Tomato fruits are considered small even for cherry tomatoes. Their weight is only 8 g. When ripe, the berries are red, when unripe they are light green.
The variety's brushes are simple and look like unusually large branches of red currants. The bushes themselves are tall, covered with numerous leaves of intense green color.
The cultivar differs from other cherry tomatoes not only in size, but also in consistency. The fruits are soft to the touch and very comfortable to chew. The variety can be used for snacks and in children's kitchens. Bright berries will decorate any vegetable or meat dish, turning an ordinary meal into a festive one.

For many centuries, people have considered tomatoes to be poisonous plants. According to legend, it was only at the beginning of the 19th century that a military man decided to prove the opposite by eating a large amount of vegetables in public. Since then, people began to love and appreciate tomatoes.
Planting and care
When looking at unusual small tomatoes, an inexperienced summer resident may have a question: Sweet Baby tomato - how to plant it?
The agricultural technology of the variety is standard. The seeds are treated in potassium permanganate for 20 minutes, and then sown in a common box, from where they are transplanted into peat pots. Plants on the windowsill are grown in spacing, moving the pots farther apart as they grow. By the time of planting, good seedlings grow 9 leaves and the first flower cluster begins to form.
In open ground, bushes are immediately tied up. The stakes or trellis should be tall, as in a favorable year the stems can reach two meters in height.

Rules for growing the variety
Gardeners should understand that caring for short-growing tomatoes of the Detsky variety will require taking into account certain nuances. Despite the fact that pinching and gartering lose their important meaning, control over the formation of the stem and regular care are still mandatory.
Experienced farmers note that it is still advisable to tie up tomatoes. In this case, the bush becomes more open to natural sunlight and is protected from parasites. As a result, staking tomato bushes increases the chances of successfully obtaining the desired result.
Low-growing tomato bushes do not always produce stepsons or form them in small quantities. In some situations, pinching is required, since this procedure is aimed at normalizing the load of the plant. Otherwise, there is a threat of partial loss of the tomato harvest.
Even low-growing tomatoes require proper and comprehensive care. So, what should you pay special attention to?
- Loosening the soil is mandatory. The condition of the soil determines the successful growth of tomatoes. For this reason, it is recommended to loosen the soil to obtain the optimal amount of oxygen and the proper development of the root system of vegetables. In addition, loosening the soil involves removing unwanted weeds.
- Fertilizer application is another important task. The use of properly selected nutrient mixtures improves the growth and development of tomatoes. In addition, regular fertilizing contributes to obtaining a large and high-quality harvest. However, abundant fertilization with nitrogen or organic matter is undesirable, since the plant will stretch out, the emphasis will be on the green mass and difficulties will arise in obtaining high-quality ripe tomatoes.
- Regular moderate watering is mandatory. It is advisable to use warm, settled water for watering tomatoes.
Growing
The variety is sensitive to growing conditions: temperature, soil composition, fertilizing. The bush needs to be tied up to prevent crop loss due to broken stems.
Additional Information. If the stem is bent and the tomatoes are on the ground, the process of fruit growth and ripening continues.
Growing seedlings
The crop is grown by seedlings. In March, seeds are sown in prepared containers for seedlings or wooden boxes with soil, without deepening them, but only sprinkling them with a thin layer of soil. The containers are transferred to a room with a constant room temperature of +25 °C and above.
Important! Planting material should be watered with warm water and the soil should not be allowed to dry out. When the first shoots appear, containers with seedlings should be moved to a cooler, well-lit place
Alternatively, it could be a windowsill
When the first shoots appear, containers with seedlings should be moved to a cooler, well-lit place. Alternatively, it could be a windowsill.
When 2 leaves appear on the hatched sprout, the seedlings are picked.
About 10 days before planting seedlings in a greenhouse or open ground, young plants are hardened.
Picking seedlings
Landing
You can plant seedlings in a greenhouse or soil no earlier than 55-60 days after germination. It should have 6-7 leaves and at least 1 inflorescence formed, and the outside air temperature or in the greenhouse should not fall below +15°C.
When planting, you need to maintain a distance of 30 cm or more between neighboring plants or adhere to the scheme: no more than 3 bushes per 1 square meter. m.
Important! To prevent root rotting, seedlings are not deeply buried
Watering
A lot does not mean a good attitude towards watering seedlings. Due to excess moisture, the roots of the bush are weakened and the development of the plant is suspended. In addition, in waterlogged soil, the development of fungal microorganisms begins, against which a young, fragile plant cannot resist.
On average, it is enough for one bush to be watered 2 times a week.
Note! The optimal regime for watering seedlings is 2 times a week
Feeding and care
To ensure normal development, the plant must be fed regularly. For tomatoes, a good fertilizer is universal mineral fertilizers, organic.
Note! Fertilizing applied once every 2 weeks is effective and justified. A fast-growing bush with fragile shoots needs a garter
When a cold snap is predicted, the plant needs to be protected from low temperatures with spunbond or other covering material. This type of shelter can also be used during heavy rains to prevent the soil under the bushes from becoming waterlogged.

