Get ready to enjoy delicious and juicy tomatoes with Sungold Tomato Seeds. These seeds are perfect for gardeners who want to grow their own vegetables. Plant them indoors, 6 weeks before the last frost, and watch them grow into strong seedlings. Once the seedlings are ready, transplant them outside, and with proper care and maintenance, they will produce a bountiful harvest of sweet and juicy tomatoes. Sungold tomatoes are known for their vibrant color, sweet taste, and juicy texture, making them a popular choice for home gardeners. To ensure the amazing results, plant the seeds in fertile soil, amended with compost, and mulch, and provide even moisture. Remember to plant them deeper than they were growing in the containers to encourage a stronger root system, and apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can lead to excessive foliage growth and poor fruit set. So, Get Sungold Tomato Seeds today and enjoy the delicious taste of homegrown tomatoes!

 PLANTING:

Indoors- 6 weeks before last frost, 1/4” deep with soil temperatures 75 degrees. Liquid fertilize seedlings every 7-10 days. Transplant out 24-36” apart after last frost when soil is 55-60 degrees and night temperatures are over 45 degrees.

Harvest- When fruit is red (or the color of the variety planted) and firm.

Tips- Plant in fertile soil, amended with compost, and mulch, and provide even moisture. Plant deeper than they were growing in the containers as it makes a stronger root system. Apply a light compost tea every few weeks. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.

  • Species and varieties: Sungold tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) are a popular cherry tomato variety known for their exceptionally sweet flavor and vibrant orange color. They are part of the Solanaceae family and are an indeterminate type, meaning they continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Sungold tomatoes are a hybrid variety. They have been specifically bred for their unique flavor, disease resistance, and high yield. Hybrid seeds are created by cross-pollinating two different parent plants to produce a seed with desirable traits from both.
  • Pruning and training: Sungold tomatoes benefit from regular pruning to remove suckers (the small shoots that grow between the main stem and branches) to promote better air circulation and reduce the risk of disease. They also require staking or caging to support their vigorous growth and prevent the branches from breaking under the weight of the fruit.
  • Fertilization needs: Sungold tomatoes require regular fertilization to support their rapid growth and fruit production. Use a balanced fertilizer with equal parts nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time. Once the plants start to set fruit, switch to a fertilizer higher in phosphorus and potassium to encourage fruit development. Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
  • Hardiness zones: Sungold tomatoes can be grown in USDA hardiness zones 3-11. They are well-suited for a wide range of climates, from cooler northern regions to warmer southern areas.
  • Climate requirements: Sungold tomatoes thrive in full sun and require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. They prefer warm temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for optimal growth. They need well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8.
