Ok another rave tomato review. We started these indoors in January. Zone 9b in the FL panhandle. These are very sturdy and resilient determinate plants. We have gotten an abundance of larger slicing and almost large cherry tomatoes off these plants (go figure). This is the first year of gardening that I’m having to give away and can tomatoes. Definitely recommend
