Orange Hat is my favorite micro dwarf tomato based on flavor. Micro dwarf tomatoes are perfect for containers, GreenStalk Garden Towers, or tiny spaces, and they thrive indoors under grow lights. The plants stay super small, usually under 12 inches. Don't let their size fool you – they pump out loads of small, orange cherry-sized fruits. Plus, they keep on giving, with new flowers and fruit popping up after each harvest. This cultivar is also called Oranzhevaja Shapochka in Russia, which means "Orange Riding Hood."

When To Sow Seeds: General guidelines recommend to start seeds indoors, 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost date.

Place over heat mats, use grow lights, and fertilize once the first set of true leaves appear to speed up growth.

Common Diseases: Tomatoes catch a ton of common leaf diseases caused by various pathogens that die when treated with hydrogen peroxide. If you notice powdery mildew, yellow spots, or black lesions on the stems, spray with 1 cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water to clean and disinfect. Repeat every 3 to 5 days until you notice the spread has stopped. If a lot of rain is expected, pre-treatment will help to prevent diseases. For severe leaf diseases use a stronger treatment like Monteray Disease Control.

Common Pests: The most common pest when growing tomatoes are aphids, mealy bugs, spider mites, and worms (like the tomato horn worm or army worms). All of these can be treated with spinosad.
