This Year's Tomatoes - The Dwarfs (N-R)

I'm just about done planting out all of these dwarf tomatoes that I have room for. A few more this week and then I'm done! I'm pulling plants out of the greenhouse now and setting them out for the spring. Lots of work to be done!

Here are a few more of the tomatoes I'm growing:

Pink Passion - 65 days, determinate dwarf — The plants are vigorous, dwarf, with rugose regular leaves producing heavy yields of medium sized (four to seven ounce), heart-shaped, pink fruit with a delightful, balanced, sweet flavor.  Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" as a selection out of the "Nosey family" (a cross between 'Roza Vetrov' and 'Anna Banana Russian' made by Patrina Nuske Small).  


Polish Yellow - This dwarf potato leaf type foliage tomato is from heirloom seed from Poland. Get a decent crop of attractive bright yellow tomatoes in the 4 ounce range.

Prima Gold - I can't find anything on this one on-line. It's another one I got from one of my Facebook garden groups. 

Purple Heart Dwarf - 70 days, determinate dwarf — The vigorous, rugose, regular leaf plants are among the most spreading and branching of the dwarf varieties.  Producing heavy yields of medium to medium large sized (six to sixteen ounce) heart shaped purple tomatoes. ‘Dwarf Purple Heart’ has deep crimson flesh with a delicious, well-balanced flavor. Although fairly large, the fruits also ripen relatively early.

Rosalinda - Dwarf Rosalinda tomato is the prettiest pink fruits that are ping pong ball sized. These are sweet, tasty, slightly fruity and inviting. Texture is very nice! Plants are 2.5 – 3 feet tall and would do good in containers. Indeterminate.

Rosella Purple - [Italian heirloom] 65 days. (Dwarf indeterminate) OSSI variety [Bred by the Dwarf Tomato Project, an international group of tomato enthusiasts devoted to breeding short tomato varieties with great flavor.] Similar to Cherokee Purple for great flavor and 6-10 oz. deep-purple fruits, but on shorter plants suitable for container gardening. Productive 36 in. plants need some staking to keep upright and to prevent sunscald. Fruits have few seeds. Rugose foliage.
