Notes:
love these tomatoes: cool coloring and taste great
shape of the little tomatoes was kind of boxy
at first they were hard to tell when to pick, but then I found they actually turn more yellow than green when ripe
2010: unknown disease: grey fruit; brown patches on stem; brown inside stem; yellow wilted leaves turned brown; the other one produced steadily through August, then took September off, then started up again in October
2011: wilt killed one plant early in the season, second plant died in September
2012: wilt killed one in mid-Aug; other plant out-competed (pine tree roots)
2013: wilt killed 1st one mid-June; pulled the 2nd one out in early July (CTV)
2014: grafting was a success (non-grafted died mid-season), but rootstock promoted too much vegetative growth rather than fruit; will try other rootstock 2015
