How exciting Karen!

I hope you will get ripe fruit in time to plant them for this season!

I was keen to grow tomatoes in NC this November, but returned to find that my Red Robin seeds wouldn't germinate - grrrr! Desperate for a tomato to grow, I cut open a little yellow cherry tomato that I had brought with me from my garden. The seeds germinated quickly on damp paper towel and I grew one in a pot, even though I knew it would be too big for me to lug in and out on sunny days (but somehow I manage). So far we have had two yellow cherry tomatoes from it while we wait for the Red Robins and Dwarf Arctic Rose to catch up. RR is loaded with green fruit while DAR has four green tomatoes and a ton of flowers.

Growing tomatoes in the winter is fun. BTW I pop the Red Robins under grow lights from around 5 pm until 10 pm and again for an hour or so when we get up in the mornings.
