Thank you for the feedback September. If they produce in quantity, and have the flavor I'm looking for, I could see a whole row of these plants in the garden and easier to maintain. We'll see how this goes.

We at The Depot are crossing many Dark tomatoes and have quite a few really tasty ones in all colors, hearts also and many are stipred..but the key is flavor
I applaud the efforts of the dwarf project, but they are not the only game in town, many of us have been working on things as long or longer {In some cases} the key is trying to get the flavor of an indeterminate into a plant that is easy to control and productive plus..small..this alone is easier said than done.
Myself and other breeders have been doing alot of work with stripes and heart dwarfs and of course the darker ones using alot different parents than those in the dwarf project, some results are stellar while some are dead ends, only time will tell, the people in our projects are not hamppered by seasons as we all heve greenhouses and grow all winter thus giving us an advantage of 3 generations per season as opposed to 1.
So things that are F1 can be F3 before the season ends.
