Nice
I grew Tiny Tim tomatoes on the front porch where they did not get much sun, but they got enough sun to produce great cherry tomatoes that had great flavor. They are supposed to be determinate, but only freezing weather slowed down production. Bringing all the green cherry tomatoes I picked inside, they all ripened after a few days and tasted great.
