Ease of Cultivation and abundant harvest: The Supersweet 100 Hybrid is one of the most popular cherry tomato varieties known for producing prolific clusters of small, sweet red fruits. It’s a vigorous grower and an excellent option for gardeners of all experience levels. The tomatoes are ideal for snacking, adding to salads, or using in sauces. This variety is disease-resistant, crack-resistant, and continues to produce throughout the season with minimal maintenance.

Direct Sowing: For best results, start Supersweet 100 Hybrid tomatoes indoors, but direct sowing can be done once the soil temperature is at least 70°F. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, and space plants 24-36 inches apart to allow for airflow and proper growth. The seeds typically germinate in 7-14 days. Ensure full sun exposure and water regularly for strong, healthy plants.

Early Sowing for Seedlings: To get a head start on the growing season, sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Use seed trays filled with high-quality potting mix and maintain a temperature between 70-80°F for optimal germination. After the seedlings have developed their first true leaves, transplant them into larger containers. Once the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions. Transplant them into the garden, spacing the plants 24-36 inches apart, and provide support with stakes or cages as the plants will grow tall and require stabilization.

Harvesting: Supersweet 100 Hybrid tomatoes are ready to harvest when they turn a deep red and reach full size, typically after 65-70 days. Regular harvesting encourages continued production. The small, bite-sized tomatoes should be picked when they are firm, sweet, and fully ripened for the best flavor. Be sure to pick them before they begin to crack, especially after rainfall.