To increase yield
It is possible to increase the yield of a tomato bush by forming its crown during plant growth. Tall Pink Heart bushes are suitable for growing with 1 or 2 stems.
Harvest
Formation into 1 stem is the simplest: all the stepsons on the main stem of the plant are removed.
Important! Bushes with a crown formed into one stem can be grown closer to each other. It is possible to form a bush into 2 stems when a shoot forms above the first inflorescence that appears
After 2 flowering clusters appear on the bush, pinching is done, the result of which is to restrain the growth of the plant upward, and all stepsons are removed
It is possible to form a bush into 2 stems when a shoot forms above the first inflorescence that appears. After two flowering clusters appear on the bush, pinching is done, the result of which is to restrain the growth of the plant upward, and all the stepsons are removed.
Additional Information. By shaping the shape of the bush, it is possible to increase the yield by up to 30%.
On bushes formed into 2 stems, the fruits grow smaller, and the bush itself requires more space than with 1 stem.
Disease resistance
Pink Heart tomatoes are resistant to fungal diseases. To prevent other “tomato” diseases, you need to follow the watering regime, avoid over-moistening the soil, remove weeds in a timely manner and apply fertilizing.
Additional Information. Brown rot, a common disease of tomatoes, is combated by removing affected fruits and applying nitrogen fertilizers. To consolidate the result, the bushes are treated with the drug “Hom” to protect tomatoes.
If the plant is affected by aphids, which is very rare, you can use the preparations “Bison” and “Strela”.

Varieties of large tomatoes
There are many varieties of large-fruited tomatoes for gardens and greenhouses, but indeterminate varieties boast the most impressive sizes. In addition, they are distinguished by their tall stature and liana-like structure. The plant can grow 2 m, which makes it possible to optimally use the area of the garden and greenhouse, when, as in the case of medium-sized and small varieties, it is necessary to plant more extensively. From 1 m² of planting large indeterminate tomatoes, you can harvest up to 15 kg of harvest per season, but this is not the limit! From the same area, you can harvest up to 25 kg of crop, if we are talking about hybrid varieties developed through the efforts of breeders.
Indeterminate varieties of tomatoes
If you delve a little deeper into the growing process, it becomes clear that the largest fruits come from the first ovaries. Their weight can reach 500-800 g, depending on the variety, and if you provide the plants with proper care and proper feeding, the weight will be even greater.
We will tell you how to grow large tomatoes below, but for now we will list the most popular indeterminate varieties:
Hybrid varieties of tomatoes
If we compare hybrid varieties with conventional large-fruited ones, we can note greater resistance to changeable weather. F1 hybrids are completely undemanding and always produce rich harvests. They bear fruit even in low light or sudden temperature changes, which would be detrimental to all other varieties.
Also, the advantages of hybrids include high resistance to typical “tomato” diseases and insect pests. So if you don’t have the opportunity to create optimal conditions for tomatoes in a greenhouse, but you really want to plant them, choose hybrids.
The ripening time of hybrid varieties can be very different. Early and mid-early varieties show the greatest resistance to weather vicissitudes and insufficient care. They can be planted in unheated and film greenhouses.
Hybrid varieties of large tomatoes F1:
a brief description of
Children's Joy is a variety, not a hybrid, which means, firstly, you can produce your own seeds, and secondly, expect a truly sweet taste from ripe fruits. To plant seedlings you will need a little space: the bushes are low (0.6 m), compact, up to 6 roots can be placed per square meter of ridge.

