Sungold Tomatoes

A personal favourite of Gardeners’ Kitchens, Sungold produces high yields of juicy, orange, mini tomatoes bursting with sweetness. Perfect for snacking straight from the vine — once you pick them, they won’t make it back to the kitchen!

Harvest

Roughly 8 weeks after planting — pick when tomatoes are yellow/orange, swollen, and glossy.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: 45cm apart in well-drained soil, a large pot, or grow bag.
• Position: Sunny, sheltered spot; greenhouse is ideal, but can also grow in a conservatory or bright window before acclimatising outdoors.
• Watering: Keep soil moist until established and during dry periods, avoiding waterlogging.
• Support: Train plants using string up to 6 feet, removing side shoots as they grow. Once at the top, allow the plant to hang back down naturally.
• Feeding: Only feed once 3–4 tomatoes are starting to swell.

Top Tips

• Side Shoot Management: Pinch out side shoots to focus energy on fruit development.
• Water Evenly: Irregular watering can cause splitting or poor fruit set.
• Avoid Farmyard Manure: Chemicals in straw bedding can harm your crop.
• Sunshine & Space: Keep leaves clear of fruits to maximise sunlight and airflow for healthier tomatoes.
