Short and sweets front right. Shows the contrast between some indeterminate plants and some regular larger dwarfs on the left front. They were all planted the same day except the six big ones in the back wall
Planting time this week ahead. KarenO |

Planted up the Short and sweets. The little guys will live in the greenhouse, the larger dwarfs out in the garden or in pots
Looking forward to seeing how they do KarenO |

I love dwarf seedlings! I'm guessing short and sweet is something I should follow.

The main goal of this project originally was to see what could be done about adding some flavour to the equation and to do that it needed to come from somewhere else besides a fairly nondescript flavoured micro and so I crossed several standard micros, (Venus was one I used)the best ones I’ve tried with full size indeterminate beefsteaks that I really love the flavour of. The very wide cross resulted in some small dwarfs selected out of a very big F2 grow-out with the help of my good friend Teresa S in North Carolina. We have several micros including a green cherry and green striped saladette size on a micro plant which Are flavourful and pretty unique. The project has also expanded beyond micro to other small indeterminate dwarfs that had great flavour. Now at F4 and F5 the challenge is to finish stabilizing them maintaining the big tomato taste in the small package. I think they are interesting and quite different and that is my goal. |

Great healthy seedlings, Karen! And I especially like your pots (red are looking very nice indeed). We have no such things here unfortunately.

Holes drilled for drainage they are about 2 gallons which is a good size for the smallest dwarfs in my project KarenO |

We also have dollar stores here, but without such buckets.
Maybe our gardeners just not using pots/buckets much. But it is certainly ideal for dwarfs.
