Nice tomatoes! Enjoy them.
I'm not sure whether seeing things like this is encouraging or cruel - it's going to be 20 degrees here tonight with a chance of snow flurries. I think I'll just work on my seed orders. Elizabeth |

Very nice looking fruit Michael! How tall is the plant?
Was the DTM typical for this variety? And of course... how'd it taste? Lee

Lee-Taste was incredible-especially in January. There is no doubt for me when I am tasting a nbd vs other dwarf varieties. I am getting better productivity than I usually get from this plant. Plant is about 4 feet tall and dtms for me are difficult to assess because I am growing it in the winter, but I would say pretty typical. Nbd is not an early variety for me, its more like about 80 days. I saved seed from a beautiful first fruit that the plant ripened. Thanks to Craig for getting this out of the USDA seed bank.

John-NBD is one of the few of this size plant that produces such big fruit and fruit that tastes so good.
