I have been growing Red Robin from saved seed for six years now. The original seed was purchased mail order. I have been expecting it to fail every year but it continues to maintain the same growth habits and fruit production. I have such increasing demand for it from friends and family that I started 100 plants this year. A great container tomato and a heavy producer that produces orangish-red cherry tomatoes of what I consider to be mediocre flavor (the fruit looks and tastes the same as from the plants that were grown from the original seed). But kids love growing and caring for the plants and love to pick "their" tomatoes and eat them, so that makes it a valuable tomato variety as far as I am concerned. I have been cramming seven plants into 6 gallon pots and that makes a wonderful little tomato shrub. This method also makes it easy to add a little support when the fruits start to set and size up. This year I am going to plant them in some half-barrel planters for at the local elderly care center. Many of the residents there used to garden and I think they will enjoy watching "their" tomatoes grow as well. -Tom