Modern selection has made the Children's Sweet variety resistant to some diseases:
- fusarium;
- verticillium;
- blossom end rot of fruits.
However, preventive measures are needed. In order to prevent diseases and obtain healthy tomato seedlings, the seeds are soaked in a solution of potassium permanganate before planting. Before planting, the soil is shed with a solution of Fitosporin.
Agricultural technology
To correctly calculate the timing of sowing, the characteristic ripening period is used, which for Children's sweets is short, 80 - 90 days. The tomato is early, so seeds for seedlings can be planted in early April. At the end of May, 40-day-old seedlings can be transplanted into open ground.
A description of the planting scheme is given on the seed package. - recommends placing up to 6 bushes per square meter, maintaining an interval between plants of 40 cm, between rows - 50 cm. Summer care of tomatoes is usual, consists of watering, fertilizing, weeding.
Tomato growing technology
This garden crop requires maintaining moderate soil moisture. Strengthening the bush to a support is a mandatory maintenance measure that must be carried out before the ovaries begin to appear. Reproduction is carried out by seed and seedling methods. Also, the plant should be taken care of in time. The germination of lashes occurs with noticeable intensity. Foliage that thickens the lower tier of planting must be removed, since it blocks the access of light to the fruits, which negatively affects the rate of fruit ripening and providing the plant with a sufficient amount of nutrients.
Note! Before you start sowing seed material in the ground, selecting seeds, you should get rid of specimens that have any defects, and then treat them with a drug that stimulates the germination process - “Zircon”. The acidity of the soil in which these tomatoes are planted can exceed slightly more than 6.5 pH
The soil suitable for growing this variety is a soil mixture that contains useful components, a detailed list of which is presented below:
The acidity of the soil in which these tomatoes are planted can exceed slightly more than 6.5 pH. The soil suitable for growing this variety is a soil mixture that contains useful components, a detailed list of which is presented below:
- river sand;
- soil taken from a garden plot;
- peat;
- cow dung;
- ash;
- humus.
The prepared soil material must be mixed, poured generously with a strong concentration of potassium permanganate solution, and then heated by placing it on a hot stove. The resulting soil is laid out in small wooden boxes, where the seeds are then sown in centimeter-long depressions made in the form of furrows, while maintaining a 3-centimeter distance between the seeds. The minimum distance between rows should be 10 centimeters. After completing the planting work, each furrow must be covered with earth and watered. All boxes closed with film or glass must be left in a warm room with a temperature not lower than +24°C for 5 days.
Before the first shoots appear, the crops must be ventilated daily. This process is carried out by removing the covering material for half an hour. If the soil becomes dry, the seed should be watered. After the seeds germinate, the film or glass is removed, and the room temperature is dropped to +20°C.
Watering
At this stage, lighting control is a mandatory maintenance measure. If the number of hours of daylight is less than half of a calendar day, the lack of lighting is compensated by installing additional lighting devices. Plantings preparing to sprout must be watered regularly. If 2 leaves appear on the stems, they should be transplanted into separate containers.
Planting tomatoes in a greenhouse
The time for transplanting sprouted seedlings into a greenhouse is considered to be 58 days after the appearance of the first shoots.
When planting seedlings in a greenhouse, it is necessary to maintain a 38-centimeter distance between plantings with row spacing not exceeding 1 meter. You can start replanting Makhitos tomatoes in a greenhouse bed only when the soil has warmed up to +18°C.
Disease susceptibility
The list of diseases to which this variety has strong resistance:
- tobacco mosaic;
- Cladosporiosis disease;
- verticillium disease;
- nematode.
Recommendations for watering
Watering is carried out in moderation to prevent the substrate from drying out, but also not to flood the plant, since too much watering before the formation of the 3rd cluster will lead to the formation of a large number of small fruits. Therefore, soil irrigation should be carried out when signs of moisture deficiency appear, such as wilting and drying of leaves. As an alternative method, it is recommended to water the bush in small doses, preventing the soil from drying out.
About harvesting
You can start collecting ripe fruits 95-96 days after the first sprouts sprout - this period occurs at the beginning of August. The ripening stage of vegetables occurs in early autumn. It should be noted that at this time the yield is especially high.

