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.

Single serving tomato with great flavor, no cracking. My first non cherry/cocktail tomatoes to produce. These never sit around for long.

Grew this in a blue cattle tub in a fenced garden at 7000 feet and it thrived! Lots of pretty fruit with excellent flavor. Had some protection with a heavy then lighter frost cloth through our short, windy and cold at night season. Started seeds indoors late March with great germination, and transplanted outside mid-June. Plants were stocky and sturdy with lots of fruit. Tomatoes ripened late August into early September. We have to move our plants inside early September because of frost and the plants kept growing. Picked the last ones the last week of October with blossoms at the top…would recommend this tomato.

Prolific plant, with fruits around five ounces each, the earliest of my Dwarf tomatoes to ripen Very tasty, similar to Black from Tula, a parent plant to this one. Healthy plants with a sturdy central stalk. I'm a fan of Dwarf Tomato Project plants and this one is a keeper.
