greeneyes, you were interested in the Cherry Punch tomatoes from Burpee. I said this is the one I will start later to grow in the house in winter. This is a Burpee only seed they developed. It grows best in containers and is like no other tomato in terms of vitamin C. I got two envelopes of them (20 seeds in each envelope) and will freeze one envelope in a glass jar, keep it in the freezer. I'll start a couple of seeds today to see what this plant will do, but my objective is to see if I can grow it totally inside for winter and have tomatoes in the winter - it is indeterminate so will keep producing through the winter.

On the envelope it says:
“More than 3 times the vitamin C of standard varieties. Compact 24 inches tall by 36 wide plants do best in containers. Indeterminate. Harvest about 48 days after transplanting.”
“Start indoors. Plant 1/4 inch deep. Seedlings emerge in 7-10 days.”

Sounds like a nice tomato to try indoors for sure. Speaking of which, I have 2 of my cherry tomatoes that are turning. They are a nice shade of orange. Won’t be long till I can have a taste.LOL
