We've been having a series of cold Springs in recent years, so I tried this one because I was worried about the possibility of tomatoes not ripening before the autumn rains hit. As expected, it had no trouble ripening. Unlike many short-season tomatoes, this one has interior walls like a beefsteak type (or in other words it's not all gelatinous seed-chambers). It has a fairly typical "old-fashioned" flavor, a bit tart with slightly sweet overtones. The tomatoes vary in size and shape, but not too much. They are serviceable for sandwiches. Less trouble with blossom end rot or splitting than most of the other tomatoes I grew. Although it is a determinate, thankfully the fruit doesn't ripen all at once as happens on some determinate types; it's actually been spaced out fairly well making harvesting easier. The "vines" are fairly open, too, also making it easier to harvest.  -  Sunday, October 04, 2009 not very cold hardy Reviewed By: Jonas (Ogilvie , mn ) Wasn't to impressed with these lost some to spring frost and an early 28 degrees did the rest in tasted good but fruit was small other variteys performed better for me this year  -  Friday, April 03, 2009 Told it couldn't be done Reviewed By: Travis Miller (Ely , NV) I live at 6,400 ft elevation with a very short growing season begining about mid June and ending about mid September. Nights throughout the summer are cool and I have had little success getting other types of tomatoes to mature before the the first frost. I decided to give Cold Set a try and to my amazement I had mature tomatoes by mid August and produced enough to make salsa, give to friends, and just enjoy eating a ripe tomatoe picked right from the garden.  -  Wednesday, March 25, 2009 Not just for northern gardners! Reviewed By: Lee Willis (Surprise, Arizona) I started my seeds indoors last October. I transplanted them outside in late November. The small plants grew all winter and set fruit. I am now (Mar 09) harvesting the first fruit and am loving this new variety. We only had two light frosts this winter in the Phoenix area. I never covered my two Cold Set plants, yet they grew and set fruit all winter - plus they taste great! I will plant earlier this year. Maybe I'll be harvesting next February! The plants tend to grow sideways so I caged them. They also seem prone to blossom end rot. I did plant them with crushed eggshells in the ground. I'm ordering the spray for that so hopefully that problem will be resolved.  -  Saturday, December 08, 2007 THIS TOMATO IS GREAT!!! Reviewed By: Danny Grogg (Aloha, Oregon) This tamato tastes GREAT! Perfectly Round too! But most of all, IT WITH STOOD TEMPETURES DOWN TO 15 DEGREES! THAT'S FOR BOTH THE PLANT AND THE TOMATOES! Try it your self!
