Sowing: Start tomatoes indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring, sowing the seeds in a flat 1/4" deep and 1" apart. Keep the temperature at 70-75 degrees F until germination, as well as providing adequate light in a sunny window or under a grow light; keep the soil moist, but make sure drainage is adequate. When the second set of leaves emerges, transplant the seedlings into individual pots; bury the stems up to the lowest set of leaves to grow strongly rooted plants. A week before planting the seedlings outside, begin exposing them to the weather during the day to harden them; tomatoes cannot endure cold weather, and should not be transplanted outside until frost has passed. When the soil temperature reaches at least 70 degrees F, plant the seedlings in full sun and very rich soil; once more, bury the entire stem up to the lowest set of leaves. If providing a trellis, space the plants 2' apart, but if allowing the vines to spread, space the plants 3-4' apart. For companion planting benefits, plant tomatoes with carrots or onions. Growing: Indeterminate tomato varieties often perform best when provided with a trellis or support. Put the supports in place before the seedlings develop vines. As the vines begin to grow, tying them to the support helps their development. Protect the plants if temperatures drop. A thick layer of mulch helps conserve moisture; water the plants once a week. Pruning the shoots that grow between the main stem and the branches, will greatly improve the production and strength of the plant. Harvesting: Test the ripeness of tomatoes by pressing them gently. The mature color also indicates ripeness. Vine ripened tomatoes have the best flavor, but as soon as frost comes, all tomatoes should be harvested, even the green ones. Unripe tomatoes will ripen eventually if kept in a warm place out of direct sunlight.

NOT Tiny Tim seeds
The seeds I received came in a small baggie rather than store packaging. They are tomato seeds, but what variety is anyone's guess. All I know is they definitely are not Tiny Tim seeds, nor any other type of dwarf tomato.I planted 3 seeds 60 days ago. All 3 grew at completely different rates, with the exact same amount of water, light, and same bag of soil. Tiny Tim's should average about 12 inches in height, yet the tallest plant is now up to 40 inches tall and shows no signs of stopping. Tiny Tim's should be ready to harvest after about 60 days, yet none of the plants have even produced the first flower yet. Sadly this was money wasted as I will have to throw these plants out since they're too big for indoor growing.

Just Great!
My class has been assigned to growing their own fruits and vegetables. We are trying the hydroponics method instead of soil. I have been growing hydroponically for a while, but I have never seen any seeds sprout as large as these cherry tomatoes! (I've inserted a picture) This is only after 3 weeks of planting the seeds! I am so impressed at how well these seeds sprouted. My aerogarden pre pods hadn't even grown that large that fast. Needless to say, I re-ordered these seeds, as well as other seeds from this company! I will definitely be reviewing my anticipated success with my other seeds.

Definitely not Tiny Tim tomatoes!
These seeds germinated well and are growing great, however they are definitely not Tiny Tim. I ordered these for a hydroponic setup in my classroom, and they have far outgrown the lights even with regular pruning. True Tiny Tims would not reach this height.

Very hardy plants
Just planted the a Tiny Tim tomato seeds 4 weeks ago. So far they are very hardy plants. I’ll update once there are tomatoes.

100% Germination and extra seeds.
The description says 40 seeds. But when they arrived, there was at least 100 seeds in the bag. I only planted 8 seeds so far in my indoor hydroponics container and all 8 germinated in rockwool. I kept the seeds covered till they sprouted and then from here on , they're growing under an LED grow light bar.I'm happy with them so far. looking forward to when they start producing tomatoes. but that won't be for awhile.

Not a Tiny Tim!
This is no Tiny Tim. I grew it indoors in a 1 gallon pot, thinking it was not going to get bigger than the advertised 16”, but so far, it is 24”, and it is only about 8 weeks old. I am going to have to put it outside in a bigger container. I would not recommend growing in hydroponic, as it is huge. I had to stake it with a bamboo stick to hold it up. It has been in my window, and I moved it away from the window, and it fell over. Too big for the pot.Update: I planted 3 of these in one gallon pots. I transplanted one into a 24” pot and had to take it outside, as it is over 6 ft tall. It is flowering and has a tiny little tomato now, but this is ridiculous. You didn’t tell us we were getting tomato trees!!!

Strong Starters
3 of 6 seeds germinated, the 3 that didn't were buried just a bit deeper than the ones that did. The 3 that came up are growing very nicely and are strong little plants. I only wanted a few plants for indoor winter harvesting. So far I'm happy with this purchase.
