What distinguishes this variety
Pokusa is a variety with continuous growth (indeterminate) – the bush grows and fruits as long as the weather allows. The shoots are flexible, with a loose habit, so they require staking and training on 2–3 stems. In return, you get clusters of 15–25 fruits that ripen gradually from June to October.
Cultivation step by step
Sowing (mid-March – early April, under cover): sow seeds in trays or pallets at a temperature of 22–25°C. Germination occurs after 7–14 days. Prick out at 10 × 10 cm spacing after the first pair of true leaves appear.
Planting (second half of May): after the frost has passed, in the ground or in pots (min. 10 l) spaced 60–70 × 50–60 cm. Sunny location, fertile soil.
Training: insert stakes immediately after planting (min. 1.5 m). Train the plant on 2–3 main shoots, regularly remove suckers (side shoots from leaf axils). Tie up every 30 cm.
Care: water regularly at the root, fertilize with tomato fertilizer every 10–14 days. Watch out for tomato blight – remove lower leaves, ventilate the crop.
Usage
A classic for whole pickling – cherry tomatoes fit perfectly into jars. Great as a decoration for salads, snacks on a cheese plate, as an ingredient in skewers, for baking in the oven with olive oil and herbs (then for pasta). Small fruits ripen gradually, so the bush provides fresh tomatoes until October.
Gardener's tip
Cherry tomatoes have much thinner skin than large varieties – they crack with sudden changes in humidity. If after a long drought you start watering the bush abundantly, most fruits will crack. Rule: water regularly and evenly. In heat, better to water half as much twice than once a lot, to maintain moisture at a constant level.
