If you could only grow 4 dwarf tomato plants...

[Gerardo]

Growing a ton of dwarfs this year. Looking forward to

Uluru Ochre
Wherokowhai
Pit Viper
Shamrock
Summertime Gold
Boronia
Pink Passion and others.....

who am I kidding, 4 just isn't enough.
Tasm Choc the only one to have a permanent spot, looking forward to tasting ALL of them.

[KC.Sun]

I have that same problem. Will be growing 15 of them.

Really looking forward to BrandyFred, TastyWine, Loxton Lad, and Loxton Lass.

Too bad I can't fit the hearts from the dwarf project in this year.

[luigiwu]

A couple of people have mentioned the dwarf hearts released this year. Where can I find that info since I am ALL about hearts and esp. Dwarves this year!
Great thread!!!

[nancyruhl]

Tatiana's has the four I know of- dwarf pink passion, dwarf Purple Heart, dwarf scarlet heart, dwarf golden heart. While I haven't checked, there are other places that often carry them, like Victory seeds and Sample seeds shop.

[luigiwu]

Nancy, is there a full list of names of released dwarf hearts somewhere? Was going to order from victory seeds but often I find I have to type the name in the search to pull them up. For some reason harder to browse and no filter?

Here are all the Victory Seeds DTP varieties together.

Craig LeHoullier ranked Orange Cream as 3rd best of the last 30 released in a radio interview on America's Home Grown Veggies. He was on 2 weeks in a row.
Tied for first and 2nd were Golden Gypsy and Blazing Beauty. Tastywine was 4th.

So both of those are real winners! Sweet Scarlet was mentioned as being top rate too.

Do you happen to know if this ranking was from Craig's personal opinion, or from tomato tasting(s) consensus?

Tastywine appears to be out of stock at seed sources.

Thanks,

I worked on Tastywine and I think it is one of the best so far.

[nancyruhl]

This is the best source I know of for information and it appears the current available sources for seeds has been updated for most varieties. http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/C..._Dwarf_Project.

Are you replying to my post Nancy? I did indeed check tatiana's site and both of those seed sources for Tastywine are out of stock, unfortunately.
