Husky Cherry Red isn't from the Dwarf Tomato Project but is an early tree-type. Large-ish cherry, tough skin. 65 days according to somebody; mine may have been earlier than that. It's a very narrow plant, but do use a support (the lightweight, tall "pepper cages" I used were perfect). I grew mine in 3.5 gallon containers.

I've used Fafard 3B, 52, and nursery mix. 3B is a medium mix where as the other 2 are a heavier weight good for larger containers. I did the 5-1-1 the first 2 years I did containers.... Ridiculously amount of work for me as I have over 200 five gallon containers to fill plus a group of larger ones. Cost wise - a lrg bag of fafard was under 20 and filled 5ish five gallon containers. Less then 4 dollars each. 5-1-1 cost close to 3 dollars each and literally took hours to sift and mix... Didn't see any difference in production and health of plants. ( I use a slow release fertilizer in both- ) For me fafard is worth that extra dollar any day! Those green eggplant! None of my seeds have germinated this year. I threw an email to my source out in Arizona and she is having he same problem. One nursery out near New Orleans has the plants but doesn't ship. I'm trying to convince them to make an exception! I'm growing a green apple and rosa Bianca . Have been told the rosa Bianca is just as sweet and mild as the green heirloom.. Will have to see. I'll have plenty of tomatoes and peppers (hots and sweets) and such to share... I've been wanting to make a trip to the arboretum end April, first May time frame so definitely can meet up. It's going to be difficult missing the exchange this Spring, took a gamble that it would be held end of April time frame and booked May. Luckily the Fall one is not too far away! And just for the record, you're the one that brings the most awesome plants! Got me addicted to salvias., Heucheras , etc. Ha

Thanks for the responses. There are four plants in a row, in containers on the south-facing side of my greenhouse. All have the same (adequate) water; see healthy one in second pic. The symptoms remind me of early blight, or some type of necrosis; the developing fruit is so far unaffected. At this point I'm assuming I'm going to have to yank them, perhaps after seeing if the tomatoes on them ripen.

Actually they have released 108 varieties from the Dwarf Tomato Project since 2010. I think 24 may be new releases this year. Victory seeds offers all of them. I haven't grown any of them before but I ordered 7 varieties this year from Victory seeds and Heritage Seed Market. Heritage sent me a couple bonus packs as well. I plan to grow 7 of them this year. Some in a raised bed and some in containers. The project has officially come to a close now but many of the collaborators are continuing on with the breeding.
