Sleeping Lady Tomato
Price: $3.09
SKU: 3403391
85 days, dwarf — A mid-season variety that has stout, central stems, grows to three feet tall, and has dark green, rugose, regular leaf foliage. The fruit are smooth and round to oblate in shape, ranging from three to six ounces, and ripen to a chocolate-mahogany color (the color is similar to that of 'Cherokee Chocolate' or 'Paul Robeson'). Flavor is well balanced and pleasant. 'Sleeping Lady' seems to be particularly prolific in comparison with many other "Dwarf Tomato Project" varieties.
The variety was selected by Sherry Shiesl of Alaska. She named it after the local "Legend of the Sleeping Lady." 'Sleeping Lady' is a selection made from the "Dwarf Tomato Project's" "Grumpy family" ('Budai Torpe' and 'Black from Tula', cross made in 2006 by Patrina Nuske Small of Australia). Introduced in 2011. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.

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.
