- Patrick E.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars10/16/26Great Tomatoes!
This is the third year growing these. I’m forced to grow them in pots on my deck, and they do very well with the heat, the pots, etc., but are also very disease resistant. They are the only variety still producing tomatoes and even new flowers in mid October in southwest Ohio. I never change the soil in my pots and they really hold up well. One of my favorite varieties!

- Ann L. K.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars3/6/26Disappointed
We had purchased a chocolate sprinkles plant at HomeDepot in the past and they were the best cherry tomatoes ever! Couldn't find them again so purchased these seeds. The seeds sprouted but didn't continue to grow despite daily TLC. They have looked like this for weeks. Very disappointed.
