This beat out Oregon Spring in our garden this year by close to two weeks. Produced lots of smooth, uniform, red 2-oz tomatoes. The weight of the tomatoes damaged the stems despite assiduous staking. Perhaps cages would work better. Sub-Arctic Plenty tastes reasonably tomato-y but not very acid-y. Determinate plants that didn\'t mind crowding in our raised garden in a wet year. Presented quite a bit less late blight than Oregon Spring. As a testimony of our short growing season, maybe one-quarter of these have fully ripened and we are forecast into the 30\'s tonight. We plan to stick with short-season varieties here for sure!
