Product description

Tomato 'Sweet Aperitif' is a highly sought-after cherry tomato variety known for its incredibly sweet flavour and juicy texture. This variety produces small, vibrant red fruits that are perfect for adding a burst of flavour to salads, snacks, or as a garnish. 'Sweet Aperitif' is a high-yielding variety, making it an excellent choice for both home gardeners and those looking to grow vegetables in the UK. The plants are vigorous and can be grown successfully in both outdoor garden beds and greenhouses, providing a continuous harvest throughout the summer months.

To grow Tomato 'Sweet Aperitif', sow the seeds indoors from February to April, planting them 0.5cm deep in seed compost. Keep the soil for vegetables growing moist and place the trays in a warm spot to encourage germination. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing the plants 45cm apart. Choose a sunny, sheltered location for planting vegetables to ensure the best growth. This variety is ideal for those new to growing vegetables, as it is relatively easy to manage and offers rewarding results.

For optimal care, regularly water your Tomato 'Sweet Aperitif' plants, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Support the plants with stakes or cages to help them bear the weight of the heavy fruit clusters. Feeding with a balanced tomato fertiliser will promote healthy growth and abundant fruiting. Harvest the tomatoes from July to October when they are fully ripe and bright red. This variety’s high sugar content makes it a favourite among gardeners and is perfect for adding sweetness to your vegetable patch.
