I must admit that this tomato grew despite me. Normally start my tomatoes indoors and move them outside. I threw out the wrong seedling trays onto an area near my compost pile. It receives full sun for most of the day and the ground was baked hard by the sun. Numerous seedlings sprouted and grew into small plants before I noticed them. The plants grew well despite minimal water and too much sun. They produced lots of the tastiest tomatoes I have ever eaten. Not many actually made it into the house. Highly recommended!
