This super sweet cherry tomato is the ultimate snacking tomato. Plant Sweetie cherry tomato seeds in well-drained, fertile soil in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. This variety thrives in permaculture settings, where it can climb vertically, saving space and facilitating air circulation, which reduces fungal diseases. Sweetie tomatoes are excellent companion plants for basil and garlic, which help repel pests and enhance flavor. Water consistently and use mulch to maintain soil moisture. These tomatoes are exceptionally sweet, making them a favorite for fresh eating, salads, and garnishes. Nutritionally, they are rich in vitamins C and K, potassium, and antioxidants, which support cardiovascular health and provide anti-inflammatory benefits.
