Cultivation method

The Yellow Cherry tomato 'Galina' is grown in full sun , in rich, well-drained soil amended with compost . To optimize its growth, start seedlings indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost , then transplant into the open ground once night temperatures exceed 10°C . As it is an indeterminate variety, it requires solid staking or trellising to support its vigorous growth and facilitate harvesting. Spacing of 50 to 70 cm between each plant allows good air circulation and reduces the risk of disease. Regular but moderate watering is recommended, avoiding wetting the foliage to prevent the appearance of mildew. Applying mulch at the base of the plant helps to conserve moisture and protects the roots from temperature variations. Harvest begins in 65 to 70 days , when the fruits turn a beautiful bright yellow color and are easy to detach.
