I am trying out 8 varieties this year. Eagle smiley, Wild fred, Wherokowhai, Uluru ochre, Beryl beauty, Mr snow, Geranium kiss, and Vinces haze. The way they grow is so interesting to see. I need to get some supports on these guys soon and am open to suggestions!

Learned about them recently and decided to grow this season, 5 strains (one is Wherokowhaias well). Very interesting how fat the stems were even at 15 cm height and leaves feel more robust then usual tomatoes as well. Wonder if it makes them less susceptible to sucking insects. By the way, do you plan on pruning suckers (since most of them are still indeterminates)?
I’m giving some Rosella Purple’s a try this year & went full on LeHoullier and put them in straw bales. Early in the season for me but so far so good. I’m just using some bamboo stakes for support – thought of cages but I hate the look of them. No puning other than lower leaves

A regular tomato cage is usually fine for dwarfs ime. I’ve been growing them for a few years and they typically only need a bit of support.
Very nice!!!
They look great 👍
