Sweet 100

Tomato

60d to harvest

Sun-warmed sweetness bursts from Sweet 100’s abundant clusters of petite fruits—bright, glossy scarlet spheres that taste like summer in a single bite. The skin is delightfully thin and resilient, giving way to a juicy, seed-filled interior with a crisp snap and a balanced, candy-like flavor. Grow Sweet 100 for fresh garden snacking and vibrant salads, or for spoonable sauces that shine with concentrated tomato brightness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pests or diseases commonly hit Solanum lycopersicum (Sweet 100) and how can I control them at home?

Watch closely for tomato hornworms and aphids; check the undersides of leaves weekly and remove hornworms by hand, then spray aphids with a strong jet of water. For disease, manage early blight (brown spots with yellow margins) by removing infected lower leaves and watering at the soil line instead of wetting foliage. If blight keeps spreading, use an appropriate labeled fungicide for tomatoes and rotate products to avoid resistance.

How often should I water Sweet 100 tomatoes during the main fruiting phase?

During active flowering and fruiting, keep soil evenly moist with about 1–1.5 inches (2.5–4 cm) of water per week, split into 2–3 sessions if the weather is hot. Aim for steady moisture—irregular watering can trigger blossom-end rot and fruit cracking—so the top few inches dry slightly between waterings but the root zone doesn’t dry out. Mulch around the plants to stabilize moisture and reduce swings.

How do I know when Sweet 100 tomatoes are ready to harvest?

Pick when fruits are fully colored (bright red) and slightly firm, with no green shoulders near the stem. Sweet 100 is usually ready around 60 days after sowing/transplanting depending on conditions, and it will produce in clusters, so harvest often to keep plants setting more fruit. If you can gently twist a tomato and it releases from the truss without tearing, it’s at peak ripeness.
