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.  -  Saturday, January 27, 2007 cold set tomato Reviewed By: joseph ferguson (vancleave, mississippi) best first spring tomato plant withstands cold freezing temperatures and late frost well; sets fruit before most other tomato plants bloom. large clusters of fruit for slicing and canning. finish barring before summer heat.  -  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!  -  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.
