Title: Tiny tim tomato
Post by: davholla on December 27, 2007, 12:39:49
Has anyone ever tried growing this in their house from seed ?
Also as it is not F1 if successful can I keep the seed and grow again next year ?

Haven't tried them yet Davholla, but I've ordered both Tiny Tim and Micro Tom seeds and will be trying some indoors as well as out. As I understand it they're ideal for growing as pot plants on windowsills.

BTW, where did you get your seeds? I ordered mine from the US company Pinetree Garden Seeds (aka Superseeds): www.superseeds.com

Darnit! Must've missed that one when searching for suppliers! Can highly recommend Nicky's for good stuff and friendly service.

I'd certainly give the toms a try - and while you're there order some windowsill chillies to go with them - Numex Twilight or Fiesta are ideal.

I have a few  that were  planted about  6 weeks ago, an experiment for indoor growing,I have done it before a long time ago with other types but these are new to me, and then I had a small under light growing area inside, so I don't know how this will go XX Jeannine

I've grown Tiny Tim for two years in succession (from saved seed) but the plant is rather large for the average windowsill with a height of about 90cm and a spread around 60cm.  Micro toms on the other hand are ideal as they barely reach 30cm tall.

Yes Tiny Tim comes true from seed. as to growing in a house?-light levels?. I`m trying to convert my patio customers on to TT as opposed to tumbler-tumbler is OK but it`s quite vigorous
