    I'd look up the dwarf tomato breeding project. I'm growing Sean's Yellow & Beauty King dwarfs this year. They only grow 3-4ft tall, so should do well anywhere in which height is an issue. Like the back row in most greenhouses, or poly.
    A large pot on a patio would also be a good spot for them. Four foot ish, plus a foot and a little for the pot. Still leaves with a max height of about five and a half foot. Most indeterminate tomatoes will be a good eight-foot tall, if you have a decent year. Then you have issues reaching/staking them.
    Dwarfs aren't determinates. They are basically indeterminate tomatoes, which grow at half the rate. So say your dwarf is the result of breeding a plant that could reach eight, or nine foot tall. The dwarf should max out round four to maybe five at most. With the vast majority being in that four foot ish range.
    There are a few talks on here by Greg, who headed the breeding project. LUCKY GARDEN also has a lot of tomato reviews, including some on dwarf verities.
    I hope this helps, all the best for 2023.

    Good morning, Erica, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸
    I'm glad you are getting started, even if you are slower than usual.
    I'm glad to see your garden channel growing.
    I raise worms 🪱, Vermiculture. I use 25% Worm Castings in my Potting soil. I haven't used peat moss in several years.

      I'd always rather it be bright and cold this time of year. Than a few degrees warmer, overcast, and rainy. I have been in my poly tunnel a fair few days already in a sleeveless t-shirt. It's like a washing line in there with long sleeve tops, jumper, and jackets, lol. Deckchair, and a cuppa like it's a summer's day.
      And that's Tyrone in the north-west of Ireland. We get a lot of wind & rain here. So those bright days in the poly with seedlings, and a cuppa are a big moral boost.

    Hi I’m in Lincolnshire and it’s my first year doing a little allotment in my garden. I love that you say the date your making your videos because that’s a big help to me, I think we must have a similar climate and you see so many videos that you don’t know when and where people are filming that it can be confusing. Wish me luck your videos have some great tips 🤞🏼🪴🙏🏼☀️😀

    I’m in North Cornwall, and I’ve had a struggle getting motivated, there have been the odd day I’ve managed to get beds in the garden tidied , I’ve also got broad beans doing really well along with some very early peas that have coped with the constant wind and rain, I’ve just found out the temperature is going to drop again at night for a few days. I am desperate for some warm sunny days like you , hopefully it won’t be long now, thanks Erica it’s good to know someone else feels as I do.
