I had heard that you might possibly be able to grow them in a South facing window. There are some varieties that are 55 days such as Yellow Canary, Early Wonder and Red Robin, others are 70-85 days.<br /><br />I had to put our dwarf tomato plants under the grow lights because our new kitten liked eating our tomato seedlings and I am now getting tomatoes. I'll share some pic on GRG.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16125611386432494969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-31043306318674999632011-05-02T06:48:57.802-05:002011-05-02T06:48:57.802-05:00Early fruit would make me very happy, Neeli.

I started some Siberian tomatoes which should be good for a shorter growing season (I'm a southern gardener that has been transplanted to Belgium) and they are very compact seedlings. Also have had luck with Tumbling tom's and Early girl's. Hope they do well and start producing soon.<br />Are dwarf varieties just intended for smaller spaces (e.g containers) or do they also tend to be early producers?Neelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101041067369774035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-14378374878800102272011-05-01T17:16:55.295-05:002011-05-01T17:16:55.295-05:00I can't wait to see what they produce, Rob.
