WEST COAST SEEDS TOMATO CHERRY SWEETIE

  • CERTIFIED ORGANIC! Sweetie Organic cherry tomato seeds are highly adaptable to adverse growing conditions and plants are well tolerant of cool, wet conditions.
  • A winner in flavour among the early red cherry varieties, theys have a unique, rich, sweet flavour and can be used for juice and preserves without adding sugar.
  • Sweetie cherry tomatoes average 12-14% sugar content!
  • Vigorous, indeterminate vines reach1.8 meters (6') long and require staking. Highly productive, with a long harvest window, the plants bear generous clusters of 15-20 juicy cherry tomatoes 2.5-3.8 cm (1-1.5″)until the first frost. Plants are naturally resistant to Alternaria Stem Canker (ASC).
  • For best results, harvest fruit when fully coloured and firm. About one month before the average first fall frost, clip all blossoms and any undersized fruit off the plant. This will steer all the plants remaining energy into ripening what's left. If you have a lot of under ripe tomatoes near the end of the season, and a frost is approaching, pick them and store them indoors
  • Indeterminate (vine)
  • Matures in 50-80 days (Open-pollinated seeds)

    Growing Tomato Seeds

  • Start indoors in early spring over bottom heat. When seedlings germinate, remove from the heat and grow under bright lights.
  • Grow seedlings on for 6-8 weeks at around 10°C (50°F).
  • Early season tomatoes can be planted out once night time temperatures are reliably above 7°C (45°F) – or later. Other types should be transplanted out when night time lows are 10°C (50°F) or warmer – or later.
  • Optimal soil temperature for germination: 25-35°C (68-95°F). With bottom heat seeds should germinate in 7-14 days.

    Companion Planting For Tomatoes

  • A sensitive plant when it comes to companions, tomatoes benefit from asparagus, basil, beans, borage, carrots, celery, chives, collards, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, marigold, mint, nasturtium, onion, parsley, and peppers.
  • Avoid planting alongside Brassicas and dill. Corn will attract tomato pests, and kohlrabi will stunt tomatoes' growth. Potatoes may spread blight to tomatoes, so keep them apart. Do no plant tomatoes near walnut trees.

    Harvesting Tomatoes

  • Harvest when the fruit is the desired colour. Green tomatoes can be ripened indoors at a cool temperature when they are blemish free. Very dark green tomatoes are unlikely to ripen fully.
