Garden Size: Small - Less than 400 square feet (20' x 20')
Sun Exposure: 6 to 8 hours per day

IMHO it's not as bad as the other review but it's still just a standard tomato. I'd say the best thing about it is that it's easy to get good germination from saved seed. This is NOT a sweet tomato, eaten out of hand it's almost lemony. It makes good sauces if you add a large, whole carrot. Discard the carrot when it's soft and it will have absobed the acid (taste it and pucker).
