I’ve not had much success with tomatoes in my 3B Alaska garden, so researched a ton and found 3 companies based on what I found. Excited to try some of these tiny tomatoes. If you’ve grown any of these varieties would love advice! Starting the far left today in seed snails. The others will be started soon and then I’ll move them into a little plastic greenhouse outside. I will build a greenhouse in the future but for now the cheapo plastic is what I have.

Barrys Crazy Cherry is damn good! One of my absolute favorites😁
I get so much FOMO when I see the varieties everyone else is planting. I’ve started 36 plants already. I need to stop.
I was born in Alaska but live in North Carolina now, where the growing season is pretty generous. I still like the early varieties for an early harvest and the micros dwarfs are just fun to grow. I am doing Stupice for the first time this year, along with Bloody Butcher, and Summer girl.
Azoychka looks very interesting. It’s one I keep hoping I will have room to try, since I like tomatoes that are somewhat tart. My climate is very different from yours (NE Texas.)
FWIW, I’ve grown a lot of tomatoes from Victory Seeds and have always been pleased with their reliable germination.
I grew the Victory Seeds Dwarf Cherry Mocha last year (in central Texas) and it was absolutely delicious and beautiful! They were very easy to germinate and at full height my plant was under 24” tall growing in a self watering container. The plants are very sturdy however the fruit on mine got so large it did need some supports to prevent it from falling over. I am actually using my leftover seeds that I had from last year and have had a 100% germination rate so far on the 5 additional plants I’ve started.
Midnight Sun wasn’t the most productive tomato I grew last year, but it was definitely the prettiest. The Piennolo’s are crazy, they lasted like 4 months on the vine after harvest.
Ooo…I’m’m a big fan of the Azoychka
Midnight Sun is a very special tomato. Might not get many, but you will love the ones you do get.
Tims taste of paradise is my current favorite cherry tomato. So savory kinda like nutty undertones. So good! Heavy producer as well! Marzano fire is way better than reg San Marzano in my opinion, and Midnight Sun is so beautful and tastes great!
