Nan, the dwarf project dwarfs, like most indeterminate, have some early varieties,
mid season, and late. My limited experience, once they get going, continue rather
steady.
dPinkPassion was very early, one of the first, but succumbed to some disease.
dArticRose was not far behind and did well most of the season yet best production was early..
dTennSuited and
dKangarooPawBrown, both excellent in flavor, were both mid-late and steady
producers once the heat let up late August.
dArticRose is a cross between 'Budai Torpe' and 'Black from Tula', listed as a true determinate.
You could probably find pics and development discussions doing a search in the
'Grumpy' archives. 2010 maybe?
I also grew two dozen dwarf hunt, F2's, and F3's. What I like about the dwarfs is
the size. More variety tomatoes in such a small footprint. Self pruning, not bushy.
(except for dArticRose...semi-bushy)
A 25ft run a foot apart in one and 2 gal grow bags. I should note, on my deck, single
row, I had great airflow. I intentionally wanted more variety over big production.
2018 I will scale back quantity, larger pots, and concentrate on a few but more of each
variety. 6-8 Metallica, maybe 2-3 each of the others with great flavor.
Victory Seed supply has a good listing of dwarfs and good descriptions. Easy to
navigate. All in one place.
