Full light and cooler temps (60° to 70°) will help to prevent the seedlings from becoming too leggy. If plants become rootbound before you can safely set them into the ground, transplant them into larger pots.
Harden off plants before planting outside. Young plants are very susceptible to frost and sunburn damage. Avoid too much nitrogen. Water evenly but not in excess.

This was my first year growing veggies, and Dwarf Sunny's Pear was my favorite of the dwarf tomato project varieties I tried. Sturdy plants with upright growth that didn't require staking, productive, and great flavor. They are described as a paste-type tomato but they seemed more like a cherry tomato in texture & size and I enjoyed eating them raw. I didn't fertilize enough so I only got one main crop, but I will grow them again next year and improve my care. No disease, either, despite living in a very humid region and stuffing two plants in an 8 gal grow bag.

Very pretty pear tomato, looks and tasty lovely in caprese salad or just to eat off the vine. I did plant one month apart and glad I did to enjoy for a longer period of time.

Whether sliced into salads or skewered and grilled, this useful tomato variety is very attractive with its glowing bright orange color. The flavor is delightful and the yield very heavy. For a small fruited tomato, it takes awhile to get going, but is worth the wait.
