What is new at Becky's Greenhouse? Sun Dipper tomatoes

Another morning of clear, blue sky.  It looks nice out, but I am going to wait till I go out and see what it feels like after yesterday when that wind was so cold.  Temperature is at 37F(3C).  High today is 67F(19C).  So, I would say it is going to be an awesome day.  ENJOY, and stay safe.
 
Australia family and friends for April 17 Thursday will have almost the same temperature as us 71F(21C).   Remember this is their fall season.  Enjoy and also stay safe. 
 
Another new plant Sun Dipper Tomatoes Are a Sweet Snacking Tomato but read how tall it gets, so needs to be stacked.  It is not one for a container.  Give it a try!  Looks fun to eat. 
​
‘Sun Dipper’ tomatoes are a new small-fruited variety with a curvy, elongated shape that makes them perfect for munching by hand, especially with a dip. The plant is resistant to common tomato diseases and pests. This tomato plant is relatively compact and it ripens fruit fairly early in the season, with the harvest continuing over many weeks.
Fruit: 'Sun Dipper' tomatoes are elongated fruits with a shape slightly like the number 8. Their flavor is sweet, like a cherry tomato. Maturing to about 2 inches long and ripening bright orange, the first fruits are ready to pick 60 to 65 days after transplant.
Habit: This tomato plant reaches 5 feet or taller, with a 4 foot spread. It is an indeterminate tomato, meaning that the plant will continue to grow, flower and set fruit as long as conditions are favorable. (This is the opposite to determinate tomatoes, varieties that stop growing at their mature height and produce flowers and fruit in one flush.)
How to grow it: 'Sun Dipper' is resistant to fusarium, nematodes and tomato mosaic virus. Its needs are typical of any garden tomato plant: full sun, fertile soil and even watering. In most regions 'Sun Dipper' seeds should be sown indoors about six weeks before the typical last frost date. Seedlings can move into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Initial harvest can be expected 60 to 65 days after transplanting. Because this is an indeterminate tomato, it will require sturdy wooden stakes or a tomato cage for support.
