Indeterminate 75 days to harvest Solanum lycopersicum

Finally, a delicious tomato with serious disease resistance! Each long and luscious truss will easily ripen ten fruits and often more. We love our Organic Summer Sweetheart Cherry Tomatoes on salads, kabobs, roasted and stuffed with mozzarella as well as sun-dried.

Here’s the whole story: Whether you hope to harvest ten or ten thousand tomatoes, diseases like Late Blight, Early Blight and Septoria Leaf Spot are affecting your abundance every season here in the Northeast. Though many cultural practices can reduce the spread of disease (like growing under plastic and watering soil rather than leaves), sowing seeds with natural genetic resistance to these diseases is the single greatest thing you can do to increase your success, whether you are an organic or conventional grower. Martha Mutschler-Chu develops such tomatoes at Cornell University.

Fruition Seeds asked to play with one of Martha’s triple-resistant lines and fell in love with a cross with Will Bonsall’s Gardener’s Sweetheart, an exceptionally sweet and creamy heart-shaped red cherry. The result is ‘Summer’s Sweetheart,’ a large saladette tomato with handsome ribs perfect for salads, roasting, stuffing with mozzarella and drying.

A disease-resistant tomato that’s truly delicious. Grown in Los Angeles. We will grow them again this year.

We have a serious problem with Septoria Leaf Spot in our area. These tomatoes are the most resistant to SLS that I have tried, but they still eventually succumb later in the season. However, it is much later than non-resistant varieties. The plant is very productive and the fruit is good tasting. I will continue to grow them.

Organic Summer Sweetheart F1 Cherry Tomato

Planting Method: Transplant Only

When to sow: 6-8 weeks before last frost

Seed Depth: 1/8 inch Days to Germination: 7-10 at 80°F (27°C)

Sowing and seedling care: Don’t start too early! Sow indoors 2 seeds/cell or soil block, & thin to 1. We recommend sowing on a heat mat at 80°F to emergence, 75°F after. Good light is essential: Younger, less stressed seedlings are healthier and more abundant than older, more stressed seedlings. Pot up to 3-4” pots when first true leaves, submerging 3/4 of the stem below soil.

When to transplant: Harden off & transplant outdoors after frost, again burying stem.

Strong 3′ trellis optional but helpful. Water soil, not leaves. Prune lowest stem “suckers” as they emerge.

Transplant Spacing: 2.5 feet Sun Needs: Full

Days to Harvest: 75

Harvest: Indeterminate.
