Orange Hat Micro Dwarf Cherry Tomato - Heirloom Tomato Vegetable Seeds
Solanum lycopersicum
Listing is for 1 packet of 15 seeds

Orange Hat is my favorite micro dwarf tomato based on flavor. Micro dwarf tomatoes are perfect for containers, GreenStalk Garden Towers, or tiny spaces, and they thrive indoors under grow lights. The plants stay super small, usually under 12 inches. Don't let their size fool you – they pump out loads of small, orange cherry-sized fruits. Plus, they keep on giving, with new flowers and fruit popping up after each harvest. This cultivar is also called Oranzhevaja Shapochka in Russia, which means "Orange Riding Hood." 

Follow me on social media because I share lots of information on growing this tomato variety and other gardening tips. IG, YT, and TikTok: jerrasgarden. 

TOMATO CHARACTERISTICS
Determinate

Color: Orange

Flavor profile: Fruity and sweet

Average fruit size: cherry

Height/Fertilizing: height can vary as it depends on your growing conditions and care. My plants typically get 6-8 feet vines. I have a fertilizing regimen which definitely helps achieve this kind of growth but is not necessary. Adding small doses of an organic fertilizer every week has really helped me take my tomato growing to another level. Synthetic fertilizers can burn or damage plants if used too often. Therefore, I recommend organic fertilizers because they wont damage plants when used often. However, do what suits your garden and the products you like to use. 

This is my current fertilizing regimen: I start by fertilizing weekly with 1/8 cup of Espoma Tomato tone sprinkled at the base of each plant. Once the plants start to bloom, I start alternating the weeks. One week with the Espoma Tomato Tone and then the next week with this recipe: mix 1 cup of Azomite dust and 1/4 cup of Fox Farms Tiger Bloom liquid into a 5 gallon bucket of water and pour some at the base of each plant. 

PLANTING
Germination: 7-14 days. To speed up germination I recommend using a heat mat. 

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/8” deep 

Sowing: I highly recommend to start in pots in doors with a heat mat 6-8 weeks before your last frost date. If you gardening in Florida, we kind of have two opportunities to grow tomatoes per year. You can start them in doors around July 1st and transplant into the garden end of September for fall/winter harvest. Or you can start from seed in doors 6-8 weeks from your last frost date for spring harvest. 

Days to maturity: 60 days from sowing the seed
