Last year I grew these in a container and they grew as expected, with a delicious harvest. I grew them again this year, but in raised beds. What a surprise to see how they exploded upwards! The vines on each of my three plants are easily 5-6 feet in length now in mid-Sept with good vertical trellising. I transplanted them out in early April in my zone 7a garden, and they took closer to 90 days to mature. They are performing like an indeterminate this year, with ongoing production even now, despite disease and pest pressure. I half-wondered if the seeds were mislabeled. Whatever this is, I want it again next year! It's my favorite tomato in the garden. Some of our favorite ways to enjoy it are: on salads, in pesto pasta, cooked with feta/quinoa/zucchini/herbs, in pad kee mao, tossed with onions/herbs/lime for a quick chunky salsa on nachos. Also great as a garden snack!

It's so interesting that you noticed the difference in growth habit between container and raised bed growing - that's exactly the kind of real-world growing insight that helps other gardeners know what to expect! Those 5-6 foot vines in your raised beds sound absolutely incredible, and the fact that they're still producing strong in mid-September despite disease and pest pressure really speaks to their resilience.
We absolutely love all the creative ways you're enjoying your harvest! From pesto pasta to pad kee mao to that quick chunky salsa - you're really making the most of those delicious little tomatoes. And honestly, there's nothing better than a great garden snacking tomato!

My second year growing this variety and I’ll continue to do so this year! In zone 9b and grew them this past summer and now in January, I have picked 4lbs between 2 overgrown plants.

I’m in love with these cherry tomatoes! Have grown them outdoors in pots and indoors in my hydroponic garden. They germinated and grew well in both conditions, although they really flourished indoors. My hydroponic plants are a year old and producing consistently. The tomatoes pictured in the bowl are at various stages of ripeness, and they end up nearly orange when fully ripe. The taste is among the best of cherry tomatoes in my opinion.

Definitely high yielding! Im in Zone 7A and started the seeds indoors around end of March, planted outside end of May. It's Sept 29 now and it's still producing fruits and flowers! I thought this was a determinate plant but mine grew past 7ft and still growing it's somewhat gotten out of control. Also, they tasted better when you let them ripe on the vine.
