I had not much luck with dwarf tomatoes, but I'll keep trying !!

Few years ago, I tried Wherokowhai, Dwarf Golden Gipsy and Dwarf Purple Heart from the Dwarf tomato project. They really did not like my growing conditions, plants were not growing well and had diseases quite early, if I remember correctly. I don't remember tasting a fruit from them.

I also tried Polish Dwarf and Dwarf Champion Improved, which grew OK but fruits had nothing special (and were small).

I grew Blanche du Québec for 2 years and I actually liked it. Fruits were small, but taste was good and plants were also great, but for the size of the fruits, I felt it was not early enough. But I'll probably grow it again.

This year, I tried Babylon's Glow, but fruits did not came true to type: I get some small 35-45 g red tomato with stripes... I'll get it from a another source next year.

Next year, I'd like to try more dwarf varieties. I was thinking about:
- Uluru Ochre
- Coastal Pride Orange
- Fred's Tie-Dye (I like pink berkeley tie-dye, so I want to compare them)
- Maybe another orange dwarf, I'll check what is available !
