Have you ever used a pvc pipe with holes drilled to water below the surface?
Thanks for this! I’m in humid NC. Would adding perlite or coir to the growing medium help keep the soil moist?
Gypsum (Calcium Sulphate), Epsom salt (Magnesium Sulphate), …
Great video! I was wondering if just adding EPSOM salts is enough, because its actually MgS04 so maybe when you add Gypsum after that its actually like adding 2x times the sulfate? Thanks in advance
I grew cherry tomatoes in a dark grow bag 2 years ago; they were so good! Unfortunately, I got the starter plant at a big box store and didn't keep the tag to know what kind it was! 😢 I do know that what I bought last year was not as good.
Oh, and I didn't know you were supposed to spread out the legs on those tomato cages! 🤯
Where can I buy seeds for that variety of cherry tomato?
Another excellent video Brian – you think of everything – thank you!
WOW, you hit one million subscribers🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
And my Garden defiantly shirt arrived Wednesday. 🤗
Epsom salt is NOT salt!!!!!! Zero saline in Epsom salt.
I got to ask anyone else having problems with cheery tomatos growing, the jelly bean and the red cherry large fruited my fav but there are very fincky not like there cousin beef master and so on?
Very small steams and leaves so the smallest bump they flop over ugh am I alone with this problem I am on a fixed income so going out and buying some kind of super soil is out of the qustion has to be done on the cheap thanks cheers.
You got your Million congrats
Congratulations on one million subs … Well deserved with your great content…🎉🎉🎉
Set your pots in a kiddy pool you can recycle the water
I water a lot seems and yet my raised beds dry out and won't accept water. What can I do to ammend the soil to hold water better
A tomato video!!! YAY!!! I'm in NY and I have spring fever so bad but it's still cold here. I'm just getting ready to start my tomatoes and peppers in the house. Last year I had a lone cherry tomato that I didn't have room for so I stuck it in my flower bed in amongst the marigolds. Holy cow…it was the biggest, bushiest tomato I've ever seen with hundreds of fruits. No disease whatsoever and it produced until the frost. Guess my flower bed is getting another tomato this year. 😆🍅
I grow my sun gold cherry tomatoes in a big plastic potato bag and tomato cage, works really well and big .
Congrats on 1 M. ❤
Another issue with BER is soil pH.
Another item not discussed is soil sulfur.
I subirrigate my potted tomatoes. No leeching losses and better watering.
I plan on using composting leaves as my mulch.
One million. 🎉😂❤yay! I just bought your book and I’m learning a lot.
Its still cold here in Ireland and currently a NE wind blowing. But temprature is slowly rising; I had 20 C, about 68 F in my poly growing tunnel during the week, so I will be getting some seeds started soon. It might seem a late start but we could have snow turn up out of the blue. We call March the month of many weathers. I saved some Cherrys from last year as they were great and kept well. I intend to grow more tomatoes in my raised beds this year.
I use Egg Shells in the ground / pots for calcium. I wash the shells and dry them over the winter and when I have enough, I grind them to a reasonable size in an old coffee grinder. I sprinkle them around lettuce and it does seem to keep slugs away. They have a very slight citrusy scent which may help. Cinnamon mixed with potting compost helps keep fungus at bay and helps damping off. It also deters quite a few harmful insects too.
Can a tall tomato plant be pruned to make shorter?
Or is that a bad idea?
