Start Sweet Hearts Tomato seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last spring frost. Maintain soil temperatures between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal germination. Keep the seedling area bright and warm until transplant time.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 55 degrees Fahrenheit and all frost danger has passed. Space plants 3 inches apart in soil that drains well and falls within the pH range of 5.5 to 7.0. Harden off seedlings gradually by exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before final planting.
Harvest Sweet Hearts Tomato when the fruit is fully ripe and yields slightly to gentle pressure. The tomato should show deep color throughout with no green shoulders remaining at the stem end. For best flavor, pick fruit when fully mature on the plant rather than harvesting early and ripening indoors. Expect first harvest around 73 days from transplanting.
Because Sweet Hearts Tomato is indeterminate, it will grow continuously throughout the season if left unpruned. Light pruning of lower leaves improves air circulation and reduces fungal disease pressure, especially in humid regions. Remove suckers (shoots that grow between the main stem and branches) if you prefer to direct the plant's energy into fewer, larger fruit trusses.
