MICRO VAFRIETIES

[Jeannine Anne]

I have been collecting them this last year and would like to find out which varieties other folks grow , which they prefer and why .I can't find much info about them.

My aim is to grow them under lights in winters

Thank you

Tiny tim is very sweet if left on the plant until very ripe,otherwise it's bland. I'm growing orange hat and red Robin but nothing is ripe yet.

[Jeannine Anne]

Thank you. I have all those three, Orange Hat is my favorite ,good to know the Tiny Tim is better when very ripe.
I only one of my own which came from a sport off a Tommy Toe plant, one whole branch was very small, the next year the seeds I kept from that branch were all micro from that branch the rest were typical Tommy Toe.. I have been growing them for about 14 years now. Carolyn explained it all to me.I call them Tiny Toes .

Haven't tries Orange Hat. Who sells those seeds?


Tiny Tim and Red Robin are good.
I have some volunteers that came up in the fall.
I have them under lights indoors. They have some fruit on them but nothing ripe yet.

Good to see everyone again.

Red Robin is 'Just Good" Amen.

Is Red Hat an Heirloom Tomato???

I was just going to post the same thing when I saw this thread.

I just planted the following:
Florida Petite,
Baby,
Cадовая жемчужина розовая = Sadovaja Zhemchuzhina Rozovaja [Garden Pearl Pink]
and
Sissie's Britches Variegated, all from HR Seeds.

I have no idea what to expect, pot size, partial sun/shade for Florida summer? special needs, etc. One source said I can prune one which is determinant and keep it growing for years. How and when do you prune a determinant tomato plant for extended growth?

[Jeannine Anne]

Coincidently, I have a couple of those varieties in the mail as we speak, Personally I would not prune them and I would give them sun if growing outside not shade but I am not in your area so perhaps someone else can answer that question.

Thanks, I ordered them. Of course I had to order more seeds they had that looked interesting.

[Jeannine Anne]

Yep, it is a dangerous place to visit especially for me as I have so little space now.I sure miss my land but my need or rather love of seeds doesn't go away . I thin you will be happy with the Orange Hat
