The other day I saw that one of the dwarf tomatoes I'm growing was absolutely loaded with greenies and a couple just about ripe. I counted the tomatoes on that plant and there were 31. Whoa! It was Sweet Satsuma, one I've never done.


Yesterday I picked the first two. They weighed 2.9 oz and 2.6 oz respectively, a tad over 2" wide.


I just cut one open to taste it and I don't think it's completely ripe yet so I'll let the other one sit awhile and try it again later.

Thanks for the pictures. I am planning to convert to Dwarfs in 2025. At first I was planning on reducing to about a dozen the old heirloom indeterminates that I plant. It's hard to get rid of something that you have grown for 20 or 30 years. So I am in the process of planning for several new beds.

I have only grown BrandyFred and New Big Dwarf this year. None ripe yet but loads of tomatoes. If you have grown other dwarfs, would appreciate any information you can provide. I have a list of about 24 I have to order. Most of the dwarfs will be Potato leaf. I seem to have less disease with PL than with RL. Dr. Male thought it had to do with the thickness of the PL leaves. No evidence, just anecdotal. But I do agree with her position. At the end of the year, I can look at my tomatoes and tell which ones had the least foliar disease.

Since I live in Alaska I don’t think dwarfs are gonna be good for me I have Yukon quest only 2 tomatoes that are tiny and uluru okre 0 tomatoes both started on February 23 both put in a greenhouse so it was out of weather fertilized properly and so on.. did not perform in my area might be good for you I cannot say
