This tomato has already been trimmed twice for height but keeps growing.
Great vigor in this plant, a little too fast.
Have held off fertilizer for now due to fast growth habit.
Looks to be a great plant for my small garden.
Can't wait to see it outdoors in full growth.

Last year was the first time I tried growing tomatoes, and wow, these far exceeded my expectations! I started seeds early in an indoor hydroponic system then transplanted, resulting in a very long harvest season.
The one I put in the planter grew over 3ft and the ones put in the garden beds were over 5ft tall! Once the plants started fruiting, I had to harvest often and trim aggressively to keep up with the maintenance.
The fruits tasted bright and had slight acidic flavor, perfect for eating fresh or throwing in salads or pasta. I’m now a tomato convert, and can’t wait to try more varieties this year!

We love hearing that the bright, slightly acidic flavor was perfect for fresh eating, salads, and pasta. There's nothing quite like that first successful tomato harvest to turn someone into a tomato convert! Your hydroponic start and transplant method sounds like it really gave you that extended harvest season too.

I like the way the seeds were packed. It was sealed perfectly. I also received some thank you seeds. O appreciate that. I will be purchasing some more items from them in the future.