- When the tomatoes are ripe, reduce the intensity of watering.
- Remove tomatoes from the vines if nights become cold and the mercury drops to 8°C or below. Let the tomatoes ripen in the boxes.
Features of cultivation
Sweet tomatoes are planted for seedlings at the end of March in a greenhouse or in peat cups in the room. And already at the end of May they can be planted in open ground, when the threat of frost has passed.
Before planting, seedlings need to be hardened off for a week, this will help them withstand temperature changes.
Important! Plants should be planted according to a 100×100 pattern, in which case they will not shade each other’s sunlight. If there are enough sunny days for the season, this tomato variety will be sugary
If there are enough sunny days for the season, this variety of tomatoes will be sugary.
The bush forms tall stems, up to 2 meters long, so it must be tied to a strong support. This variety of tomatoes needs to be pinched; it is best to form two branches.
Harvest tomato
Fertilizer is applied 3-4 times per season, every 2 weeks. To enhance sweetness, it is necessary to apply potassium mineral fertilizers. You need to dilute 30 grams in a bucket of water. potassium, you can add 50 g. superphosphate. You need to pour 0.5 liters of nutrient liquid onto the bush. And fertilizing with wood ash allows the fruits to gain weight - they will be large (1 tbsp per 10 l).
Note! The bushes are fertilized with nitrogen supplements only once, in mid-June. Plantings should be watered with warm water as the soil dries out.
To keep the tomato sweet, reduce watering during fruiting. And so that the soil does not become crusty and allows oxygen to pass freely to the roots, it must be loosened regularly

In different regions of Russia, growing tomatoes has its own characteristics. In the Urals and Siberia, tomatoes should be planted in June, when the threat of frost has passed. And the climate in the Moscow region, due to rainy weather and lack of sunny days, prevents the fruit from fully ripening. But nevertheless, experienced summer residents practice growing sweet tomatoes in these regions. At the first stage of ripeness, the fruits are removed from the bush and placed in boxes. Next you need to create suitable conditions for ripening:
- temperature not lower than 21C;
- excellent ventilation.
When ripening indoors, sweet tomatoes will not be inferior in taste to ordinary ground tomatoes.
So, it is easy to grow sweet tomatoes in garden plots in the southern regions. And in the middle zone there is a better chance of growing tomatoes in greenhouses. Some of the sweetest varieties of tomatoes, along with Sweet Baby, are Chernomor, Pink Elephant, and Bull's Heart. These varieties will have their own varietal characteristics.
How to sow tomatoes with seeds in the ground
Sow with dry seeds. Mark the holes at a distance of 40 cm from each other. Water the soil in the holes with warm or hot water. Plant at least 3 - 4 seeds in each hole. The seeds should be covered with humus 1.5 cm thick.
