Another variety to look for is "Patio". I haven't seen them for a
while, but they are a stocky potato-leafed plant with small-to-medium
sized fruit. They were bred for growing in containers, and the plants
are attractive. I don't remember how tall the plants will get if you
set them out in the garden.
Best regards,

A while ago - maybe 15 years or thereabouts - I grew
mini-tomato plants in 8" pots. The plants got to be about a
foot high, and the tomatoes were about the size of ping-pong
balls. I started them under lights and eventually moved
them outdoors.
I grew a red and a yellow. The red one (IIRC) was called
'Red Robin' and I don't remember the name of the yellow one.
I'd like to grow these again this year - and I'd especially
like to be able to give well-started plants in pots to a
shut-in neighbor, but I don't know where to get the seeds.
I *think* they came from Burpee's way back when, but I don't
see them in the current Burpee catalog. Maybe they came
from Park Seed, which inexplicably hasn't sent me a catalog
this year although I've requested one (will try again).
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
