Tomato Uses: Small Fruits / Salads
Fruit Color: Red
Special Groups: Market Growers
Harvest Timing: Early/Short 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.

★★★★★ Survived a hornworm attack!
By Lorri (BARSTOW) on July 22, 2025

Poor babies. I had a couple seeds in a small pot and they sprouted just fine. Once they got a little bigger, I put them outside. They were doing fine, and then came the hornworm attack. These worms are very common where I live and they grow into beautiful hawkmoths, but they eat voraciously and they can strip a plant in one feeding. ***The good news***: Those hardy little tomato plants grew new leaves, came back to life, and are starting all over again! I still have hope to have some nice cherry tomatoes even though I planted way late in the year.

★★★★★ Great yields, taste, plants are too big
By Crissa Becker on January 3, 2018

Plants grew quickly to eight feet and produced like crazy until the middle of August. They stopped producing because of the heat until October. All tomatoes do that here. But picking all the tomatoes took forever because I had to stand on a bucket to do it. They taste great and are bursting with juice. I guess if I give them less nitrogen they wouldn't grow so tall. They got a disease but it didn't stop them. Only the lower leaves were affected.
