Comments:

2017	Slightly delayed due to higher temps this year and being out in the hottest part of my garden. A good stand-by as usual other than that. 5 lbs/plant.
2009	Determinate variety with gorgeous delicate leaves, with a slight silver tone. Good for growing as an ornamental alone. Good production, 3" in diameter meaty fruit, excellent taste. Very compact plant, about 18" tall, doesn't require staking. Good container tomato.
