2017 AAS Edible-Vegetable Winner
Midnight Snack is a unique indigo-type cherry tomato that ripens to red with a beautiful glossy black-purple overlay when exposed to sunlight.
How long does it take midnight snack tomatoes to ripen?
Midnight Snack grows on sprawling indeterminate vines, so it needs to be caged or staked in the garden. I used a five foot tall remesh cage and it has grown over the top of the cage and almost back down to the ground. The tomatoes are ready to harvest approximately 65-70 days after setting out the plants.
How big do midnight snack tomatoes get?
They took all of their 70 days to grow to ripe-red with that beautiful black-purple overlay. It’s easy to see and taste why this tomato was voted a winner by the independent panel of AAS judges. These snack-sized indeterminate tomatoes grow on 5-6 tall vines that definitely needed staking to keep them upright.
When cherry tomatoes are ripe?
Picking Cherry Tomatoes
Pick them when they’ve turned their expected color. When they’re ready, they’ll come away with the gentlest tug. Every day or two in peak season you’ll have more ripe cherry tomatoes to harvest.
How big is a tastiest tumbler tomato?
Add Tastiest Tumbler Cherry Tomato to a hanging basket or container, and enjoy a huge harvest of adorable, delicious, cherry-sized fruit! The semi-determinate vines make it a perfect tomato for smaller spaces or container growing, with plants reaching only 24 to 28 inches tall.
Should I pick my tomatoes before they turn red?
The best time to pick tomatoes from your plants is when they just begin to turn color. First and foremost, it keeps the tomato from becoming damaged from insects, animals, sun-spots, and even wind or summer storms. A ripening tomato is an open invitation to all of the above.
Do you pick cherry tomatoes when green or red?
Harvest time for tomatoes should ideally occur when the fruit is a mature green and then allowed to ripen off the vine. This prevents splitting or bruising and allows for a measure of control over the ripening process.
How red should tomatoes be before picking?
Once the tomato reaches a stage when it’s about ½ green and ½ pink (called the ‘breaker stage’), the tomato can be harvested and ripened off the vine with no loss of flavor, quality or nutrition.
