Tomato 'Sugar sweetie'

Keep soil moist to ensure a healthy root system.

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Sugar 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. Sugar sweetie needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.0 to 6.0 (moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil).

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.23 inches (0.6 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high. Be sure to harden off seedlings to reduce transplant stress. Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Sugar sweetie is a tender plant.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early summer.
