Thanks for the info on Rosella Purple (and others) folks. Rosella Purple is one of the more compact children of the Sleepy family, and maybe a determinate? Not sure, maybe semi-determinate... but the Sneezies by comparison get rather tall yet are still of the dwarf-type with thick stems and rugose foliage. My daughter's Snowy F2 plant was so heavy it bent the stake, a thick recycled plastic stake that can't break. That plant needed a cage!

Ted, sorry to hear of your troubles there in TX! In your climate you might need to do fall planting like Michael, who grows for the project each year during the Southern Hemisphere growing season. He's on the SH team in fact

Maybe you could try rooting some cuttings from your plants and planting them in a month's time? Anyhow I hope you get an opportunity to sample some tomatoes after all the hard work!

Good luck!
Patrina
