{"product_id":"strawberry-cherry-tomato","title":"Strawberry Cherry Tomato Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eStrawberry Cherry tomato is an original variety from Metchosin Farm—and honestly, one of the best cherry tomatoes we've ever tasted! It offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and produces heavy clusters of small fruits, ranging from single stems to triple clusters. The fruits ripen to a unique and attractive pink hue, bringing as much color to the garden as to the plate. We are particularly proud of this variety, which has become a staple in our seed catalog and trial gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to Grow Strawberry Cherry Tomatoes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis variety grows best in zones 3 to 9, in full sun and rich, well-drained soil.
