What flavor profile did you end up with for them? Sweet? Tart? Acidic? Fruity? Mild? Etc.?

They are all different. The idea is small dwarf plants with big plant flavour

Here's my remaining Sweet Baby Jade after a hornworm visit last night. My other SBJ succumbed to some unknown cause earlier in August, but this one is still cranking out the fruit and the growth. It's about 4 ft tall now.

I’m shocked how great she looks this late in your NM heat Charley that’s fantastic!

I want to try your Polaris, Taiga and Midnight Sun plants for 2023. Will they be available? I have checked with a number of web sites that sell your seeds and they are out of them. Thanks for any help.

You can message me in October if you like.
And all of my varieties on in the members exchange of the SSE.
Artisan Seeds sells midnight sun and taiga

Thanks a lot.

I purchased Midnight Sun from Renaissance last winter.

Alas, I started two, gave one to our daughter and ours was broken off in a thunderstorm. It didn't recover quickly enough to yield any ripe tomatoes.

My daughter reports she liked it very much. I will try again next year.

Always a good idea to start a few to hedge your bets. Can bc always save more seeds once you get a plant although Fred said he estimates there would be for or five seeds from his 200’ row
Seeds are not a major feature of midnight sun
I’m glad your daughter liked it and that you plan to grow it again

Some accidental volunteers I potted up in October and put in the little greenhouse with a heater and now some light since it’s Canadian november dark

I figured they was Ted to grow. This is an F2 growout of a 3-way little dwarf cross I did last year. There are lots of possibilities as far as size, shape and colour. I’m looking for an interesting very small dwarf.

A couple examples of fruit from the summer growout of this Same F2
A sweet green grape on a 12” potato leaf microdwarf
And a beautiful black cherry on a 12” regular leaf microdwarf.

Looking forward to more interesting discoveries from this cross. Using my own now stable small dwarfs as parents opens up a lot of possibilities in finding micros I actually really like including finally some great flavour and interesting colours and shapes.
There are some stripes as well.
More to come and from my teacup tomatoes
