Thank you so much for the feedback.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing.

That is a very good question, but it definitely depends on variety and care. I have harvested more fruit from Tanager, Adelaide Festival and Sweet Scarlet Dwarf in past years but have not kept track of total yields. Last year I planted some F3 seeds that Craig LeHoullier sent me…Blues Bling x Dwarf Mocha’s Cherry and Don’s Double Delight x Dwarf Mocha’s Plum were consistently LOADED with fruit and had even higher yields in spite of their compact side. However, they got hit with blight earlier than the other varieties.

I am sure you will enjoy them! They have helped keep my plants alive MANY times when I have been out of town or on vacation. Enjoy!

I am sorry to hear that you got stung too. They are nasty creatures! I was very lucky to have just read about them what to do for the sting...very, very lucky. Hope you are staying cool too but I imagine you can only do that inside with temps in the 90s at 12 pm. Ugh!

Thank you. It was lots of fun. Will be trying other types of seeds next.

What zone are you in that you can plant directly in the garden? I try to grow year round so I have to start inside then transplant out as space opens up in the garden and temperature are favorable. I like the idea of skipping the potting up step, but I would need to buy more grow lights if I start in larger pots. Thank you for the tip on the nutrient-water!

@@veggy360 I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I should have said don't repot from one container to another before transplant. I start mine in in 2.5" x 2.5" wide by 3.5" tall pots (smallish). Instead of transferring into another pot, I just let it continue to grow in the same pot until transplant out in the garden. In my small pots, the plants can get large, but it doesn't hurt anything, and in fact, may prevent repotting shock. Certainly saves space. I'm not sure why folks keep repotting before transplant. I think it's a copy and paste thing. You know, someone sees it and takes it as "the way." Don't get me wrong, repotting does work of course, but it's an extra step that's not needed.

Yay! Thank you! You made my day🙂

I hope you will give them a try. Definitely easier than indeterminates and very productive. Although I will always plant indeterminates, the dwarf tomatoes have made a great addition to my garden. There have been so many varieties developed now that you will have great options for fruit size, color, flavor and texture. Happy planting!

Glad to hear your dwarfs resisted better. Which varieties did you plant? Were any of them more resistant? Here is what I do for blight control. This year, however, I will start spraying earlier! 1) Remove all leaves below 1st set of blooms and, and lower leaves close to the soil to prevent "splash up" onto the leaves. 2) Dwarf tomatoes have a lot of leaves for their size so I prune out excess leaves to improve air flow (this really helped in 2023). This year I will prune more & start earlier. 3) Prune off the diseased leaves as the leaf spot diseases start to appear, cleaning the pruning shears with an alcohol spray between plants to prevent further spread. I make sure to leave enough leaves on the plant though for photosynthesis. 4) Use foliar sprays regularly to control disease as much as possible. I use a hydrogen peroxide spray or a baking soda spray, alternating as needed. Gary Pilarchik has a great video @THERUSTEDGARDEN, ua-cam.com/video/9yGsIepqWXk/v-deo.html on how to use the hydrogen peroxide spray (4-8 oz. per gallon of water). Baking soda spray: 1 heaping tablespoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon vegetable oil & a small amount of mild soap in a gallon of water. PLEASE do a test spray & wait 48 hours before spraying all your tomato plants. Best of luck to you for a great 2024 gardening year!

@@veggy360 From memory Tanager, Egypt Yellow, Kangaroo Paw Brown, JackAss Yellow, Golden Champion, Dwarf Champion, Lemon Ice, Tasmanian Chocolate and New Big Dwarf all seemed to come back pretty well with new leaf growth and fruits late into the fall. CC McGhee, Rosella Purple & Crimson, Rumpelstiltskin, Adlelaide Festival & Dwarf Mr. Snow all died before I could get any fruit. Not sure if it was specific to the type or location of the planters or just luck. As you can tell I prefer mostly low acid varieties 😀...

Wow! Very impressive collection of Dwarfs. This year & and last, Tanager, Adelaide Festival and Rosella Crimson were hit by blight but bounced back very well after spraying with hydrogen peroxide spray and/or baking soda spray. We were able to harvest right up till frosty temps took them down.

@@veggy360 Hydrogen Pereoxide and Baking Soda? Thanks for the tips, will get some of that to have on hand for this season! I'm really looking forward to this spring. Got seed for the Gondwana Series of Dwarfs direct from Tasmania...

Glad you liked it. Thank you for watching🙂

I am in zone 7a. The average last frost is April 23 and the first frost is October 19.

Which varieties are you planting this year? Would love to hear how they are doing, and which ones you will be planting next year as I am always looking for new varieties to try.

@@veggy360 We have 'Dwarf Saucy Mary' (the shortest plants) 'Dwarf Franklin County', 'Dwarf Egypt Yellow' (the earliest tomato) and l think 'Dwarf Stony Brook'. Growing them at 55 degrees North and change in the Skeena Valley in British Columbia. Too early to see which varieties perform best here yet, but l will save plenty of seeds from all of them for our future community garden uses and to distribute freely next year at the annual 'Seedy Saturday' along with some unique flower seeds like 'ALASKA' marigold or large flowered dahlias we are growing in our community garden this year and other veggies. Making my own onion seeds this year, some 'Borettana' onions & a bunch of Washington state grown onions that were forgotten in the community hall's pantry for months and were planted in the field along with a few of our 2022 garden's remaining 'Blush' onions as an experiment. The 'Blush' onions are awesome! Great keepers too. l wanna see what happens. The Borettana onions are far away from these onions. l'm hoping to get some hybridisation between the 'Blush' onions and the brawny Washington state onions. l just recently got promoted to 'head gardener' and quite enjoy being able to do these experiments.

