Did great in my High Desert Garden

I planted these in my Utah (Carbon County) garden in at an altitude of ~6500 ft. I have 3 plants in my garden which are producing a high number of ripe tomatoes on a dayly basis. We have a short growing season so my plants were slow to get going they have out passed everything else in my garden. The flavor is sweet. I do like a bit more tartness in my tomatoes but I over all really like the flavor.

Hardy Plant

Excellent germination rate! We are currently coming off a nearly month long heat wave where the average temp has been 106 -111 here in the high desert of SOCAL. Despite that, I have 3 fairly healthy plants in lightly amended, half shaded raised bed. No tomatoes yet, but that is due to the heat, and probably a few soil issues. Next time I will plant a bit earlier than June, provide more shade(high elevation + intense sun have been bad for my crops), and I think these will be a winner for me! Highly recommend this variety for those of us with not so great soil and intense heat.

Will let you know next year this time.

I ordered too late for this year. Am saving to start early inside next year. Looking forward to growing it.
