Sow in the substrate to a depth of 1.5 cm, water with warm water from a spray bottle, and cover with plastic wrap. The optimal temperature for seedlings should be 23–25°C.

At the stage of formation of 2 true leaves, the seedlings are picked and fed with fertilizers containing potassium and magnesium.

Planting of planting material in a permanent place is carried out with a distance of 40 cm between bushes and 70 cm between rows. A high concentration of bushes per unit area reduces yield. Before planting, the holes are pre-fertilized with organic and mineral fertilizers.

During the summer, caring for tomato plants involves regular watering and hilling. To increase yield, mulching the soil is recommended.

This method helps effectively control weeds and maintain moisture and air balance around the root system. The hybrid is resistant to late blight and tobacco mosaic virus.

Pre-sowing seed treatment is often sufficient to prevent diseases. In extreme weather conditions, low-toxicity fungicides are used as a preventative measure.

Opinions and recommendations from gardeners

Positive reviews of the Honey Heart tomato indicate the excellent taste of the fruit and its versatility in cooking.

Efim Vasiliev, 59, Barnaul: "A neighbor at my dacha described this hybrid as one of the best tomatoes grown in his garden. I tried growing tomatoes last season. When growing the Honey Heart variety, it's important to ensure the soil is rich in organic matter, otherwise the yield will decrease. The bushes are low, and the fruits are medium-sized and beautifully shaped. The children really enjoyed the juicy flesh and sweet flavor."

Natalya Popova, 62, Krasnodar: "I planted the Honey Heart on the balcony for the first time. I just wanted to see how the plant would respond to the limited space. I grew the seedlings from seeds. When they were fully grown, I transferred them to a container with growing medium. I watered them only with warm water and a solution of mineral fertilizer. The plant has grown to a height of 65 cm. I was very pleased with the unusual taste and shape of the fruits. When cut vertically, the tomato resembles honey."
