Tomato 'Sweetie'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Sweetie is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Sweetie likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 2.60 feet (80.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.78 inches (2.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Sweetie about 42 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.
