Harvest Timing: Main Crop / Mid-Season
Sow seeds indoors (do not direct sow into the garden), using sterile seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before your last expected frost date. Plant 1/4" deep, water lightly but keep moist until emergence.

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.

★★★★★ A total star
By Jane (Eugene, OR) on May 21, 2024

I grew this last yr first time. I was blown away. My plant yielded huge huge light yellow fruit on & on & on. This is not determinate! The fruit was very meaty and juicy. And what a taste. I think the description of bright is good. It's oh so good. I called the local grower to see where I could buy it here. Found it! So happy for another year. Mine grew a bit taller & took longer to bear because it had morning shade. Last yr it was an unknown to me so I put it in the worst growing space. Produced later that my full sun plants but then on until the Nov freeze.

Among the dwarfs I've found this to be one of the most trouble free (when grown in challenging conditions), highest yielding, attractive and tasty. Plenty of medium sized, smooth, oblate medium yellow tomatoes are produced that have pale yellow interiors. The flavor is so well balanced and delightful that it needs to be in everyone's garden.
