This Year's Tomatoes - The Dwarfs (E-G)

The next set of tomatoes for this year:

Electric Pinky - A prolific dwarf tomato plant that produces pink with yellow striped fruits on super compact plants. This is such a beautiful plant it really needs to be grown where it can be seen to be appreciated - deeply crinkled rugose foliage that is the most amazing chartreuse color in early spring and late fall.  During the heat of the summer foliage becomes the normal light green. An additional reason to grow Dwarf Electric Pinky where it can be seen is the plant produces its fruits tight up against the stem of the plant, so finding them is sometimes a challenge if you weren't looking for them. Nice even blend of sweet and acid fruits that average around 5 oz.

Faith's Purple Dwarf - I can't find anything on this tomato - it was sent to me from a Tomato group I belong to on Facebook. We'll find out what it's like soon!

Firebird - 75 days, dwarf — 'Dwarf Firebird Sweet' is a rugose, regular leaf dwarf-type plant that produces high yields of medium-sized, oblate-shaped, fruits that ripen to a crimson pink color with gold stripes. It is a beautiful tomato with a sweet, rich, well-balanced flavor. This "Dwarf Tomato Project" variety originated from a cross between an early generation of 'Dwarf Wild Fred' and Wild Boar Farm's 'Beauty King' by Vince Lavallo.

The Fuzz - Can't find anything on this one either.

Geranium Kiss - Stocky 2 ft determinate plants that grow like a nice bush. Would make an excellent tomato for urban and container gardens. Compact plants produce an impressive flush of 20-70, 1 oz fruits, 3-4 sets, a "one-stake wonder". Peace seeds original. Dwarf indeterminate.
