2024 Varieties
Feast your eyes on this bevy of beauties and dream of those summer evenings made perfect by savoring the flavor of a homegrown, vine-ripened, handpicked tomato.
• Dwarf plants are around 3’ tall and can thrive in a pot 15” in diameter or in the ground. Fruit vary widely in size, depending on the variety.
• Nearly all our plants are indeterminate. They have a vine-like structure. They begin producing edible fruit around early August (give or take) then continue producing until first frost. Where noted, a few plants are determinate. They have a bush-like structure. They typically set fruit early, continue for a week or two then are finished for the season.
• Tabletop plants are 8” to 12” tall and can be grown, yes, on a tabletop in a pot that’s 7” to 9” in diameter. Fruit are the size of cherries or grapes. Despite the small size, they still need several hours of direct sunlight every day. They rarely thrive indoors.
We intend to offer these varieties. We may need to substitute. In past years, I’ve obliterated an entire variety by dropping a flat or knocking over a shelf. We’ll do our best to make the substitute as close as possible to the one you ordered.
