    This is truly the first year I've grown a "dwarf" tomato - the Tiny Tim. Never thought I would fall in love with a small tomato - but here we are. Totally in it. Also - the potential for folks with only a balcony or tee-tiny yard. Introducing these to my daughter. Thank you!

    FYI we did an indoor winter garden (seeds sown the first week of November 2020) and when Spring came around I sat the container in our greenhouse (from March to May) and the presumed dead tiny Tim I had in the container leafed out again in May. Right now it has flowers and fruit forming on it again on the main stalk and also on a side stalk it put out recently. We are also growing a tiny Tim for the summer garden that is a bit further along than the old one (seed sown in early March 2021), but I suspected they died back but didn't totally die after harvesting, now I know for sure they can come back if you give them a few months of dormancy.

    I grew all dwarf tomatoes this year and love them, no pests, no disease and tons of fruit on each plant. Grew in the grow bags. Will definitely do them again next year. Might try to start from seed. I bought your tiny tim seeds but didn't do any from seed. Will try that next year. I am looking into seeds from the Dwarf tomato Project as they are supposed to be like heirlooms in the taste and will fit in my small space. Thanks for doing this

      Thanks. And thanks for the book support. I don't sterilize them. But you can empty them out. Soak them and water and hydrogen peroxide solution if you want. A gallon of water and cup of h202 is plenty of h202. You probably could use less. Good luck.
