Hey Gang,
The Dwarf Tomato project was headed up by Patrina and Craig from the Tomatopalloza festival and thanks to them we now have some really cool new varieties of tomatoes.
They grow 2' to 4' tall and are perfect for containers, patio gardening, Condo and apartment living, etc.
Most of them look and taste like the original larger tomato, but are smaller...although one variety grows up to a pound. Most have a thicker stem with greener, dense foliage.
Very cool tomatoes
For our Penny's Tomato business we've secured the 9 original tomato seeds (although a few more have been developed and are in scarce supply. We're growing them in our personal gardens and have some partners growing them for a large quantity of seeds.
The varieties that Penny and I have secured are Dwarf Jade Beauty, Dwarf Emerald Giant, Dwarf Beryl Beauty, Casady's Folly, Tazmanian Chocolate, Summertime Green, Summertime Gold, Roswella Purple (that we understand is a top seller and almos impossible to fine), Dwarf Wild Fred adn Dwarf Mr. Snow.
Even the names sound awesome, huh?
Anyway, we are way pumped and I wanted to see if anyone else is growing them and what your experiences have been. Would love to hear more. Penny just planted hers and we can post pics along the line if there is any interest.
Thanks,
Pepper Joe
