TOMATO SWEET APERITIF - A new, high yielding cherry tomato with an indeterminate growth habit, Sweet Aperitif produces masses of small cherry-sized, bright red fruits that have an exceptional flavour produced by a combination of high levels of sugar and acid. SUPER SWEET- Noted for their high sugar content, the fruits are sweet, but the flavour is well balanced with a slight tang. GROWING CONDITIONS - Tomatoes thrive in full sun, with well draining soil. Increase water in hot weather and reduce in cool weather to keep the soil constantly damp but not waterlogged. Before planting, adding organic matter to your soil can help improve its fertility and moisture retention. A spacing of 60cm between plants is recommended. ONGOING CARE - Tie in to supports as it grows, and pinch out the side shoots. To maximize your yield, apply a slow-release fertiliser at the time of planting and include a high potash feed every two weeks during the growing season.

Tomato plants in 9cm pots need consistent care to thrive. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, watering when the top inch feels dry and avoiding wetting the leaves to prevent diseases. Place them in a sunny spot with 6–8 hours of light daily, or supplement with grow lights if indoors, and maintain temperatures between 18–24°C during the day and above 10°C at night. When the plants reach 15–20cm tall, repot them into larger pots, containers, or directly into the ground, ensuring the new space is deep enough to bury part of the stem to encourage strong root growth. Provide support with a small stake, remove yellowing leaves, and pinch off side shoots (suckers) if growing indeterminate varieties. Check regularly for pests like aphids or spider mites, and ensure good airflow to prevent fungal issues. If moving outdoors, harden them off gradually over 7–10 days by exposing them to outdoor conditions for a few hours daily. With proper care, your plants will flourish and be ready for fruiting.