Love what you are doing for the community garden! Sounds like you have to opportunity to help so many people. Very cool! Your onion seed project sounds fun...wish you the best on that.

@@veggy360 Thank's, eh? lt is fun and a great way for a 58 year old aluminium smelter retiree like me to keep busy and stay in shape. l LOVE the friendships with the crew too. We hang out after work and have a few... Also growing ' 'Dwarf Laura's Bounty' as well. Checked the list... found it on it.

I am sorry about that. I recorded the video at the Pearson Cancer Center, where the tomatoes are growing. Unfortunately the very large and noisy HVAC system is next to the garden and it creates a lot of background noise. I used editing software to scrub out as much of the background noise as possible without affecting my voice quality too much...I think I need to try a different software program.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will be doing an update later in the season so will definitely keep that in mind.

​@@veggy360I disagree, very easy to follow video. Anyone can pause and rewind if they need to check the information. Maybe add chapters in the titled with each plant to make that easier but not really necessary

Thank you @spenerchamp. I like your suggestion.

Sounds intriguing. I will need to try it...can you send pics?

@@veggy360 well so there u have it. I made 3 videos showing my chicken wire cage vases. You tube deleted it.

Your Tanager is definitely taller than mine! Last year it was the tallest of my dwarf tomatoes but this year Sweet Scarlet Dwarf will win that prize. Let me know what you think of the flavor...it was my favorite last year.

@@veggy360 ok so good. That at least means its supposed 2b tall. Cuz yea i was worried mine was bad seed or labeled wrong. I am wondering just how tall its gonna get. I am guessing 9ft. plus.

Thank you!

Thank you, glad you liked the video. It was great meeting you at my presentation the other day!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Both great places to shop! Thank you for sharing your favorites.

Thank you!

Thank you, so glad you liked the video. Best wishes for a great gardening year for you!

I will definitely try that one this year. Tomatoes in our area were hit hard by early blight this year, I am looking for very resistant plants. Thank you for your reco!

Thank you for all your work in co-founding the Dwarf Tomato Project! Thanks to the leadership that you and Craig have provided, y'all have blessed so many gardeners in so many countries with a rich selection of dwarfs. I too enjoy hearing how different varieties do in different climates, and I look forward to trying more varieties. I will definitely be adding Sneaky Sauce to the list for this year!

@@veggy360 It’s a pleasure being able to bring these to the public worldwide 😁 You’ll find that even your favourites don’t give their full potential each season, so I always encourage people to try them a few different summers. Sneaky Sauce outlasted everything in my worst ever season, producing about 40 tomatoes on one plant. We had so much rain that most plants just refused to set fruit and got diseased extremely fast but Sneaky Sauce didn’t seem to care at all 🤩

I am so happy that you will be trying some dwarf toms I will be adding to my "collection" next year so please let me know how Tasmanian Chocolate and Gondwana Lava do for you. I too was surprised at how large some of the dwarf tomato plants got. Tanager and Maralinga seemed to be the largest but I will definitely be planting both of them next year. Strong cages are definitely a good idea. I actually had to use a stake for the taller ones to better support them. Thank you for watching, and I look forward to hearing your dwarf toms do!

Hope you enjoy Gondwana Lava, it was my favourite tomato of the season a couple years ago ☺️

Kale will get sweeter and more tasty after 1st frost. My favorite kales are Russian Red Kale (milder flavor, tender leaves) and Dazzling Blue Kale (very colorful Tuscan-type kale). These are both great served in salads as "baby greens" or allowed to grow more and served cooked. I am not a fan of eating the larger leaves raw by themselves, but some people like them that way. They are both of these kales are especially good in smoothies when mixed with carrots and different types of fruit like apples and berries. My favorite way of cooking the kale is to sautee garlic and onions in olive oil, then add some chopped kale and some soy sauce. Cook till still slightly tender, then add a splash of honey vinegar to finish it off. You can buy on-line at vomfassmadison-universityave.com/products/honey-balsamic-vinegar. I would encourage you to try different ways of cooking kale, or serving the baby leaves raw as they can be very tasty and are highly nutritious. Thank you for watching!

Awesome! Thank you!

I am in central Virginia, zone 7a. Which varieties did you plant? How did they do?

I am sorry but I don't have any experience growing hydroponically....yet. Let me do some research on that and get back to you.

I checked with my contact at Victory Seeds. He is not aware of any of the dwarf varieties that would not perform well with hydroponics. Here are links to some of their most popular varieties that you might want to try: victoryseeds.com/products/boronia-tomato victoryseeds.com/products/tasmanian-chocolate-tomato victoryseeds.com/products/adelaide-festival-tomato Adelaide Festival did great for us in containers as well as in ground...check out my "year in review" video at ua-cam.com/video/E65ifMmb4kA/v-deo.html Please let me know what you decide to try, and let me know how they do.

@@veggy360 Thanks for responding! I'll choose something to order then let you know how it goes(i mean grows!).

Yes, David. You are spot on with them being open pollinated. Thank you for mentioning that very important point🙂

You're welcome!

Uploaded a taste testing video...check it out at ua-cam.com/video/Qn02uXe6E-U/v-deo.html

Are "Mini" varieties the same as dwarf, I just ordered mini from cottages farms.

Let me do some checking around and get back to you on the beefsteak and cherry tomato varieties would be best for your area. Glad you will be getting the seeds from Victory Seeds...I got close to 100% germination on the seeds that I ordered from them.

Here are several recommendations that Jon at Victory Seeds has provided. I have only tried Sweet Scarlet so far, and have been particularly impressed with it. I will be trying several of Jon's reco's next year!
