I found a SunSugar tomato plant at my local garden center, and thought I'd give it a try. It's supposed to be an earlier variety, a cherry-type tomato. This is the first time I've seen it offered locally (there seem to be more and more weird and wonderful new hybrid and heirloom varieties available every time I look).
Right now it's in a 3-gallon pot on my fire escape, it gets adequate sun, but after about a week or so outside its stem and leaves have turned dark purple (as tomato foliage often does upon exposure to cold). Weather has been sunny but somewhat cool and the plant hasn't get taken off. I gave it some Ironite and Scott's Vegetable Food (20-27-5) and a deep watering, last night.
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area (Sunset Zone 16) and wonder if anyone else around here has tried this tomato. Thanks in advance.
