Dwarf Tomato Update. 6.12.2021

The dwarf tomatoes continue to grow and look healthy and lush, but short statured. Most are blooming profusely, and there are a few tomatoes set now - BrandyFred, Extreme Dwarf, and Alpatieva 905a.

I'll have to edit in the variety names later.  It's next to impossible on my tablet.  However, the top one is "Extreme Bush" grown in a container in potting soil. The first one is Extreme Bush, on the deck, in regular potting soil.
Dwarf CC Mcgee, from the "Dwarf Tomato Project", a potato leaf type. The leaves were chlorotic but have completely recovered and it is growing nicely. Planted in the ground in the tomato bed.
BrandyFred tomato, from the "Dwarf Tomato Project", also potato leafed type.  Planted in container in a soil / compost / cactus soil mix.
I'm not sure, the labels disappeared from a couple.  I think this is "Clare Valley Pink" from the Dwarf Tomato Project.  Planted in the ground in the tomato bed.
Developing fruit on "Alpatieva 905A" grown in container in potting soil. Developing fruit on Extreme Bush, same plant posted earlier.
Plant of Alpatieva 905A, same one as developing fruit photo posted earlier.  In potting soil in container.
Another I'm not certain of.  I think this is "Dwarf Johnson Cherry" from the Dwarf Tomato Project.  That's the only cherry variety I'm growing from the project, so if it's a cherry, that's what it is for certain.
None of these dwarf tomatoes have even a third the size of regular height tomatoes, and they seem to be bloming and developing fruit as early or even before most of them.
