Grew these from seed indoors, started in March and transplanted to raised beds in June. Prolific blooms and tomatoes. It is doing very well in the high temps this summer – 100-117 degrees continuous. It does grow very tall so requires some type of trellis. Not as bushy (less foliage) compared to other heirlooms I am growing, which makes it preferable for my backyard garden. As of early August, I don't have any ripe yet, but looking forward to trying them in a couple weeks.
