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.

I grow this larger orange slicer every year. It has a sweet and tangy taste that is quite intense. The plant is compact-around 3ft, and very productive. It is very similar to Dwarf Perfect Harmony flavor-wise, and I grow them both!

I've have tried many of the highest reviewed tomatoes for flavor, including Cherokee Purple, Brandywine many of the sweet cherry tomatoes. Tanger has the strongest flavor, is the sweetest, in my view, and is outright beautiful inside and out. The seed pockets are tiny as are the seeds. This was my first year growing dwarf tomatoes, so my only observation on growing is be diligent in checking for crop for pest and mildew. The plants are so compact, and the leaves so textured that all kinds of things can be missed.

Unexpectedly good! I am not a yellow tomato fan, and I usually just grow them for my mother. This one is an exception. Nice full flavor with a little bit of tang to it. It's also holding up against blight better than most of the tomatoes in my garden this year, and production is good too. Definitely worth growing even if you don't normally like yellow tomatoes.

Wow. I already know i will keep it, it is out performing an army of dwarfs.ALMOST 6FT. tall with golf ball sized fruit, if it reaches 10ft., i think it will, ok i live with it. I live on brutal pine bareen south slope. And so If a variety shows promise here, oh yea. I gonna keep it.
It reminds me of Tomesol. Durable reliable, tall. Tomesol is a fabulous tomato DTP needs 2put on its lunch list. (So is German Lunchbox, &Goose Creek)

This one took me by surprise. One of the best I've grown in 2021. Big, intense, bright, tangy-sweet flavor. 5 Stars!
