Support Options for Cherry Toms.

The one year that I grew currant tomatoes, I ended up taking a weed eater to it later in the season as it was in the process of trying to take over the whole neighborhood. I didn’t realize at the time just how ridiculously large and rambling they could get. It and your cherry tomatoes will be fine if you keep them trimmed (and it might be a regular chore with your currant).

It made the most amazing tomato soup though once I harvested enough of them, though.

I wouldn’t worry too much about rusting, either. Any rust that falls into your soil will just enrich it with iron, a mineral that tomatoes are rather hungry for.

Good luck
